2INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Installation gui elines
Careful consideration of things as image size, ambient light level,
projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to the
optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 40 °C.
Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C.
The projector will not operate if ambient temperature falls outside this
range (0 °C - 40 °C).
* 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 temperature near the installation site.
* What about ambient light ?
The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect
sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient light
will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light
on the screen.
Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery
while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projecting
system in a room whose walls and floor are of non-reflecting material.
The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those
lights to an acceptable level is also important. Too much ambient light
results in a washing out of the projected image. That appears as
less contrast between the darkest and lightest parts of the image.
With bigger screens, the washing out becomes more important. As
a general rule, darken the room to the point where there is just
sufficient light to read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable
for illuminating small areas so that interference with the screen is
minimal.
* 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 the
case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount of light
projected toward them. The GAIN of a screen is the term used. 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
aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10) or more. The choice
between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of
personal preference and another consideration called the iewing
angle.
In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the
viewers will be located and go for the highest gain screen possible.
A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the
viewing angle.
For more information about screens, contact your local screen
supplier
* What image size? How big should the image be?
The BARCOGRAPHICS 2100 is designed for projecting an image size
from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (20ft) with a aspect ratio of 4 to 3.

6CONTROLLING
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.
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 a ress
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.
