Introduction
1.1 Product
Overview
GraphXMASTER RPMS-D100U/UF, CS50-D100U and CS70-D100U/UF products
are based on single chip DLP(Digital Light Processing) technology by Texas
Instruments with SXGA resolution.
The RPMS-D100U/UF (Rear Pr o ject ion
Module) is a dual lamp projector that has
been specifically designed for rear screen
projection applications. This purposebuilt projector is designed with a flexible
mounting base so that it can be fitted
with various mounting systems. It can
also be configured for 0 degree or 90
degree projection. This flexibility makes the RPMS suitable for nearly any
application. Another feature of the RPMS is the built in 6-axis adjustment
mechanism, which allows for precise geometric alignment with the screen – an
important detail for rear screen tiling applications.
The CS50-D100U & CS70-D100U/UF display cubes are designed to suit many
different applications and are an ideal choice for rea r pro ject ion tiled dis play walls in
control rooms and 24/7 monitoring applications. They provide uniform brightness
and ultimate color matching between screens to create impressive clear, sharp,
seamless images.

Lamp operation mode, the output from both lamps is directed to a 90° prism. Due to
the placement of the prism, in relation to the lamps, only half of the lamps output is
reflected and the light that doesn’t fa ll inc iden t on the prism is passed on to the
parabolic reflectors inside each of the lamp modules. After one pass around the
system, the light joins the rest of the light that has been reflected off of the prism and
into the focusing lenses. The combined light is then passed through the integrator and
presented to a spinning color wheel where it is sequentially filtered into its RGB
color primaries and presented to the single DMD (in sequence). Reflected light
from the DMD chip then passes through the projection lens and is displayed on a
screen for viewing.
In Single Lamp operation mode, light is passed through the system in the same
manner, but only one lamp is on and light output is reduced by half.
NOTE: The RPMS and CS70 include a four-segment color wheel (red, green, blue
and white). The CS50 includes a six-segment color wheel without a white segment
(red, green, blue, red, green, blue).

You can use one or more external Marquee
Signal Switchers or a third party
switcher in order to significantly increase the number of sources you can select. If
you are using a Marquee
INPUT 1 and connect an RS-232 serial communication cable between the switcher and
the projector serial port labeled
Signal Switcher, connect the switcher’s RGB output to
SWITCHER (see Figure 2.12). The switcher
communication link (permanently set at 9600 baud) enables you to access inputs
connected to the switcher in the same manner as those connected directly to the
projector. For most other third-party switchers, connect and access sources according
to the documentation provided with that switcher. Use high quality shielded cables.
NOTE: Make sure any Marquee
projector is set as “Switcher #1”. If it is not, unplug the switcher and turn the
thumbwheel to “1” before plugging back in and connecting to the projector and/or
network.

If you are using more than one Marquee Signal Switcher, daisy-chain the RS-232
switcher inputs/outputs together to form a complete network of inputs accessible
from the projector (you can network up to 9 switchers), and connect Switcher #1 to
the projector as shown in Figure 2.12. In addition, connect the RGB output from each
switcher to its matching slot on switcher #1–for example, connect the RGB output
from switcher #2 to slot #2 on switcher #1, and the RGB output from switcher #3 to
slot #3 on switcher #1. Note that slots used in this manner on switcher #1 are no
longer recognized as inputs to the projector–if you select a slot location that is
connected to another switcher’s RGB output, the projector will display the “no input
signal” error message.
Multiple projectors can be connected via the serial port inputs on the input panel for

Plug the projector’s line cord into the AC receptacle accessible from the rear of the
projector in the bottom left corner of the Dual Lamp Module (DLM). Then plug the
3-pronged end of the line cord into a grounded AC outlet. Input voltage to D100U
and D100UF models must be capable of 100-240 VAC. Use the proper power
source and the rated line cord provided (North America only). See Section 5,
Specifications for all power requirements.

Protocol
WARNING
Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are
not within the specified voltage and power range.
Caution: Once the projector is powered down, wait approximately 10 minutes to
allow the lamps to cool sufficiently befo re unplugging the projector from the AC
outlet.
At manufacture every keypad is assigned “A” as its default protocol, which is simply
a collection of settings that determine how the keypad operates. Once assigned, this
protocol remains in effect until it is changed—that is, the keypad will operate as it
currently does until you change its protocol.
Protocols are most useful for multiple-projector applications. For example, you might
want to change a keypad protocol if you are working with two projectors and two
remote keypads in the same room and need to control each projector independently
(Figure 2.16). When Keypad A has a different protocol than Keypad B, each keypad
communicates only with the projector having a matching protocol. Or, if you have a
network of two or more projectors connected together via RS-232 serial ports, you
may want only certain projectors to respond to a wired keypad, thus you can use
different protocols to limit r espons es.
NOTE: Matching the protocol on the projector to that of a keypad is done through a
setting in the Communications menu. See menu descriptions for further information
on how to change the projector's infrared sensor (rear and front) protocol.
A protocol for either type of remote keypad — IR or wired — can be changed. A
remote can be changed, manually by "hard-wiring" new jumper settings inside the
keypad so that they remain in effect until you change the hard wiring. Note that a
hard-wired protocol can be temporarily overridden by the software protocol change,

3.2 Projector
Basics
This section provides a general overview of the projector and a complete description
of the menu system.
The projector’s modular architecture is best suited for control room and mission
critical environments where ease of servicing is a must and down time must be kept
to a minimum. A brief description of each module has been provided in this section.
Knowing your projector will help you in times where troubleshooting is necessary.
Figure 3.1. Identifying Projector Modules
Projector Head Module (PHM)
The PHM module is the centermost module of the projector. It contains the
projection lens (0.76:1 or 1.25:1), IR sensor, color wheel, DMD and other optical
components. It also provides the electrical interfaces required to drive these
components.
The PHM is connected to the adjacent DLM module. As an assembly, the two
modules are mounted to the 6-axis adjustment mechanism. With a quick changeover
in mounting brackets the PHM can be removed, rotated 90°, and re-mounted for rear
screen projection applications where a first surface optical mirror is used.
Dual Lamp Module (DLM)
The DLM connects to the adjacent PHM module, by a specially designed coupling
that allows rotation of the PHM module only This module houses the two 100W
lamps, two lamp drivers, a 390V high voltage power supply (HVPS) and cooling
fans.

The DLM is designed to remain in a horizontal position and does not get rotated
RPMS, CS50 & CS70-D100U/UF User’s Manual 3-1
OPERATION
Electronics Module (EM)
The EM module contains the main electronics and input connectors of the projector.
Your projector model identifies which type of EM you have D100U or D100UF.
Main Input Panel
All source connections are made to the main input panel. NOTE: The
connectors located on the input panel vary between models. See Section 2.
Auxiliary Fan Connector
A connector exists on the side of the EM and can be used to connect a
separate cooling fan – useful in applications where the projector is mounted
within the confines of an enclosure and where airflow is required.
Refer to Appendix D for pinout information.
Status and Power LEDs
Two LEDs are located in the lower right corner of the main input panel,
which indicates projector “Status” (top) and “Power” (bottom). During
normal operation, the “Power” light is steady green and the “Status” light
flashes green each time a key is pressed on the keypad or the projector
receives a serial communication command.
6-Axis Adjuster
The projector provides the ability of modifying the geometry of a displayed image
using the uniquely designed 6-Axis adjustment mechanism. This mechanism is
shipped from the factory in a nominal position and can be adjusted using a 3/16” ball
driver. All adjustments made to the adjuster can be “locked” into place by tightening
the lock screws and setscrews. Instructions and tools required to adjust the 6-axis can
be found in the User’s Kit.

RPMS, CS50 & CS70-D100U/UF User’s Manual
3.3 Using the
Keypad
OPERATION
The projector is controlled via an IR remote keypad. The
keypad accesses various menus in which settings can be
changed and saved into memory (called channels). There
are 99 channels in which you can store customized settings
for various sources.
The IR remote keypad provided in the User’s Kit provides
the user with wireless control of the projector of up to 100
feet away. The keypad is operated by 4AA batteries, which
require periodic replacement (Section 4).
The most effective method of operating the projector is by
facing and pointing the keypad directly at the screen.
There is only one IR sensor that picks up the transmissions
of the keypad and it is located just below the lens. It is
important to keep the transmission path clear because any
obstruction will limit if not prohibit transmission of
commands.
IR Remote Keypad '
Wired Remote '
—OPTIONAL—
The IR Remote Keypad controls the projector by way of
wireless communications from a battery-powered infrared
(IR) transmitter. Use the IR remote keypad the same way
you would use a remote keypad supplied with a TV or
VCR. When making key presses, point the keypad directly
at the center of the screen. The IR sensor, responsible for
detecting signal and relaying commands for internal
processing, is located just below the projection lens on the
PHM.
The wired remote keypad connects to the 3-pin XLR jack via a 25 ft. cable. It is
recommended when:

If you power up in Single Lamp mode with a failed lamp, the projector will
automatically try re-striking it up to 3 times (after the initial attempt) with a 30
second wait in between each attempt. This could lead to a 2-minute wait before the
lamp turns on or is declared, “failed to strike”. If this occurs, the projector continues
powering on by trying to turn on the other lamp. The same happens when you power
up in Dual Lamp mode and one lamp fails to turn on. The projector tries re-striking
the lamp that did not turn on up to 3 times before it reverts to the single lamp mode of
operation for the lamp that is on. In either case, there is no indication by the LEDs
that anything is occurring. Any key that is pressed during this time is ignored, except

NOTES: 1) It is recommended that you wait at least 10 minutes after powering down
the projector and before unplugging it from the power outlet. Th e cooling fans in t he
projector DO NOT automatically turn off when the lamp is cool. This wait period
gives the lamp enough time to cool before unplugging the projector.

conveniently use a wide variety of customized setups rather than having to repeatedly
re-configure the projector for different presentations. Each physical source (i.e.,
input) can have several different channels associated with it.

CHANNEL - A channel is a collection of measurements, locations and settings that
tailor a display to your specific needs. Since source types and applications can vary
greatly, you will likely want to adjust and define a wide variety of parameters, such
as brightness, contrast, size, etc., in order to customize and optimize the display
coming from a particular source. For example, the display settings you choose for a
VCR source may be very different from those you choose for a high resolution
computer source, or one signal may simply vary from another signal used earlier
through the same input location. Once you have adjusted a display parameter, such as
pixel tracking or contrast, all current settings are collectively stored in the projector's

memory as a unique 2-digit channel, such as
channels available for the same input, any of which can be selected by using the
