RS-232C Interface Data
An external PC or third party controller may be used to control your ALICE 5200. This section will
describe how to connect and control the 5200 DLP projector using external serial communication with
characters and numeric commands.
Enabling Com
PortsAs standard, Serial Port 1 (COM1) is unused and may be used for the external control of the
projector. Perform the following to enable external control and select which Serial Port to
use;

  Open the Main menu

  Select MENU, then

  Select UTILITY

  Select CONFIGURE, a pop-up selection box will open.

  Select External Control Enable, then select the desired “Com Port”.

  Exit the menu system.

  Restart the system

Character /
Numeric
CommandsCommands to the projector are two general types. Character commands and Numeric
commands. Character commands in fact consist of two types. Some of them put the
projector into a particular adjustment mode. For example, sending a letter B puts the
projector into brightness adjustment mode. Once in that mode, adjustments may be done it
two ways. The character + (plus) and – (minus) respectiv ely increase and decrease the
parameter. Alternatively, a numeric v alue can be assigned for the parameter by following the
mode character with an integer v alue, followed by a repetition of the mode character. For
example, the command B75B would set the brightness to 75% of maximum.
Other commands carry out a single action such as selecting a channel, deleting a channel,
etc. Some of these commands use a prefixed integer parameter, while others use following
integer parameters and/or text strings for channel names. For example, the command 12!
Would select channel 12 and I12 13 NYSC would copy channel 12 to channel 13 and give
the name NTSC to channel 13.
All numeric parameters are integers. A decimal point is neither needed nor recognized.
Channel names must consist of upper and/or lower case letters, the digits 0 through 9, the
under bar character “_” and blanks. Numeric parameters are ranged checked. For those
commands that us a percentage v alue of 0 to 100, values outside those limits are accepted
and limited to the range of 0 to 100. For commands that use absolute value parameters such
as Phase, v alues outside the allowed range are simply rejected. The acceptable range of
each parameter is indicated in the Character Command Tables.
Any non-digit character such as carriage return, comma, blank, tab, etc., terminates a
channel name. For this reason the command K12 would delete channel 12 but K 12 would
be rejected since a blank (non-numeric character) following the letter K would terminate the
search for the channel name parameter.

Lamp Module Replacement Procedure
A replacement lamp module may be purchased (P/N 69736) from your selling
dealer an authorized AmPro Service Center or AmPro Corporation.
Replacement
ProceduresThe lamp module is accessed on the rear of the projector. It consists of a 500W Xenon
lamp mounted in a heat sink and housed in a protective plastic assembly.
!
The lamp assembly is very hot during normal operation. To minimize risk of
potential burns to the skin, allow time for the lamp assembly to cool to room
temperature before servicing. Be sure to handle the lamp by its plastic housing only.
!
The lamp is under great pressure at all times and may explode. To reduce the risk
of personnel injury and/or property damage, when servicing the projector (display
engine) wear safety glasses and allow the lamp to cool completely.

 STEP 1. De-energize the projector and remove the ac power cord.

 STEP 2. At the rear of the projector, unlock the lamp module access door and lift the
hinged access door up.

 STEP 3. Open the two captive latches securing the lamp sub-assembly access door
at the rear of the projector.

 STEP 4. Gently, pull the lamp assembly out by its plastic housing.

 If the lamp is too tight to remove, loosen the two lamp adjustment screws.

 STEP 5. To install the lamp module, slide the lamp assembly in. If the lamp
adjustment screws were loosed, refer to Adjusting the Lamp Module (below). Close
the inner access door, fasten the two captive latches and close the outer access
door.
Adjusting the Lamp
Module

 Test Pattern: Full white field or 9-quadrant test pattern.


 Test Equipment: Light Meter (optional).

 STEP 1. Adjust the lamp position as need using the two adjustment screws. See
Figure next page.

 STEP 2. Re-open the outer access door.

 STEP 3. Remove the two plugs covering the two adjustment screws.

 STEP 4. It is optimal to adjust the light level using a light meter. However, if a light
meter is not available, a visual adjustment will have to do.

 STEP 5. Typically the two adjustment screws are set to fully tighten.

 STEP 6A. If you are using a light meter, focus your attention on the center of the
image. Adjust the screws for maximum light reading.

 STEP 6B. If you are visually setting the light output, adjust until the image appears
too be the brightest.

 STEP 7. Replace the plugs and close the outer access door.
