PLUG AND PLAY SET UP
Your EZ-250 system is set to operate right out of the box. It has been pre-configured to work with
the current line of EIKI projectors. If you are using one of the projectors listed below simply
connect the control cable from the projector to the RS-232c port on the EZ-250 interface. Connect
two cat5 cables between the same numbered ports (1 to 1, 2 to 2) on the controller and interface.
If you are using a mini-din 8 to DB9 sub cable you must set the dip switches for null modem
operation. After you have connected the EZ-250 controller to the EZ-250 interface and the
projector, connect the power to the EZ-250 interface.
PRESET CODE The configuration for the following data projectors are preset at the factory:
If you are controlling:
LC-X60, LC-X70, LC-XB15, LC-XB21, LC-XB22, LC-XB26, LC-XB30, LC-SB21
NOTHING FURTHER IS REQUIRED!
The default button configuration is:
Button 1 On Button 2 OFF
Button 3 Volume Up Button 4 CompositeVid Button 5 Computer 1 Button 6 Black Screen
Button 7 Volume Down Button 8 S-Video Button 9 Computer 2 Button 10 Auto Image
The other EIKI standard configurations can still be accessed without disconnecting the system. While the controller is
powered up, press button 8 down for 30 seconds (it really takes 30 seconds, please be patient.)
starts to blink, continue pressing the button down. The button will blink once then pause for about
3 seconds then it will blink twice, then pause for 3 seconds, etc. After you have arrived at the
proper number, release Button 8. Each set of blinks loads a different set of drivers for EIKI model
projectors.
After the button

indicators to let you know how much time is left before the devices shut
down. The first LED will shut off after 1 hour leaving three lit LEDs
indicating that there are three hours left. After the second hour only two
LEDs will remain lit. After the third hour only one will remain lit. This state
leaves one hour before the devices will shut down. At any time during this

Installation of EZ 250
Installing EZ 250 with ONE Device
1. Pull the two pieces of Cat 5 cable from the controller location to the data
projector location
2. Place the EZlink interface near the data projector location. This is
recommended because you will already have a 110v power outlet there.
3. Connect the control cable that is coming from the data projector into the
port that it was programmed for, either RS-232-1 or RS-232-2 on the
EZlink interface
4. Connect the power to the EZlink interface (do not plug the power into the
wall outlet yet)
5. Connect the cat5 cables from the interface to the EZ 250 controller. Plug
one cat5 cable into the EZlink 1 port on the interface and then to EZ1 on
the controller. Plug the second cat5 cable into EZlink 2 on the interface
and EZ2 on the controller
6. Set the dip switches on the EZlink interface (see page 25)
7. Plug the power supply into the wall outlet
8. You are ready to control your data projector
- 19 -
Installing EZ 250
with TWO Devices
1. Follow steps 1 – 7 in Install EZ 250 with 1 device for the first device
2. For the second device pull a DB9 serial cable from the EZlink interface to
the second device location
3. Connect the cable that is coming from the device into the port that you
selected during programming.
4. Set dip switches on EZlink interface (see page 25)
5. You are ready to control two devices

Installing EZ 250
with another EZ 250
1. Follow steps 1 – 7 in Install EZ 250 with 1 device for the first device
2. If connecting to another EZ 250 connect a db9 female to female cable
between the RS232- 2 port on the first EZlink interface and the RS232-2
port on the second EZlink interface.
3. Set your dip switches (see page 25)
4. Plug the power supply into the wall outlet
5. You are ready to control your data projector

Installing EZ 250
with the option of the
contact closures
1. Follow the steps in “Installing EZ 250 with 1 Data Projector” or “Installing
EZ 250 with 2 Data Projectors” or “Installing EZ 250 with a LSE Device
and a Data Projector” to connect with your data projector.
2. Setup which button you want to select the relay in the programming
section. Then connect your device into the relays.
3. For Example connecting a low voltage screen you would program the on
button to switch relay 1 and the off to switch relay 2.
4. Place the wire that controls the down into relay 1 along with the ground
5. Place the wire that controls the up into relay 2 along with the ground
6. Now when you turn the control on the screen will come down and the data
projector will turn on
7. When you turn the control off the screen will go up and the data projector
will turn off

Installing a EZ 250 with a NPC-1
1. Pull the two pieces of cat5 cable from the controller location to the data
projector location
2. Place the EZlink interface near the data projector location. This is because
there is already a 100v outlet there.
3. Connect the cable that is coming from the data projector into the RS-2321 port of the EZlink interface
4. Connect the cable from the NPC-1 into the RS-232-2 port of the EZlink
interface
5. Connect the power to the EZlink interface (do not plug the power supply
into the wall outlet yet)
6. Connect the cat5 cables from the interface to the EZ 250 controller. Plug
one cat5 cable into EZlink 1 port on the interface and then to EZ1 port on
the controller. Plug the second cat5 cable into EZlink 2 port on the hub
and the EZ2 port on the controller
7. Set the dip switches on the EZlink Hub (see page 25)
8. Connect the power supply to the wall outlet
9. You are ready to control your data projector

When connecting to devices on either RS-232-1 or RS-232-2 with a standard DB9 Cable
When connecting to devices on either RS-232-1 or RS-232-2 with a null modem DB9 Cable
When connecting to RS-232-1 with a standard DB9 cable and connecting to RS-232-2 with a
null modem DB9 cable
When connecting to RS-232-1 with a null modem DB9 cable and connecting to RS-232-2 with
a standard DB9 cable

EZ 250
1. Make sure that the connections are seated tightly
2. Check dip switch settings
3. Are you connected to RS 232 Port (2)?
4. If you do something in changing the buttons that you didn’t want to do,
select the restore factory setup button. This will set everything back to
original factory specs.
Software Troubleshooting
EZ 250 Operational Troubleshooting
1. If the data projector does not require a null modem connection you
make the connections the same as you did at the EZtrol. If it does
require a null modem connection change the RX and the TX at the
EZlink interface by resetting the dip switches.
2. Make sure if connecting between EZ 250 devices you are using
RS 232 Port (2)
