Required tools

Allen key 2 mm with long shaft (delivered with the kit)

How to prepare the lens
  1. Place the lens on a table. Turn out the 6 screws (1). Use an Allen key with a long shaft so that you do not damage the screw head. These screws will not be reused.

    Note: Always use the correct tool (delivered with the kit) to avoid damage to the screw heads !

  3. Rotate the motor housing until the chosen marker on the housing corresponds with the reference marking on the lens body (steps of 30°). See if the mounting holes matches the holes in the lens body.

    E.g., if you want to project to the left, then turn the motor housing until the left marking on the motor housing corresponds with the reference marking on the lens housing.

  4. Slide the motor housing back to the front of the lens to re-engage focusing gear and motor gear.
  5. Turn in 6 new Allen screws with glue (screws are delivered with the kit). These screws can be multiple times reused. The turned out old screws can be thrown away.

    Use again a tool with a long shaft (Allen key 2 mm, delivered with the kit).

    The lens is ready to be mounted on the projector.
