Safety warnings, cautions and important information

Installation

W A R N I N G

l Failure to follow the installation instructions included with your SMART product could

result in personal injury and damage to the product.

l To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the SMART product to rain or

moisture.

l Two people are required to mount your SMART product because it may be too heavy for

one person to safely manoeuvre.

When you lift your interactive whiteboard, you and your assistant should stand on either

side of the screen, supporting its weight at the bottom whilst balancing the top with your

other hands.

I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N

l When mounting the projector boom on a framed or hollow wall, attach the mounting

bracket to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors,

the drywall can fail, resulting in possible personal injury, and damage to the product which

may not be covered by your warranty.

l Do not leave cables on the floor where they can be a tripping hazard. If you must run a

cable over the floor, lay it in a flat, straight line and secure it to the floor with tape or a cable

management strip of a contrasting colour. Handle cables carefully and avoid excessive

bending.

C A U T I O N

l Do not operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm

location. When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture can

condense on the lens and crucial internal parts. Allow the system to stabilise to room

temperature before operation to prevent possible damage to the unit.

l Do not place the unit in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could

cause a malfunction and shorten the life of the projector.

l Avoid setting up and using the SMART product in an area with excessive levels of dust,

humidity and smoke.

l Do not place your SMART product in direct sunlight or near any appliance that generates a

strong magnetic field.

l If you need to lean the interactive whiteboard against a wall before you mount it, make

sure that it remains in an upright position, resting on the pen tray brackets, which can

sustain the weight of the interactive whiteboard.

Do not rest the interactive whiteboard on its side or on the top of the frame.

l You must connect the USB cable that came with your SMARTBoard interactive

whiteboard to a computer that has a USB compliant interface and that bears the USB

logo. In addition, the USB source computer must be compliant with CSA/UL/EN 60950

and bear the CE mark and CSA and/or UL Mark(s) for CSA/UL 60950. This is for operating

safety and to avoid damage to the SMARTBoard interactive whiteboard.

I M P O R T A N T

l Use the SMARTBoard 800i6-SMP interactive whiteboard system installation guide

(smarttech.com/kb/157703) and theSMARTBoard 800i6-SMP interactive whiteboard

system quick installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170TBA) to install your interactive

whiteboard system.

I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N

l The SMARTBoard 880i6 and 885i6 interactive whiteboard system textless installation

guide is also available online (smarttech.com/kb/170499).

l Make sure an electrical socket is near your SMART product and remains easily

accessible during use.

l Using your SMART product near a TV or radio could cause interference to the images or

sound. If this happens, move the TV or radio away from the projector.

Operation

W A R N I N G

l If you are using an external audio system, use only the power supply included with that

product. Using the wrong power supply might create a safety hazard or damage the

equipment. If in doubt, refer to the specification sheet for your product to verify the power

supply type.

l Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on a wall- or stand-mounted SMARTBoard

interactive whiteboard.

Do not climb on, hang from or suspend objects from the projector boom.

Climbing on the interactive whiteboard or projector boom could result in personal

injury or product damage.

l To prevent injury or product and property damage, use only the mounting hardware

supplied with your SMARTBoard 800 series interactive whiteboard when you install your

product on drywall. The mounting hardware provided with other interactive whiteboards

may not be strong enough to support the weight of SMARTBoard 800 series interactive

whiteboards.

C A U T I O N

l Do not block the projector’s ventilation slots and openings.

l If dust or small items prevent pen tray buttons from being pressed or cause constant

button contact, remove the obstructions carefully.

I M P O R T A N T

l Keep your remote control in a safe place because there is no other way to access menu

options.

l Do not disconnect cables from the ECP to connect peripheral devices because you could

disconnect controls for your interactive whiteboard.

l Disconnect the product from its power source when it’s not used for a long period.

About your interactivewhiteboard system

SMART Board 480i6 interactive whiteboard system features

Your SMART Board 480i6 interactive whiteboard

system uses the short-throw, high-offset

SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector. The

throw distance of the SMARTUF70 or

SMARTUF70w projectors is half that of the

SMARTUF65 projector, resulting in a shorter

boom and reduced shadows on the projected

image.

When the projector displays an image from your

computer on the touch-sensitive interactive

whiteboard, you can do everything that you can do

at your computer—open and close applications,

scroll through files, conference with others, create

new documents or edit existing ones, visit websites, play video clips and more—by touching the

screen. Two users can also draw on the interactive surface at the same time and you can use an

array of gestures within applications.

This projector also supports video and audio connections from a variety of devices, including

DVD/Blu-ray™ players, VCRs, document cameras and digital cameras, and can project media

from these sources onto the interactive screen.

When you use SMART software with your SMART Board 480i6 interactive whiteboard system,

you can write or draw over the projected computer image in digital ink using a pen tray pen or your

finger, and then save these notes to a .notebook file or directly into any Ink Aware application.

quick installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170TBA) to install your interactive whiteboard

system.

This chapter provides additional considerations and details for installing your interactive

whiteboard system.

Choosing a location

Choose a location for your interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright light sources, such

as windows and strong overhead lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on

your interactive whiteboard and can reduce the contrast of the projected image.

Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and sufficient clearance to accommodate your interactive

whiteboard system. Install the projector and your interactive whiteboard on the same flat surface.

For best presentation alignment, mount your interactive whiteboard system in a location that’s

central to your audience’s viewing direction.

For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorised SMART reseller.

C H A P T E R 2

Installing your interactive whiteboard system

W A R N I N G

l Refer to your interactive whiteboard system’s specifications (available at

smarttech.com/support) for its weight. Check your local building regulations to ensure that

your wall can support this weight and use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall

type.

l If you are installing the interactive whiteboard system on drywall, use all the toggle bolts

included. If one of the bracket holes aligns with a wall stud, use appropriate hardware in

that hole instead of a toggle bolt.

C A U T I O N

If you’re replacing a SMARTBoard 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard with the

SMARTBoard 800 series interactive whiteboard on drywall, you must remove the wall-mount

bracket and mounting hardware and then install all the mounting hardware and brackets

supplied with your SMARTBoard 800 series interactive whiteboard instead.

To help ensure that your interactive whiteboard is mounted correctly, make sure that the colours

of the wall-mount hanger on the back of the interactive whiteboard and the wall-mount bracket are

the same.

Choosing a height

SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this

template, contact your authorised SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do

the following:

l Mount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, whilst maintaining enough

space for airflow and installation access above the unit.

l Position the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard to align the

projected image with the touch screen.

Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor suitable for adults of average

height. You should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a

location for your interactive whiteboard.

C H A P T E R 2

Installing your interactive whiteboard system

Securing your interactive whiteboard system

This section explains how to secure the different components of your interactive whiteboard

system.

Locking the pen tray to your interactive whiteboard

To learn how to lock the pen tray to your interactive whiteboard, see the SMARTBoard 800

series interactive whiteboard user’s guide (smarttech.com/kb/144817).

Securing the projector to the boom

To learn how to secure the SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector to the boom, see the

SMARTBoard 880i6 and 885i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide included

(smarttech.com/kb/170499)

Routing the cables

When connecting cables from your SMARTUF70 projector to your interactive whiteboard

system, make sure that all cables pass along the top of the interactive whiteboard wall-mounting

bracket and then down the side of the interactive whiteboard.

When connecting cables from a SMARTUF70w projector to the interactive whiteboard, make

sure that all cables pass between the two interactive whiteboard wall-mounting brackets. Space

your wall-mounting brackets 10.2cm (4") apart to provide full support for the weight of your

interactive whiteboard.

Adjusting the image

Refer to these notes when adjusting the projected image as described in the SMARTBoard 880i6

and 885i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide included (smarttech.com/kb/170499).

l Whilst adjusting the projected image size, shape and location, use the projector’s default

background so that you can see the full projected image clearly. Don’t use other images,

which might be cropped or scaled by the projector and could result in a misleading projected

image size, shape and location.

l Use the mechanical adjustments described in the installation document to make all physical

image adjustments. Don’t use the projector’s on-screen menu options during the projector

alignment process.

l Be aware that as you tilt the projector up or lower its mounting boom to raise the image, the

entire projected image increases or decreases in size, especially at the bottom of the

projected image.

l When adjusting keystone (tilt), ensure that the top and bottom edges of the image are

horizontal before you position the left and right edges of the image relative to your interactive

whiteboard.

l When you move the projector forward or backward on the boom to make the image larger or

smaller, you might need to tilt or turn the projector slightly to keep the image square. Loosen

the lever slightly to aid in this adjustment.

l To fine-tune the image, you might need to repeat all steps described in the installation

document in smaller increments.

This appendix includes detailed instructions on how to set up your computer or room control

system to remotely manage your SMART Board 480i6 interactive whiteboard system settings

through an RS-232 serial interface.

A P P E N D I X B

Remotely managing your system through an RS-232 serialinterface

Connecting your room control system to the ECP

By connecting a computer or room control system to the 4-pin connector on the ECP, you can

select video inputs, start up or shut down your interactive whiteboard system and request

information such as projector lamp use, current settings and network addresses.

N O T E

On projectors with the RS-232 connector labelled Control 9v (rather thanControl), pin 1

functions as a +9V DC power source only for use with older model ECPs such as the ones

supplied with SMARTUF55 projectors.

Serial interface settings

The serial interface of the projector acts as a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) device

and its settings can’t be configured. You must configure your computer’s serial communication

program (such as Microsoft® HyperTerminal) or your room control system’s serial

communication settings with the following values:

Setting Value

Data Rate 19.2 kbps

Data Bits 8

Parity None

Stop Bits 1

Flow Control None

N O T E S

l Asynchronous mode is disabled by default in the projector.

l All commands should be in ASCII format. Terminate all commands with a carriage return.

l All responses from the projector are terminated with a command prompt. Wait until you

receive the command prompt indicating that the system is ready for another command

before you proceed.

l The room control feature of the projector is always on.

To configure your computer’s serial interface

1. Turn on your computer and then start your serial communications program or terminal

emulation program.

2. Connect your computer to the serial connection cable you previously connected to the ECP.

A P P E N D I X B

Remotely managing your system through an RS-232 serialinterface

3. Configure your serial interface settings using the values from the table in the previous

section and then press ENTER.

An “invalid cmd= ? for help” message appears, and the > character appears as a command

prompt on the following line.

N O T E

If no message or an error message appears, your serial interface configuration isn’t

correct. Repeat step 3.

4. Type commands to configure your settings.

N O T E S

To see a list of commands available in the current operating mode, type ? and then

press ENTER.

If you’re using a terminal emulation program, turn on your program’s local echo

setting to see characters as you type them.

Field definitions

Field Possible values Description

off option l now

powerstate l powering

l on l cooling l confirm off l idle

This is an optional field and can simply be skipped. When specified, it forces the device to shut down – a user cannot cancel the process. If ‘now’ is not specified, the ‘off’ command should cause a dialogue to be displayed on the projector with a countdown. A second `off` must be sent before the countdown has expired to actually turn the unit off. If the countdown expires without an additional ‘off’ command, the projector does not turn off.

N O T E

This should be considered another projector state and when the countdown is completed an asynchronous response should indicate that the projector has returned to the ‘on’ state.

When powered down, this command should be accepted but will not do anything except return the power state.

The device’s current power state. Different

devices have different potential power states.

These power states should match the power

states found in the UF70 and UF70w projector.

target aspectratio l = fill

l = match l = 16:9

The ranges must match the OSD ranges.

Fill:

No matter what the input, the image is stretched, scaled etc to produce an image that matches the DMD device. So 16:9 in = 4:3 out for the XGA projector and 16:9 in = 16:10 out for the WXGA

current aspectratio l Fill

l match l 16:9

target projectionmode l = front

l = ceiling l = rear l = rear ceiling

Match:

The signal is scaled such that the input aspect ration is what is displayed. So 4:3 in = 4:3 out. 16:10 in = 16:10 in. 4:5 in = 4:5 out.

16:9

The signal is scaled and stretched to produce a 16:9 image.

Power override forces the projector to remain in the ON state when the command is received. This command is NOT persistent and does not get stored to non-volatile memory (cleared on power cycle).

When this mode is enabled, the power button on the remote and the ECP must not turn off the projector.

This command must also be added to the service menu so the user can disable it via the OSD.
