The RS-232 Command Line Interface (CLI) specifications and commands are available on our website. See the back inside cover of this User's Guide for website information.

Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector (with the standard lens) must be at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the projection screen.
• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see "Ceiling" on page 35. We recommend using an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see the Accessories catalog that came with this projector or visit our website for more information.
• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. For information about image sizes at different distances, see "Projected image size" on page 43.
• For the standard lens that comes with the projector, the image exits at a given angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the image offset variable. The image offset is 100% at a 10:0 ratio when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10' high, all 10' will appear above the center of the lens.
• This image offset is 50% when the lens shift is at a 1:1 ratio. This means that if you have an image 10' high, the bottom of the image will be 5' below the center of the lens.
• For information about the optional lenses image offsets, see "Projected image size" on page 43.

Connecting a computer

Required computer connections

Connect one end of the VESA computer cable to the Computer 2 connector on the projector. Connect the other end to the video port on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the monitor cable from the computer's video port.

RS-232 commands

Communication Configuration

Visit our website for additional RS-232 settings and information.

To control this projector via RS-232, connect a null modem cable and set the control system serial port settings to match the following communication configuration:

RS-232 Port Settings
Setting	Value
Bits per second	19,200
Data bits	8
Parity	None
Stop bits	1
Flow control	None
Emulation	VT100

Command Format

All commands consist of 3 alpha characters followed by a request, all enclosed in parentheses. The request can be a read request (indicated by a "?" or a write request (indicated by 1 to 4 ASCII digits).

A read request example:

(AAA?) where
( starts the command
AAA denotes the command
? denotes the read request
) ends the command

A read command returns the range and the current setting, for example:

Read Command Examples
Function	Command	Response
Brightness	(BRT?)	(96-160,128)
Volume	(VOL?)	(0-32, 0)
Lamp Hours	(LMP?)	(0-65534, 42)

A write request example:

(AAA#####) where

(startsthecommand

AAA denotes the command

denotes the value to be written

(leading zeros not necessary)

) ends the command

Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is not understood, a "?" is returned. With absolute settings, "0" is off, 1-9999 is on. The one exception is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.

To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.

Write Command Examples

Function	Command	Response
Brightness	(BRT140)	Sets the brightness to 140
Power	(PWRO)	Turns power off
Power	(PWR1)	Turns power on

Error Conditions

Not all commands are supported for all projectors. If an unsupported command is issued, the command will be ignored. If a command is received that is not understood, a ? character will be returned indicating the command was not understood.

Limitations

The projector cannot respond to commands coming in at a high-rate. Therefore, a delay must occur between commands to ensure that the command gets properly executed. To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.

The Step column refers to increasing or decreasing the menu bar position since the On-screen Display is not an exact match of values. For example, Step 2 changes the data by 2 through the CLI (Command Line Interface). The menu bar is up (or down) by 1.

If the Product, which is the subject of this Limited Warranty, is defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period, InFocus, at its option, will REPAIR or REPLACE the Product.

All exchanged parts and products replaced under this Warranty will become property of InFocus. InFocus' sole obligation is to supply (or pay for) all labor necessary to repair the Product found to be defective within the Warranty period and to repair or replace defective parts with new parts or, at the option of InFocus, serviceable used parts that are equivalent or superior to new parts performance.

Limited Warranty Alternatives: Subject to the Limitations, Exclusions and Disclaimers, InFocus Warrants as follows:

2 Year Parts and Labor Product Warranty - From the date of purchase, InFocus warrants that the Product will conform to the manufacturers' specifications and be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of two (2) years.

WARRANTY LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION

THIS WARRANTY SETS FORTH INFOCUS' MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ITS PRODUCT. THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS ONLY TO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM INFOCUS OR AN INFOCUS AUTHORIZED RESELLER. InFocus shall have no further obligation under the foregoing Limited Warranty if the Product has been damaged due to abuse, misuse, neglect, smoke exposure (cigarette or otherwise), accident, unusual physical or electrical stress, unauthorized modifications (including use of an unauthorized mount), tampering, alterations, or service other than by InFocus or its authorized agents, causes other than from ordinary use or failure to properly use the Product in the application for which said Product was intended.

This Warranty excludes Product or accessory cleaning, repair, or replacement of plastics due to cosmetic damage and damage as a result of normal wear.

To Be Eligible For Limited Warranty Coverage

Any person exercising a claim under this Limited Warranty must establish to the satisfaction of InFocus both the date of purchase and that the Product was purchased new. The sales receipt or invoice, showing the date of purchase of the Product or Accessory is the proof of the date of purchase.
