removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials
and risk of electric shock!

1-2 5975688 BARCOVISION 1609S 131097

Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come
in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For maximum
protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.

On illumination

In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is
essential that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen
be kept to an absolute minimum.

When installing the projector and screen, care must be taken to avoid
exposure to ambient light directly on the screen. Avoid adverse
illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting
fixtures.

The use of controlled ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot
light or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination.
Where possible, care should also be taken to ensure that the floors
and walls of the room in which the projector is to be installed are non­reflecting, dark surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and
diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of the
projected image on the screen.

Start up with full white image.

The next menu will be displayed for 30 seconds.

a. Start up with warm up period.

If no action is taken, a white image will be displayed for 20 minutes.
This white image will be shifted on the faceplate of the CRT to avoid a CRT burn in.
During this warm up period, it is possible to interrupt this white image projection by
pressing the EXIT key. The previous menu will be repeated for another 30 seconds
but the remaining time will be indicated.
If EXIT is pressed, the remaining warm up period will be shipped.

During the warm up period, every 30 seconds a text box with the remaining time will
be displayed on the screen for 2 seconds. This text box will be displayed every time
on another place.

If another key, different from EXIT, is pressed, a text box with following text will be
displayed :
Please use <EXIT> to leave this procedure.

b. Start up without warm up period.

If the EXIT key is pressed, the warm up period will be skipped and the projector is
immediately ready for use.

Warning : skipping this warm up procedure can reduce the initial picture
quality of the projected image.

Controlling

The BARCOVISION 1609s can be controlled with

a. the RCU
b. the hardwired RCU (cable not included)
c. the built-in RCU (local keypad)

The procedure and results of controlling the projector with either of
these RCU options is essentially the same.

How to use your RCU

a) Point the front of the RCU towards the reflective screen surface

c) RCU used in a hardwired configuration.

Plug one end of the remote cable in the connector on the bottom of
the RCU and the second side in the connector in the rear panel of the
projector labelled 'REMOTE'.

d) Built-in RCU (local keypad)

To gain access to the built-in RCU, see paragraph 'The local keypad'

Projector Address

b) Point the front of the RCU towards one of the IR sensors in the
projector.

When using the wireless remote control, make sure you are within the
effective operating distance (30m, 100ft in a straight line). The
remote control unit will not function properly if strong light strikes the
sensor window or if there are obstacles between the remote control
unit and the projector's IR sensor.
IR Receiver Locations on the Projector:

a. Software set up of the projector address.

See 'Change Projector Address' in chapter 'Service Mode'.
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255
which is set in the Service mode. Only projectors with addresses
between 0 and 9 can be controlled with the RCU.

b. How to control the projector.

The projector's address may be set to any value between 0 and 255.
When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now with :

- the RCU for addresses between 1 and 9.

- computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for
addresses between 0 and 255.

Note : a projector will respond to a RCU set to an address of '0'
regardless of what address is set in the projector itself. Address "0"
is therefore a universal address.

c. Using your RCU.

Before using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the projector address
into the RCU (only when that address is between 1 and 9). The
projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific
RCU.
When address 0, 'zero address' is programmed into the RCU, every
projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by this
RCU.
