This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards
EN60950, UL 1950 and CSA C22.2 No.950, which are the safety standards of information
technology equipment including electrical business equipment.
These safety standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components,
materials and isolation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and
energy hazard, and having access to live parts.
Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation
levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk of
fire.
Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the user even
when the equipment's normal operation fails.
Installation Instructions
Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly, and retain it for future
reference.
Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified BARCO personnel or
by authorized service dealers.

Installation Setup
Charging the batteries
The batteries are trickle charged whenever the XLR connection with a powered projector is made
or when the charger is connected.
Charging is required whenever the batteries are low, the status (ACT/LOW) of the batteries can
be seen on the main menu (menu 1) or in the diagnosis menu (see " Installation Settings ").
remark: The delivered batteries are not charged.
The batteries may only be used after being charged, it takes about 30 hours to fully
charge the batteries.

Performing Remote Control of the projector
The connection of the Rugged Remote Control to a projector uses a standard twisted pair cable
with XLR connectors at each extremity (not supplied).
The baudrate is fixed at 57600 baud.
Image 1 gives an example of a Remote Control connected to a G5 SLM Projector.

How to Connect
1. Plug the cable in the Remote connector labeled CTRL3 "Two way hardwired remote".
2. Plug the other extremity in the projector connector with the same label.
Remark: In case of a 6000 series LCD projector XLR remote control is not implemeted.
Refer to "RS232RS422 communication" (page 20) to control the projector.

Lamp Read Mode
Reading the Lamp
The Lamp Read Mode requires a connection between the lamp unit and the Remote Control
using the supplied lamp cable (Z34980143).
Reading the lamp is only possible for BARCO ELM and SLM projectors.
How to Connect
1. Plug the cable in the remote control connector labeled CTRL4 "Lamp Info Module".
2. Plug the other extremity in the Lamp Unit connector.
WARNING
To avoid burns always let cool down the lamp before handling it .

RS232/422 Communication
The Remote Control allows RS232/422 serial mode communication with the projector.
This is used for software upgrade of the Rugged Remote Control or to perform a remote control
of the projector (instead of using the CTRL3 Two way hardwired remote).
Different baudrate(baud)settings:
- 9600
- 19200
- 38400
- 57600
- 115200

B
See 'Menu Setup' for setting procedure.
To select the different serial modes use switch B (image 1).
RS232/422 remote control
The connection needs the supplied male/male SUBD9 adapter A (image 2) to be placed between
the Remote Control and the projector
The RS232/422 port is always enabled, this makes software upgrading always possible.
For software download follow next procedure:
1 Turn OFF the Remote Control with the main switch
2 Open the battery compartiment (see procedure page 14 )
3 Put switch C (image 2) located in the battery compartiment in the 'DOWNLOAD' position (right
position) to enable downloading via the RS232 port
4 Connect the Remote with your PC using a standard serial cable
5 Turn the Remote on (main switch) and perfom the download
6 Put switch C back in the 'Normal' position and close the battery compartiment
7 Reset (OFF - ON with main switch) the remote control

RF Mode
In the RF Mode the Wireless Remote Control makes it possible to perform an RF communication
with the projector through the Wireless base.
This is only possible with the Wireless Rugged Remote Control ('General lnformation' page 8) .
How to connect
The connection between the Wireless base and the projector uses a standard serial cable.
The Wireless Rugged Remote can communicate with one or more projectors, this can be done in
two ways:
- One Remote communicates with different projectors each of them using a base (image 1)
- The Remote communicates with different projectors connected in a loop through configuration,
this configurarion uses one base (image 2).
The RF link runs at a fixed baudrate of 57600.
The supply of the base is done through its 'COMM PORT' using a standard serial cable.

Configuration Setup
To perform an RF communication following parameters have to be set (see page 29):
RF address
This is a selection of an RF channel for the wireless link.
Any number between 0 and 63 may be chosen.
In the case of multiple wireless links (Image 1 on previous page) each wireless base must have
its own RF address.
Do not uses different receivers with the same address.
Frequency band
Sets the frequency band according to the regulations of the country you are working in.
US/EUROPE: Limits the frequency band according to FCC and ETSI regulations.
FRANCE: Limits the frequency band according to French regulations.
SPAIN: Limits the frequency band according to Spanish regulations.
JAPAN: Limits the frequency band to Japanese regulations.
CANADA: Limits the frequency band to Canadian regulations.
Synchronize base
Downloads the RF address and the Frequency band into the wireless base.
The RF address and the frequency band of the remote and the wireless base have to be the
same in order to have a communication link.
To perform the download the remote has to be connected to the wireless base using a standard
serial cable.
The download is performed through the RS232 communication port.
