OPERATION

3.3Using the Keypad The keypad appears in two locations:

Infrared (IR) Remote for wireless control up to 100 feet away Wired Remote (optional) tethered to the rear of the projector

While each keypad is identical in layout and provides complete control of the projector, you may find one keypad more convenient than another for your specific installation and application.

IR Remote

The IR Remote Keypad controls the projector by way of wireless communications from a battery- powered infrared (IR) transmitter. Use the IR remote keypad the same way you would use a remote keypad supplied with a TV or VCR. When making key presses, point the keypad either toward the screen or toward the front or rear of the projector. One of two sensors on the projec- tor will detect the signals and relay the commands for internal processing.

Wired Remote (OPTIONAL)

The wired remote keypad connects to the 3-pin XLR jack via a 50 ft. cable. It is recommended when:

the lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission you want to use a separate keypad for each projector in a group

Guide to Keypads

Keep in mind the following guidelines:

1)Press keys one-at-a-time; there are no simultaneous key presses required.

2)For any key having an “*”( Power* for example), hold the key for approximately 1 second in order to toggle the function with a single key press. For other keys (or to use a “*” key in con- junction with ON or OFF ), a momentary press similar to a mouse click is sufficient.

3)Press the “lightbulb key” to temporarily illuminate the backlight for the keys without sending any other command.

4)

5)If you press a key while the projector is busy with another action, such as during a power-up, the key press may not take effect.

Keypad Commands

Specific keypad commands are explained below:

Power*

Input1

Power ON/OFF

Press and hold for approximately 1 second to turn the projector on or off with a single key press. Or press Power* followed immediately by ON or OFF if you want to guarantee the correct toggle (useful if you are unsure of the present status).

NOTES: 1) Whenever the projector is turned off, the lamp cooling fans remain on for about five minutes to cool the lamp. 2) It is a good idea to avoid turning a projector back on until it has been off for a few minutes. Hot re-strikes of the lamp may reduce lamp life.

Input 1

Press Input1 to select the source connected to INPUT 1 on the projector (data input). This is the same as entering.
