IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is used subsequently.
5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

CAUTION: THE PROJECTOR MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE TRIGGER WIRES TO THE PROJECTOR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY DAMAGE THE CONTROLLER.

Use 2-conductor 20-24 gauge wire to extend the low voltage connection from the projector's 5 or 12-volt screen trigger output to the length required to reach the VPI. When extending the low voltage connection from the projector's screen trigger output polarity does not matter. The red and black wires from the VPI are interchangeable.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The wall switch is REQUIRED to make any limit switch adjustments, EVEN if a third party control system is used. Therefore, it is advised to wire the switch or provide a 3-conductor connection that is accessible.
