WORDING FOR CLASS I EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKS AND LABELS

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which
is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS
1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover
omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin
face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points
in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved
extension lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent person,
preferably a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having
first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

Caution

Turn off the power of both the projector and computer before connecting.
Connect the computer to the control terminal of the projector using an appropriate cable.
Refer to the instruction manual of each device before connecting.

(1) Connect the projector and the mouse terminal of the computer using an appropriate cable, while the

projector and the computer are turned off.

(2) Turn the power of the projector on and press the STANDBY/ON switch. The indicator will light.

(The ON indicator will light up orange.).

(3) Press the INPUT of the projector or RGB 1/2 button of the remote control transmitter and select the

ENGLISHENGLISH

The procedure of getting the Projector status

(1)Computer sends the command '20H'+'yyH' to Projector.
(2)Projector sends the reply command '1xH'+'yyH'+data bytes.

The procedure of setting the Projector status

(1)Computer sends the command '3xH'+'yyH'+data bytes.
(2)Projector changes its status.
(3)Projector sends the reply command '1xH'+'yyH'+data bytes which indicate status.

The procedure of default setting the Projector status

(1)Computer sends the command '40H'+'yyH'
(2)Projector changes it's status to default setting.
(3)Projector sends the reply command '1xH'+'yyH'+data bytes which indicate default.

Connection to the control signal terminal (continued)

Caution

If projector replies '4Dh', (before command code, etc.) computer ignores '4Dh'

Caution

The example of command error

When the projector cannot accept command from PC, error code '00H'+'yyH' is sent back.
(in a case when command code '2xH', '3xH' or '4xH'+'yyH'+data is sent from PC to projector)

The example of data error

When the projector cannot accept command from PC, error code with data '00H'+'yyH'+data is sent back as
it is. (in a case when command code '2xH', '3xH' or '4xH'+'yyH'+data is sent from PC to projector)
When data is longer than required data code length, projector ignores excess data code.
When data is shorter than required data code length, projector sends back error code shown above.

The example of framing error

After setting to 1200bps 7N1, projector sends error code '70H'+'70H' up to 10 times at intervals of 1 second
until any answer is received. When projector receives framing error code ('70H'+'70H'),
'12H'+'03H'+'03H'+'10H' is sent with 1200 bps 7N1.

The interval of command bytes and data bytes

After command code '2xH', '3xH' or '4xH' is sent from PC, if command or data is not sent within 500ms,
projector sends back error command '70H'+70H'. If no answer is sent within 1 second from that time,
framing error is assumed.

Caution

•The interval of command bytes and data bytes must be over 1mS and under 500mS. If it is
under 1mS, it may be treated as a framing error.

•After projector has sent back answer code, when next command is to be sent from PC, allow
for an interval of 40ms or more between answer code and other code.

•(3) data bytes is not always same as (1) data bytes. If projector cannot realize the status of (1)
data bytes, projector sets the proper status and replies this new setting data bytes or projector
replies the error reply '0xH'+'yyH'+data bytes same as (1).

•When only power control (POWER COMMAND) is performed, it takes about 2~80 seconds
between sending set code and receiving answering code.

1. How to replace lamp

Caution

•

For disposal of used lamp, treat according to the instruction of community authorities.

• Since the lamp is made of glass, do not apply shock to it and do not scratch it.

• Do not use old lamp. This could also cause

(explosive sound is heard), disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet and ask your dealer to
replace lamp. The lamp is covered by a front glass
and is in an air-tight structure, but, in rare cases,
the reflector and the inside of the projector may be
damaged by scattered broken pieces of glass, and
broken pieces could cause injury when being handled.

• Do not insert your hand into the box after the lamp is removed.
(There are optical parts inside. If touched by hand, it may result in color unevenness, etc.)

Caution

LAMP indicator will light when the lamp becomes too hot. Turn off the power and let the
projector cool for 60 minutes. Turn on. If LAMP indicator still lights up red, contact your
dealer.
