controlling two protectors in the same area and want to work with one projector
at a time.
Note that if you change a protocol for either sensor to anything other than 
Off,
the protocol for the other sensor also changes. For example, setting the Front IR
Keypad option to 
Vista 
D also changes the Rear IR Keypad to 
Vista 
D. If you
want only one sensor to respond to a particular protocol —
Vista 
C, 
Vista 
D, or
Vista All — disable the other sensor by setting its protocol to 
Off.

Adjust the amount of power applied to the lamp to alter light output on screen.
The range of adjustment is 1000-1800 watts. A setting of 1800 (the default)
applies 1800 watts; anything less will increase lamp life while decreasing
brightness. The higher your lamp power settings, the shorter the life expectancy
of the lamp.
NOTES: 1) Unlike the other Preferences parameters, the Lamp Power setting
affects the current source/channel only and is recalled from source-to-source
(channel-to-channel) just as any Image Setting parameter. 2) Lamp power is
reduced to its 1000 watt minimum while in Standby.

This primarily read-only menu (Figure 3-16 and Figure 3-17) consists of four
separate read-only menus plus a text editing box used for entering the serial
number of a new lamp. The four menus list a variety of details about the standard
and optional components currently in use on the projector. Refer to these menus
for information about hardware and software versions installed, number of lamp
hours logged in total and for the current rental period, and projector model and
serial number. In addition, the Status Menu identifies the current channel,
switcher, slot and frequencies present. Use the Status menu whenever you install
a new lamp assembly. 6WDWXV

Recording the serial number of the new lamp automatically resets the lamp timer
to 0. The timer will now begin logging each hour of use for the new lamp,
recording the current level in the main Status menu as “Lamp Hours”. Note that
the “Lamp Counter”, which shows the number of hours the lamp has been used
during the current rental period, does not automatically reset when a new lamp is
installed. See 4.4, Replacing the Lamp and Filter for complete instructions on
installing a new lamp assembly.

When working with multiple projectors, you may want to use the RS-232 ports
to chain the projectors together in a network that you control from either a
keypad or a computer/controller (see 2.9, Serial Port Connections). Or you may
prefer that each projector stands alone, in which case you will probably use a
single IR remote keypad. In either case, you can switch back and forth between
broadcasting to all projectors or controlling each projector individually.
Make sure you have assigned a unique projector number to each projector
present — this number will be required in order get the exclusive attention of an
individual projector. To assign a projector number:
Press 
0HQX and select the Preferences icon. In the Preferences menu, scroll down
to Projector# and enter a three-digit number (000 to 999) to identify the current
projector. Press 
(QWHU to accept the entry and return to the main menu.
Repeat for each projector, using a unique three-digit number for each. Once
every projector has its own number, you can begin to control the network.
If you are using an IR remote, press 
 to display an editable window. Enter
the three-digit number you have assigned to the projector you wish to control.
All keypad commands will then affect this projector exclusively until you press
 again and enter a different number, or
until you switch to broadcast mode (below).
If you are using a wired remote keypad
(optional) in a network of projectors, make sure that the projector to which the
keypad is connected has its “Broadcast Keys” option checked. Press 
 to
bring up the editable box. Enter the three-digit number assigned to the projector
you want to control — keypad commands will now affect only the desired
projector until you press 
 again and enter a different number, or until you
switch to broadcast mode (below).
NOTES: 
1) If you are using a computer or controller to issue commands, use the
correct RS-232 software command to gain control of a single projector.
On the IR remote or wired keypad, press 
 to display the projector box. Press)X QF without entering a number — the keypad commands will now affect all
projectors.
Make certain that only one projector has its Broadcast Keys option selected
(checked) — the remaining projectors should have the option unchecked and
their keypads disabled (do this in Preferences menu). The Broadcast Keys
projector will then relay keypad commands to the others. If using a wired
remote, make sure to select the “Broadcast Keys” option for the projector to
which the wired remote is connected.
NOTE: 
1) If you are using a computer or controller to issue commands, use the
correct RS-232 software command to broadcast.

If you would like to be notified on-screen of error conditions, turn on this option
from within the Preferences menu (enter a checkmark in the Display Error
Messages box). Should a user error message ever appear on screen, press

The message No signal present: check the source or connections to the
projector is displayed when there is no signal on the selected input. This means
that both HSYNC and VSYNC are inactive and the screen background is black.
%DG#6\QF
The message Bad Sync followed by a short description of the problem is
displayed when HSYNC or VSYNC are active but the signal cannot be
displayed. Such a condition occurs when only one of the two signals is present,
or when either signal is unstable or of the wrong frequency.
NOTE: Bad Sync or No Signal errors must be resolved in order to eliminate
the error message. In the meantime, press 
0HQX to use the menu system (other
functions remain operational).

If the Status LED on the front of the projector repeatedly flashes a pattern of
yellow and red light while the Power LED glows a continuous red, you have
encountered a possible system error requiring the attention of a qualified service
technician. Contact your dealer if the problem persists.
The specific pattern of flashing indicates the 2-digit type code identifying the
type of problem detected — the number of yellow flashes represents the first
digit and the number of red flashes indicates the second. For example, a pattern
of yellow-yellow-red-red-red is Code 23. These codes include:

If the projector does not respond to anything and appears to have inexplicably
failed, gently push a very small screwdriver or pen point into the Hard Reset
hole just to the right of the power LED. This reset will switch the projector off
(note that the power LED turns to yellow to indicate standby mode). Then
press

VistaGRAPHX 10K is CSA approved and is designed for safe and reliable
operation. However, safe operation cannot be assured by design alone; installers,
maintainers, and users must maintain a safe operating environment for the
system. Please read through and understand the following warnings and
guidelines promoting safe usage of the projector.

Observe and follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle alerts the
user to important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the projector.
The lightning flash and arrowhead symbol within the
equilateral triangle alerts the user to uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the projectors enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
Operate the projector in an environment which meets the operating range
specifications in Section 5, Specifications. Do not operate the projector close to
water, such as near a swimming pool.
Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand or table. If the projector is
to be ceiling mounted, only use an Electrohome-approved
ceiling mount fixture.
A projector and cart combination should be used with care.
Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the projector and cart combination to overturn.
