1.1 General
Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1, EN60950-1,
UL60950-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, which are the safety standards of information technology equipment including
electrical business equipment. These safety standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components,
materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard, and having
access to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical
stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing ensures
the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.

Restricted access location

The FLM R20+ Performer may only be installed in a restricted access location, due to the temperature rise of parts of the equipment
(air outlet).

 1. Safety

To prevent personal injury

• Caution: High pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. The customer
should never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing or to dispose of the lamp casing other than by returning it to Barco.
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before inserting the lamp casing,
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 4 persons are needed to carry the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all cover plates are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to the eye.
• Before attempting to remove any of the projector’s covers, you must turn off the projector and disconnect from the wall outlet.
• When performing setup work to a ceiling mounted projector, to prevent injury caused by falling objects or the system, set out
a keep out area.
• Consult a professional structural engineer prior to suspending the projector from a structure not intended for that use. Always
ensure that the working load limit of the structure can handle the load of the projector.
• Never stack more than two (2) FLM projectors in a hanging configuration (truss) and never stack more than three (3) FLM
projectors in a base stand configuration (table mount).
• The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector, to
access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not
accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be easily
accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and
possible injury to the user.
• When mounting the projector to the ceiling or to a rigging system, always mount security chains.
• Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation: Do not look directly in the light beam. The lamp contained in this product is
an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin
hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and
your employees by making them aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin can be accomplished
by wearing tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV can be accomplished by wearing safety glasses
that are designed to provide UV protection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be
considered when choosing protective eye wear.
• Exposure to UV radiation: Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an-8hour day to be
less than 0.1 microwatts per square centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure
employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines.

To prevent projector damage

• If the Air Filters are not regularly replaced, the air flow inside the projector could be disrupted, causing overheating. Overheating
may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
• In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
requirements, it should always be operated with all of it’s covers in place.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The
projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement under and around the projector. Loose papers or other objects
may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.
• The projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation
of the hot air exhausted from its cooling system. Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air.
Leave at least a free safety area of 1 meter (40”) at the rear of the projector.
• Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and unplug the mains
supply immediately. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualified service technicians.
• Consult a professional structural engineer prior to suspending the ceiling mount from a structure not intended for that use.
Always ensure the working load limit of the structure supporting the projector.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power laser equipment. Direct or indirect
hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices TM in which case there is a loss of warranty.
• Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For
maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution.
• To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective
coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent
solution, or thinner.

1. Safety

To prevent battery explosion

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly installed.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instruction.

To prevent fire hazard

• Warning “Risk of fire”. Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector !
This projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation, which is both normal
and safe. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous
ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all
external surfaces of the projector whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not
less than 40 cm (16”) for all Barco DLP projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 2 meter (80”).
• Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation.
• To reduce the lamp heat of the projector, switch the projector first to standby and let the projector lamp cool down for at least 5
minutes. Then the projector may be switched off with the power switch.
• Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light.
• Never expose the projector to rain or moisture.
• In the event of fire, use sand, CO 2, or dry powder fire extinguishers; never use water on an electrical fire.
• This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
• This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat.

On servicing
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials
and risk of electric shock.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Fence off a restricted area of at least 3 meters around the projector using an eye-catching fence and “KEEP OUT” sings. This
to prevent unauthorized persons coming near the projector during servicing.
• Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service technicians under the following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
- If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of the other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
- If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• Replacement parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original Barco replacement
parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the Barco original part. Unauthorized substitu-
tions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may
void warranty.
• Safety check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

1.3 Important warnings concerning FLM flight cases

Important warnings concerning stacking/transporting FLM rental flight cases
• Stack maximum two (2) FLM rental flight cases high. Never higher.
• Surface on which flight case is standing must be level to ensure that the total load is evenly spread out among the four wheels.
The surface must also be able to support the load safely.
• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check the wheels and their fixation screws for wear or defects.
• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check that the four lock handles on each flight case are in good working order and
locked securely.
• When stacked, make sure the wheels of the upper flight case are precisely positioned in the stacking dishes of the flight case
below.
• Stacked flight cases may not be moved. Before stacking, the lower flight case must already be in its final resting position before
placing the second upon it.
• Never stack loaded flight cases in a truck or other transport medium, unless each flight case is rigidly strapped tight.
• In the event of a wheel breaking, flight cases must be rigidly strapped tight to prevent a stack collapsing.
• Use an appropriate forklift to raise flight cases and take the necessary precautions to avoid personnel injury.

About this chapter
Read this chapter before installing your FLM R20+ Performer. It contains important information concerning installation requirements
for the FLM R20+ Performer, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions, required safety
area around the installed projector, required power net, compatible signal sources, etc.
Furthermore, careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use
are critical to the optimum use of the projection system.

Overview
• Installation requirements
• Unpacking the projector
• Box content
• FLM flight case
• Projector configurations
• Projector air inlets and outlets
• Free download of Projector Toolset

2.1 Installation requirements

Ambient temperature conditions
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for an operating Barco FLM R20+ Performer may not exceeds +40 ºC (+104 ºF).
The minimum allowed ambient temperature for an operating Barco FLM R20+ Performer may not drop below +10 ºC (+50 ºF).
The projector will not operate if the ambient air temperature falls outside this range (+10 ºC → +40 ºC or +50 ºF → +104 ºF). Be
aware that room heat rises to the ceiling. Check if the temperature near the installation site is not excessive.
The minimum storage temperature is -35 ºC (-31 ºF) and the maximum storage temperature is +65 ºC (+149 ºF).

Humidity conditions
Storage: 0 to 98% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Operation: 0 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.

Projector weight
Do not underestimate the weight of one Barco FLM R20+ Performer, which is about ±100 kg (±225 lb.). Be sure that the table or
truss installation on which the projector(s) has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the complete
system.

Power requirements
One Barco FLM R20+ Performer requires 200-240 VAC, 50–60 Hz, 16 amps at 230 VAC.

Clean air environment

A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contam-
inants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will
be noneffective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer’s warranty
and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
knowingly neglect, abandon or improper use.

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.

R5976921 FLM R20+ PERFORMER 25/04/2006 9

2. General

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 (x 1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x 10)
or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration
called the viewing 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 projector is designed for projecting an image size : minimum 1 meter (3.3 ft.) to maximum 18 meter (59 ft.) (depending on the
ambient light conditions), with an aspect ratio of 4 to 3.

2.2 Unpacking the projector

What has to be done ?
At delivery the projector is packed in a carton box upon a wooden pallet and secured with banding and fastening clips. Furthermore,
to provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam. Once the projector is arrived at the installation
site, it has to be removed from the carton box and wooden pallet in a safe manner without damaging the projector.

Necessary tools
• Side cutter.
• 8 mm Allen key.

How to unpack the projector ?

1. Remove the banding around the carton box, by releasing the fastening clips as illustrated, and remove the top cover.

Image 2-1

2. Remove the power cord, which is attached to the packaging with a cable ties, and the two smaller carton boxes, located between
the inner carton sleeve and outer carton box.
Note: The two smaller carton boxes contain the manuals, the remote control unit (RCU), two standard batteries size AA and
four rigging clamps for projector suspension.

 2. General

3. Remove the carton box, the inner carton sleeve and the foam around the projector. See image 2-2.
Note: The projector is still attached to a wooden plate, which is detached from the below pallet.
4. Gently turn the projector upside down to gain access to the four bolts, which secure the projector. Note that this wooden plate is
detached from the pallet.
Tip: Lay a blanket (or the earlier removed foam) on the floor to protect the projector housing form scratches while turning.

Image 2-3

5. Remove the wooden plate from the projector bottom, by releasing the four bolts. Use an 8 mm Allen key. See image 2-3.
6. Gently turn the projector back on its feet.
7. Remove the foam rubber around the carrying handle.

Save the original shipping carton and packing material, they will be necessary if you ever have to ship your
projector. For maximum protection, repack your projector as it was originally packed at the factory.

A rubber foam inside a plastic bag is placed into the lens opening of the projector. It’s recommended to reuse
this foam and plastic back each time you transport the projector. This to prevent intrusion of dust and foreign
particles.

Initial inspection
Before shipment, the projector was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. As soon as the projector is
unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Save all packing material until the inspection is completed. If
damaged is found, file claim with carrier immediately. The Barco sales and service office should be notified as soon as possible.

The packaging of the FLM R20+ Performer is provided with a shock-watch label. If this shock-watch label was
triggered (red colored at arrival) during transport, indicates that the package was possibly roughly handled by
the transport company. In this case, the instructions mentioned on the label, should be followed, which are:
adding a note on the “bill of lading” and informing the transport company and the Barco sales and service
office as soon as possible.

Mechanical check
This check should confirm that there are no broken knobs or connectors, that the cabinet and panel surfaces are free of dents and
scratches, and that the meter face and operating panel are not scratched of cracked. The Barco sales and service office should be
notified as soon as possible.

The projector should be installed at right angles (horizontally and vertically) to the screen at a distance PD. Note the distance (A)
between lens centre and table surface is slightly variable. This distance (A) is nominal 35 cm in case all feet are turned in completely
and the vertical lens shift is set to zero (0).

On-Axis / Off-Axis projection

The position of the projector with reference to the screen may also be different depending on the installation. Basically the projector
can be positioned in On-Axis or Off-Axis configuration. On-Axis configuration means that the projector is positioned so as to have
the centre of the lens coinciding with the centre of the screen. Off-Axis projection is obtained by shifting the lens up, down, left or
right. Several parameters can be calculated determining the position in any installation.
Formula to calculate the distance CD for On-Axis projection: CD = SH/2 + B - A

Shift range
The lens can be shifted with respect to the DMD (P) which result in a shifted image on the screen (Off-Axis). A 100% shift means that
the centre point of the projected image is shifted by half the screen size. In other words, the centre point of the projected image falls
together with the outline of the image in an On-Axis projection. Due to mechanical and optical limitations it’s recommended to keep
the shift values within the field of view (F) as illustrated below. Within these shift ranges the projector and lens perform excellently.
Configuring the projector outside these shift ranges will result in a slight decline of image quality.

It’s mechanical possible to shift outside the recommended field of view (±100% UP/DOWN and ±70%
LEFT/RIGHT), but this will result in a slightly decline of image quality depending on the used lens and the
zoom position of the used lens. Furthermore, shifting too much in both directions will result in a blurred
image corner.

Best image quality is projected in the On-Axis configuration.

Horizontal and vertical projector tilt ranges

The projector can be rotated and mounted at any vertical angle. In other words, you can tilt the lens side of the projector as much
as desired for your application. Side to side tile, however, must not exceed 15°. This limit ensures that the lamp in the projector
operates properly and safely.

CAUTION: Always respect the allowed tilt range of the projector. Neglecting this will result in lamp flicker,
which reduces the light output and the life span of the lamp substantially. Furthermore, in the long term, the
possibility exist that the lamp explodes.

Available lenses for the FLM R20+ Performer

The TLD and the TLD HB (High Brightness) lens series can be used on the FLM R20+ Performer. Note that there is no physical
difference on the outside between the TLD and the TLD HB lenses with corresponding focal length. The TLD HB lenses are recom-
mended on the FLM R20+ Performer. Note that the classical TLD lenses have approximately 20% less light output compared to the
TLD HB lenses, but 25% more contrast.

The throw ratio of TLD (HB) lenses is slightly reduced when used on FLM projectors. The reason of this
decrease is the larger active field of the SXGA+ DMD chip set used in the FLM projector.

3.2.2 Lens selection

How to select the right lens for your application ?

1. Determine the required screen width (SW).
2. Determine the position of the projector in the projection room with regard to the screen and measure the projector-screen distance
(PD).
3. Use the lens formulas (see "Lens formulas", page 21) to find the best corresponding PD with regard to the measured projector-
screen distance for the required screen width SW.
Tip: Divide PD by SW to determine the approximately required throw ratio. Choose a lens, which captures the calculated
throw ratio. Use the lens formula of the chosen lens to recalculate exactly.

4.2 Aligning stacked FLM projectors

Necessary tools
8 mm Allen key.

How to align two stacked FLM projectors ?

1. Make sure that the internal hatch pattern projected by the reference projector is sharp and has a perfect rectangle outline. If this
is not the case, readjust the reference projector before aligning the other stacked projector(s) with the reference hatch pattern.
Note: The reference projector in a stacked configuration is the lowest projector in case of table mount and the uppermost
projector in case of ceiling mount.
2. Project with the stacked projector the same internal hatch pattern as the reference projector.
Tip: Use a white colored hatch pattern for the reference projector and e.g. green colored for the stacked projector. This
makes it easier to see the different between both hatch patterns projected.
3. If necessary, adjust the rotation of the stacked projector with respect to the reference projector by turning in or out the height
adjustment ring of the interlocking adaptors at the rear of the stacked projector. Adjust until the outline of the hatch pattern is
most symmetric with the reference hatch pattern.
Tip: You can increase leverage by using a screw driver in the holes of the adjustment ring

5.1 Power connection

CAUTION: Use only the power cord provided with the projector.

How to connect your projector with the local power net ?

1. Ensure that the power switch (S) stands in the “0” (OFF) position.
2. Connect the power cord (P) with the power input socket of the projector as illustrated below.
3. Secure the power plug by locking the plug holder clamp (H).
4. Connect the other end of the power cord with the local power net.
Caution: Ensure that the power net meets the power requirements of the projector, which are: 200-240 VAC, 50–60 Hz, 16
amps at 230 VAC.

R5976921 FLM R20+ PERFORMER 25/04/2006 33

5. Connections

The voltmeter (M) will immediately indicate the value of the mains voltage as soon as the projector is connected with the power
net.

P S

Image 5-2

WARNING: Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified voltage and power
range.

CAUTION: Once the projector is switched to standby, the lamp cooling fans will continue to run for approx-
imately five minutes to ensure that the projector and lamp have sufficiently cooled, at which point the fans
will automatically decrease to standby. To avoid thermal stress that can lead to premature lamp failure, never
unplug the line cord while the lamp cooling fans are running, and never unplug to power down.

Fuses
The projector is protected with an automatic circuit breaker of 35 A which is built in into the power switch.

Volt meter
After starting up the projector (lamp ignition) check if the value indicated by the volt meter is still within the specified power range of
the projector. Note that in case the power net drops significantly during start up, the lamp will fail the ignite. If this is the case, take
the necessary measures to reinforce the power net to the projector before starting up the projector again.

Spare power plug

The projector is delivered with a spare power plug. This spare power plug is attached behind the nameplate of the projector. Remove
the cover of the lamp first to access this spare power plug, see "Removal of the lamp cover", page 133. Note that only qualified
technical personnel may install a new power plug.

5.2 Input source connections

General
The input and communication unit is equipped with four input slots, which accept any type of input module designed for the FLM
projector. The modularity of the input modules makes the FLM projector very flexible regarding input source connectivity. Note that
the slot numbering is done from top to bottom. So, the uppermost slot is slot number “1”, the second is slot number “2”... etc. All
input modules have two status LED’s. The green LED lights up if the input module is selected as the active input module. The yellow
LED lights up if the input module has detected valid input syncs.

Projector status
The projector “status” LED (B) lights up green while in operation. The same LED lights up red when the projector is switched to
standby.
Besides the projector status LED (B) the communication interface has also a “warning” LED (A) which blinks in case the projector
encounters an internal problem concerning fan speed, temperature, supply voltages, ... etc. These type of problems still allows
the projector to operate (the show can go on) but an action will be required within a short time period. More information about the
involved problem is given on the local LCD display of the projector.
A two character 7-segment display (C) shows, during normal operation, the selected input slot number. If an error has occurred then
an error code appears on this two digit LED display.

IR communication (RC5)
An IR receiver (D) is mounted on the communication interface. Note that there is also an IR receiver mounted at the front and at the
rear of the projector. When using the remote control unit (wired or wireless), the “IR REC” (I) and the “IR OK” (J) LED’s will light up
indicating an IR signal was received and recognized.

Wired remote control

If desired the remote control unit can be wired and plugged in into the 3,5 mm mini jack socket (L) or, when using a rugged wire
with XLR plugs, plugged in into the male XLR port (M) on the communication interface. Besides the XLR input port a female XLR
connector (N) for wired RC5 output is provided. This connector creates a buffered RC5 signal, available for the next projector in
the daisy chain. Whenever the projector has no power, a passive loop through is created from the remote control input port to the
female XLR output port (N). So, the following projector in the daisy chain will still receive his RC5 code. Note that the RC5 in/out
signals are without carrier.

RS232/422 serial communication

The communication interface of the FLM R20+ Performer supports RS232 and RS422 serial communication. You can use the
RS232/RS422 input port (O) to connect a local PC to your FLM projector. This way you can configure and control your FLM projector
from your local PC.

Do not forget to set the projector’s baud rate (default = 115200) to match that of the computer.

The communication interface has also an active RS232/RS422 loop through output port (E). Whenever the projector has no power, a
passive loop through is created from the RS232/RS422 input port (O) to the RS232/RS422 output port (E). So, the following projector
in the daisy chain will still receive his RS232/RS422 commands.
Advantages of using RS232/RS422 serial communication:

• easy adjustment of the projector via PC (or MAC).

• allow storage of multiple projector configurations and set ups.
• wide range of control possibilities.
• address range from 0 to 255.
• sending data to the projector (update).
• copying data from the projector (backup).

RS232
An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the characteristics of the com-
munication path between two devices using either DB-9 or DB-25 connectors. This standard is used for relatively
short-range communications and does not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a
set number of conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies component
connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C, which is the third version of the
RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24 standard. Logical ’0’ is > + 3V, Logical ’1’ is < - 3V.
The range between -3V and +3V is a the transition zone.

RS422
An EIA serial digital interface standard that specifies the electrical characteristics of balanced (differential) voltage,
digital interface circuits. This standard is usable over longer distances than RS-232. This signal governs the asyn-
chronous transmission of computer data at speeds of up to 920,000 bits per second. It is also used as the serial port
standard for Macintosh computers. When the difference between the 2 lines is < - 0.2V that equals with a logical ’0’.
When the difference is > +0.2V that equals to a logical ’1’..

Ethernet network communication

The FLM projector can be connected to a LAN (local area network) using port 1 (F) or port 2 (G) on the communication interface.
Once connected to the LAN, users are capable of accessing the projector from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their
company network using the FLM control software: Projector Toolset. This toolset locates the projector on the network in case there
is a DHCP server or the user can insert the correct IP-address of the projector to access the projector. Once accessed, it is possible
to check and manipulate all the projector settings. Remote diagnostics, control and monitoring of the projector can then become a
daily and very simple operation. The network connectivity permits to detect potential errors and consequently improve the time to
servicing.
As there is a need to daisy chain projectors when they are in Ethernet network, an Ethernet switch is build in. the incoming network
is hereby available for the internal PC and for the next device in the chain. In this way a ’star’ network interconnection can be avoid.
The switch used is a stand alone 10/100Mbit Ethernet switch. This assures no influence on the network speed. Whenever a slow
(10Mbit) device is connected the speed between the 100Mbit devices remains 100Mbit.
Both Ethernet ports (F & G) are equipped with a yellow and green a LED. The yellow LED lights up in case the port is connected
with a 100Mbit network. The green LED blinks in case there is network activity.

The connectors used for both Ethernet ports (F & G) are of rugged Neutrik EtherCon RJ45 type, which is
compatible with standard RJ45 cable connector. Straight (most common) as well as cross linked network
cables can be used. The 2 ports are functionally identical. Both ports are connected via the projector hub
(Auto sensing enabled).

6.6 Projector Address

6.6.1 Displaying and Programming addresses

Displaying the Projector Address on the Screen.

1. Press Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
The projector’s address will be displayed in a ’Text box’

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.

How to Program an Address into the RCU?

1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
2. Enter the address with the digit buttons within 5 seconds after pushing the address key.
Note: That address can be any digit between 0 and 9.

The LED on the remote control must lit up while pressing a digit key. Otherwise the address is not entered in
the remote control.

6.6.2 Controlling the projector

Projector address
Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.

Common address
Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that common address.

Why a projector address ?

As more than one projector can be installed in a room, each projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or computer.
Therefore each projector has its own address.

Set up an individual Projector Address.

The set up of a projector address can be done via the software. See xxx in chapter ’Projector Control’.

Projector controlling.
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which can be set in the Service mode.
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.

Common Address
Every projector has a common address ’0’ or ’1’. The choice between ’0’ and ’1’ can be selected in xxx.

6.7 Source selection

9.3.9 Input balance

Overview
• Introduction to Input Balance
• Adjusting the input balance

9.3.9.1 Introduction to Input Balance

Introduction: Unbalanced color signals

When transporting signals, there is always a risk of deterioration of the information contained in the signals.
In case of information contained in the amplitude of the signals which is the case of data color signals (R, G, B),image 9-42 , we are
quite sure that the amplitude of these color signals is subject to alterations.
An example of alteration may be a DC component added to the signal, in the form of a DC offset repositioning the black level, since
this black level (“brightness”) will become crucial later on (clamping circuit) it will result in “black not being black”.
Another value that is subject to alteration is the amplitude of the signal, resulting in an altered “Gain” of the signal (“white level” or
contrast).
The alterations of the three color signals will happen independently i.e. the colors will end to be unbalanced, image 9-43

One can conclude here that a good color tracking can only be met by using three previously (input) balanced
color signals

Analog Digital Conversion

The analog color signals must pass through an Analog/Digital conversion circuit prior to any digital processing in the PMP.
A typical ADC transforms the analog value into an 8 bit coded digital signal.
The graphic shows that when converting a signal containing a DC offset component the range of the converter is not optimally used.

Image 9-44

One can conclude here that a good data conversion can only be met by using three previously (input) balanced
color signals

The objective of input balancing

The objective in input balancing is to “set” the same black level and the same white level for the three colors of a particular input
source.

Black level setting : brightness

White level setting : contrast

The same absolute black and white level for the three colors allow the same reference for Brightness and contrast control of the
picture !
These two references also set the range in which the ADC will work for that particular source (this explains also why each input
balance setting is linked to a particular source and thus saved in the image file).

9.3.9.2 Adjusting the input balance

How can it be done ?

To balance the three color signals of a particular source there are conditions; in fact we must know the black and the white level of
the source i.e. :
1. The source in question must be able to generate a white signal, ideally a 100% white (background) full screen pattern
2. The source in question must be able to generate a black signal, ideally a 100% black (background) full screen pattern

Image 9-45

White balance : In the projector, we will set the contrast for each color until we get a 100% light output picture when projecting a
100% white image (image A)
Black balance : In the projector, we will set the brightness for each color until we get a 0% light output picture when projecting a
100% black image (image B).

The changeover from min to max is indicated by the apparition of bright spots also called “digital noise”

An alternative to a full screen White/black pattern is the standard gray scale pattern, the white bar will be used
for white balance and the black bar for black balance.

7. Adjust the red black level on a minimal value

8. Select Black balance blue and adjust the blue black level on a minimal value.
Note: This minimal value is not necessary , provided that the 2 other colors are not influencing too much the color to be adjusted,
in fact the aim is to minimize the effect of the two other colors since there is a risk of reaching too soon the 50% transition
due to the contribution of these two other colors signals.
9. Select Black balance green and adjust the Green black level until bright spots appear on the screen.
10.Select Black balance blue adjust the Blue black level until bright spots appear on the screen.
11. Select Black balance red adjust the Red black level until bright spots appear on the screen.
The projected image should now be noisy full black

If one uses a gray scale pattern, the bright spots should appear in the black bar.

9.6.1 Files and file manipulations

Connecting a new source.

Before using a new source, a correct file has to be installed. The projector’s memory contains a list of files corresponding to the most
used sources. When the new source corresponds with one of these files, the file can be loaded and saved for future use. When
there is a little difference, the file can also be loaded and then edited until the source specs are reached.

file loading can be done automatically (). Files with a ~ in front of the file name are temporary files. These files
will be deleted when switching to another source.

Possible file Manipulations

The following file manipulations are possible :
• Load : installation of a file for a new source.
• Rename : renaming a file.
• Delete : deleting a file (only custom files)
• Delete all : delete all custom files
• Copy : copy the settings from one file to another.

The size of the picture in picture window can be changed with respect to the original aspect ratio of the PIP image.
Remark: when the e.g. the PIP window is a 4 by 3 window and the projected image has a 16 by 9 format, then it is possible that
image jumps inside the PIP window during a re-scaling. Due to the fact that the re-scale is done on the vertical dimensions of the
PIP window and the image inside it will be re-scaled so that the aspect ratio is still correct.

13.4 Network
Overview
• Introduction to an Network connection
• DHCP setup
• IP-address set up
• Subnet-mask set up
• Default Gateway set up

13.4.1 Introduction to an Network connection

DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network administrators manage
centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization’s network. Using the Internet Protocol, each
machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users
with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address
must be entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location in another part of the network,
a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from
a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the
network.

IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Subnet mask
A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local area network.

Default Gateway
A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a local network (LAN) may
need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet.

MAC address
Media Access Control address. Unique hardware number, used in combination with the IP-address to connect to the
network (LAN or WAN).

What should be set up for an Ethernet address?

2 ways can be used to assign an address:
• use the DHCP setting so that an automatic address will be assigned.
• Assign manually an IP address, Net-mask (subnet-mask), (default) gateway address.
- Set the IP-Address field to the desired value. This must NOT be 0.0.0.0 for static IP-Address assignment. The IP address
identifies a projector’s location on the network in the same way a street address identifies a house on a city block. Just as
a street address must identify a unique residence, an IP address must be globally unique and have a uniform format.
- Set the Subnet-Mask as appropriate for the local subnet.
- Set the Default-Gateway to the IP-Address of the local router (MUST be on the local subnet!) on the same network as this
projector that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local network. This must not be 0.0.0.0. If there is no
router on the projector’s local subnet then just set this field to any IP-Address on the subnet.

15.5 Cleaning the lens

To minimize the possibility of damage to optical coatings, or scratches to lens surfaces, we have developed
recommendations for clean. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing
it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.

Necessary tools
Toraysee TM cloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.

How to clean the lens ?

Proceed as follow :
1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee TM cloth.
2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.
Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.
4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.

CAUTION: Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the
cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.

Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this Toraysee TM cloth.

15.6 Cleaning the exterior of the projector

How to clean the exterior of the projector ?
1. Switch off the projector and unplug the power cord at the projector side.
2. Clean the housing of the projector with a damp cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild
detergent solution.

C.1 Error codes

Overview
When the error code is preceded by a ’-’ sign, then the error means a real error for the projector.
When the error code is preceded by a ’+’ sign, then the error code means a warning. The projector does not fail yet, but take care
for the warning and try to resolve the problem. A warning state can turn into an error state.
Not all error codes can have two states. When the state is available, it is indicated by a Yes in the overview table. When the state
is not available, it is indicated by a No.

 Glossary

GLOSSARY

Common address
Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that common address.

Default Gateway
A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a local network (LAN) may need a gateway
to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet.

DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network administrators manage centrally and
automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization’s network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect
to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection to the Internet,
an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer
and, if computers move to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network
administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer
is plugged into a different place in the network.

HEPA
High Efficiency Particulate Absorbing

IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

MAC address
Media Access Control address. Unique hardware number, used in combination with the IP-address to connect to the network (LAN
or WAN).

PiP
PiP stands for "Picture in Picture" and allows to display multiple windows containing each of them an image. The windows may be
of the video or data type.

Projector address
Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.

Restricted access location

A location for equipment where both of the following paragraphs apply:
1) Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS who have been instructed about the reasons for the restriction
applied to the location and about the precautions that shall be taken.
2) Access is through the use of the tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for
the location.

RS232
An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the characteristics of the communication path
between two devices using either DB-9 or DB-25 connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range communications and
does not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of conductors, data rate, word length
and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies component connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is
also called RS-232-C, which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24 standard.
Logical ’0’ is > + 3V, Logical ’1’ is < - 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is a the transition zone.

RS422
An EIA serial digital interface standard that specifies the electrical characteristics of balanced (differential) voltage, digital interface
circuits. This standard is usable over longer distances than RS-232. This signal governs the asynchronous transmission of computer
data at speeds of up to 920,000 bits per second. It is also used as the serial port standard for Macintosh computers. When the
difference between the 2 lines is < - 0.2V that equals with a logical ’0’. When the difference is > +0.2V that equals to a logical ’1’..

Subnet mask
A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local area network.
