Press the MENU key to invoke or exit from the menu system. When the menu is active, the trackball is used to navigate between options (and therefore is not available for mouse control etc. at the same time). The

ENTER key is used to activate or deactivate a function.

The PROG key may be assigned to any of the menu functions.

Toggle functions (like OSD, REAR etc.) are tagged when active and untagged when not active.

Increase/decrease functions (like TUNE and FREQUENCY etc.) are adjusted using the trackball or keyboard cursor controls. The OSD field (in the lower left corner of the screen) indicates the actual settings.

The menu system is toggled on and off with the MENU key. The MENU is also switched off after one minute of inactivity. Most settings are memorized unless otherwise noted.

The main menu selections SETUP, SOUND, OPTIONS and HELP are explained in detail below.

Features available with some sources only are shown in grey color characters in the menu, while generally available functions are in normal case.

22


8.3.1 THE SET-UP MENU SELECTIONS

TUNE is used to stabilize the image. An untuned image can be seen as sideways instability or “swimming”.

FREQUENCY is provided to adjust image width. Generally, an incorrect frequency setting can be observed as an image too wide or too narrow, combined with vertical, unstable bands.

POSITION. Due to minor variations in graphic cards, the horizontal and vertical position may need adjustment. Select POSITION, then press LEFT and use the cursor keys or trackball.

REAR inverts the image for use in rear projection arrangements i.e.

projection from the rear of a screen.

CEILING switches between an upright and an upside-down projection by flipping the image vertically.

MAC ( 832 X 624 ) enables detection of this specific source. Some SVGA sources with equal or more total lines will then be treated as MAC ( 832 X

624 ). In those cases, turn this function off.

COLOR CALIBRATION provides adjustment towards a warmer or cooler image. This can either be generally adjusted by using the COLOR TEMP.

(Color Temperature) option, or individually adjusted by using the RED,

GREEN or BLUE options.

FACTORY RESET. This function resumes factory settings of all parameters.

8.3.2 THE SOUND SELECTIONS

TREBLE controls the higher sound range.

9 CEILING MOUNTING

The projector is prepared for ceiling mounting. As opposed to desktop use

(most tables are approx. 80 cm tall, are flat and have a hard surface finish), ceilings vary in height and material. Also considerations must be made with respect to signal and power wiring.

9.1 SELECTING A MOUNT

Various mounting systems are available from different sources. Contact your dealer for further details or consult vendor catalogues.

Be sure that the vendor has tested the mount with this specific projector for operational safety.

Check that the mounting brackets fit the six integral M4 screw mounts (see illustration below) of the projector, and that the ventilation slots are not blocked. Avoid using screws that penetrates more than 13 mm into the screw mounts (min. length 10 mm).

180 mm

9.2 MOUNTING IN THE CEILING

An improperly mounted projector is a potential danger to people and equipment. A projector and mount falling down may cause personal injury and material damage. Such damage caused by bad workmanship in mounting and operation may lead to legal action and should be avoided.

Avoid ceiling mounting of the projector in areas of frequent or probable earth quakes.

When fixing the mount in the ceiling, be sure to check the ceiling material and if it will hold the total weight of the mount and the projector. Look for wood, steel beams or concrete that will secure a good and lasting fixture.

Avoid plaster or other fragile materials that do not have sufficient structural properties. Follow the detailed instructions supplied with the ceiling mount for proper mounting and operation.

After having mounted the projector in the ceiling, test if the holding force is sufficient by adding a load to the mount at least double the weight of the combined projector and mount. The mount should hold this extra weight with no sign of fatigue and with no sign of mounting screws loosening.

9.3 WIRING

Ceiling mounted projectors require long signal and power wires.

The signals should be wired using high quality coaxial cable. The cables usually need to be customized. Some vendors have specialized in this field. Contact your dealer for further detail.

If the signal cables run over a longer distance from the source to the projector, a line buffer (distribution amplifier) may be needed (available from third party vendors).

For potential fire reasons, the power wiring should be separately switched so that the projector can be switched off completely when not in use. The ON/OFF on the remote control only suspends operation of the projector without switching off completely.

27


10 YOUR PROJECTOR IN DETAIL

The projector is designed from the ground up to be a compact, durable, bright and versatile device that is suitable for use in various indoors projection applications.

International mandatory regulations are employed, including the rigorous

European CE and American UL and FCC standards that cover safety and radio interference issues.

Product packaging is produced in environmentally friendly materials that are recyclable and that do not emit any toxic fumes if combusted. The

‘RESY’ and ‘Grüne Punkt’ marks are referenced (with ID numbers), indicating that the proper fees are already paid for controlled return of packaging material.

The projector powers down according to the latest standards to minimize power consumption when the source connected becomes inactive (by lack of activity or when the source is switched off). Operation is automatically resumed when the source again becomes active, though some delay is incurred when restarting the projection lamp.

To allow for flexible operation and installation, the unit may be operated from the tabletop, ceiling mounted or in a rear-projection arrangement.

Safe thermal operation is secured through a temperature controlled, well dimensioned cooling system that is minimizing fan noise and stray light.

Compatibility is wide, including most popular computer sources from VGA

(640x480 expanded) to UXGA (1600x1200 compressed) resolution.

A wide mains voltage operating range is employed, and connection is through the internationally recognized IEC connector. The menu system is multi-lingual.

The following chapters detail various features of your projector that may be of interest.

28


10.1 AUTOMATIC SETUP

The projector always seeks to adjust the projected image automatically.

The user may also at any time invoke the autoadjust function by pressing

RESET. When auto is operating, the image will be shifted to different positions on screen for about 5 seconds before it is stabilized.

10.2 TRACKBALL REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control enables both set-up of the projector and control both of the projector and the computer mouse pointer during operation.

The mouse functionality duplicates the local computer mouse without the need for any special software drivers.

10.3 MENU SYSTEM

The menu system is designed so that it may be invoked and overlaid at any time with any image projected. When invoked, the menu system will not interrupt the display of the underlying image. The hierarchical design, with a main menu and sub-menus, provides a logical approach to access the various functions. The localization in the upper left corner and the moderate size of the menus does not block much of the view of the image displayed. Several languages are selectable to suit international users from east and west.

10.4 OSD SYSTEM

The OSD (On Screen Display) is used to echo user controls for positive feedback. The OSD is active both within the menu and with direct controls.

The OSD should not be confused with the menu system, the latter being used to gain access to controls, while the OSD merely indicates the actual operation. The OSD may be selected or deselected in the menu.

10.5 SET-UP MEMORY

The various user selections and settings that are made with the remote control, the projector keypad and the menu system, are automatically memorized for future reference. Most settings are related to the actual source in use, so when switching between sources, or between modes within sources, the individual settings are recalled accordingly.

The memory can store up to 40 different sources and mode characteristics. Some sources are predefined, while the remaining are available for customer set-up. See the compatibility list in the Technical

Data section.

29


New sources are added to the memory only if the sync pattern differs significantly from a previous selection. If a new source is detected as an old one (close or identical sync patterns), and the settings are changed, the new settings will override the old ones.

See the Remote Control and Menu sections for details of which functions that are memorized.

10.6 COOLING SYSTEM

The heat generated in the projection lamp and in the electronics circuitry needs to be effectively vented out of the projector. Cooling fans are employed to force the convection of air through the system. Air is let out close to the projection lamp (as this is the hottest area).

The projector is designed to operate at a wide temperature range and works well when ceiling mounted, even at high ambients. See the technical

Data section for temperature specification.

The cooling system is temperature controlled, so that when operated on the desktop at normal temperature, the noise level is minimized due to a relaxed fan speed. When operating in the ceiling under high temperature ambients, the fan runs at a higher speed to maintain cooling while the noise level increases.

30


11 APPLICATIONS

The projector is perfectly suited for a variety of different applications including CAD/CAM, work groups, teaching, training, home theatres, control rooms, product promotion, shows, simulators and more.

11.1 SIMULATORS

Simulators are used in various applications for training and entertainment.

Professional use includes car driving, air plane and ship vessel control training, as well as other expensive and often dangerous situations that require well trained personnel. Entertainment use is basically in various theme parks etc.

11.2 CAD/CAM ILLUSTRATIONS

In many technical environments engineers use CAD/CAM software to produce their illustrations on workstations. This high resolution projector enables them to show their work in great detail on a large screen. The people involved will be able to discuss layout and details in groups and make on screen alterations while doing so. The projector may be placed on a table or permanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear projection.

11.3 WORK GROUPS

A work group typically involves a group of people actively involved in discussions round the table. The projector usually is connected to a networked computer. As the meeting evolves, various documents are continuously updated and corrected. Information is downloaded from the

Internet or the company Intranet for up-to-date processing in the group. By the end of the session, the documents are wrapped up and minutes are distributed to the various recipients over the e-mail system. The projector may be placed on a table or permanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear projection.

11.4 TEACHING

Educational institutions would use the projector both for traditional computer based teaching for the class, as well as interactive use over the

Internet. By using the projector, the attention of the students is focused on a single large projection screen, supplementing the ordinary, individual computer monitors when needed. The projector may be placed on a table or permanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear projection.

31


11.5 TRAINING

The projector is ideally suited for company training in various areas such as products, software, organisational and staff continued education. It is practical for this purpose to have a dedicated training room with good facilities for each individual in order to secure the attention of each person during the training session. The projector may be placed on a table or permanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear projection.

11.6 CONTROL ROOMS

Large screen projection of critical information enables a quicker and more consistent reaction to any change that needs immediate attention. This includes both manufacturing process control, as well as operational control in private, public and military situations. Several projectors may be cascaded or grouped to simultaneously project over a larger area or to project different screens simultaneously, using a dedicated screen splitter

(available from third party suppliers). These applications are typically fixed and the projectors are usually either ceiling mounted for front projection or arranged in a rear-projection set-up.

11.7 PRODUCT PROMOTION

The projector is ideally suited to attract attention in order to promote sales of all kinds of products in shops and malls. The promotion material may be either computer generated based. Several projectors may be employed simultaneously to increase attention further. The projector is usually semipermanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear projection.

11.8 TRADE SHOWS

Many companies attend various trade shows throughout the year. In these situations, the key issue is to attract the attention of a large, continuously moving public. One or more units projecting your company message will help steering the crowd to your business. The projector might be either placed on the table top, ceiling mounted or used for rear projection. Since control over lighting conditions is difficult at trade shows, arranging two projectors on top of each other projecting, the same image on the same screen will help by increasing the brightness.

11.9 TRANSPORTATION

For all purposes the projector may be placed on a table or permanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear projection. The built-in handle makes it easy to move to another location for different use.

32


12 TROUBLE-SHOOTING

This is a checklist to help you pinpoint any problem that may arise. Check the symptoms carefully if you experience any problem. The cure may be at your fingertips!

Always check that the ON/OFF indicator on the projector flashes when a key on the remote control is pressed. This indicates that the projector is receiving signals from the remote control.

You must boot the computer after the cable has been connected for it to recognise the mouse. If you are unsure whether this was the case, reboot your computer.

34


13 MAINTENANCE

The projector needs very little maintenance in order to function properly.

13.1 GENERAL

Use a damp cloth to wipe off dust on the exterior. Clean the lens with a damp, non-abrasive cloth, using just water or a standard lens cleaning solution available from photographic dealers.

Vacuum the air inlets periodically, especially when build-up of dust is observed. This will ensure cool operation of the unit.

Do not scratch the lens surface. Use the lens cap when the projector is not in use for added protection. Remember to remove the lens cap before operating the unit!

35


13.2 LAMP REPLACEMENT

The projector is using a metal halide lamp for illumination. The lamp is high pressure when hot (operating or immediately after switch-off). Lamp pressure is normal when cold.

A lamp timer is available in the menu system under HELP, ABOUT, that may be used to track lamp operating time. The timer may be reset by the user.

A warning will appear when the estimated lamp lifetime has been exceeded. Please make sure to replace the lamp when this message is displayed.

To change lamp, unscrew the two screws holding the lamp lid. A safety switch will cut off the power supply to the lamp completely when you remove the lid. Unscrew the two screws holding the rear wall, including the reflector, of the lamp house.

Do not touch any parts of the new lamp with your bare hands.

Wear cotton gloves or use the lamp’s plastic wrapping to prevent any fingerprints on the lamp in order to assure high quality brightness.

Use only original lamp as specified. Replacement using a different lamp may result in poor illumination, malfunction

(potentially explosion) and will void any warranties.

To reset the lamp timer, invoke the menu system under OPTIONS,

SERVICE, LAMP TIMER RESET. You need to confirm that you actually intend to reset the lamp timer, or cancel if you accidentally invoked the function.

Do not attempt to power up the unit before completely reassembled!

37


13.3 THE REMOTE CONTROL

The infrared remote control requires little maintenance.

The trackball element may be cleaned occasionally with a damp (not wet) cloth. To take out the ball, twist the ring holding the ball anti-clockwise.

Having taken out the ball, you may also clean the trackball interior using a damp (not wet) cotton swab.

To change the batteries, open the battery holder on the rear of the handset.

Remove the old batteries and dispose of carefully. Insert new batteries of the type described in the Technical Data section, observing the polarity instructions inside the battery holder, and close the clip-shut door. Test that the remote control functions correctly by pressing the LIGHT key to see if the backlighting operates properly.

Function type Comments

Execute

OnOff

Adjust

An execute function executes an action on the projector, i.e. only one state.

An OnOff function has two states, 0 (Off) and 1 (On).

An adjust function is characterized by

Maximum > Minimum.

All the integer values between Minimum and

Maximum are legal e.g. Tune - can be adjusted or set to a specific value within a given range.
