On illumination
Inordertoobtainthebestqualityfortheprojectedimage,itisessential
that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen be kept to
an absolute minimum.
Wheninstallingtheprojectorandscreen,care mustbetakentoavoid
exposure to ambient light directly on the screen. Avoid adverse
illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting
fixtures.
The use of controlled ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot
light or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination.
Where possible, care should also be taken to ensure that the floors
andwalls of theroomin whichtheprojector is tobeinstalled are non-
reflecting, dark surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and
diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of the
projected image on the screen.

3INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Installation guidelines
Carefulconsiderationofthingssuchasimagesize,ambientlight
level,projectorplacement and typeofscreentouseare critical
to optimize the use of the projection system.
Environment
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 the temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
What about ambient light ?
The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect
sunlightandthelightfixturesintheroom.Theamountofambientlight
will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light
on the screen as much as possible.
Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery
while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projecting
systeminaroomwhosewallsandfloorareofnon-reflectingmaterial.
The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those
lightstoanacceptablelevelisalsoimportant.Toomuchambientlight
results in a ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less
contrast between the darkest and lightest parts of the image. With
biggerscreens,the‘washout’becomesmoreimportant.Asageneral
rule,darken the roomtothe point wherethereis just sufficientlightto
read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating
small areas so that interference with the screen is minimal. What image size? How big should the image
be?
The BARCOGRAPHICS 1208s is designed for projecting an image
widthfrom1.4m(4.6')to6m(20') withanaspectratioof4to3.Itleaves
the BARCO factory, adjusted as a ceiling/front projector for a screen
width of 2.4m. Changing the image size from the factory preset size
requires a realignment of the projector.
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 case
of rear projection systems) given a determined amount of light
projectedtowardthem.The‘GAIN’ofascreenisthetermused. 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
aluminizedscreenwithagainof 10 (x10) or more. Anotherimportant
considerationis the degreethescreen's gain varieswiththehorizon-
tal and vertical viewing angle. The choice between higher and lower
gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference.
In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the
viewerswillbelocatedandgo for the highest gainscreenpossible. A

Where to install the projector ?
To indicate a correct installation position it is necessary to know :
❒thedistance from projectorto ceiling incase of ceilingmounted;or
the distance from projector to floor in case of Table mounted;
r the distance from projector to screen.
To find this correct position for the BARCOGRAPHICS 1208s,
equipped with HD8 lenses, use the following formulas:
❒Install the projector water levelled in both directions
❒Install the projector perpendicular to the screen
PD[inch] = 1.269 x SW[inch] + 13.78
A[cm] = 0.12 x SW[inch] - 11.32
In metric :
In inch :
PD[m] = 1.269 x SW[m] + 0.3506
A[cm] = 12 x SW[m] - 28.75
Abbreviations used in the calculations and the drawings :
B = Distancebetweenceilingandtopofthescreen(ceilingmounted)
Distancebetweenfloorandbottomofthescreen(tablemounted)
A = Correction Value, extra value to be added to B to obtain the
correct installation position (In some cases the A value can be
negative)
CD = Totaldistancebetweenprojectorand ceiling (ceiling mounted)
Total distance between projector and floor (table mounted)
CD = A + B
Ceiling Mounted : when the result is negative, enlarge the
distance between ceiling and top of the screen, mount screen
lower, until CD becomes zero or positive.
Table Mounted : when the result is negative, enlarge the
distancebetweenfloorandbottomofthescreen,mountscreen
higher, until CD becomes zero or positive.
SW= Screen width
PD = Perpendicular distance between screen and projector
To obtain the right values, you can make use of the new option
included in the Installation Adjustment Mode to let the projector
calculatethe parametersautomatically. Please refer to Chapter8 for
details.

is determined by the position of DIP Switch No. 4 of another set of 8
DIPswitchesonthecontrollerunit(one set of 8 switchesareusedfor
projector address setting).
Position of the DIP Switch No. 4 (power up mode) :
ON : operational mode
OFF: stand-by mode
Source 2
Fh= 15.6 kHz
Fv= 50 Hz
❒❒ Operational mode
When the power switch on the rear of the projector is pressed, the
projector displays the last selected source if available, otherwise it
remains on that source number until the source becomes available.
The on screen indication is only available when the "Text" function is
set to "ON".
❒❒ Stand-By mode
When the power switch on the rear of the projector is pressed, the
projectorstartsupinthestand-bymode.Thestand-bykeyontheRCU
is used to turn the projector ON and OFF.
Position of DIP switches and baud rate codes :
Baud Rate for communication with a
computer
The communication speed between the projector and the computer
has8 possiblesettings. With DIP SwitchNo. 6,No.7 and No.8of the
8 DIP switches on the controller unit, labelled as ‘Baud rate code
(sum)’, it is possible to select the baud rate (communication speed).
Each DIP switch has its own decimal value. The sum of the values
associated to those DIP switches gives the baud rate code. Each
baud rate code corresponds an communication speed.

AC Power check
Check the power voltage which is determined by the ART. NR.
(Article number) included in the label pasted on the backside of the
projector.
Projectors with the ART. NR. R9000901 must be connected to a 230
VAC power source.
Projectors with the ART. NR. R9000908 must be connected to a 120
VAC power source.
If the indicated voltage is different from that of the wall outlet, call a
qualified technician for power adaptation of the projector.
AC Input power (mains) voltage adaptation
Attention !
The BARCOGRAPHICS 1208s - R9000893 leaves the factory to
operate on a mains (power) input of 230 Vac.
The BARCOGRAPHICS 1208s - R9000896 leaves the factory to
operate on a mains (power) input of 120 Vac.
Adaptation of the power input of the projector between 230 Vac
and 120Vac or vice versa is possible.
Follow the procedure as described below to adapt the voltage :
➊WARNING: turn off the projector and be sure the AC Power
Cord is unplugged before starting the procedure !
➋Open the top cover (see 'Access to controls' on p.4-1).
➌Unscrew the retaining screws of the power input protection
plate.
➍Remove the power input protection by sliding it a little back-
wards and lifting it up.
➎ Pull out the 'power selector plug' and re-insert it as illustrated in
the drawing, depending on the wall outlet in the room.
➎Pull out the fuses and place the correct fuses in their sockets.
See the table on next page for the correct type of fuses.
➏Re-installthe protectionplate. Insert the theplate untilthe pins
fitintothegroovesofthebottomplate. Therightsideoftheplate
must be pushed behind the metal frame. The notch fits around
the bolt. Secure the correct position by turning in the 3 screws.
