Precautions

The 5000 Series of projec tor operation is based on a comput er system , not unlik e y our desktop computer . Sinc e c om puter systems are very sensitive to variations in voltage supplied by the AC power source. Over-voltage, under- voltage and transients (or spi k es) can erase data from memory or even c ause components to fail. To protect against these types of problems, power cables shoul d be pr oper ly grounded and one or both of t he following methods should be empl oy ed;

Place the system on a dedicated power circuit. Do not all ow the system to share a circuit with one of the following:

Be sure the lamp and its holder are c ooled before changing lamp or inj ur y to per sonnel

will occur.



The lamp is under great pressure at all times and may explode. To reduce t he ri sk of

personal injur y and/or property damage, when servic ing the projector lamp wear safety glasses and allow the lam p to cool c om pletely.



Be careful not to touc h the exposed surface of the lamp itself. This could impair lamp

performanc e and shorten l am p life.

The lamp inside the lamp module is under pres sure. Do not incinerat e. Ey e pr otection should be worn when working with the lam p to avoid injury from metal particl es.

To avoid the risk of scrat c hing the lens, only clean the lens if absolut ely required. A small amount of dust on the lens will hav e v er y little effect on the pictur e quality. If the lens must be cleaned, use a dry, soft opti c al quality cloth. Rub very gently in a circular motion.



All safety and operating instructi ons should be read before the projector i s operat ed.



The exterior of the pr ojec tor may be kept in good condition by wipi ng it wit h a cl ean, dry ,

sof t cl oth.



For general safet y, the projector should be cleaned i nternally only by an authoriz ed

AmPro service technic ian.



Do not place magneti c equi pm ent on or near the projector.

Software Notice

Once the receiver i s connected to your projector, t ak e care t o plac e it so the remote's infr ar ed si gnal c an r eac h it. There ar e two ways to do this. The best way to position the rec eiv er is so that the infrared signal travels directly from the remote into the receiver. As you use the remote, aim at the red light on the receiver. If your presentation room's configuration pr ev ents positioning the rec eiv er this way, position the r ec eiv er so the i nfrar ed si gnal bounces off a projection screen or wall. Depending on the distanc es i nv olved and the reflective qualities of the screen or wall, bounci ng the inf r ar ed si gnal off a screen or wall may perform just as well.

The remote uses 2 AAA alkaline batteries. To install the batter ies, follow these steps:



Turn the remote upside down wit h its back facing you.



Using your thumb, gently press and slide the battery cover up until the battery

compartment is exposed.



Insert the batt eri es i nto the battery compartment.



Slide the battery cover back into position until it snaps into place.

NOTE: Although you r batteries should last up to 1 year of normal operation, we recommend you purchase a second set of batteries and carry them with you as a back up. Always use alkaline-type batteries in your remote.

Keyboard Specificat ions

The receiver is multi-positional. It can stand up or lay flat on either side. If you are placing it on a table or desktop. It is best to stand t he r ec eiver up to minimize any disrupti on of t he signal by the tabl e or desktop.

When you are mounting or posi tioning the receiver be caref ul not to block the lens from lineof-sight cont ac t wit h the Key boar d. The Keyboard is powerful enough to bounce the infrared (IR) signal off the walls, but obstructions close to the receiver may interf er e.

Indoors, in the absence of IR light sources, operating ranges will be up to 50 feet (15.2 meters), and, under ideal conditions, beyond. Naturally, indivi dual r esul ts will vary depending on how you use your keyboard.

Both the keyboard and m ouse pad use what i s known as “sleep mode”. When nothing is being typed on the keyboard, the IR LED’s and the keyboard proc essor go to “sl eep,” consuming a mere fraction of their normal power requirements, while waiting f or the next key press.

Under normal usage, sever al pages per day, battery life of up to a year will be typical. Again, your results will depend on how you use your k ey boar d.

When it finally com es tim e for batt er y repl ac em ent, y ou will begin to notice a reducti on in range, typified by lost keys at longer distances. Pl ease use only alkaline batteries only.

Throw Distance

Projector Offset

The projector has a wide v ari ety of lenses available, including multiple fixed and z oom s. Refer to Lens Data Tables.

The throw distance i s calculated by using the lens magnification factor times the desir ed image width.

The 5200 has the ability to dynamically scale the incom ing si gnal ( r esol ution) to the full DMD resolution of 1024 x 768. This simply means that all sources can utilize the full resolution capabilit y so image width should be lost. However, if y our signal resolution is not equal to or greater than the DM D resoluti on and y ou do not scale to the full DMD resoluti on, image width and/or size will be smaller the actual screen size.

The projector incor por ates a manual lens shift capability allowing a vertical (up- down) adjustment of the lens without moving the projector.

The maximum offset of the pr ojec tor depends on;

1.) type of lens

2.) image height Refer to the Fixed and Zoom Lens Data T ables.

Character /

Numeric

Commands

Character

Command Table

Commands to the projector ar e two general types. Character c ommands and Numeric commands. Character commands in fact consist of t wo types. S om e of them put the projector into a particular adjustment mode. For example, sending a letter B puts the projector into brightness adjustment mode. Once in that mode, adjustments may be done it two ways. The character + ( plus) and – (mi nus) respect ively incr ease and decrease the parameter. Alternatively, a numeric v alue c an be assigned f or the parameter by following the mode character wit h an integer value, followed by a repeti tion of the mode character. For example, the comm and B75B would set t he bri ghtness to 75% of maximum.

Other commands carry out a single action such as selecting a channel, deleting a channel, etc. Some of these comm ands use a prefixed integer parameter, while others use following integer parameters and/or text strings for channel names. For example, the command 12! Would select channel 12 and I12 13 NYSC would copy channel 12 to channel 13 and giv e the name NTSC to channel 13.

All numeric param eters are integers. A decimal point is neither needed nor recogniz ed. Channel names must consist of upper and/or lower case letters, the digits 0 through 9, the under bar character “ _” and blank s. Num er ic par am eters are ranged checked. For those commands that us a percentage value of 0 to 100, values outside those lim its are accepted and limited to the range of 0 t o 100. For commands that use absolute val ue parameters such as Phase, values outside t he allowed range are simply r ejected. The acceptable range of each parameter i s indi c ated in the Character Command Tables.

Any non-digit c har acter such as carriage return, comm a, blank, tab, etc., terminat es a channel name. For t his reason the command K12 would delete channel 12 but K 12 would be rejected sinc e a blank (non-numeric character ) following the letter K would terminate the search for the channel nam e par am eter.

Consider the foll owing;



Has the system or confi gur ation ever worked? If so, what changed?



Is the error c ondition reproducible or r andom ?



Is the error specif ic to a particular system, configuration, or application?



What particular hardware or firmware i s i nv olv ed?



Are any non-W indows 95 device drivers or TSRs loaded?



Does the order by which drives or applicati on star t-up make a difference?

Does the error sti ll occur with Safe Mode, or Saf e Mode w/Network Support?



For additional informati on r elev ant t o Windows® 95 configuration and operat ion,

please refer to the ref er enc e m aterial included with your system.



Step 1. If desired, connec t an external monitor to the VGA “out ” port



The VGA “out “ port connec tor is located on the PC card cage. Open the f r ont

access door. The VGA “out” por t is in the XXX slot from the right as viewed from the front, table mounted.



Step 2. Apply main AC to the projec tor and toggle the main AC switch to the “on” position.



Monitor the boot sequence.



The normal boot-up sequence for the ALICE projector is as f ollows:



The AmPr o 5200 follows an initial “power-up” sequences from the time the main AC

is toggled “on” to the tim e an im age is di spl ay ed.



With the two IR Receivers connected, pl ug the main power cord into the receptacle.

Toggle the main AC switch t o the “on” posi tion. The projector will automatically start, first displaying the custom Windows boot-up screen, and then the Scan Disk operation will be ev ok ed.



Once the Scan Disk operation has complet ed, t he pr ojec tor will automatically start

the ALICEXGA program and all associat ed pr ogr ams.



Once all programs have booted, an automati c search for an external source will

start. If an external source is present, the proj ec tor will auto-select or auto-setup t he source. If no external source is present, the proj ec tor will switch to the internal graphic channel .
