1-25975039 BARCOVISION 508 120198
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 non-reflecting,
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.

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 with :
- the RCU for addresses between 0 and 9.
- Computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for
addresses between 0 and 255.
Note : A projector will respond to an RCU set to an address of '0'
regardless of what address is set in the projector itself.
c. Using the RCU.
Before using the 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.
How to display a projector address?
Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
