Battery Installation in the RCU
A battery (not yet installed to save the battery life time) is delivered inside the plastic bag with
the power cord. Before using the RCU, start the battery installation procedure.
Remove the battery cover on the backside of the remote control by pushing the indicated handle
a little to the bottom of the RCU. Lift up the top side of the cover at the same time (fig.1)
Insert the new 9 V battery in the lower compartment and connect the battery to the contact plate.
Put the cover back on.
Note: the projector address has to be programmed on the RCU before using the RCU (see
chapter 'Controlling').

The projector can be controlled with
a. the RCU
b. the hardwired RCU (cable is not included)
c. the local keypad.
Controlling the projector with the RCU and the hardwired RCU is equal.
How to Use the RCU?
a) Point the front of the RCU to the reflective screen surface.
Ceiling
Screen
IR sensor
RCU
b) 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 front panel of
the projector labelled 'CTRL'.
c) Point the front of the RCU directly at one of the IR sensors of 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 IR sensor.
Projector Address
a. Software Set Up of the Projector Address.
See 'Change projector address' in chapter 'Service mode'.
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255
which can be set in the Service mode. Only projectors with
addresses between 0 and 9 can be controlled with the RCU.
b. How to Control the Projector or Projectors.
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 :
- RCU for addresses between 0 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.
c. Using the RCU.
Before using the 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.

How to Display a Projector Address?
Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
The projector's address will be displayed in a 'Text box'. This text box
disappears after a few seconds.
To continue using the RCU, it is necessary to enter the same address
with the digit buttons (address between 0 and 9). For example : if
the Address key displays projector address 003, then press "3" digit
button on the RCU to set the RCU's address to match the projector's
address. Do not press digit 003. This will address the remote to '0'
and control all projectors in the room.
How to Program an Address into the
RCU?
Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil and
enter the address with the digit buttons. That address can be any
digit between 0 and 9.
