Safety Warnings, Cautions and Important Information

WARNINGS – GENERAL
Failure to follow the installation instructions included with your interactive whiteboard, or found in this guide, could result in personal injury or product damage.
Two people are required to safely mount the projector boom and the interactive whiteboard on a wall because the items might be too heavy for one person to maneuver onto their wall-mounting brackets.
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 color. Handle cables carefully and avoid excessive bending.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose any component of your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system to rain or moisture.
When mounting the projector boom on a framed wall, you must attach both the mounting bracket and safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector’s boom will be free to swing. Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from the unit without supporting the projector boom first.
Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on any part of your wall-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard system. Climbing on your interactive whiteboard or the UF55/UF55w projector’s boom could result in personal injury or product damage. Do not climb on, hang from or suspend objects from the projector’s boom.
Cleaning a boom-mounted projector may result in a fall or injury.
iii | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNINGS – PROJECTOR
Refer to the safety warnings and precautions published in the UF55/UF55w
projector manual.
Do not stare (or allow children to stare) directly into your projector’s beam of light. Instruct children not to look in the direction of this beam of light. Encourage users to keep their back to the projector when working at the interactive whiteboard. Before they turn to face the audience, users should step sideways, out of the projector’s beam.
Do not attempt to service the projector other than performing routine lamp replacement. Other than the lamp module, there are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit.
This projector detects its own remaining lamp life. Replace the lamp when a lamp life warning message appears. If you continue to use the projector after the replacement message appears, the lamp might shatter or burst, scattering glass throughout the projector head.
If the lamp has shattered or burst:
Call your authorized SMART reseller
for instructions. Do not attempt
to replace the lamp.
Do not touch the glass fragments because they might cause injury.
Leave and then ventilate the area where the lamp shattered or burst.
Wash your hands thoroughly if you have come in contact with
lamp debris.
Thoroughly clean the area around the projector, and then discard any
edible items placed in that area because they might be contaminated.
You must remove the projector from the projector’s boom before servicing the lamp.
Two people are required to remove and replace the projector.
Replacing the lamp in a boom-mounted projector might result in a fall
or injury.
Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on the boom might
lead to product damage or personal injury from falling pieces of glass if the lamp is broken.
iv | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When replacing the projector lamp:
Turn the projector off and wait 30 minutes for the lamp to cool completely
before removing the projector from the boom.
Do not remove any screws other than those specified in the lamp
replacement instructions.
Wear protective eyewear while changing the lamp. Failure to do so can
cause injury or loss of eyesight if the lamp shatters or bursts.
Use only replacement lamps approved by SMART Technologies. Contact
your authorized SMART reseller
for replacement parts.
Never replace the lamp assembly with a previously-used lamp assembly.
To prevent premature lamp failure or exposure to mercury, always handle
the fragile lamp assembly with care. Use gloves when touching the lamp. Do not touch the lamp with your fingers.
Recycle or dispose of the lamp module as hazardous waste,
in accordance with local regulations.
When returning the projector to the boom, replace all of the screws that you removed when you removed the projector. Failure to do so can result in the projector falling from the boom, causing injury or equipment damage.
To reduce the risk associated with a leaking battery in your projector’s remote control:
Use only the specified coin-cell type battery.
Orient the battery’s plus (+) and minus (-) terminal according
to the markings on the remote control.
Remove the battery when the remote control is unused for an extended
period.
Do not heat, disassemble, short or recharge the battery, or expose it to
fire or high temperatures.
Avoid eye and skin contact if the battery has a leak.
Dispose of the exhausted battery and product components in accordance
with applicable regulations.
v | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
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 could condense on the lens and crucial internal parts. Allow the system to reach room temperature before operation to prevent possible damage to the unit.
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.
Make sure that an electrical socket is near to your SMART product and remains easily accessible during use.
Do not add any extra weight or apply pressure to the UF55/UF55w projector boom, the wall-mounted interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART designed the brackets to support only the weight of the components during normal use.
For operating safety and to prevent damage to your interactive whiteboard, connect the included USB cable only 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 CAS/UL 60950.
Do not connect your serial cable directly to the projector’s RS-232 serial interface. Use the extended control panel’s (ECP’s) RS-232 serial interface only.
In a location over 6000' (1829 m) altitude, the air is thin and cooling efficiency is reduced, so use the projector with the fan mode set to High.
Do not block the projector’s ventilation slots and openings.
Avoid turning off the projector during the lamp ignition phase since this may lead to premature lamp failure. Keep the projector lamp on for a minimum of 15 minutes before turning it off to preserve the lamp life.
Cycling power to the projector repeatedly can lock or damage your interactive whiteboard system. After you turn off the system, wait at least 15 minutes for cooling before starting the system again.
Before you clean the UF55/UF55w projector, press the power button twice on the ECP or remote to put the system into Idle mode, and then allow the bulb to cool for 30 minutes.
Do not allow liquids or commercial solvents of any kind to flow into the projector base or head. Do not use spray cleaners or solvents near any part of the projector since they may damage or stain the unit.
vi | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Standard Accessories

The following accessories are included with your SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3 interactive whiteboard system.

Remote Control

The remote control enables you to control the system and set up your UF55/UF55w projector. Use the remote control to access menu options, system information and input
selection options.

Pen Tray Tools

The pen tray tools include four pens and an eraser. The pens have rubberized grip areas, colored to match four colors of digital ink: black, red, green and blue. You can use dry-erase markers instead of the included pens, as long as they’re a similar shape, don’t scratch or mark your interactive whiteboard’s surface and reflect infrared light. You can use Sanford® EXPO® markers as substitutes.
NOTES
If the substitute isn’t reflective to infrared light, the pen tray sensors might not
detect the presence of the pen.
Some of SMART’s older pens aren’t designed to reflect infrared light and the
pen tray sensors might not detect them reliably. Wrap light-colored tape around a substitute pen to improve the reflection of infrared light, helping with tool detection.
Don’t use low-odor dry-erase markers such as Sanford EXPO2, which can be
very difficult to remove. Use standard dry-erase (high-odor) markers that show a warning to use them only in well-ventilated areas.

Eraser

The eraser resembles a rectangular chalkboard eraser. Again, you can use a substitute object, as long as it has a similar shape, doesn’t scratch or mark your interactive whiteboard’s surface and reflects infrared light.

INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Before Installing Your SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3 Interactive Whiteboard System

Choose a location for your SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3 interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows or 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 minimum clearance to accommodate your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system. Make sure that the UF55/UF55w projector and your interactive whiteboard are installed on the same flat surface. For best presentation alignment, SMART recommends that you mount your interactive whiteboard system in a location that’s central to your audience’s viewing direction. For mobile installation or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART
reseller. If the mounting surface is slightly irregular or if you’re unable to mount your
interactive whiteboard system on a stud, see Mounting SMART Board Interactive
Whiteboard Systems and UF55 Projectors on a Back Board
(document 135075
) on the SMART Technical Support website.

Recommended Mounting Heights

SMART includes a mounting template with each of its SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3 interactive whiteboard systems. If you lose this template, contact your
authorized SMART reseller
Mount the UF55/UF55w projector at a safe height for head space clearance, while maintaining enough space for airflow and installation access above the unit.
Position the projector at the correct height above your 600 or SBD600 series interactive whiteboard so that the projected image aligns with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor that’s suitable for adults of average height. Although you should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a position for your interactive whiteboard, consult your local regulations before mounting the unit.
WARNING
When mounting the projector on a framed wall, you must attach both the mounting bracket and safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector boom will be free to swing. Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from the unit without supporting the projector boom first.
. Using this template ensures that you:

After Installing Your SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3 Interactive Whiteboard System

Adjusting Keystone Alignment

Keystone errors occur when the projected image isn’t perpendicular to the screen.
The image appears shorter across the top when the image path’s distance from the projector to the top of the screen is shorter than the distance to the bottom of the screen. The image appears shorter across the bottom when the image path’s distance from the projector to the bottom of the screen is shorter than the distance to the top of the screen. Vertical keystone errors can occur when you mount the UF55/UF55w projector and the SMART Board 600 or SBD600 series interactive whiteboard on an uneven surface or a wall that has obstructions.
Horizontal keystone errors can occur when you swivel the UF55/UF55w projector too far from your SMART Board 600 or SBD600 series interactive whiteboard’s vertical center, when you mount the projector and the interactive whiteboard on an uneven surface, or when the interactive whiteboard is slightly closer to the projector on one side than the other.
14 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
Focus
Ring
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
The image appears shorter across the right side when the distance from the projector to the right side of the screen is shorter than the distance to the left side of the screen. The image appears shorter across the left side when the distance from the projector to the left side of the screen is shorter than the distance to the right side of the screen.
Adjust your interactive whiteboard side to side to center the image (from the projector), as illustrated in the installation document. This eliminates many keystone errors. If your installation environment prevents you from moving your interactive whiteboard, you can adjust the projector boom for optimal image alignment.
NOTES
If you move your interactive whiteboard system to a new location, you must
re-adjust it.
If your projector requires service, you must adjust the replacement projector.
WARNING
Two people are required to safely mount the projector boom and the interactive whiteboard on a wall because the items might be too heavy for one person to maneuver onto the wall-mounting brackets.
To focus and
adjust the image

Focusing the Image

NOTE
Ensure that you remove the plastic lens cover from the projector.
To focus the projected image, use the Focus Ring, located on the bottom of the UF55/UF55w projector (when the projector is facing downward).
Rotate the Focus Ring right or left until the image is clear.
15 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Performing an Image Alignment

Use this procedure to obtain a rectangular image that’s slightly smaller than your interactive whiteboard’s screen.
NOTES
Project a computer image (set to the proper resolution) while performing the
following steps. If you don’t have a computer, use the projector’s default blue background so that you can see the fully projected image clearly.
SMART doesn’t recommend adjusting digital keystoning within the projector.
Instead, use the mechanical adjustment described below.
To perform an initial
image alignment
1. Align the top of the projected image so that it’s parallel with the top edge of your interactive whiteboard’s surface.
2. Loosen the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint to allow movement of the projector as needed.
IMPORTANT
Do not loosen the wingnut too much or the projector will not hold the
adjustments.
3. Tilt the projector left or right, up or down, or from side to side, until the top edge of the projector image is parallel with the top edge of your interactive whiteboard.
16 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
Center Hex Screw
Projector Boom
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
To adjust th e
projector alignment
1. If the bottom edge of the projected image is smaller than the top edge of the projected image, and the sides of the projected image slope inward toward the bottom of the projected image, tilt the projector down or raise the projector’s mounting boom to lower the image. Turn the center hex screw at the base of the boom counter-clockwise using a 6 mm hex key (not included) to raise the boom.
2. If the bottom edge of the projected image is larger than the top edge of the projected image, and the sides of the projected image slope outward toward the bottom of the projected image, tilt the projector up or lower the projector’s mounting boom to raise the image. Turn the center hex screw at the base of the boom clockwise using a 6 mm hex key (not included) to lower the boom and tilt the projector forward and backward.
NOTE
The entire projected image may increase slightly in size during this process, and more at the bottom of the projected image than at the top.
17 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
3. Adjust the projected image’s horizontal alignment by turning the projector left or right, until the top and bottom edges of the projected image are horizontal and parallel.
NOTE
Don’t pay attention to the position of the left and right edges relative to your interactive whiteboard during this step.
4. Move your SMART Board interactive whiteboard left or right on its mounting bracket to center the image on your interactive whiteboard.
5. If you haven’t already done so, loosen the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint to enable the projector to move backward and forward in the slot.
18 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
6. Move the projector forward or backward on the boom to make the image larger or smaller.
NOTE
During this step, you may need to tilt or turn the projector slightly to keep the image square.
7. Focus the projector using the focus lever (located on the top of the projector).
NOTE
You may need to repeat all steps in smaller increments in order to fine-tune the image.
8. Tighten the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint.

Security Slot
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Securing the Pen Tray and Interactive Whiteboard

Because your SMART Board interactive whiteboard’s pen tray is detachable, you might want to safeguard it—and your interactive whiteboard—by anchoring it with a security cable.
IMPORTANT
Securing the pen tray can provide theft deterrence for your interactive whiteboard because the screws that secure your interactive whiteboard to the wall are located directly behind the pen tray, and must be removed to detach the pen tray. In effect, when you secure the pen tray, you’re also securing your interactive whiteboard if the security cable is tight.
Underneath the pen tray, there is a security slot that accommodates a security cable, such as a Kensington® lock.
To lock the pen tray
to your interactive
whiteboard
IMPORTANT
Be aware that security cable locks are not designed to be a solid protection measure because the lock can be torn out. However, potential thieves might be reluctant to try to sell a product with a broken security cable lock hole, which would readily identify it as a stolen item.
1. Loop the security cable behind the pen tray brackets before you secure them to the wall, and then thread the lock end of the cable through the loop end of the cable.
2. Verify that the cable is tight enough to prevent you from removing the pen tray while the lock is in place, and then install the pen tray.
3. Insert the prong end of the security cable into the security slot, and then complete the pen tray installation by securing it to the wall.
20 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
Screw Location
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Since you can remove the pen tray without tools, you might want to securely attach it to its brackets. To do this, insert two No. 8/M4 screws (not included) into the holes indicated in the following illustration.
NOTE
Older pen trays don’t have this feature.

The embedded firmware program coordinates command sequencing and is capable of buffering up to 127 commands. In each power state, the commands are buffered until the system can process them. The ? command will list all available commands for the current powerstate.
IMPORTANT
The system buffer can delay response times. Response times vary.

Command Inventory

The UF55/UF55w projector responds to the commands in the tables on the following pages.
CAUTION
Cycling power to the projector repeatedly can lock or damage your interactive
whiteboard system. After you turn off the system, allow at least 15 minutes for cooling before sending the On command to start the system.
Check your entries carefully before entering your commands.
NOTES
Commands aren’t case sensitive.
Type commands exactly as they appear in the left column of the tables.
Press ENTER after typing each command.

INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Preventing Damage to Your Interactive Whiteboard

Although your SMART Board interactive whiteboard’s surface is very durable, take the following precautions to prevent damage to the interactive screen and other components.
Don’t use sharp or pointed objects, such as ballpoint pens or pointers, as writing tools.
Don’t use abrasive erasers or harsh chemicals when cleaning your product.
Don’t leave adhesive tape on the writing surface for extended periods. Lifting the tape may remove the coating that provides your product’s dry-erase capability.
Don’t set up and use your interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity or smoke.

Keeping the Writing Surface Clean

For cleaning instructions, refer to the SMART Board 600 and SBD600 Series Interactive Whiteboard Installation and User’s Guide (document 1414
IMPORTANT
Before you clean your interactive whiteboard, shut down your computer or disconnect the USB cable from your interactive whiteboard so that you do not scramble the desktop icons or inadvertently activate applications when you wipe your interactive whiteboard’s screen.
With proper care, your SMART Board interactive whiteboard will provide years of trouble-free service. Follow these tips to keep the screen surface clean:
Don’t use low-odor dry-erase markers such as Sanford EXPO2®, which can be very difficult to remove. Use standard dry-erase (high-odor) markers that include a warning to use them only in well-ventilated areas.
Erase dry-erase ink as soon as possible after use. The longer dry-erase ink stays on the surface, the more difficult it is to remove.
Remove excess dry-erase dust with a damp lint-free cloth before using a cleaner.
If erasing doesn’t completely remove dry-erase ink, clean the writing surface with a household glass cleaner, such as Windex®, daily, weekly or as required.
).
Use a dry-erase marker cleaner if you can still see ink marks after erasing.
Don’t allow excess glass cleaner to flow into the crack between the lower frame and the writing surface, or into the pen tray recesses.
Use isopropyl alcohol for stubborn stains and ghosting.
53 | CHAPTER 7 – MAINTAINING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 OR SBD600I3
Infrared Sensors
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Removing Permanent Marker Ink Stains

To remove marks made with a permanent marker, use a cleaner such as Sanford EXPO Dry Erase Board Doctor. Write directly over the permanent ink stain with the Board Doctor pen, allow the solution to dry completely, and then wipe clean.
You can also use a high-odor dry-erase marker to remove marks from a permanent marker because dry-erase ink contains solvents that can remove permanent ink. Cover the permanent ink with the dry-erase ink, and then wipe with a lint-free soft cloth while the ink is still wet. If any trace of the ink remains, spray a lint-free cloth with a glass or whiteboard cleaner, and then wipe the area clean.
TIP
When removing permanent marker ink, don’t use low-odor or non-scented dry-erase markers. They don’t contain the appropriate solvents.

Cleaning the Pen Tray

If the infrared sensors in the bottom of the pen tray’s recesses become obstructed by dirt, the sensors won’t detect when you remove or replace a pen or the eraser. The LED indicators won’t illuminate and the lifted tool won’t work on your interactive whiteboard’s screen.
To clean a sensor, moisten a cotton swab with a household glass cleaner, such as Windex, and then carefully clean the infrared transmitter and receiver.
NOTE
There are no user serviceable parts inside the pen tray. Only qualified personnel should disassemble the pen tray. If dust or a small object prevents you from pressing a button, or causes a button to stick, remove the object carefully.

Cleaning the UF55/UF55w Projector

WARNING
Cleaning a boom-mounted projector may result in a fall and injury.
CAUTION
Before you clean the UF55/UF55w projector, press the power button twice on
the ECP or remote to put the system into Idle mode, and then allow the bulb to cool for 30 minutes.
Do not allow liquids or commercial solvents of any kind to flow into the
projector base or head. Do not use spray cleaners or solvents near any part of the projector, since they may damage or stain the unit.
IMPORTANT
Wipe the exterior of the projector using a lint-free cloth.

Cleaning the Projector

Follow these guidelines to clean the projector:
Avoid touching the lens. If it’s necessary to clean the lens:
Use liquids or commercial solvents (such as glass cleaners) to clean the lens,
but don’t spray them directly on the system.
Use protective gloves and dip a lint-free cloth (such as Purestat® PW2004)
in an anti-static solvent (such as Hyperclean® EE-6310).
Make sure that you gently wipe the lens from the center to the outer area.
Avoid spraying cleaner on the projector system. Spraying on the projector’s components and lamp may result in damage and poor image quality.
