As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate 
with the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and 
receives feedback via serial links (RS232 and RS422), Ethernet or GPIO 
communications to the projector, all described below. 
As desired, direct the projector’s IR remote keypad towards the display screen or the 
projector’s IR sensors. Alternatively, connect...

Connecting RS-422 
If you wish to control the projector with a computer and or other controlling device 
with RS-422 capability, connect a RS-422 serial communication cable between the 
computer and the RS-422 port on the projector. RS-422 is better suited for serial 
communication over long distances then is RS-232 communication.  
 Use the RS-422 port only if your device had RS-422 capability – always...

(6) & (11) The two IR sensors located on the projector receive transmissions from the 
IR remote from up to 100 feet away. It is important to keep the transmission path to 
these sensors unobstructed for uninterrupted communications with the projector. The 
front IR sensor is located next to the projector’s nameplate and the rear IR sensor is 
located just below the input panel. 
(13) & (14) Located on the right hand side of the projector are...

The IR remote keypad controls the projector by way of wireless communications from 
a battery-powered infrared (IR) transmitter. Use the IR remote keypad the same way 
you would use a remote keypad supplied with a TV or VCR. When making key 
presses, direct the keypad either toward the screen or toward the front or rear of the 
projector. One of the two IR sensors on the projector will detect the signals and relay 
the commands for internal...

You can convert the IR remote into a wired remote keypad using the cable provided 
with the projector. Connect one end into the remote and the other to the mini stereo 
connector on the input panel labeled 
REMOTE. The wired remote is recommended 
when: 
• the built-in keypad is inaccessible 
• the lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission 
NOTE: Leave the batteries in the wired remote for the laser key (
) to work....
