Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Instructions to the user :

if this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, the user may try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures :

- Re-orientation of the receiving antenna for the radio or television.

- Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver.

- Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that the equipment and receiver are on different branch circuits.  Fasten cables connectors to the equipment by mounting screws.

P ACKAGING AND DIMENSIONS

Projector Packaging

Way of Packaging

The projector is packed in a carton box. To provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam. the package is the secured with banding and fastening clips.

To unpack

First release the fastening clips and remove the banding. Handle as shown in the drawing.

Take the projector out of its shipping carton and place it on a table.

Hint

Save the original shipping carton and packing material, they will be necessary if you ever have to ship your projector. For maximum protection, repack your projector as it was originally packed at the factory.

Installation Guidelines

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Safety warning

Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions

Installation Guidelines

Ambient Temperature Conditions

Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to the optimum use of the projection system. Max. ambient temperature : 40 °C or 104 °F Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C or 32 °F The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F).

Environment

Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not excessive.

What about ambient light ?

The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and floor are of non-reflecting material. The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level is also important. Too much ambient light will ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to the point where there is just sufficient light to read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that interference with the screen is minimal.

Which screen type?

There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear projection applications.

Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain. The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10) or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle.

For more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier.

What image size? How big should the image be?

The projector is designed for projecting an image size (video) from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with a aspect ratio of 5 to 4.

How to install the lens?

Installation of the lens for a standard SIM projector. The installation of the scheimphlug lens is described in the corresponding lens kit.

1. Take the lens out of its packing material.

2. Open the lens cover of the projector by pivoting it up and take it off. image 1

3. Loosen the fixing screws (B) of the motor part (A) and flip the motor part up. image 2

4. Open both lens locks (C) by pulling them backwards (first, lift up a little before pulling backwards). image 2

5. Put the lens on the lens holder.

6. Fix the lens by closing the both locks (C) until they are secured. image 3

7. Flip the motor part back (A) (if a motorized lens is installed, be sure the teeth match the tooth profile (D) of the lens)

and secure with the fixing screws (B). image 3

8. Re-install the lens cover. image 4

Cleaning the Lens

To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have developed recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.

A Toraysee

cloth is included with the lens kit.

Proceed as follows :

1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee

cloth.

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction. Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.

3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.

4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.

5. Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth.

6. Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth. Order number for a new Toraysee

Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this Toraysee

cloth : R379058.

Battery installation in the RCU.

Inserting the Batteries.

Two batteries are packed together with the RCU. Before using your RCU, install first these batteries. 1 Remove the battery cover on the backside by pushing the handle a little towards the bottom of the RCU.

2 Lift up the top side of the cover at the same time. 3 Insert the batteries as indicated in the RCU. 4 Put the battery cover on its place.

How to replace the batteries in the RCU ?

To replace the batteries : 1 Remove the battery cover on the backside by pushing the handle a little towards the bottom of the RCU.

2 Lift up the top side of the cover at the same time. 3 Push on the + side of the battery towards the - side 4 Lift up the battery at the same time. 5 Repeat for the second battery. 6 Insert the batteries as indicated in the RCU (battery type AA or LR6 or equivalent). 7 Put the battery cover on its place.

Note

Note, only important if more than one projector is installed in the room :

1. the common address can be zero (0) or one (1). The standard RCU are setup for common address zero. To change the common address of the RCU, contact a BARCO service center. If it is necessary to program the projector address into the RCU, see chapter 'Controlling'.

2. projector address has to be reprogrammed everytime the battery is changed, the RCU will always switch to the default address.
