If you do not want to use the distance table, you can use the following equations to help determine where to install the projector relative to the screen.

Calculating projection distances

distance from lens to screen = A × width of screen

minimum and maximum distance from screen = B

width of screen = 0.8 × diagonal of screen (for 3:4 screen)

projector lens below bottom of screen = C × width of screen (for 4:3 screen)

vp6310 series	vp6320 series
A = 1.7 to 2.0	A = 1.8 to 2.1
B = 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft)	B = 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft)
C = 0.11 to 0.41	C = 0.11 to 0.43

Connecting power

1. Place the projector on a stable platform located 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft) in front of the screen. Ideally, the platform should be lower than the bottom of the screen.

4 Maintaining the Projector

Performing routine maintenance

Getting the projector status

To get the projector status:

▲ Press the enter button on the projector or remote control and go to Help.

This screen shows information and status for the projector.

Cleaning the projector lens

You can clean the front lens of the projector using the following recommendations. You cannot clean any of the internal surfaces.

• To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface, blow dust particles off the lens with clean, dry, deionized air.
• If this method does not work, use the following method:

a. Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe back and forth across the lens.

b. If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the cloth is still dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged, replace it.

CAUTION: Cleaning requires special consideration:

• Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface. Cleaners might damage the lens.
• Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth. Chemicals on the cloth might damage the surface of the lens.
• Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a long time because doing so contaminates the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth can be contaminated if left in the open air.

Replacing the lamp module

As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can install a new lamp at any time to bring the projector up to factory-fresh brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed.

WARNING! Replacing the lamp module requires special consideration:

• To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as broken glass might be present. For a ceiling installation, wear goggles and gloves when removing the lamp module. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required due to glass fragments.
- The lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately ventilate the area where the breakage occurred. Disposal of this lamp might be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at http://www.eiae.org.
- Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait 30 minutes before removing the lamp module.

1. Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Press the release latch ① on the lamp cover and remove the cover ②.
4. Press the release latch on the lamp connector and unplug the connector ③.

Upgrading the projector

Updating the firmware

HP might periodically release updated versions of the projector firmware to enhance the projector performance. The projector firmware version is shown in the on-screen menu at Help. Check for updated versions at http://www.hp.com/go/proj_firmware.

USB method

1. On a computer with a USB port, go to the HP projector upgrade website (see introduction for this section) and download the latest file intended for a USB upgrade.
2. Connect a USB cable (available from HP) between the USB port on the projector and the USB port on the computer.
3. On the computer, run the file you downloaded by double-clicking the file. Follow the on-screen instructions.

5 Installing Per

Installing the projector

Choosing cables

If you are permanently installing the projector or using it with long cables, consider the following suggestions when planning the installation:

• Use high-quality cables. Use only video cables that are made with 75-ohm coaxial cable and connectors. For high-resolution video, use low-loss video cables. For standard audio, use audio cables that are shielded. For digital audio, use 75-ohm coaxial cables.
• Minimize cable length as much as possible. For video cables longer than 6 m (20 ft), use low-loss coaxial cables. For standard audio cables longer than 6 m (20 ft), use 12-gauge wire.
• Do not run audio or video cables next to power or network cables. If they must cross, cross them at 90 degrees.
• If you are installing cables in walls, use cables with necessary approvals, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approval.
• If you are running cables above a dropped ceiling, you must use plenum-rated cables if the space above the ceiling is open to the space above other rooms. You must use plenum-rated cables if you are running cables in a duct.
  • Before installing cables permanently, check the setup with the final cables in the open.

Installing on a table

This installation is covered in detail in Chapter 1. See "Setting up the projector" on page 16 for more information.

Installing on the ceiling

WARNING! To minimize the risk of injury from improperly installed equipment, it is recommended that a professional installer performs the ceiling installation.

1. Attach the projector to the ceiling using an HP ceiling mount kit. Refer to the installation instructions provided with the ceiling mount kit.

2. After the projector is mounted on the ceiling, adjust the projector settings to match this setup. Press enter, go to Setup > Advanced setup > Projector position, and select Front Ceiling.

Installing for rear projection

1. Place the projector 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft) behind a translucent screen that is designed for rear projection.

See "Setting up the projector" on page 16 or "Installing on the ceiling" on page 49 for more instructions.

1. Press enter, go to Setup > Advanced setup > Projector position. Then select Rear Table or Rear Ceiling.

Locking the projector

The projector includes a built in slot to secure the projector with a cable and lock (such as the Kensington MicroSaver lock system, available at many computer stores).

1. Wrap the cable around a secure object, such as a table leg. Loop the cable to create a slip knot around the stationary object, and be sure it cannot slip off.

2. Insert the lock ① into the hole and twist the key ②.

TIP: As an alternative, you can loop a cable or bracket around the projector handle to secure the projector in place.

Controlling an external accessory

If your projector has a 12-volt trigger output port, the projector can automatically control one or more accessories. Certain types of accessories can use a 12-volt signal to trigger their actions, such as a motorized screen lowering and raising the screen. The output provides a 12-volt dc signal whenever the projector is on (200 mA maximum current output).

Requires:

- Two-wire cable with 3.5-mm × 1.3-mm barrel connector (12 V on inner contact)

Illustration of a projector projection onto a screen with an inset showing cable and camera components (no text or symbols)

Connecting to a room controller

If your projector has a serial port, you can connect the projector to a room controller using a serial (RS-232) cable. After you program the room controller using the following commands, you can use the room controller to operate the projector and other components of your installation.

Serial connections

The serial port on the projector uses a standard serial (RS-232) cable:

• Pin 2: data sent to the projector (RxD)
• Pin 3: data sent from the projector (TxD)
- Pin 5: ground

The room controller must use the following serial (RS-232) settings:

• 9600 baud
- 1 start bit + 8 data bits (D0=LSB, D7=MSB) + 1 stop bit
- No parity
• Full duplex communication channels (no flow control)
- No handshaking

Examples of room controller commands

In the following examples, "" and "" represent a carriage return and line feed, respectively.

Commands are sent to the projector as "requests" which consist of an asterisk (*) prefix, the command name, any needed parameter, and a carriage return as a terminator:

* command = parameter

Requests can contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters. Blanks (spaces) are allowed, except within keywords and numbers. Line feeds are ignored.

The following table shows the specific syntax to use for various requested tasks.

To perform this task... Use this request syntax...

Change a setting to a specified value *command=value

Ask the current setting *command=?

Increment a setting *command=+

Decrement a setting *command=

Invoke an action (no parameter needed) *command

In general, every request sent to the projector generates one or more notification messages, which are sent to the room controller. Actions initiated by the projector can also generate notifications.

The projector always sends notifications whenever a setting changes, whether as the result of a request from a controller, or as the result of an action, such as a button press or menu change. Some requested setting changes take time to perform, or are carried out in stages. Because of this, requests might produce delayed notifications.

The following table lists the types of notifications generated in various situations.

This type of request... Generates this type of notification...

Modify a setting Echoes the request command and shows the resulting value:

Request: *BRT=65

Notification: *BRT=65

Query a setting Echoes the request command and shows the resulting value:

Request: *CON=?

Notification: *CON=40

Execute an action Echoes the request command:

Request: *NXT

Notification: *NXT

Incorrect commands cause the following types of notifications:

• No asterisk at start of command—no response

• Unrecognized command name—command with “?” added

• Command that is currently unavailable—command with “?” added

• Invalid parameter—command with current value
  • Action command with unnecessary parameter—action command
  • Action command that is unavailable—action command

The following simplified example shows how the projector typically responds to a request to change the active input source. Note that the three latter notifications are delayed.

Request: *RSRC=4

Notification: *RSRC=4 (acknowledges request)

* SRC=0 (projector is attempting to acquire source 4, and in the interim has no valid source)

*SRC=4(source 4 is now active)

*BRT=60(brightness has been modified for source 4)

*CSPC=?(color space is not supported for this input)
