5.0 REMOTE CONTROL
This section describes the controls and switches used for basic projector operation once it is properly installed,
aligned and configured.
5.1
Using the Remote Keypad or Built-In Keypad
The projector is typically controlled using one of the following keypads:
•
Remote Keypad for wired or wireless control up to 25 feet (8m) away (includes cable for use as a wired remote).
The remote keypad controls the projector by way of wireless communications from a batterypowered infrared
(IR) transmitter. Use the remote keypad the same way you would use a remote keypad supplied with a TV or
VCR. When pressing a function key, direct the keypad toward the projector’s front or rear IR sensor. One of the
two IR sensors on the projector will detect the signal and relay the commands for internal processing. A laser
pointer is built into the remote keypad. See Figure “Remote Keypad”, page 28.
•
Built-in Keypad located at the side of the projector, see Figure “Built-in Keypad with LCD”, page 32.
While each of the keypads provides complete control of the projector, they differ slightly in their arrangement of keys
and in what functions can be accessed directly with a key press rather than requiring use of the menu system. You
may find one keypad more convenient than another for your specific installation and application.
5.2
Guide to Keypads
Keep these guidelines (common to both keypads) in mind:
• Press keys one-at-a-time; there are no simultaneous key combinations required.
NOTE: Use POWER, SHUTTER, and OSD functions by doing one of the following: “press-and-hold” (2 seconds) or
press twice quickly, followed by pressing either the UP ARROW KEY to switch on or the DOWN ARROW KEY to
switch off once.
• Arrow keys are held down for continuous adjustment/movement in the related key direction. NOTE: In serial
networks, pause briefly between adjustments to make sure that more distant projectors can “keep up” with the
commands. If you press a key while the projector is still responding to the previous action, such as during power-up,
the second key press may not take effect.
Wired Remote Keypad
You can convert the Remote Keypad into a wired remote keypad using the cable provided with the projector.
Connect one end into the remote and the other to the XLR connector on the input panel labeled [wired keypad]. The
wired remote is recommended when:
•
The built-in keypad is inaccessible
•
The lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission
You should leave the batteries in the wired remote for the laser pointer key to work.
Convert the Remote Keypad into a Wired Remote Keypad
Laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in the remote. DO NOT look directly into the beam of the
laser.
