with a RS232 cable Please disconnect the computer from the RS232 port first. Then
use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector.
The visualiser provides a 6-pin to 9-pin RS232 cable. If this cable does not match
to your projector’s RS232 port, an additional RS232 cable is needed. This additional
RS232 cable can be made based on the pin location of the projector’s RS232 con-
trol port. The pin locations of the visualiser are: the pin 1 is RXD (Received Data);
the pin 5 is TXD (Transmitted Data); the pin 4 is GND (Ground). Other pins are not
defined. The pin location information of the projector is provided by the projector’s
manufacturer. The projector’s RS232 control port normally has RXD pin, TXD pin
and GND pin, the name may be different. The parallelism of each data pin is shown
as follows:
Visualiser’s RXD pin------------Projector’s TXD pin
Visualiser’s TXD pin------------Projector’s RXD pin
Visualiser’s GND pin------------Projector’s GND pin
5. If you can not use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector,
please use Code-Writing software’s projector control code testing function to check

In the POWER ON box, Input : be, ef, 03, 06, 00, ba, d2, 01, 00, 00, 60, 01, 00. Then use
the same input rule to input other code.
b. If the data is in the character string format, input ‘character string’.
For example: the “POWER ON” code in the SHARP C40/50 projector manual is :
BE EF 03 06 00 BA D2 01 00 00 60 01 00
P O W E - - - 1
(“-“ is space is enter.)
with a RS232 cable Please disconnect the computer from the RS232 port first. Then
use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector.
The visualiser provides a 6-pin to 9-pin RS232 cable. If this cable does not match
to your projector’s RS232 port, an additional RS232 cable is needed. This additional
RS232 cable can be made based on the pin location of the projector’s RS232 con-
trol port. The pin locations of the visualiser are: the pin 1 is RXD (Received Data);
the pin 5 is TXD (Transmitted Data); the pin 4 is GND (Ground). Other pins are not
defined. The pin location information of the projector is provided by the projector’s
manufacturer. The projector’s RS232 control port normally has RXD pin, TXD pin
and GND pin, the name may be different. The parallelism of each data pin is shown
as follows:
Visualiser’s RXD pin------------Projector’s TXD pin
Visualiser’s TXD pin------------Projector’s RXD pin
