CYCLOPS (2001-12) R5976426 6-11
6.1 RCU used in a hardwired configuration
Connections:
Plug one end of the remote cable in the connector on the bottom of the
RCU
Plug the second side in the connector in the front panel of the projector labelled 'RC'.
6.2 How to use the RCU?
Point the front of the
RCU directly at the screen.
When using the wireless remote control, make sure you are within the effective op-
erating 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 IR sensor.
6.3 Projector address
The projector's address may be set to any value between 0 and 255 (see 'Change projector address'
in chapter 'Service mode). When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now by the
RCU
for addresses between 0 and 9.
The projector can also be controlled by computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc.
for addresses between 0 and 255.
A projector will respond to a RCU set to an address of '0' regardless of what address
is set in the projector itself.
6.3.1 Using the RCU
The RCU is default programmed with address 0, 'zero address'. With that 'zero address' pro-
grammed into the RCU, every projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by
this
RCU. If it is necessary to control a specific projector, than enter the projector address into the
RCU (only when that address is between 0 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address
will listen to that specific
RCU.
6.3.2 Displaying 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 with that specific address, it is necessary to enter the same address with
the
digit buttons (address between 0 and 9) within 5 seconds after pushing the address key. 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 003 digits. This will address
the remote control to '0' and control all projectors in the room.
If the address is not entered within 5 seconds, the
RCU returns to its default address (zero address)
and control all projectors in the room.
6.3.3 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 within 5 seconds after pushing the
address key. That address can be any digit be-
tween 0 and 9.
