Eiki AH-E21010 Standard Zoom Long Throw Projector Lens: Compatible with EK-500UL EK-501WL EK-502XL

Eiki Original Lens AH-E21010 Standard Zoom is a genuine optical accessory for Eiki installation projectors, belonging to the long throw category, with a throw ratio of 1.44-2.67:1. The original compatibility list covers 6 models; before installation, simply verify against the projector model and panel size — no adapter rings needed. The value of an original lens isn't a few extra rows of numbers on a spec sheet, but that it is calibrated at the factory to the optical path and mount of that series: once installed, the image circle, edge illumination, and focus travel are all at their design values, with no need to compensate image quality via keystone correction.

1. Lens Specifications

Brand	Eiki
Lens Model	AH-E21010 Standard Zoom
Throw Ratio	1.44-2.67:1
Product Type	Long Throw
Compatible Models	6
Warranty	12 months; after-sales service available for non-human damage, based on the date on the shipping document

The above specifications are subject to the original manufacturer's specifications. For mechanical dimensions, flange focal distance, and mount type not shown in the spec table, please verify with us against the projector model — ordering based on model similarity alone carries the risk of incompatibility.

2. Converting Throw Ratio to Installation Distance

Throw ratio is the ratio of installation distance to image width. This original lens is a zoom lens (1.44-2.67:1), so the same image size corresponds to a range of distances; as long as installation falls within this range, focus can be achieved.

Image Size	Image Width	Required Installation Distance
100 inches	2.15 m	approx. 3.10 – 5.74 m
120 inches	2.58 m	approx. 3.72 – 6.89 m
150 inches	3.22 m	approx. 4.64 – 8.61 m
200 inches	4.30 m	approx. 6.19 – 11.48 m

The above are clear distances from the lens face to the screen, excluding rear ventilation and cabling space behind the projector body. Calculated for 16:10 aspect ratio; actual values are subject to on-site measurement and the original manufacturer's manual.

Image quality differs at the two ends of the zoom range: toward the near end the image is brighter with slightly softer edges; toward the far end the edges are sharper with slightly reduced brightness. Where space permits, it is recommended to land in the middle of the range; after installation, first find the sharpest position on the focus ring, then fine-tune the shift.

The table below is taken from the original compatibility list; brightness and resolution are filled in from the model database, with "—" where unavailable, without speculation.

Model	Brightness	Resolution

EIKI EK-502XL	—	—
EIKI EK-510UL	—	—
EIKI EK-511WL	—	—

To determine whether models outside the list can be used, please send us photos of the projector nameplate and the existing lens for verification — same-generation platforms often share mounts, but ordering based on model similarity is a risk not worth taking.

Throw Ratios Across Model Series

The same AH-E21010 Standard Zoom mounted on the following series has different nominal throw ratios; selection should be based on the actual series of the projector body.

Model Series	Throw Ratio
—	1.44-2.67:1

4. Three Things to Confirm Before Replacement

• Confirm the projector chip and resolution. Original lenses are designed for specific panel sizes; with a different panel specification, the image circle cannot cover it, resulting in vignetting or edge light loss after installation.
• Calculate the installation distance first. This lens has a nominal throw ratio of 1.44-2.67:1; apply it to your venue dimensions using the table in Section 2. Prime lenses have no margin, and even zoom lenses should leave 10–20 cm at both ends.
• Verify the mount and locking. Original lenses are calibrated to the mount of that series; after installation, you must hear the lock engage. Image skew or soft edges are mostly due to incomplete locking, not a problem with the lens itself.

If unsure, take a photo of the projector nameplate and the existing lens nameplate and send them to us — verification against the actual hardware is the safest approach.
