Runco VX-4c Projector User Manual


 
OPERATION
3.3 Using the Keypad The keypad appears in two locations:
Infrared (IR) Remote for wireless control up to 100 feet away
Wired Remote (optional) tethered to the rear of the projector
While each keypad is identical in layout and provides complete control of the projector, you may
find one keypad more convenient than another for your specific installation and application.
IR Remote
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, point the keypad either
toward the screen or toward the front or rear of the projector. One of two sensors on the projec-
tor will detect the signals and relay the commands for internal processing.
Wired Remote (OPTIONAL)
The wired remote keypad connects to the 3-pin XLR jack via a 50 ft. cable. It is recommended
when:
the lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission
you want to use a separate keypad for each projector in a group
Guide to Keypads
Keep in mind the following guidelines:
1) Press keys one-at-a-time; there are no simultaneous key presses required.
2) For any key having an “*”( for example), hold the key for approximately 1 second in
order to toggle the function with a single key press. For other keys (or to use a “*” key in con-
junction with ), a momentary press similar to a mouse click is sufficient.
3) Press the “lightbulb key” to temporarily illuminate the backlight for the keys without sending
any other command.
4) , , , and repeat their “arrow” actions when held down. For other keys,
release and press again to repeat an action.
5) If you press a key while the projector is busy with another action, such as during a power-up,
the key press may not take effect.
Keypad Commands
Specific keypad commands are explained below:
Power
ON/OFF
Press and hold for approximately 1 second to turn the projector on or off with a single key press.
Or press followed immediately by or if you want to guarantee the correct toggle
(useful if you are unsure of the present status).
NOTES: 1) Whenever the projector is turned off, the lamp cooling fans remain on for about five
minutes to cool the lamp. 2) It is a good idea to avoid turning a projector back on until it has been
off for a few minutes. Hot re-strikes of the lamp may reduce lamp life.
