Packaging

OVERVIEW

LBV00063; Revision A - 01/02/2000

The safety instructions provided in this manual are to ensure the long life of your
projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all
warnings.

Fire and Shock Precautions

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent
potentially dangerous concentrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your
projector. Allow at least 20cm (8”) of space between your projector and a wall.
Allow at least 50cm (20”) of space between the ventilation duct outlet and object.

Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does
happen, switch off and unplug the mains supply immediately. Do not operate the
projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.

Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector.

Lamp Precautions

Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurised environment, there is a small risk of
explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in
proper working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended 1500
hours, the risk of explosion increases.

The projector has a warning system that displays the following message when you
reach 1500 hours of operation - Lamp Running Time is Over 1500 Hours!!. When
you see this message please contact your Digital Projection dealer for a
replacement lamp.

gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been
exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immediately and seek
immediate medical attention. Do not rub your eyes as this could cause
serious injury.

WARNING: Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to
your eyes could result.

CAUTION: The high pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

Power Supply

The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 1.0kW 100-120VAC /

1.5kW 200-240VAC 50/60Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement
before attempting to use your projector.

Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can
cause electric shock or fire.

Running the power cord and the RGB cable close to each other can cause beat
noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat noise is not generated.

If the projector is not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug
from the power outlet. Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under the
following circumstances, doing so may cause damage to the projector:

a) Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the POWER

indicator has not changed to a steady amber glow).

b) Immediately after the lamp has been switched off. After the projector is turned

off with the POWER OFF button the cooling fan continues to operate for 3
minutes while the Two Digit INDICATOR "--" flashes.

c) While the hour glass icon or the message ‘Please wait a litttle’ is being displayed.

Installation Advice

The projector should be placed on a flat, level surface and in a dry area free from
dust and moisture. Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat
radiating appliances. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam could harm
internal components.

The projector should always be handled with care. Dropping or jarring the projector
could damage internal components.

If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling do not attempt to install the
projector yourself. The projector must be installed in accordance with any local
building codes by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and
reduce the risk of bodily injury.

connection should be attached to the external equipment such as PC. The OUT
connection provides for daisy-chaining multiple projectors and operating them with
the same external equipment. To daisy-chain projectors, connect the IN terminal of
the second projector to the OUT connection of the first projector. A third projector
would be connected to the second projector in the same manner and the procedure
would be repeated until all the projectors are connected.

3 - REMOTE 1

This Mini D-Sub 15 pin terminal allows external control of the projector from either
an ISS-6020 switcher or from an external control source. When the switcher is used,
connect to the REMOTE 1 terminal on the back of the switcher.

4 - REMOTE 2

The IN connector allows direct connection of the remote control unit. The OUT
connector is used for daisy-chaining multiple projectors and operating them with the
same remote control.

5 - INPUT 1 (RGB1) and INPUT 2 (RGB2)

Inputs with BNC terminals for connection of R, G, B, H and V outputs of external
equipment such as a switcher. If using a source with combined sync output, connect
it to the H/V terminal. The R, G, B terminals can also be used to connect component
video outputs (Y/Cb/Cr) of external equipment.

6 - INPUT 4 (Component (YCrCb))

Inputs with RCA terminals for component video outputs (Y/Cb/Cr) of external
equipment such as DVD player.

This input accepts component signals only.

7 - INPUT 5 (VIDEO 1)

Remote Control

All the functions of the HIGHlite 5000GV can be controlled using the remote control.
The remote control can operate either by infra red or by a direct connection to the
projector via a hard wire connection.

When using infra red operation the remote control has an effective range of about
7m (23 feet) and at an angle of 30° above, below, to the left and to the right of the
remote control sensors located at the front and the rear of the projector. If the
remote control is not going to be used for a long period the batteries should be
removed.

Do not expose the remote control to heat, steam, water or other liquid. If the remote
control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

When remote control buttons are pressed and held, main unit function keys may
not operate.

You cannot operate the projector using the remote control if the remote ID is not
set to [00] or the remote ID is not the same as the projector ID.

Very bright flourescent lighting or Infra Red translation systems may saturate the
projectors’ Infra Red receiver rendering the remote control inoperative.

System Installation

INSTALLATION

LBV00063; Revision A - 01/02/2000

This installation section explains how to install the projector for optimum results.
To do this, it is necessary to determine the following:

1. The type of screen and whether front or rear projection is to be used.

2. The projector location and therefore the type of lens to be used.

3. The method of mounting for the projector.

4. The type of input source to be used with the projector.

Screen Requirements

As virtually all commercially available screens will give a pleasing image you
should choose according to your individual requirements. However, to achieve
optimum results we recommend a low gain (1.2 - 1.3), non-perforated screen for
front projection, this will keep hot spotting and light loss to a minimum whilst
providing wide viewing angles.

Regardless of the type of screen used, it is important that your screen is of sufficient
height to display the images at the aspect ratios intended to be used. Use the
following tables to check that you are able to display the full image on your screen.
If you have insufficient height, you will have to reduce the overall image size in
order to display the full image on your screen.
