Introduction Before installing the AP-60, you should perform the following steps: • Run all wiring required for the audio and power connections for the AP-60 and projector. • If you have a projector already installed, remove the projector from the 1.5-inch mounting pipe and remove the old mounting pipe. If you aren’t installing a projector with the AP-60, make sure you have a ceiling mount compatible with a 1.5-inch NPT mounting pipe installed.
Planning the Installation Here are the basic steps required to install the AP-60. Allow at least 1 to 2 hours to complete the installation. Be sure to read all of the installation instructions before starting. Note Epson strongly recommends that the AP-60 be installed by a professional audio/video installer or other qualified professional. Epson cannot provide advice concerning construction practices or building codes in your area. The Installation requires at least two people.
Required Tools and Hardware The AP-60 should be installed by a professional audio/video installer or other qualified professional. To install the system, the installer will need these tools: • Phillips screwdriver • Large adjustable wrench • Ladder • Hardware for securing the IR dome sensor and coaxial cable Note Depending on your ceiling construction, additional tools and hardware may be required. Installing the IR Dome Sensor The IR dome sensor is the first thing you’ll need to install.
Locate the following parts: • IR dome sensor • Coaxial cable Warning Make sure that the ceiling is strong enough to support the IR dome sensor and coaxial cable. Epson accepts no responsibility for the IR dome sensor falling due to insufficient ceiling strength or inadequate installation. 1 Bend both ends of the mounting bracket as shown below. 2 Securely attach the IR dome sensor to the ceiling. Installation varies depending on your building construction.
Install the Mounting Pipe Warning Make sure that the installed ceiling mount is designed to support the total weight of both the AP-60 and your projector. If you’re installing the AP-60 without a projector, the ceiling mount must be designed to support the total weight of the AP-60 (approximately 15.2 lbs [6.9 kg]). 1 Thread the included mounting pipe into your ceiling mount. 2 Follow your ceiling mount manufacturer’s instructions to secure the pipe to the ceiling mount.
Install the AP-60 Locate the following parts: • AP-60 • Lower bracket • M47.5 jam nut • M10 bolt and nut 1 Locate the lower bracket and M47.5 jam nut and have them close by. 2 Before attaching the AP-60 to the mounting pipe, feed the projector’s power and video cables through the cable channel as shown below. 3 Slide the AP-60 and the lower bracket onto the mounting pipe with the audio control panel facing the front of the room.
5 Remove the two screws from the audio control panel. Remove screws 6 Gently remove the audio control panel from the AP-60 and keep it supported at all times. Warning Pulling out the audio control panel too quickly or not supporting the audio control panel when it is removed from the AP-60 can permanently damage the cable connections on the back of the audio control panel.
7 Insert the audio cables into the cable channel, then feed the cables through the audio control panel slot as shown below. 8 Connect the audio cables to the audio control panel. RCA line input Power ANTFD HF Off / Low / Hi Off / On Line 1 LCP Output Rec L Microphone CMD IR sensor RS232 R Line 2 DVD 3.5 mm stereo-mini jack input 9 3.5 mm stereo-mini jack output Gently slide the audio control panel back into the AP-60 while pulling out any excess cable from the top of the unit.
10 Secure the two screws that hold the audio control panel in place. 11 Attach the IR dome sensor cable to the top of the AP-60. 12 Once the cables are positioned as desired, lift the AP-60 and secure the lower bracket with the M10 bolt and nut. 13 Tighten the M47.5 jam nut until it’s flush with the lower bracket.
14 Attach the included guy wires to the AP-60 as shown below. 15 Attach the guy wires to a secure location. Installation varies depending on your building construction. Note When installing the guy wires, do not make them too taut. This can cause the AP-60 to be unstable on the mounting pipe and lower bracket. 16 Connect the power cable to the AP-60.
Install the Projector When installing a projector under the AP-60, make sure that all of the mounting hardware and guy wires are secured correctly. Follow the instructions included with your projector mount to attach the projector to the mounting pipe. Then connect power and video cables to the projector as necessary. Attach the Neck Strap 1 Disconnect both ends of the pendant microphone’s neck strap. 2 Attach the ends of the neck strap to the pendant microphone.
3 Reconnect the ends of the neck strap. Insert Batteries 1 Remove the remote control battery cover. 2 Check the battery label and insert the included R6 (manganese) AA batteries into the remote control. 3 Replace the remote control battery cover. 4 Open the pendant microphone’s battery cover.
5 Check the battery label and insert the included LR6 (alkaline) AA batteries into the pendant microphone. 6 Close the pendant microphone’s battery cover. Adjust the Sound Before adjusting the audio levels, make sure that you have connected your audio equipment to the AP-60. Then follow the steps in this sections to adjust the audio levels. 1 Press the P power button on the AP-60 remote control to turn on the system. The P power light on the AP-60 turns green.

Microphone 1 gain control knob 11 Press the Volume + button on the AP-60 remote control while speaking into the microphone. Continue pressing the button until you hear feedback (howling). 12 Press the Volume – button until the feedback stops, then press the Volume – button four or five more times.
Basic Operation Problems Problem The system doesn’t turn on. Solution Press the P power button on the AP-60 remote control to turn the system on or off. The remote control’s batteries may need to be replaced. See page 18. Check the P power light on the AP-60. When the AP-60 is off, the light is orange. This indicates that the system is receiving power. If the light is not on, make sure that your electrical outlet is working and that the power cord is connected securely.
Problems Using the Pendant Microphone Problem Solution The power light won’t come on. You may need to replace the pendant microphone’s batteries (see page 20). There is no sound. Check to make sure that the pendant microphone’s power button is green. If it’s red or not lit, replace the batteries (see page 20). Make sure the AP-60 is turned on. If the AP-60 doesn’t receive an audio signal for 60 minutes, it turns off automatically.
