RPMX/RPMSP-D132U & RPMSP-D180U User Manual2-19020-100245-03 Rev. 1 (11-2010)
Setting the Projectors’s IP Address
Factory default is DHCP enabled. The projector’s IP address and port appear in the Status menu as well as the 
Ethernet Settings submenu. 
A static IP address must be defined in projector memory—enter the new address in the Ethernet Settings 
submenu, or send to the projector via a serial command. The IP address will be in effect until it is changed 
again, or until the DHCP checkbox is re-enabled for use with a DHCP server on the network.
Changing the Port Number
 On some Ethernet networks, you may be required to change the firewall restrictions from the default value 
(3002). If so, enter a new port number in the Ethernet Settings menu or include the new port# in an XIP serial 
command sent to the projector. It is highly recommended not to use a port# below 1024, as these ports are 
typically reserved for and used by common network applications. 
Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is 
used, these must be assigned. The Default Gateway is an optional router device used to send and receive data 
outside the subnet. The address is provided by the system administrator.
 
ArtNet INTERFACE SETTINGS: Refer to ArtNet Interface Settings — SUBMENU, on page 4-5 for additional 
information about ArtNet settings. 
2.4.6 Separating Networks 
By default, communications originating from one type of serial controller—RS-232 vs. RS-422 vs. Ethernet—
stay on the corresponding network path. A “Separate” setting indicates this separation for “Network Routing” 
in the Communications menu. If you are using an RS-422 controller, for example, it will communicate only 
with the projector to which it is connected unless you change this setting to either “RS-232 and RS-422 
Joined” or “All Joined”.
2.4.7 Communicating to All Ports
To relay all messages to all ports—RS-232, RS-422, and Ethernet—set the “Network Routing” option in the 
Communications menu for each projector to “All Joined”. This configuration is useful if you are using a non-
RS-232 controller with the RS-232 linking available between these projectors. For example, you may want to 
use both an RS-422-compatible controller and an Ethernet-connected PC for working with a network of 
projectors linked via their RS-232 in/out ports.

Section 2: Installation and Setup
 
To isolate just RS-422 communications, select “RS-232 and Ethernet Joined”. In Figure 2-23 All Joined, only 
projector #3 will respond to the RS-422 controller. To isolate just Ethernet communications, select “RS-232 
and RS-422 Joined”—only projector #1 will respond via Ethernet.
2.4.8 System Integration GPIO Connector
The GPIO connector on the input panel can be used to provide a method of interfacing a wide range of external 
I/O devices to the projector. Refer to  C System Integration for complete details on pin configuration and how 
to program the various pins on the connector.
2.5 Power Connection
  Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified
voltage and power range.
A North American rated line cord is provided with this projector. For all other regions, make sure that
you are using a line cord, power plug and socket that meet the appropriate rating standards.
 Do not use a line cord that is damaged.
2.5.1 Connecting the projector to AC
Plug an appropriately rated line cord to the AC receptacle located on the electronics module and the 3-pronged 
end into a grounded AC outlet. 
NOTE: The outlet must be near the equipment and easily accessible. Use only the line cord provided with the 
projector or a power cord of appropriate rating that complies with regional standards. 
The input voltage to the projector must be 100-240 VAC.

3 Operation
This section explains how to operate the projector after it is installed. Read this section and familiarize yourself 
with the components and menu options before using your projector.
3.1 About the Projector
A brief description of each module is provided in this section. Knowing your projector will help you if 
troubleshooting is necessary.
3.1.1 Projection Head Module 
The projection head module (PHM) contains the projection lens, IR sensor, color wheel, DMD, lamps and 
other optical components.
The PHM is mounted to the 6-axis adjustment mechanism in a lens-vertical (90 degree) configuration at the 
factory. It can be removed and positioned in a lens-horizontal (0 degree) configuration with the configuration 
bracket that comes standard with the projector.
3.1.2 6-Axis Adjuster
The 6-axis adjuster enables accurate positioning of the projector relative to the screen. This allows correct 
image geometry and the ability to accurately match the corners and edges of multiple displays to create one 
seamless image.

Section 3: Operation
3.1.3 Lamps and Mechanical Lamp Changer
Integrated with the PHM is the lamp module, which holds two identical 132W or 180W (UHP) lamps. The 
built-in mechanical lamp changer automatically switches lamps in the event a lamp fails. The non-operating 
lamp can be replaced while the projector is powered on.
You can also request a lamp switch to occur by selecting the other lamp mode from the lamp menu (Section 
4.10.1) or by pressing the illuminated L
AMP CONTROL button near the lamp module. When this selection is 
made, the current operating lamp will turn off and the mechanical lamp changer will move to the selected lamp 
position before the projector attempts to ignite the lamp.
3.1.4 Electronics Module (EM)
The EM contains the video processing electronics and input connectors of the projector. 
Input Panel
All source connections are made to the main input panel. Use:
•
INPUT1 to connect RGB and YPbPr sources
•
INPUT 2 for analog or digital display signals
•
INPUT 3 for composite video
•
INPUT 4 to connect S-video. 
•
INPUT 5 to install one of the available optional input modules. Refer to Appendix D Optional Input Modules 
for a list of modules.
For more details on connecting sources, refer to 2.4 Connecting Sources.
Status Display 
Located just above the main power switch is a two-digit status display window that displays the current status 
of the projector. If the projector encounters an error during operation, an error code number will display. 
During normal operation “On” appears in the window.
Status LED 
Located next to the 2-digit status display is a LED that conveys the current status of the system. Refer to Table 
3.2 for a description of Status lights. Press   to acknowledge and clear errors.

Main Power Switch
The 
MAIN POWER SWITCH is located above the AC receptacle on the EM. Turn this switch OFF to cut all power 
to the projector before unplugging from an AC wall outlet.
IR Sensor
The projector has a front IR sensor that is optimally placed to receive transmissions from the IR remote from 
up to 100 feet away, regardless of the projector’s configuration. For uninterrupted communications with the 
projector, it is important to keep the transmission path to this sensor unobstructed at all times, and to point the 
IR remote directly at the projector (or center of the screen in rear projection applications).
3.1.5 Cooling and Air Vents
Numerous air vents are located around the projector. To keep the projector at an optimum operating 
temperature, keep these vents unobstructed by maintaining the recommended empty space around the 
projector. This will make sure there is sufficient air flow and prevent overheating.
3.2 Using the Remote IR Keypad
The IR remote keypad uses a battery-powered infrared (IR) transmitter to control the projector. Use the IR 
remote keypad the same way you would use a remote TV or VCR remote. When making key presses, direct the 
keypad toward the screen or toward the front of the projector. The IR sensor on the projector will detect the 
signals and relay the commands for internal processing.
See Figure 3-2 Remote Keypad.
Converting to a Wired Remote
The IR remote can be converted into a wired remote keypad using a 3.5mm stereo cable (not supplied 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 lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission
NOTE: Leave the batteries in the wired remote for the laser key ( ) to work.

Section 3: Operation
• Power   and OSD   keys —are “press-and-hold” keys that do not function with a typical quick press-
and-release key press. 
• Hold arrow keys down for continuous adjustment/movement in one direction. In serial networks, pause 
briefly between adjustments to make sure that more distant projectors can keep up with the commands.
• If you press a key while the projector is still responding to the previous action, such as during power-up, the 
second key press may not take effect.
Specific keypad commands are: 
Power ON/OFF 
There are 3 options to power the projector ON or OFF:
• Press   for two seconds to toggle the projector ON/OFF state. 
• Press   followed immediately by 
 (ON) or   (OFF) to switch the projector ON or OFF. 
• Press     to toggle the present ON/OFF state.
NOTES: 
1) After powering down, the lamp cooling fan remains on for approximately 1-2 minutes to cool the lamp. 
2) Keep the projector OFF for a few minutes. Hot re-strikes of the lamp may reduce lamp life.
 3) The projector enforces a 60 second wait between powering OFF and ON to allow the lamp to cool down. 
You will see vertical scrolling bars across the status display during this wait period.
