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 secured with banding and fastening clips.
To unpack
1. R elease the fastening clips.
2. R emov e the banding. Handle as shown in the drawing. (image 1-1)
3. Take the projector out of its shipping carton and place it on a table.

Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions.
2.1 Installation guidelines
Ambient Temperature Conditions.
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector plac ement and type of screen to use are critical to
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 40
Min. ambient tem perature : 0
The projector will n ot operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0
Storage temperature: -35
C or 104 F
Cor32 F
C- 40 Cor32F-104 F).
Cto+65C (-25.6 F to 149 F)
Humidity Conditions
Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing
Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing
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 c eiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
Environment condition check
A projector mus t always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this c ontamination removed pr ior to it reac hing the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or s hield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then m easures to relocate the projector to a clean air env ironment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on a proj
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants w ill culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be
non-effective and impracticable. Dam
may deem the warranty null a nd void. In such a case the client shall be held solely r esponsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the

ectors optics as these will degrade optical coatings and d amage sensitive optoelectronic
age of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures warranty and
projector. The m anufacture reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
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. Toomuch ambient light w ill ‘wash out’ of the projected image. Thisappears as less contrast between the darkest

and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes m ore im portant. 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 minima l.
Which screen type ?
There are two major categories of screens used for pr ojection equipment. Thoseused 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 sc reens 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 m ore information
about screens, contact your local screen supplier. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle.
Whatimagesize? Howbigshouldtheimagebe?
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.
2.2 Configuration
Which configuration can be used ?
The projector can be installed to project images in four different configurations :
• Front/table
• Rear/table
• Front/ceiling
• Rear/ceiling

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 mat erial from
the lens by blowing it off w ith clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use an y liquid to clean t he lenses.

Howtocleanthelens?
Proceed as follow :
1. A lways wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee
2. A lways wipe lenses in a single direction.
Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
3. D o not leave c leaning cloth in either an open room or lab coa t 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.
Do not use fabric softener when w ashing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets wh en drying the cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.
Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this TorayseeTMcloth.

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 R CU, contact a BARCO service center. If it is necessary to program the
projector address into the RCU, see chapter ’Getting Started’.
Projector address has to be reprogramm ed every time the battery is changed, the RCU will always switch to
the default address.

Before switching off, disconn ect first the mouse cable.
3.6.4 Network Connection
What can be done ?
When the optional network connection is installed, the pro jector can be connected to a LA N (local area network) (ethernet). Once
installed and con nected to the LAN, users are capable of accessing the projector from any location, inside or outside their company
network from a standard web browser. The projector acts as web server and g enerates a web side with all functions of the projector
listed. Via an internet explorer 4.0 or higher, or a Netscape communicator, the user can insert the correct IP-address of the projector
and access the webpages. Once the webside is accessed, it is possible to check and manipulate all the projector settings. Remote
diagnostics, control and monitoring of the projector can then become a daily and very simple operation. The network connectivity
permits to detect potential errors and consequently impr ove the time to servicing. For the complete documentation about the use of
the network connection, consult append ix .
3.7 Audio connections
What is available ?
Three audio inputs and one audio output are available. Each audio input can be associated with an input source using the control
software of the projector. e.g. source 1 can be loc ked with audio input B .
How to lock an audio input ?
Locking an audio input to a source input :
1. P ress ENTER to start up the adjustment mode.
2. P ress the cursor key ↑ or ↓ to select R andom Access.
3. P ress ENTER to display the Random Access menu.
4. P ress the cursor key ↑ or ↓ to select Audio Tuning.
