Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]
This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO MODE]
is set to [ON]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER].
There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON
SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can
check the information on [USAGE TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. (→ page 134)
The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO2 emission reduction between the time of
changing to ECO MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON SAVINGS-
SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE ?] message at the time of power-off.
TIP:
• The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO2 emission reduction.
Amount of CO2 emission reduction = (Power consumption in [OFF] for ECO MODE − Power consumption in [ON] for ECO MODE)
× CO2 conversion factor.* When the image is turned off, the amount of CO2 emission reduction will also increase.
* Calculation for amount of CO2 emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008
Edition”.
• The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals.
• This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.

Five separate bayonet style lenses can be used with this projector. The descriptions here are for the NP27ZL lens.
Mount other lenses in the same manner.
NOTE:
• The projector and lenses are made of precision parts. Do not subject them to shock or excessive forces.
• Remove the separately sold lens when moving the projector. If not, the lens could be subject to shock while the projector is being
moved, damaging the lens and the lens shift mechanism.
• Turn off the power and wait for the cooling fan to stop and turn off the main power switch before mounting or removing the
lens.
• When dismounting the lens from the projector, return the lens position to the home position before turning off the power. Failure to
do so may prevent the lens from being mounted or dismounted because of narrow space between the projector and the lens.
• Be sure to perform [CALIBRATION] after installation or replacement of the lens. (→ page 18, 126) Calibration corrects the adjust-
able zoom and focus range.
The following lenses need calibration:
- NP26ZL, NP27ZL, NP28ZL, NP29ZL
• Never touch the lens surface while the projector is operating.
• Be very careful not to let dirt, grease, etc., on the lens surface and not to scratch the lens surface.
• Perform these operations on a flat surface over a piece of cloth, etc., to prevent the lens from getting scratched.

Stacking projectors
The projected image brightness can be doubled by gravity stacking up to two projectors without external support. This
is called “Stacking Projection”.
CAUTION:
A minimum of two persons are required to carry the projector. Otherwise the projector may tumble or drop, causing
personal injury.
NOTE:
• Projectors with different model numbers cannot be gravity stacked.
Optional lenses with the same model numbers must be used for stacking projection.
• The stacking projection does not support accuracy for overlaying two images perfectly so that small text and detailed graphics
can be clearly read or seen.
• Use a commercially available distribution amplifier to both the primary (upper) and the secondary (lower) projectors to distribute
signal to two outputs of the two projectors.
• Notes for stacking
- Ask your service person for setting up and adjusting projectors.
- Set up the projectors in a place or structure in a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the two projec-
tors. The single projector with a lens weighs up to approximately 46 kg/ 101 lbs.
- To prevent the projectors from falling, fasten them in a way to withstand earthquakes.
- Double stacking will cause room temperature to increase. Ventilate the room well.
- Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling. Gravity stacking cannot be done on the ceiling.
- Warm up the projectors for one hour before the desired projection is obtained.
- Set up the projectors so that the projected image shows as little geometric distortions as possible. The lens is different in
geometric distortion between wide(+) and tele (−) for zoom.
s
- Adjust the horizontal lens shift to the lens center.

NOTE:
• Logo data (graphics) that can be sent to the projector with Virtual Remote Tool has the following restrictions:
- File size: 256 KB or less
- Image size (resolution): the native resolution of the projector
- File format: JPEG
• The logo data that is sent with Virtual Remote Tool will be displayed at the center of the screen. Its surrounding will be painted
out in black.
• Once you have changed the background selection from the default “NEC logo” to another selection, you cannot return the logo to
the default “NEC logo” even after using [RESET]. To put the default “NEC logo” back in the background logo, you need to register
it as the background logo by using the image file (\Logo\NEC_logo_black_WUXGA.jpg) included on the supplied NEC Projector
CD-ROM.

9. Appendix
❶ Throw distance and screen size
Five separate bayonet style lenses can be used on this projector. Refer to the information on this page and use a
lens suited for the installation environment (screen size and throw distance). For instructions on mounting the lens,
see page 163.
Each number provided in the table below means the throw distance between the lens surface and the screen.
TIP
• Calculation of the throw distance from the screen size
NP25FL lens throw distance (m) = H × 0.67 : 1.1 m (min.) to 3.2 m (max.)
NP26ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 1.35 to H × 1.84 : 2.8 m (min.) to 24.0 m (max.)
NP27ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 1.84 to H × 2.54 : 4.0 m (min.) to 24.0 m (max.)
NP28ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 2.62 to H × 4.20 : 9.0 m (min.) to 45.0 m (max.)
NP29ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 4.21 to H × 6.96 : 12.0 m (min.) to 80.0 m (max.)
“H” (Horizontal) refers to the screen width.
* Figures differ by several % with the table above because the calculation is approximate.
Ex.: Throw distance when projecting on a 150" screen using the NP27ZL lens:
According to the “Screen Size (for reference)” table (→ page 217), H (screen width) = 323.1 cm.
The throw distance is 323.1 cm × 1.7 to 323.1 cm × 2.3 = 549.3 cm to 743.13 cm (because of the zoom lens).
• Using the NP28ZL lens will slightly change the image size. When using the NP28ZL lens to adjust the image size, adjust the focus
and then the zoom.

*4 HDMI® (Deep Color, Lip Sync)/DisplayPort with HDCP
What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system
for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).
If you are unable to view material via the HDMI and DisplayPort input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not function-
ing properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might
not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).
