Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical
specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction
and permanent damage of the unit.
In order to prevent damage to the projector caused by overvoltages (e.g. lightning), we recommend connection to a line (mains) circuit which has overvoltage protection.

LAMPS.
2.2.1 INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED
TO MERCURY VAPOR (UHP lamps only)
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely
bright image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in
cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting,
contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the
limits of danger set by the authorities. It is very important that lamps containing mercury are
treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure when
operating. While the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the probability of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of mercury
vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases when the lamp
reaches its nominal life. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is replaced when
the rated lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If
lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant
women in particular should leave the room.
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people
under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by
the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”, part of the United States
Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and kidneys are sensitive to the
effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposure.
Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor can cause conditions such as
lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful
effects of metallic mercury to the nervous system.
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual
conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.
2.2.2 HEAVY DUTY AND CONTINOUS USE (UHP lamps only)
The projector contains moving parts (such as cooling fans) that have limited life-expectancies. When the projector has been used for 8 000 hours, and when the unit is used in
mission-critical applications, it is recommended that the projector is given preventive maintenance by a qualified service person. A message will appear on the screen when the projector
is due for preventive maintenance. This will help ensure long term stable operation.
2.2.3 SERVICE PERSONNEL INFORMATION WARNING (UHP lamps only)
Use UV radiation eyes and skin protection during serviceing.

This is information is only applicable to the WUXGA and 1080p versions, not WQXGA.
The projector has support for AS3D. AS3D images require active shutter glasses to work. To
enable active stereo select 3D > 3D MODE. Enabling 3D mode will configure the projector for
the use with an active stereo source.
The only active stereo 3D format natively supported by the projector is sequential left/
right at a frequency between 100 and 120 Hz. Both DVI and HDMI connectors can be
used for sources up to 165 Mhz. For sources between 165 and 330 Mhz, only DVI dual
link is supported.
After enabling stereo mode, configure the glass type being used by selecting 3D > 3D
GLASSES TYPE. The follow glasses are support:
• DLP Link™
• IR
• IR high brightness (may cause crosstalk)
When using IR glasses it is important to configure the phase delay between the glasses
and actual image. This is done using 3D > 3D LOCK PHASE DELAY with values 0 and 179
degrees.
If left/right data channels are swapped there will be no 3D effect in the image, only parallel
distortion between the channels. This can be countered by enabling the 3D > SWAP EYES
feature.
6.1 Controlling multiple projectors with remote control ID (RCID)
The remote control can be operated either in ‘broadcast mode’, or ‘individual mode’. When
several projectors are in use in an installation, individual control may be convenient. Individual
control is available either by wired remote control, using the data-jack, or by using an individual number code. For individual control, first set the individual RC ID code using the projector
menu system, see the SETTINGS sub menu. Then, to select a specific projector to control,
first press the ‘*’ button in the lower keypad area, then the code as set in the target projector.
A code can be in the range ‘0’..’99’. ‘0’ is reserved for broadcast. To select another target,
repeat the process by pressing ‘*’ and a new code. To exit individual control, press ‘*’’*’ twice
or press ‘*’ and ‘0’.
6.2 Protecting the projector with a pin code
The projector may be controlled by a PIN (Personal Identification Number) code. The PIN
code is 4 digits, and if the PIN code is activated, you must enter the correct code to unlock
the projector. Factory set PIN (1234).
To activate, deactivate or change the PIN code, see the SETTINGS > PIN CODE sub menu.
If an incorrect PIN code is entered, you may try again two times.
If you fail three times in a row, a PUK (unlock) code is needed.
The PUK code is supplied with the product.
Entering the puk code correctly is the customers responsibility
If you also fail three times with the PUK code, the projector locks up permanently, and can
only be unlocked by a special service unlock code.
To access this code, you will need to contact your dealer or a service station. The service
unlock code will be generated based on a secure, encrypted number that is produced by the
projector itself. The projector will produce a new number every time.

6.3 Using dual head input
For extended flexibility to connect high resolution sources with a pixel clock over 165 MHz,
the projector is supporting a dual head input mode. In this mode the left and right half of the
image can be connected to the DVI 1/DVI 2 or HDMI 1/HDMI 2 interfaces respectively
(Figure 6-1).
To enable this mode, go to the menu INSTALLATION > DUAL HEAD SETUP. Side-by-side is
the only available option at this time.
Figure 6-1. Dual input mode
An example of this is feeding a WQXGA (2560x1600) source with 1280x1600 resolutions on
each the DVI interfaces.
When enabling this mode, the EDID data on each of the DVI connectors will automatically be
changed from WQXGA (2560x1600) to 1280x1600.
For the image to be displayed in this mode, the resolution must be exactly the same
on both connectors.
In this mode the two connected sources must have exactly the same timing. A drift in
timing between the inputs will result in a visible split in the center of image.
Some graphic cards have problems with detecting the change from single head to
dual head mode. If problems occur, disconnect both signal cables before enabling or
disabling the dual mode in the menu.
6.4 Setting custom color space and digital level
The projector will automatically try to set the correct color space and digital drive level based
on information from the source.
To manually override the automatically detected color space and digital level go to menu
entry PICTURE -> ADVANCED. Set the “digital color space and level” to manual and select
your color space and digital drive level.
6.5 Disabling IR receivers
The projector has 3 IR receivers as shown in chapter “4.1 Overview”.
These receivers can be individually disabled if necessary. Go to menu entry INSTALLATION >
IR FRONT / IR REAR to disable the receivers.
The projector has two programmable triggers with 3.5 mm mini-jack connectors. These can
be used to enable or disable screens, curtains or other peripheral equipment.
To change trigger settings, go to menu entry INSTALLATION > TRIGGER
By default:
• Trigger 1 is set to control a screen depending on whether projector is powered on or not.
• Trigger 2 is set to control a screen depending on the aspect ratio of currently active
source.
Both triggers can be manually overridden both in the menu system and by using the command and control protocol through RS-232 or LAN.
6.7 Setting aspect trigger behavior
To customize the aspect trigger functionality, go to menu entry INSTALLATION > TRIGGER >
ASPECT TRIGGER BEHAVIOR. In this sub-menu it is selectable for which input aspect ratios
the trigger will be enabled.
6.8 Automatic power on/off
The projector can be automatically powered on or off by using the internal timer function or
DPMS.
english
6.8.1 Using the timer
The projector features a real-time clock that enables timing control. This means that the
projector can be programmed to switch on and off at certain pre-set times during a weekly
cycle.
To allow for a flexible schedule, 10 ‘programs’ are available. With each program, you can
define the switch on or switch off time for a single day (Monday to Sunday), all work days
(Monday through Friday), or week-end (Saturday and Sunday). One, several or all programs
can be active at the same time as desired. In this way, a flexible scheme can be established.
Observe the 24 hour time format. For more information, see the SETTINGS > TIMER menu.
The following example illustrates a case where the projector turns on at 08:00 in the morning
(8 am) and switches off at 20:00 (8 pm) on weekdays (Monday through Friday). Weekends
(Saturdays and Sundays), it turns on at 10:00 (10 am) and off at 18:00 (6 pm). VGA is used
as the source. For this, four programs are needed, 2 for on and two for off.
6.8.2 Using DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling)
The projector is enabled for DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling). When enabled,
the projector will automatically switch to standby mode after a specified time if there is no
valid source present at its inputs. When a valid source is reconnected, the projector will start
up again.
To enable or disable DPMS, go to menu entry SETTINGS > DPMS. The desired DPMS timeout is set in the DPMS > DPMS TIMEOUT menu entry.
DPMS is disabled by default.

6.9 Disabling LED indicators
In certain installations it may desirable to completely disable the LED indicator in the keypad
of the projector. To disable the LED indicators, go to menu entry SETTINGS > LED
INDICATORS MUTE.
If the LED indicators are enabled, the timeout period can be set in the menu under SETTINGS > BACKLIGHT TIMEOUT.
6.10 Setting the background color
The background color displayed when the projector is searching for a source can be set to
a set of predefined colors. Go to menu entry SETTINGS > BACKGROUND to set the desired
color. Default is black.
6.11 Setting OSD menu timeout
If the OSD menu is open and not used for a defined period of time, it will automatically be
disabled. The default time is 30 seconds. This timeout interval can be controlled from 5 seconds to 60 seconds. The timeout can also be set to “never” for the OSD menu to never time
out. Go to menu entry SETTINGS > MENU TIMEOUT to change this setting.
6.12 Selecting the startup logo
When the projector is starting up, a logo is displayed in the entire image. The logo can also
be set to “black” if it is desirable to disable the manufacturers default logo. Go to menu entry
SETTINGS > SPLASH to change this setting.
The projector has power features for picture optimization. This chapter describes details in
using these features. All color calibration is done using projectiondesign’s proprietary RealColor™ solution.
7.1 Calibration data
All projectiondesign projectors are measured and calibrated with high precision equipment at
the factory for the best out-of-box experience. Over the lifetime of the lamps the characteristics of the projector might change slightly. The same applies when replacing lamps.
7.1.1 Updating RealColor™ calibration data
For accurate results with the RealColor™ system, accurate measurement data is required.
RealColor™ calibration data can be found under the menu entry PICTURE > CALIBRATION >
REALCOLOR CALIBRATION > MEASURED VALUES
X, Y and relative luminance values for red, green, blue, white is entered in this menu. All values can also be updated using the communications protocol over RS-232 or LAN.
Measurements must be done on the built in test patterns. In the user menu these patterns
can be accessed through PICTURE > CALIBRATION > REALCOLOR CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION TESTIMAGE. Use the arrow keys to cycle through the images.
Performing a factory reset of the projector will restore the measured values to the values measured in the factory.
When measuring data, a high quality measurement instrument is highly recommended
for accurate results. Spectrometers (like PhotoResearch PR-655) are preferred.
For an easier calibration procedure, automated calibration can be achieved using
projectiondesign’s software package ProNet. A license for the calibration software
package of ProNet must be purchased separately.

7.1.5 Defining the system color gamut
All colors visible to the eye are defined by CIE Chart in Figure 7-9. The boundary of the colors
the projector can display is called the system color gamut. The white triangle in Figure 7-9 is
an example of a system color gamut. By default the projector has the widest possible system
gamut.
The system color gamut cannot be expanded outside native color gamut.
It may be desirable to change the system color gamut of the projector to:
- Color match multiple projectors.
- Meet defined color standards, like REC 709.
- Create a special “look” to the image.
Before the system color gamut can be change the desired RealColor™ mode has to be
defined. To change the RealColor™ mode, please go the menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > DESIRED VALUES > DESIRED COORDS MODE.
RealColor™ has to be enabled for the desired system gamut to be applied. Go to menu entry
PICTURE > REALCOLOR > COLOR CORRECTION to enable RealColor™.
After RealColor™ is enabled and the desired color correction mode is selected, please go
the menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > DESIRED VALUES to change the color points to
the your desired system color gamut.
For graphical visualization of the system color gamut and easy color management for
a single or multiple projectors, the ProNet software package could be used. A license
for the calibration software package of ProNet must be purchased separately.

8.2 Lamp replacement
The LAMP indicators on the keypad will turn red when lamp life expires.
Change the lamp when lifetime expires. Always replace lamp with the same type and rating.
USE ORIGINAL LAMPS ONLY.
The lamp includes an electronic lamp timer that is tracking the life time of the lamp.
Always disconnect the power cord and wait until the projector has cooled down (60 minutes) before opening the lamp cover. Release the screw (LAMP 1) or (LAMP 2) (see below)
depending on which lamp that needs to be replaced.
Be careful not to touch the protective glass when replacing the lamp,
this may cause the protective glass to overheat and break while in use.

Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely
event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated.
The lamp module is designed to contain these fragments, but use
caution when removing the lamp module.
A Remove lamp lid (1 & 2) locking screws.
B Open the lamp lid(s).
C Turn the three locking screws a quarter turn anti-clockwise.
D Pull the lamp out.
E Replace with a new lamp in reverse order. When inserting a new lamp,
observe the guide pins.
F Turn the tree locking screws a quarter turn clockwise.
G Close the lamp lid.
H Turn the locking screw clockwise.
Lamp assembly 1 and 2 are different and have separate article numbers.
Make sure to order the correct one when replacing one of the lamps.
In the unlikely event of a lamp rapture, a limited amount of mercury vapor
may be emitted into the room. To avoid inhailing this mercury vapor
(which is toxic, and can be harmful for lungs and nervous system) the
room should be thoroughly ventilated for a period of at least 30 minutes.
There are no known health hazards from exposure to lamps that are
intact and which are used within an enclosed fixture. No adverse effects
are expected from occational exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of
good practise, avoid prolonged or frequent exposure to lamps unless
there is adequate ventilation. The major hazard from broken lamps is the
possibility of sustaining glass cuts.
