About this User Guide
This User Guide describes how to set up and operate the following projectors:
• SUPERLUMISEC
• SUEPRLUMISHB
Except where otherwise indicated, the information in this guide applies to all the
projectors listed above, that will be referred to as “SUPERLUMIS”.
Information contained in this User Guide may be updated from time to time due to
product improvements and customer feedback. Visit www.sim2.com to find the latest
version of this document.
This document contains proprietary information protected by copyright. All rights are
reserved.
All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Safety
To reduce the risk of electrocution, disconnect the power cord on the
rear panel before removing the top cover of the projector. For technical
service refer to trained personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
If the lamp suddenly explodes with a loud bang, turn off the projector immediately
and air the room thoroughly. Do not attempt to restart the projector and do attempt
to replace the bulb: contact your local service center.
Read this manual
Read all chapters of this manual carefully before switching on the projector. This
manual provides basic instructions for operating the SUPERLUMIS projector.
Installation, preliminary adjustments and procedures that necessitate the removal of
the top cover and contact with electrical components must be performed by
authorized, trained technicians. To ensure safe operation and long term reliability use
only the power cords supplied by the manufacturer. Observe all warnings and precautions. Keep the manual for future consultation.
Do not touch internal parts of the projector
Inside the housing there are electrical parts carrying dangerously high voltages and
parts operating at high temperature. Never open the housing. Entrust all servicing and
repair work to a SIM2 Authorized Service Center. Opening the housing voids the
warranty.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
The device that disconnects the projector from the mains is the power plug. Ensure
that the power cord plugs and the electrical outlets are easily accessible during
installation operations. Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the projector from
the mains. Use only the specified power supply. Connect the projector to a mains

electrical supply with rated voltage of between 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz and equipped
with a protective earth connection. If you are not sure of your domestic mains rating,
contact an electrician. Take care to avoid overloading the power socket and any
extension leads.
Switching the projector off
Pay attention to the switch off procedure for the projector. The projector must always
be brought back to the standby state to allow the projector to carry out the cooling
procedure. Should this not happen, for example due to a power cut, the projector may
enter a state of protection that leads to switch-on being blocked. This block will last
until the internal components of the projector have completely cooled down.
Changing the fuses
Before changing the fuse, disconnect the projector from the mains power supply. The
fuse compartment is next to the power supply connector. Remove the fuse holder
with a flat head screwdriver and replace the fuse. Fit the replacement fuse. Use only
type T 10 A L H fuses for the projector.
Be careful with cables
Make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip hazard.
Keep all cables away from children. Install the projector as close to the wall socket as
possible. Avoid stepping on power cords, make certain they do not become tangled,
and never jerk or tug them; do not expose them to sources of heat, and make sure
they do not become knotted or crimped. If the power cords become damaged, stop
using the projector and request the assistance of an authorized technician.
Disconnect the projector from the mains power during electrical storms and when
not in use
To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity, disconnect the projector
during storms or when the projector is going to be left unused for a long time.
Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp
Do not use the projector near water (sinks, tubs and so on); do not place objects
containing liquids on or near the projector and do not expose it to rain, humidity,
drops of water or sprays; do not use water or liquid detergent to clean it.
Place the projector on a stable surface
Place the projector on a stable surface or use a suitable ceiling mounting bracket.
Never place the projector on its side or rear, on the lens or top panel.
Do not allow the projector to overheat
To prevent overheating, allow a free space of at least 0.25 m (10 in.) on the left, right
and rear sides of the projector. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots. Do not place the
projector near heat sources such as heaters, radiators or other devices (including
amplifiers) that generate heat. Do not place the projector in an area where there is
insufficient space (shelving units, bookshelves and so on) and in general avoid placing
it in poorly ventilated areas as this may prevent sufficient cooling and significantly
reduce lamp life.

Never look directly at the projection lamp
Never look directly into the lens when the lamp is on as the intense light may damage
your eyes. Take particular care that children cannot do so.
Take special care regarding movement of the lens
Do not place objects in the slots on the side of the lens and also ensure that vertical
lens movements are not impeded by external objects.
Do not insert objects through the openings in the projector
Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the projector. If this should occur,
disconnect the projector from the power supply immediately and call an authorized
technician.
Power saving
We advise disconnecting the projector from the power supply when not in use. In this
way you will achieve considerable power savings while at the same time protecting
internal electrical parts from wear.
3D content
Discomfort (such as eye strain, headaches, motion sickness, nausea, dizziness, disorientation) may be experienced while watching 3D content. In this case, stop watching
and consult a doctor if symptoms are severe.
Consult a doctor before allowing young children (especially those under six years old)
to watch 3D content as their visual system is still under development.
Monitor children (including teenagers) watching 3D content, as they are more at risk
of experiencing discomfort and less inclined to report symptoms.
Individuals who may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes (on the basis of
personal and family history) should consult a doctor before watching 3D content.
All viewers should take regular breaks from watching 3D content. Length and frequency of these breaks may vary from person to person.

Notice
The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating tests by SIM2 to guarantee
the highest quality. The projector bulb life should thus initially be around 30-60 hours.
In addition to the customary checks, the Quality Control department also runs additional statistical tests before shipment. In such cases, the packaging may show signs of
having been opened, and the hours of lamp operation may prove to be higher than
those normally shown when only standard tests are performed.
As the optical system of the SUPERLUMIS is extremely compact and has the purpose
of developing very high brightness and contrast, it is possible that a small quantity of
light is visible outside of the projection area and will vary depending on the type of
lens used and the zoom and shift setup. This characteristic of the optical system is to
be deemed as normal. In order to reduce this effect SIM2 recommends that the area
surrounding the projection screen is as dark as possible.
The SUPERLUMIS is a three chip DLP projector and uses three high resolution DMD
(red, green, blue). These three DMD are precisely aligned through a high precision
process that reduces the alignment error to within the foreseen limits of tolerance.
The maximum limits of misalignment are the following:
• Screen Center: up to 0.7 pixels between each color
• Screen Borders: up to 2 pixels between each color
Important information SUPERLUMIS
User Guide

These limits are perfectly normal for this optical system and will not be considered as
a malfunction of the product.
Note: One pixel corresponds to 10 thousandths of a millimeter on the DMD.

Operation
The SUPERLUMIS projector has two IR receivers, one on the front and one on the back
of the unit. The operative range of the remote control is approximately 10 m (33 ft.).
Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote
control and the IR receiver you are pointing to. You can point the remote control
towards the screen, as the IR beam is reflected by the screen towards front IR receiver
of the projector. In this case the effective range of the remote control may be smaller
than declared.
Batteries
To install batteries in the remote control:
1. Open the battery cover.
2. Insert four AAA (LR03) batteries making sure the polarities match the + marks
inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
Replace the batteries with new ones when the operating range of the remote control
decreases. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Make sure you do
not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
Warning: If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries
to avoid battery leakage.

3D RF Emitter
The 3D RF emitter is designed to be placed near the projector and aimed at the
screen. It receives the 3D sync signal from the projector and emits RF pulses that
reach the 3D glasses RF receiver.
The emitter does not require a battery.
Note: The emitter emits sync pulses only when the projector displays 3D content.
3D Glasses
When displaying 3D content, the projector alternately displays one image for the left
eye and one image for the right eye in rapid succession. The 3D glasses turn on and off
their lenses, in sync with the projector, so that each eye receives exactly the image
intended for it. The sync is possible thanks to the RF pulses received by the glasses
from the 3D RF emitter.
