1 Introduction
1.1 Labels and Marking
Observe and follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
 Danger symbols indicate a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result 
in death or serious injury.
 Warning symbols indicate a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could 
result in death or serious injury.
 Caution symbols indicate a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could 
result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Information provided with this heading alerts users to key points of interest not related to personal 
injury.
1.2 General Precautions
   The projector is a class 2M source of visible and invisible 
LED radiation. Directly Viewing the LED output with certain 
optical instruments (e.g. eye loupes, magnifiers and 
microscopes) within a distance of 100mm (3.94”) may pose 
an eye hazard.
     The projector is a class 2M source of visible and invisible LED radiation. 
Directly viewing the LED output with certain optical instruments (for 
example, eye loupes, magnifiers and microscopes) within a distance of 100 
mm may pose an eye hazard.
      Power should always be disconnected from the illumination module before 
servicing, to avoid the possibility of inadvertent exposure to visible and 
invisible LED radiation. Directly viewing the illumination module optical 
output through certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, 
magnifiers and microscopes) within a distance of 100mm may pose an eye 
hazard.
     Disconnect the AC cord before disconnecting the light module from the 
Projector Head Module (PHM).

1.3 Safety Warnings and Guidelines
Be aware of the caution label on the projector warning of 
possible eye hazard if the projected visible and invisible LED 
radiation light is viewed directly through certain optical 
instruments at close range. Figure 1-1 indicates where the 
label is located.

2Installation and Setup
This section explains how to install, connect and optimize the projector display. 
2.1 Installation Considerations
• Ambient temperature must stay below 40°C (95°F). Changes in temperature can cause drifts in the projector 
circuitry, which may affect performance. Keep the projector away from heating and air conditioning vents. 
• Keep the projector away from all devices radiating electromagnetic energy. For example, motors and 
transformers, slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
• Use an optical mirror for rear screen installations to shorten the optical light path and use less space in the 
projection room. For more information about projector installations, see 2.1.5 Installation Types.
2.1.1 Ventilation
NOTICE: Caution do not obstruct the air exchange to the projector. 
The projector vents provide ventilation, both for intake and exhaust. Do not block or cover these openings. Do 
not install the projector near a radiator or heat register, or within an enclosure. Make sure there is a minimum 
clearance of 25cm (10”) on the left, right, top and rear sides of the projector. 
2.1.2 Screen Size and Type
Screens with an aspect ratio of 16:10 are recommended for use with these projectors. To fill a screen with an 
image, the aspect ratio of the screen must be equal to the aspect ratio of the image. 
Diffused and optical screens are best suited for rear screen installations. A diffused screen has a surface which 
spreads the light striking it. Purely diffused screens have a gain of less than 1. Optical screens take light from 
the projector and redirect it to increase the light intensity at the front of the screen.
2.1.3 Ambient Lighting 
The contrast ratio of projected images is reduced when light directly strikes the screen. Eliminate all stray light 
sources from the viewing area.

Section 2: Installation and Setup
2.1.4 Lifting, Transporting and Mounting 
 Mount the projector to a sturdy, flat surface that fits the entire projector. 
Use all four mounting points to secure the projector to the surface.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 25cm (10”) around the projector, called a 
“stay out zone”, for air circulation and clearance for cable connections to the 
input panel. Insufficient stay out zone clearance can cause the projector to 
overheat during operation and/or place undue stress on source connections.
The projector should be lifted by 2 people. Use a stable cart to transport the projector. Refer to the drawings 
given for your specific projector model for the mounting hole location and other technical information and 
restrictions which may be useful during 
installation.

2.1.6 Rear Installations
There are 2 basic types of rear screen installations: 
• A diffused screen has a surface, which spreads the light striking it. Purely diffused screens have a gain of less 
than 1.0. The advantage of the diffused screen is its wide viewing angle, similar to that of a flat screen for 
front screen projection. This type of screen is suitable when a wide viewing angle is required but there is low 
ambient room lighting. 
• Optical screens take light from the projector and redirect it to increase the light intensity at the front of the 
screen. This reduces it in other areas. A viewing cone, similar to that of a curved front screen installation is 
created. This type of screen is better suited for brightly lit rooms where the audience is sitting within the 
viewing cone.
Table 2.3  Rear Screen / Floor Mount Installation
AdvantagesConsiderations
• Projector is hidden.
• Projector is easily accessed.
• Good ambient light rejection.• Requires a separate room or enclosure.
• Higher installation cost.
Table 2.4  Rear Screen / Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation
AdvantagesConsiderations
• Projector is hidden.
• Good ambient light rejection.• Requires a separate room.
• Higher installation cost.
• Access to the projector is limited.
Table 2.5  Rear Screen / Floor Mount with Mirror
AdvantagesConsiderations
• Projector is hidden
• Good ambient light rejection.
• Requires less space behind screen than 
other rear screen installations.• Requires a separate room or enclosure.
• Higher installation cost.
• Complex installation.

Section 2: Installation and Setup
2.2 Installing the Projector
This section gives the installation sequence for the Mirage WU-L projector. 
2.2.1 Unpacking the Projector
The projector is shipped assembled with the projection lens shipped separately. 
The lens must be installed prior to setting up the projector. 
1. Remove the projector from the box and packing material.
NOTE: Save packing material for at least 1 projector in case a projector needs to 
be shipped for service. 
2. Connect the Electronics Module to the Projector Head Module and Light Module. 
2.2.2 Installing the Lens
1. Remove the rear lens cap from the lens. Keep the front lens cap on the lens.
2. Rotate the lens clamp to the OPEN position (Figure 2-3).
3. Remove and retain the (2) security screws from the lens mount, see Figure 2-4.
4. Align the lens interface plate with the lens mount. Fully insert the assembly straight into the lens mount 
opening without turning. 
NOTICE: Ensure the lens IS NOT inserted at an angle as this can cause damage.
5. Rotate the lens clamp to the CLOSED position before fastening the security screws.
6. Fasten the security screws (Security Screws). 
NOTICE: Security screws MUST be installed.
7. Remove the front lens cap.
For more information concerning lenses, see 2.11 Projection Lenses, Lens Mount and Other Features and 
2.12 Cleaning the Lens.
