PowerLite® Pro G6050W/6150/6450WU/6550WU/ 
6750WU/6800/6900WU 3LCD Projectors
The best-selling projectors in the world.
Built with image quality and reliability in mind, Epson projectors enhance communication and inspire 
collaboration, while offering a low total cost of ownership. From ultraportable projectors designed for 
educational settings to boardroom-ready install  able business projectors, Epson has the model made 
for you.
3  x Brighter Colors with Epson 1
Brilliant image quality requires high color brightness 
(color light output), and Epson® 3LCD projectors have 
3  x Brighter Colors than leading competitive projectors 1. 
One brightness measurement (lumens) is not enough. 
A projector‘s specification needs to show both high color 
brightness and high white brightness. If color brightness is 
lower than white brightness, images may be dark, dull and lose 
detail. If not provided, be sure to ask for a projector’s 
color brightness specification. 
       Color brightness significantly lower than white brightness
Actual photographs of projected images from an identical signal
source. Price, resolution and white brightness are similar for
both projectors (Epson 3LCD and 1-chip DLP competitor).
Both projectors are set to their brightest mode. High color brightness and high white brightness

1                           
						

							Incredible HDBaseT 3 and 
diverse connectivity 
Connect with virtually any system including HDBase-T 3, 
HD-SDI 3, HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, BNC and LAN connectivity. 
Cutting-edge HDBaseT technology means just one single 
CAT-5/6 cable carries full HD video, audio, network and control 
commands. And it’s over 328 feet to accommodate large 
venues. No need for additional cables, signal repeaters or 
added labor. 
 
Optional HDBaseT 3 transmitter 
For your convenience, Epson offers an optional HDBaseT 
transmitter box as a companion piece to the Pro G series. 
Three inputs are featured for easy installation: HDMI, LAN, 
and RS-232 to output into a CAT-5/6 cable.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Advanced, integrated edge-blending 
technology
Enhance the experience with seamless panoramic, multi-screen 
images that blend edges by matching color and brightness 
perfectly, even in areas that overlap. The Pro G6800 and Pro 
G6900WU models take edge blending one step further with 
curved surface and corner wall support. Project on horizontal 
or vertical walls while also using edge blending to heighten the 
experience even more. 
Stacked 3D solutions
You can create an impressive viewing experience with twice 
the brightness. Using Epson’s stacked solution (requires two 
projectors). Polarized filters, in combination with low-cost 
glasses, makes it easy to enjoy the theater experience, right 
in your own personal space.
Split Screen 5
Split Screen allows you to display content from two inputs 
simultaneously, side by side, on a single screen. With three 
layout options, you can display video and presentation 
materials, or run video on both screens. 
DICOM Simulation Mode 6
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) is 
a standard for handling, storing, printing and transmitting 
medical imaging information. DICOM Simulation Mode 
 is 
ideal for viewing grayscale medical images, such as X-rays, 
for training and educational purposes. It enables users to 
reproduce images with an advanced grayscale level that 
simulates DICOM Part 14. 
360-degree installation
The PowerLite Pro G Series can be rotated 360 degrees in any 
direction for off-axis positioning flexibility. As a result, it can be 
used for a wide range of applications, such as projecting on 
the ceiling or floor, or as part of a rear-projection system. Epson 
technology keeps the projector running without compromising 
performance or causing overheating.  
						

							Designed for rental and staging
The SDI input accommodates live video streaming. 360-degree 
installation allows for placement virtually anywhere. And, an 
inconspicuous black case means uncompromised 
presentations. 
Note: SDI input available on the Pro G6900WU model only.
Short-throw lens
Install the projector as close as a 0.7´ throw ratio to the screen 
and still get the same clear, crisp projection. A 1.2x zoom and 
up to 69% vertical and up to 31% horizontal lens shift gives 
even more flexibility when you need it.
Six optional lenses
For added flexibility, the PowerLite Pro G Series offers a total 
of six lenses, including one standard (included), one wide, one 
rear, two middle and one long-throw, that allow users to choose 
the lens most suited for their environment. A quick-release lever 
allows for a fast, easy lens exchange. One standard lens is 
included; other lenses are not included with the projector. 
Easy Management® 
The EasyMP® Monitor tool makes it easy to monitor and control 
all networked Epson projectors, set up email notifications, 
verify and change internal settings, and more. You can also 
remotely power down your projector(s) to extend the lamp life 
and save energy.
Multi-PC projection
Epson Multi-PC Collaboration utility allows you to display four 
individual PC screens simultaneously over the network (wired 
or wireless), with another 28 users connected to the same 
projector on standby mode. This feature is a great tool for 
meetings or classroom projects where multiple users want to 
present and compare their content. 
Note: This feature available on the Pro G6050/6150/6450WU/ 
6550WU/6750WU models only.
Schedule function
Save energy using the convenient Schedule function. And, 
easily control the projector at non-networked venues. The 
embedded clock inside the projector enables it to do scheduled 
tasks without having the network standby mode on. 
Protect your investment — long-life 
electrostatic air filter
The PowerLite Pro G series electrostatic filter is designed to 
protect the optical engine, lamp and electronics from small dust 
particles that can enter any projector. It has a recommended 
10,000-hour filter cleaning schedule 
7 and can capture 
particles as small as three microns, due in part to its pleated, 
expanded design. 
Easy maintenance
Offering convenient access to the lamps and filter, the Pro G 
series makes maintenance easier than ever, even if the 
projector is ceiling mounted. The lamp cover is located on the 
rear side panel and there are no screws, so the lid can be 
removed without any special tools. 
Lens shift 
Epson lens shift technology enables outstanding installation 
flexibility with an incredible range of up to + or – 67° on the 
vertical axis and up to + or – 30° on the horizontal axis (may 
vary by model). Users can operate the lens shift functions using 
the adjustment knobs on the top of the projector.

Cross zoning 
This feature requires two or more trips within a specified time on one or more zones that 
are programmed as “cross zones” before it will report an alarm. During the time between 
trips, the NX-8E can be programmed to sound the keypad and/or the siren. The NX-8E 
can also be programmed to report an alarm after two or more trips on the same zone. 
The first trip on a cross-zone is also logged (see locations 37 segment 1, 39, 40 and 
110-169). 
Daylight savings time 
The NX-8E has the possibility to switch automatically from summer to wintertime and vice 
versa. This option will move the clock backward on the last Sunday of October (3 a.m. 
becomes 2 a.m.) and will move the clock forward on the last Sunday of March (2 a.m. 
becomes 3 a.m.) (see location 37, segment 5, option 8).  
Dual / split / multiple reports 
The NX-8E can send communication reports to three different phone numbers for dual, 
split or multiple reports: these can be selected by event or by partition (see locations 4, 
10, and 16). 
Duress code 
If a duress code is programmed, the NX-8E will send a duress signal whenever the panel 
is armed or disarmed with this code. If open/close reports are sent, the user code will be 
254 (see location 44). 
Dynamic battery test 
The NX-8E can be programmed to perform a dynamic battery test for a selected duration 
when the panel is armed or disarmed for the first time each day. The NX-8E can also be 
programmed to perform a ‘missing battery’ test every 12 seconds (see locations 37 
segments 2 and 3 and location 40).  A low battery si 
End of line resistor defeat 
The NX-8E can be programmed to make zones 1-8 for normally closed operation only, 
eliminating the need of the end of line resistors on these zones. When a zone is 
programmed for normally closed operation, a short on that zone will not change the loop 
condition, and an open on that zone will produce a faulted condition. This feature will be 
ignored by any priority zone (see locations 110-169).  
Entry-guard 
This unique low level arming mode has been developed to reduce the most common 
source of false alarms. When armed in the “Stay Instant” mode, opening any zone 
designated as an “Entry Guard Zone” will initiate the keypad sounder and start the entry 
delay before generating an alarm. All the other zones will function as normal. This arming 
mode will encourage system owners to use their systems more frequently when the 
premises are occupied (see locations 111-169). 
Exit error 
If this option is enabled, the NX-8E will send an “Exit Error Report” when an entry/exit 
zone is faulted, at the instant the exit delay expires. This report will be sent together with 
the user number that was used to arm the system, provided that the panel is not 
disarmed before the entry delay expires. The alarm report will also be sent. Even if this 
feature is not enabled, the siren will sound if any entry/exit zone is faulted, as soon as the 
exit delay expires (see location 23 segment 3).

Expander trouble 
The NX-8E will report expander trouble to the central station if this option is enabled. This 
condition will light up the “Service” LED on the keypad, even if it is not reported.  
NOTE: The keypads are considered to be expanders. The number of expansion devices 
that are reported can be found in appendix 3 (see location 37 segment 3). 
Early to Open/ Late to Close 
If an opening occurs before the opening and closing times, the NX-8E will send an “Early 
Open” report. If it fails to close on or before the designated closing time, the NX-8E will 
send a “Late to Close”report. (see location 23 segment 4) 
Fail to communicate 
The NX-8E will light up the “Service” LED if a report fails to reach the central station. If 
this option is enabled, a fail to communicate code will be reported when the next report is 
successfully communicated. A fail to communicate is always logged as “data lost” 
(see location 37 segment 4). 
Final set door 
If this feature is enabled, it will only be applicable for secondary entry/exit zones (f.e. 
configuration group 9 or 19). If the final set door option is enabled, the exit time will 
immediately expire as soon as the secondary entry/exit zone (type 9 or 19) becomes 
ready again. This feature can only be used in combination with magnetic contracts (see 
location 23, segment 2, option 8).  
Fire alarm verification 
When this feature is enabled, the NX-8E will verify a fire alarm by requiring more than one 
trip on a smoke detector (the same or another one) within a specified time (120-255 
seconds) before it generates an alarm (see location 40 segment 9). 
First opening/last closing report for multiple partitions 
If this feature is enabled, the NX-8E will only transmit a closing report after ALL partitions 
have been armed. An opening report will be sent as soon as one partition has been 
disarmed (see location 37).  
Force arming 
If this option is enabled, the NX-8E can be “Force Armed” when zones have been 
violated. In this condition, the “Ready” LED will flash if a “Force Armable” zone is not 
secure. At the end of the exit delay, these zones will become bypassed. If these zones 
become secured at any time during the arming cycle, they will be unbypassed and will 
become active in the system. If “Bypass Report” is enabled, the force arming zones can 
be programmed to report bypass when they are force armed (default), or not to report 
bypass even if “Bypass Report” is enabled (see locations 37 segment 5, and 111-169 
segment 2). 
Group bypass 
A designated group of zones can be programmed to bypass by pressing  [Bypass]-[0]-[0]-
[Bypass] prior to arming (see locations 111-169 segment 2).

Immediate restore by zone 
The NX-8E can be programmed to send alarm and restore reports as soon as they occur, 
or to wait until the siren time has expired or the system has been disarmed. (see location 
37 segment 2). 
Internal event log 
Up to 512 events can be stored in memory together with the date and time of the event. 
These events can be viewed later on via the LCD keypad, or by downloading. All 
reportable events are reported to the log. 
Keypad activated panics 
The NX-8E has three keypad activated panics that will send reports to the central station,  
auxiliary 1 (Fire), auxiliary 2 (Medical) and keypad panic. Auxiliary 1 will activate the 
steady (Fire) siren, auxiliary 2 will sound the keypad, and the keypad panic can be 
programmed to be silent or audible (see location 23 segment 1). 
Keypad shutdown mode 
This feature will extinguish all the LED’s on the keypad, except the “Power” LED, after 60 
seconds have elapsed without a keypress. Pressing a valid user code (not an installer 
code) will light up all the LED’s (see location 41, segment 1, option 5). This option 
requires bilingual LCD keypads. This option is an alternative for LED-extinguish.  
Keypad sounder control 
The NX-8E can be programmed to sound the keypad sounder for certain events (see 
location 39). 
Keypad tamper 
If this option is enabled, the NX-8E will disable the keypad for 60 seconds, and will 
communicate a tamper signal to the central station whenever 30 keypresses are entered 
without producing a valid code (see location 23 segment 1). 
Keyswitch arm/disarm 
Any zone on the NX-8E can be programmed as a momentary or maintained keyswitch 
zone. If a zone has been programmed as a momentary keyswitch, momentary shorts on 
this zone will arm/disarm the control. A zone can be also being programmed as a 
maintained keyswitch. The control panel will be armed as long as such a zone is shorted. 
If opening/closing reports are sent, the user code will be 99 (see “default zone 
configurations”)  
LED extinguish 
This feature will extinguish all the LED’s on the keypad, except the “Power” LED, after 60 
seconds (Norway / Sweden: 30 seconds) have elapsed without a keypress. Pressing any 
numeric key will light up all the LED’s (see location 23 segment 2). 
Local programming lockout 
This feature will disable programming of all locations, or for specified locations, from the 
keypad (see location 21). 
Log full report 
A report can be sent to the central station when the event log is full (see location 37 
segment 4). 
Lost clock service light 
The NX-8E can be programmed to light up the “Service” LED on a LED keypad or give a 
“Service” message on a LCD keypad when the internal clock time is invalid due to power 
loss. On LCD keypads, if programmed to show the system time, a “Set Clock, *97” 
message will always be displayed (see location 37 segment 5).

Manual test 
The NX-8E can be programmed to perform a bell and/or communicator test; to do this, 
enter [*]-[4]-[4] while the system is in the disarmed state. Each time that [*]-[4]-[4] is 
entered, a dynamic battery test will also be performed (see location 37 segment 2). 
Night Mode 
Applies to NX-1208E / NX-1248E keypads. In this mode, the control panel will bypass all 
zones that have the Entry Guard feature enabled. (See location 23 and 111-169) 
 
On board zone disable 
The eight zones on the NX-8E panel can be disabled, in order to obtain a completely 
wireless alarm system. A mix of hardwired and wireless zones for zones 1-8 is also 
possible (see location 37 segment 5). 
Partitions 
The NX-8E can be partitioned into a maximum of eight separate systems with distinct 
reporting codes, user codes, and operating features for each system (see locations 26- 
36 and locations 171-205). 
Program code 
The factory default for the “Go To Program” code is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3] when using a 4-digit 
code; or, if the 6-digit option is used, the default is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]-[0]-[0]. The program code 
can also be used as an arm/disarm code. If it is used as an arm/disarm code, and if 
open/close reports are sent, the user code will be 255 (see location 43). 
Quick arm feature 
The NX-8E has a single-button “Quick Arm” feature which can be used to arm the system 
by pressing the [Exit] key or the [Stay] key on the keypad. If closing reports are sent, the 
user code will be 98 (see location 23 segment 1). 
Recent closing 
If this option is enabled, the NX-8E will send a “Recent Closing Report” to the central 
station if an alarm occurs within 5 minutes after the panel is armed. The user number that 
was used to arm the system will also be sent (see location 23 segment 3). 
Re-exit 
The NX-8E can restart the exit delay for a quick exit without the need to disarm the 
system; this is done by pressing the [Exit] key while the system is still armed (= after exit 
delay has expired). The re-exit is also logged (see location 23 segment 1). 
Shutdown 
This mode will cause the keypads to extinguish all LED’s, except the “Power” LED, and to 
refuse keypresses (see location 21). 
Siren blast for arming 
The NX-8E can be programmed to give a one-second siren blast when the panel is 
armed, at the end of the exit delay, or when the central station receiver acknowledges the 
closing report. It can also give one blast for remote (keyswitch) arming, and two blasts for 
remote disarming (see location 37 segment 1). 
Siren supervision 
The NX-8E has a “Siren Supervision” circuit that will constantly monitor the siren on the 
NX-8E; it can also be programmed to report if the wires are cut (see location 37 segment 
3). 
Silent exit option 
The exit delay can be silenced by pressing [*]-[Exit] before arming the control panel, or 
when using the re-exit feature. The exit delay can also be silenced permanently in all 
partitions (see location 37 segment 5).
