Physical installation process overview

1. Install the projector in the desired position taking following points into account:

   • Ensure that the physical setup of projector complies with all safety requirements such as the hazard distance restriction zone etc. See safety chapter “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”.

   • Projector configuration:

     • In case of a standing installation:

       • Use a solid pedestal to place a single UDX projector on (with or without rigging frame)
       • Use a solid pedestal and UDX rigging frames for stacking the UDX projectors up to maximum 3 units high.

     • In case of a hanging installation:

       • Use the UDX rigging frames to suspend up to maximum 2 stacked UDX projectors (Table Mount or Ceiling Mount).
       • Use a UDX rigging frame to hang one UDX projector in portrait (wall mount)
   

   Note: For detailed instructions on how to use (install, suspend, stack, adjust, ...) the UDX rigging frame see separate documentation of the UDX rigging frame.
   

   Note: Ceiling mount and wall mount of a single UDX projector can be realized without UDX rigging frame but then a 3rd party interface needs to be added between the projector and the surface to attach the projector on.

2. Install the projector in the desired position taking following points into account:

   • Projector configuration. In case of table mount use a solid pedestal. In case of suspended installation use the UDX rigging frame. See chapter “Flight case and rigging frame”.
   • Ensure that the physical setup of projector complies with all safety requirements such as the hazard distance restriction zone etc. See safety chapter “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”.
3. Electrical connection with the power net. See chapter “Connecting the projector with the power net”.

4. Installation of the lens. For detailed instructions see “Installation of the projection lens”.

   In case of a UST lens specifically, more detailed instructions are required. In this case, see “UST lenses”.

   

   Caution: Install the lens safety cable in case the projector is mounted above people. For detailed instructions see “Installing the lens safety cable”. For ordering info see the Barco website.

5. Verify and adjust the convergence if required. There are two ways of adjusting the convergence:

   1. Mechanical convergence done by a certified technician, for detailed instructions see the service manual.
   2. Electronic convergence, for detailed instructions see the Pulse OSD user guide.
6. Install the batteries of the Remote Control Unit (RCU). See chapter “Pulse RCU battery installation”.
7. Installation of the Projector Toolset on local laptop. Download and install the latest version from the Barco website. See chapter “Download Projector Toolset”.

8. Switch on the projector and start image projection. See user guide of the projector for details on how to operate the projector. Following options are possible to control the projector:

   • using the RCU

     • Remotely. Ensure that the RCU address matches the projector individual address for the IR receivers. For details see chapters:

       • “Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU”.
       • “Setting the projector addresses”.
     • Hard wired. RCU with XLR cable connected. See “Using the XLR connector of the RCU”
   • using the Local Keypad.
   • using Projector Toolset. See manual of the Projector Toolset.
9. Register the projector. Upon first startup of the projector, you will have the option to register your projector. Consult the Projector Registration user guide for more information if you want to do so.

10. Acclimatize and configure the used lens. Calibrate the lens and potential focus drift.

    • To calibrate the mounted lens, use Projector Toolset or the Lens calibration menu in the GUI. For detailed information, see the user guide of Projector toolset and the projector.
    • To calibrate the focus drift, use the focus drift wizard in the Projector toolset. For detailed information, see the user guide of Projector toolset and the projector.

11. Alignment of the projected image with the screen. Activate an internal test pattern to focus, zoom and shift the lens until the projected image is aligned with the screen. Use for that the:

    • Focus, Zoom and Shift buttons of the RCU.
    • Lens adjustment button of the Local Keypad. For detailed instructions see user guide of the projector.
    • Projector Toolset control software. For detailed instructions see user guide of Projector Toolset.

    To level the projector with the screen adjust the feed of the projector in case of a table mount installation (see “Alignment of a table mounted projector”), or adjust the rotation of the rigging frame in case of a suspended installation (see “Alignment of projector in the rigging frame”).

12. If needed change the projector orientation (e.g. Front/Table, Front/Ceiling, Rear/Table, Rear Ceiling). See user guide of the projector for the software settings of the projector orientation.
13. Check for the latest projector software package. See chapter “Software update”.
