Projector address
The projector's address may be set to any value between 0 and 255 (see
'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.
5.3.1
Using the RCU
The
RCU
is default programmed with address 0,
'zero address'
. With that
'zero address'
programmed into the
RCU, every projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by this
RCU
. If it is necessary to con-
trol 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
.
5.3.2
Displaying a projector address
Press the
ADDRESS
key (recessed key on the
RCU
) with a pencil.
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.
But if you want to enter an address with two digits, e.g. 53, then you have to press “053”, otherwise the pro-
jector will accept the first digit (5) as his address.
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.
5.3.3
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 between 0 and 9.
