1.1 About the UST lens
Possible mounting positions
This lens can be mounted on the G100 series of projectors and can be mounted in two positions: facing
upwards and to the left. The motor housing must be turned to the correct position before the lens is mounted in
the projector.

2.1 Adapting the lens for the projecting position
Required tools
Allen wrench with long shaft 2 mm
How to adapt
1. Place the lens on a table. Turn out the 6 screws (1). Use an Allen key with a long shaft so that you do not
damage the screw head. These screws will not be reused.
Note: Always use the correct tool (delivered with the kit) to avoid damage to the screw heads !

2. Slide the motor housing a few mm to the backside of the lens (2) to disengage focusing gear and motor
gear.

3. Rotate the motor housing until the chosen marker on the housing corresponds with the reference marking
on the lens body (steps of 30°). See if the mounting holes matches the holes in the lens body.
E.g. if you want to project to the left, then turn the motor housing until the left marking on the motor
housing corresponds with the reference marking on the lens housing.

4. Slide the motor housing back to the front of the lens to re-engage focusing gear and motor gear.
5. Drive in 6 new Allen screws with glue (screws are delivered with the kit). These screws can be multiple
times reused. The turned out old screws can be thrown away.
Use again a tool with a long shaft (Allen wrench 2 mm, delivered with the kit).
The lens is ready to be mounted on the projector.

2.2 Mounting the lens adapter
How to mount
1. Slide the UST-adapter-hook onto the lens input side until it matches the bayonet flang.
2. Secure the adapter hook by turning it clockwise (bayonet fitting).
Image 2–6
Tip: Make sure that the contact points (C) of the lens are not covered by the adapter hook.

3. Slide the UST-adapter cover onto the lens input and over the adapter hook as illustrated. Make sure the
contact points of the cover touch the contact points of the lens.
4. Fasten the adapter cover and hook, using the 7 hex screws provided in the kit.

2.3 When mounting the lens without the support
When to use the safety cable
While it is strongly recommended to use the specifically designed mounting support for this lens in
combination with this lens, it is not mandatory.
When mounting the UST lens in a projector without using the mounting support (not recommended), it is
strongly advised to use the safety cable set provided by Barco instead. Failing to use either the correct type of
safety cable or the mounting support may damage the lens and/or projector.
How to prepare the lens with the safety cable
1. Stick 3 to 4 clips on the surface of the lens body (1).
2. Snap the first loop end of the safety cable into one of the clips.

Image 2–9
3. Slide the rest of the cable around the lens. Click the cable into every clip it passes in the loop.
4. Slide the cable through the loop end at the beginning of the cable (2).
5. Install an U-bolt on the lens holder with the open ends oriented outwards (3). Make sure that both a part of
the loop end and the outgoing part of the safety cable are placed in the enclosure.
6. Close the U-bolt and tighten it.
Mounting the lens

Note: Make sure the safety cable is tightened around the lens before tightening the U-bolt nuts.
7. Place the shackle through the free loop end of the safety cable.
8. Mount the lens in the projector.
9. Secure the safety cable around the truss and secure the shackle by turning the safety ring of the shackle
over the open end.
2.4 Mounting the UST lens
Required tools
•Allen wrench 5 mm
•Allen wrench 3 mm
Required parts
•Base plate
•Lens holder module
•Lens clamp module
•Hex screws M6 (x3)
How to mount?
1. Turn the projector on its top cover.
2. If the projector is to be mounted in the UDX frame, make sure to first mount the frame adapter plate.
Note: For more information on how to mount the adapter plate and mounting the projector in the
rigging frame, see the projector installation manual.
3. Place the bottom support plate on the bottom plate of the projector as illustrated. Make sure that the
fixation holes match the holes in the bottom plate.
Image 2–10 Mount bottom plate on the front side of the projector
Tip: The blue circle is the ideal screw location
4. Drive in the three M6 screws. Use a 5 mm Allen wrench.
5. Turn the projector back on its feet.
Note: If the projector is to be mounted in the rigging frame, do this first. For more information,
see the installation manual of the G100.
6. Carefully insert the lens into the lens holder.

7. Slide the lens holder module onto the base plate.
8. Drive in the screws partially, but do not fasten yet! It must be possible to move the plate a little bit while
mounting the other plates.

Tip: Adapt the lens clamp module, depending on how the lens has been mounted. If the lens
points to the left, use the full lens clamp. If the lens points upward, only use the bottom part.

10. In the case the lens points to the left side of the projector, you can also secure the lens and adapter plate
with 3 hex screws.

How to adjust the lens
1. Shift the lens to the desired position as much as possible using the lens holder and software. Adjust with
hand if necessary.

Image 2–18
2. Once the desired position has been reached, tighten the vertical shifting screws (2 and 3).
3. Fine-tune the tilt of the projected image, using screw 5. Using this method, you can adjust ±7.5°.
Image 2–19
Tip: Turning screw 5 clockwise will tilt the image counterclockwise. Turning the screws
counterclockwise will tilt the image clockwise.
Image 2–20
4. Fine-tune the focus of the projected image vertically, using points A and B on the following image as
reference points. The resolution/balance between both points should be the same.
•Use the focus software feature to help focus the image.
•Use adjustment screw 6 to help focus the image.
•Use the focus ring at the end of the lens to help focus the image.
•If necessary, loosen screws 2 and 3 a bit to push the lens a bit upward or downward to spot any
variation in image quality.

5. Fine-tune the focus of the projected image horizontally, using points C and D on the following image as
reference points. The resolution / balance between both points should be the same.
•If the balance is a bit off, gently move the lens horizontally to see if this makes any difference.
•Use the focus ring at the end of the lens to help focus the image.

6. Once shift, tilt and focus is all as desired, tighten adjustment screws 1 –4.
7. Have a final check, using the focus feature and the focus ring of the lens. Repeat all previous steps if the
end result is not as desired.
