The wall mount is designed specifically for mounting a projector to a wall. If anything other than a  
projector is mounted, the weight may result in damage. 
If the wall mount falls, it could caus e personal injury or property damage. 
The installation work (wall mounting and attachment of the interactive module to the projector) should be  
performed by specialists who have technical knowledge and ability. Incomplete or incorrect installation 
could cause the wall mount, projector, or interactive module to fall and cause personal injury or property 
damage. 
Follow the instructions in this guide when installing the wall mount and interactive module. 
If the instructions are not followed, the wall mount or inte ractive module may fall, resulting in personal injury or  
property damage. 
Handle the power cord and USB cable carefully. 
Incorrect handling may cause fire or electric shoc k. Observe the following precautions when handling: 
• Do not handle the power plug  or USB cable with wet hands. 
• Do not use a power cord or USB cable that is damaged or modified. 
• Do not pull the power cord or USB cable with too mu ch force when routing them through the wall mount. 
Do not install the wall mount in a place where it might be subjected to vibration or shock. 
Vibration or shock could caus e damage to the projector or mounting surface. It could also cause the wall mount or  
projector to fall and cause personal injury or property damage. 
Install the wall mount so that it can sufficiently suppo rt the weight of the projector and wall mount, and  
resist any horizontal vibration. Use M8 nuts and bolts. 
Nuts and bolts smaller than M8 could ca use the wall mount to fall. Epson accepts no responsibility for any damage  
or injury caused by lack of wall  strength or inadequate installation.

The installation work should be performed by at least two qualified service personnel. If you need to  
loosen any screws during installation,  be careful not to drop the wall mount. 
If the wall mount or projector falls, it coul d cause personal injury or property damage. 
When you mount the projector on the wall with the wall mount, the wall requires enough strength to hold  
the projector, the interactive module, and the wall mount.  
This wall mount should be installed on a concrete wall. Confirm the weight of the projector, the interactive  
module, and the wall mount before installation, and main tain the strength of the wall. If the wall is not  
strong enough, reinforce the wall before installation.  
Inspect the wall mount on a regular basis to ensure there are no broken parts or loose screws. 
If there are any broken parts, stop using the wall mount imme diately. If the wall mount or projector falls, it could  
cause personal injury or property damage. 
Never modify the wall mount. 
Never open the interactive module cover, except as specifically explained in this guide. Never attempt to  
disassemble or modify the interactive module. Keep liquids and foreign objects away from the interactive 
module. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. 
Electrical voltages inside the interact ive module can cause severe injury. Water infiltration or deterioration and  
breakage of the interactive module  cover may result in electric shock. 
Do not hang on the wall mount or hang a heavy object on the wall mount. 
 If the projector or wall mount falls, it co uld cause personal injury or property damage. 
Do not apply excessive force to the interactive module when adjusting the projector. 
The interactive module may break, resulting in personal injury. 
Do not use adhesives, lubricants, or oils to install or adjust the wall mount. 
If you use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening or  things such as lubricants or oils on the  part of the  
projector attached to the slide plate, th e case may crack and cause the projector to fall, resulting in personal injury  
or property damage. 
Tighten all screws firmly after adjustment. 
Otherwise, the projector or wall mount may fall and cause personal injury or property damage. 
Never loosen the bolts an d nuts after installation. 
Confirm that the screws have not become loose on a regu lar basis. If you find any loose screws, tighten them  
firmly. Otherwise, the projector or wall mount may fall and cause personal injury or property damage. 
When performing wiring, make sure the cable does not come into contact with any screws or bolts.  
Handling the cable incorrectly ma y cause fire or electric shock. 
Disconnect the interactive module’s USB cable and refer all repairs to qualified service personnel under the  
following conditions: 
• Smoke, strange odors or strange noises come from the interactive module. 
• Liquid or foreign objects get inside the interactive module.
• The interactive module has been dropped or the cover has been damaged. 
Continuing to use the interactive module under these  conditions may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not install the wall mount in a location where the operating temperature for your projector model may  
be exceeded. Such an environment may damage the projector. 
Install the wall mount in a place free from excessive dust and humidity to prevent the lens or optical  
components from becoming dirty.

Location
•Determine where you will install the wall mount and prepare the location in advance. Also, make sure  
there is a gap of 16 to 26 inches (410 to 660 mm) from the top of the image projected onto the white  
board to the ceiling. See “Positioning the  Projector” on page 14 for more details.
•Do not install the projector in a location where it might be subjected to vibration or shock. Vibration or  
shock could cause damage to the projector or mounting  surface. It could also cause the wall mount or  
projector to fall, resulting  in serious injury or death.
•Before installing the projector, verify the power supply wiring for the installation location.
•Install the projector away from other electric devices such as fluorescent lights or air conditioners. Some  
kinds of fluorescent lights could interfere  with the remote control of the projector.
•Install the projector away from direct sunlight and other bright light sources.
•It is recommended to keep VGA computer cable length less than 66 ft (20 meters) to reduce external  
noise.
About This Installation Guide
This guide describes how to mount the short-throw projectors BrightLink® 421i/425Wi/430i/435Wi/436Wi and  
PowerLite® 420/425W/430/435W to a wall using the Epson® wall mount. 
Also included are instructions for attaching the intera ctive module, which is included with BrightLink 425Wi/ 
430i/435Wi only.
Because the interactive module uses infrared communication, it could interfere with infrared  
communication from other products. If this happens,  move the other product(s) out of the detection area.
Not all models are available in all markets.

Connecting Computers
You can use any of the following ports to connect computers to the projector:
•Computer1 or Computer2 (VGA connections)
•HDMI
•USB TypeB (USB display, not recommended because of reduced interactive performance)
•Video (composite video)
•LAN (RJ-45)
If you connect VGA cables to both the Computer1 and Computer2 ports, make sure you label the cables. The 
teacher or other user needs to know which port is being used so that the correct source for full interactivity 
can be selected in the Easy Interactive Function menu screen.
For computer interactive pen support (using Easy Interactive Tools or other 3rd party annotation software), 
you need to connect a USB cable from the computer to the projector.
Connecting Through a Network
If both the projector and computer are connected to the same network by an Ethernet® cable, users can 
project through the network. You must install the EasyMP® Network Projection software on the computer. This 
software is available on the Epson Projector Software CD that came with the projector or at epson.com/
support/brightlinkdownloads (U.S.) or epson.ca/support/brightlinkdownloads (Canada).
For full computer interactivity (using Easy Interactive Tools software), you also need to connect a USB cable 
from the computer to the projector and select LAN as the source (see the User’s Guide for more information on 
selecting the source for interactivity).
