COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS NEAR PROJECTOR !

BARCO large screen projection products are designed and manufactured to
meet the most stringent safety regulations. This projector radiates heat on
its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation,
which is both normal and safe.
Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this
projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting
in a fire. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an exclusion
zone around all external surfaces of the projector whereby no flammable or
combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less
than 10 cm (4) for BARCO Retro Projectors and not less than 40 cm (16)
for all other BARCO projectors. Do not cover the projector with any material
while the projector is in operation.
Keep flammable and combustible materials away from the projector at all
times. Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of
ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the projector to rain or
excessive moisture. In the event of fire, use sand,
extinguishers; never use water on an electrical fire.
Always have service performed on this projector by authorized BARCO
service personnel. Always insist on genuine BARCO replacement parts.
Never use non-BARCO replacement parts as they may degrade the safety
of this projector.

This product complies to standards set by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., Canadian

Standards Association, and meets all applicable U.S. / Canadian and European

government regulations or directives.

1. Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The product may fall, causing serious damage to it.

2. Do not use this equipment near water.

3. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are

provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
The projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure
unless proper ventilation is provided.

On cleaning

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.

- To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a

soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents,
such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since these will
damage the cabinet.

- To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the
projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective
coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the
lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent
solution, or thinner.

On repacking

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 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.

Controlling

Projector address

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 controlled now:

- 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.

The RCU is default programmed with address 0, 'zero address'. With that 'zero address' programmed into the RCU, every projector, without
exception will listen to the commands given by this RCU. If it is necessary to control a specific projector, than enter the projector address into
the RCU (only when that address is between 0 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.

Displaying a Projector Address.

Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil. The projector's address will be
displayed in a 'Text box'. This text box disappears after a few seconds.

To continue using the RCU with that specific address, it is necessary to enter the same address with
the digit buttons (address between 0 and 9) within 5 seconds after pushing the address key. For
example : if the Address key displays projector address 003, then press "3" digit button on the RCU
to set the RCU's address to match the projector's address. Do not press 003 digits. This will address
the remote control to '0' and control all projectors in the room.
If the address is not entered within 5 seconds, the RCU returns to its default address (zero address)
and control all projectors in the room.

How to program an address into the RCU?

Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil and enter the address with the digit
buttons within 5 seconds after pushing the address key. That address can be any digit between 0
and 9.

Adjustment Blocks and Source Numbers 90-99

A

ADJUSTMENT BLOCKS AND SOURCE
NUMBERS 90 - 99

Adjustment Blocks (memory blocks)

As the projector is digitally controlled, all geometry and convergence adjustments are stored in the projectors memory as numeric values.
These numeric values are used to control digital potentiometers which in turn, control the projector. Each source connected to the
projector has a unique set of adjustment data which is automatically downloaded into the projectors digital potentiometers once the
source has been selected. This set of adjustment data is referred to as an adjustment block.

An adjustment table is automatically created for a source when the source is first connected to the projector and the Adjustment mode
is entered. If other sources have already been connected to the projector and geometry and convergence adjustments have been
performed on these sources, the projector will use Linear Digital Interpolation to create a new block for the new source. This block
will provide an initial set of adjustments for the new source that have been calculated by the projector from previous experience.

The projectors memory has the capacity to store 32 adjustment blocks. The adjustment block consists of two parts, the block header
and the data representing the values for all adjustments (eg. Convergence and Geometry) in the projector for the source the block
corresponds to. The block header contains the basic characteristics of the source and the projector configuration used to display
the source.

Block Header example of block header

Block Number 01
Source Number 01
Horizontal Frequency 15.6 kHz
Vertical Frequency 50 Hz
Input Type video
Scan Switch Configuration Front/Ceiling

The data representing the various adjustments for the source follows the block header.

Source numbers 90 - 99

Source numbers 90 - 99 do not correspond to physical inputs
to the projector or RCVDS. They are used to assign an
additional adjustment block to a source. This additional adjust­ment block may contain different geometry and convergence
settings, sync fast/slow positions and enhanced blue on/off
settings. The relationship between source numbers 0 - 9 and
90 - 99 (projector with RCVDS) or 1 - 5 and 91 - 95 (stand­alone projector) is shown in the diagram below.

The alternate adjustment block for sources 0 - 9 (projector with
RCVDS) or 1 - 5 (stand-alone projector) is activated by selecting the
corresponding source number 0 - 9 (projector with RCVDS) or 1 - 5
(stand-alone projector). Once this source number is selected, the
alternate block of adjustment data is in use and may be modified via
the adjust mode of the projector. The alternate adjustment block is
automatically stored.

source input 0

source input 1

source input 2

source input 9

2. Select the corresponding source number between 90 and 99. The
adjustment block for the source number between 0 and 9 is copied
to the corresponding source number between 90 and 99.

3. Enter the adjust mode and make any desired changes (geometry,
convergence, sync fast/slow, enhanced blue on/off) to the second
