POSITIONING THE TWO UNITS
The C3X-LINK system consists of two separate units (the Di-
giOptic™ Image Processor and the Projector), each of which is
equipped with a power cable; the two units are interconnected
by a 20 m fibre optic cable.

POSITIONING THE PROJECTOR
Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise the
optional bracket for a fixed ceiling installation.
CAUTION: In the case of ceiling mounting using a suspension
bracket, follow the instructions carefully and comply with the
safety standards you will find in the box together with the bracket.
If you use a bracket different to the one supplied by SIM2, you
must make sure that the projector is at least 65 mm (2-9/16
inch) from the ceiling and that the bracket is not obstructing
the air vents on the sides of the Projector.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen:
the size of the projected image is determined by the distance
from the lens of the projector to the screen and the optical
zoom setting. See the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION section for
more details.
CONNECTING THE TWO UNITS
The system can be fully controlled using the supplied IR (infra-
red) remote control handset. There is a single remote control
for both the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the Projector; the
remote control can be directed towards either unit since they
are both equipped with an IR sensor at the front and one on
the back of the projector.
The connection between the two units is made with a single
cable containing three fibre optic cables each terminating in
an LC connector. The standard cable length of 20 m will be
sufficient for most installation requirements.
During installation of the fibre optic cable:
• The individual optical cables are delicate: always handle
the main cable without touching the individual optical
cables (Fig.7). Never pull the individual optical cables or
connectors; if necessary, you may pull the main three-core
cable.
• Only remove the cap protecting the connector ferrule
immediately before inserting the connector; if the ferrule is
allowed to come into contact with foreign material it may
be damaged, making the connector unusable.
• Take particular care when inserting fibre optic connectors in
their respective sockets on the rear panel of the DigiOptic™
Image Processor and on the back of the Projector.
POSITIONING THE DIGIOPTIC™ IMAGE PROCESSOR
The ideal location for the DigiOptic™ Image Processor is on a
cabinet shelf or on a rack (dimensions are compatible with a
standard 19” rack). Make sure that the support surface is stable
and that the unit has sufficient space around it for ventilation
purposes (at least 3 cm).
The unit is connected to the mains via an external power supply
unit with an output of +7 Vdc; the unit’s main power switch is
on the power supply unit.
Connect the power supply unit output cable to the POWER
socket located on the rear panel (Fig. 2).
Use exclusively the power supply unit provided with the system or
an alternative power supply unit expressly approved by SIM2.
For rack mounting of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor use the
screws and LH / RH supports supplied with the product.
Undo the screws fixing the cover to the base of the DigiOptic™,
position the LH and RH supports and secure them to the unit
with the screws supplied. Use the supplied screws to secure the
unit to the rack (Fig.6).
