Federal communication commission (FCC statement)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Instructions to the user :
if this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, the user may try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures :
- Re-orientation of the receiving antenna for the radio or television.
- Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver.
- Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that the equipment and receiver are on different branch circuits.

Remove the battery cover on the backside by pushing the handle a little towards the bottom of the RCU.
Lift up the top side of the cover at the same time.
Insert the batteries as indicated in the RCU.
Put the battery cover on its place.

Remove the battery cover on the backside by pushing the handle a little towards the bottom of the RCU.
Lift up the top side of the cover at the same time.
Push on the + side of the battery towards the - side
Lift up the battery at the same time.
Repeat for the second battery.
Insert the batteries as indicated in the RCU (battery type AA or LR6 or equivalent).
Put the battery cover on its place.
Note, only important if more than one projector is installed in the room :
1. the common address can be zero (0) or one (1). The standard RCU are setup for common address zero. To change the common address
of the RCU, contact a BARCO service center. If it is necessary to program the projector address into the RCU, see chapter 'Controlling'.
2. projector address has to be reprogrammed everytime the battery is changed, the RCU will always switch to the common address.

Installation Guidelines
2 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Read safety instruction before starting the installation.
Installation Guidelines
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to the optimum
use of the projection system.
* Environment
Max. ambient temperature : 40 °C.
Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C.
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C).
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not excessive.
* Environment condition check
Warning: Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For installations
in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or similar (these deposit
a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading performance), then it is highly
advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean air supply. Devices or structures to extract
or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector
to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial
strength cleaners on a projectors optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronic components. Failure
to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistant and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive
and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be non-effective and impracticable. Damage
of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures warranty and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a
case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that
the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacture reserves
the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
* What about ambient light ?
The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect
sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient light
will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light
on the screen.
Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery
while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection
system in a room whose walls and floor are of non-reflecting material.
The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those
lights to an acceptable level is also important. Too much ambient light
will wash out of the projected image. This appears as less contrast
between the darkest and lightest parts of the image. With bigger
screens, the wash out becomes more important. As a general rule,
darken the room to the point where there is just sufficient light to read
or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small
areas so that interference with the screen is minimal.

Screen width
Installation Guidelines
* Which screen type?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection
equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the
case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount of light
projected toward them. The GAIN of a screen is the term used. Front
and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain. The gain of screens
range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed
aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10) or more. The choice
between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of
personal preference and another consideration called the Viewing
angle.
In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the
viewers will be located and go for the highest gain screen possible.
A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the
viewing angle.
For more information about screens, contact your local screen
supplier.
* What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size (video) from
1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with a aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
* Where to install the projector?
Only when the lens shift is in it's nominal position.
Definitions of the Abbreviation on drawings
Inputs and computer video format input compatibility :
B = Distance between ceiling and top of the screen or
between floor and bottom of the screen.
Some examples :
A = Correction value, distance between bottom side of
projector (without feet) and middle of the lens. Value to be
subtracted from B to obtain the correct installation position. (A
value is a constant value for all screen widths and type of
lenses, A = 124.1 mm or 4.89 inch)
CD = Total distance between projector and ceiling or projector
and floor.
SW = Screen width.
SH = Screen height (image height).

Super VGA : 800 x 600 pixels

PD = Projector Distance, distance between screen and
projector.
Lens type selection.
a) Determine the required screen width.
b) Determine the approximate position of the projector in the projection
room with regard to the screen and measure the
projector-screen distance (PD).
c) Use the lens formulas in appendix B to find the best corresponding
PD with regard to the measured projector-screen distance for the
required screen width.
The desired lens is determined (the order number is given in the tabel
in the same appendix B). Start the installation procedure for the
projector as described in the manual.
