Controlling
4-2 5975847 BARCOGRAPHICS 1208s 220197
The BARCOGRAPHICS 1208s can be controlled with
a. the RCU
b. the hardwired RCU (cable not included)
c. the built-in RCU (local keypad)
The procedure and results of controlling the projector with either of
these RCU options is essentially the same.
How to use your RCU
a) Point the front of the RCU towards the reflective screen surface
b) Point the front of the RCU towards one of the IR sensors in the
projector.
When using the wireless remote control, make sure you are within the
effective operating distance (30m, 100ft in a straight line). The
remote control unit will not function properly if strong light strikes the
sensor window or if there are obstacles between the remote control
unit and the projector's IR sensor.
IR Receiver Locations on the Projector:
c) RCU used in a hardwired configuration.
Plug one end of the remote cable in the connector on the bottom of
the RCU and the second side in the connector in the rear panel of the
BARCOGRAPHICS 1208s labelled 'REMOTE'.
d) Built-in RCU (local keypad)
To gain access to the built-in RCU, see paragraph 'The local keypad'
Projector Address

a. hardware set up of the projector address.

Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255
which is set with hardware DIP switches inside the projector. To
change that address, contact a BARCO authorized technician.

b. How to control the projector.

The projector's address may be set to any value between 0 and 255.
When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now with :
- the RCU for addresses between 1 and 9.
- computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for
addresses between 0 and 255.
Note : a projector will respond to a RCU set to an address of '0'
regardless of what address is set in the projector itself. Address "O"
is therefore a universal address.

c. Using your RCU.

Before using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the projector address
into the RCU (only when that address is between 1 and 9). The
projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific
RCU.
When address 0, 'zero address' is programmed into the RCU, every
projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by this
RCU.
