Safety Warnings WARNING ii • If the lamp has shattered or burst, call an authorized SMART reseller for instructions. Do not attempt to replace the lamp. Do not touch the glass fragments because they might cause injury. Leave and then ventilate the area where the lamp shattered or burst. Wash your hands thoroughly if you have come into contact with lamp debris. Thoroughly clean the area around the projector, and discard any edible items placed in that area because they might be contaminated.
WARNING 99-00964-20 A0 • To prevent premature lamp failure or exposure to mercury, always handle the fragile lamp assembly with care. Use gloves when touching the lamp. Do not touch the lamp with your fingers. • Failure to follow the installation instructions shipped with your SMART product could result in personal injury and damage to the product.
CAUTION IMPORTANT iv • Never operate your projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When your projector is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the lens and on crucial internal parts. Allow your projector to reach room temperature before operation to prevent possible damage to your projector. • At high altitudes, where the air is thin, the projector’s cooling efficiency is reduced.
Other Precautions To ensure operating safety and to prevent product damage, observe the following precautions. • Turn off the SMART product before cleaning it. • Use a soft lint-free cloth moistened with a mild detergent to clean the projector housing. • Don’t use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents to clean your SMART product. • Disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet if your SMART product is not being used for a long period of time.

4 About Your UF55 Projector Parts Kit 99-00964-20 A0
Installing Your UF55 Projector Parts Kit IMPORTANT Use the instructions from the UF55 projector boxes to install your parts kit, including the projector and ECP mounting template. Don’t use the instructions in your SMART Board interactive whiteboard product box. The following sections include additional information, optional procedures and tips to consider when you install your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system with the UF55 projector parts kit.
Environmental Requirements Before installing your UF55 projector parts kit, review the following environmental requirements. CAUTION • Never operate your projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When your projector is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture might condense on the lens and on crucial internal parts. Allow your projector to reach room temperature before operation to prevent possible damage to your projector.
Choosing a Location for Your SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard System Choose a location for your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright light sources and direct sunlight such as a window or overhead lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on the interactive whiteboard and reduce the contrast of the projected image. IMPORTANT Using the UF55 projector near a TV or radio might cause interference to the images or sound.
Adjusting the Image Alignment After you install the UF55 projector with your SMART Board 500 series interactive whiteboard, you must adjust the image alignment. Diagnosing Alignment Errors Keystone errors occur when the projected image isn’t perpendicular to the screen. From the projector, the image path is shorter along the top. From the projector, the image path is shorter along the bottom.
Adjust the interactive whiteboard side to side to center the image (from the projector), as illustrated in the installation document, the Parts Kit for SMART Board 560 and 580 Interactive Whiteboards and UF55 Projectors (document 134836). This eliminates many keystone errors. If your installation environment prevents you from moving the interactive whiteboard, you can adjust the projector boom for optimal image alignment.
b. 10 Tilt the projector left or right, up or down, or move it from side to side, until the top edge of the projector image is parallel with the top edge of the interactive whiteboard.
2. Adjust the vertical keystone alignment for the projected image. a. If the bottom edge of the projected image is smaller than the top edge of the projected image, and the sides of the projected image slope inward toward the bottom of the projected image, tilt the projector down or raise the projector’s mounting boom to lower the image. Turn the center hex screw at the base of the boom counter-clockwise using a 6 mm hex key (not supplied) to raise the boom. Center Hex Screw b.
3. Adjust the projected image’s horizontal alignment by turning the projector left or right, until the top and bottom edges of the projected image are horizonally parallel. NOTE: Don’t pay attention to the position of the left and right edges in relation to the interactive whiteboard during this step. 4. Align the interactive whiteboard with the projected image. NOTE: Move your SMART Board interactive whiteboard left or right on its mounting bracket to center the image on the interactive whiteboard.
5. Adjust the physical size of the projected image to fit the interactive whiteboard. a. If you haven’t already done so, loosen the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint to allow the projector to move backward and forward in the slot. b. Move the projector backward or forward on the boom to make the image larger or smaller. NOTE: During this step, you may need to tilt or turn the projector slightly to keep the image square. 6.
Focusing the Image NOTE: Ensure that you remove the plastic lens cover from the projector. To focus the projected image, use the Focus Ring, located on the bottom of the UF55 projector (when the projector is attached to the boom). To focus and adjust the image Rotate the Focus Ring lever right or left until the image is clear.
Connecting Your Interactive Whiteboard System When you connect a computer with SMART Notebook software to your interactive whiteboard system, you can display and interact with Ink Aware programs on your SMART Board interactive whiteboard. You can connect the video output of a hardware device, such as a DVD/Blu-ray player or VCR, to the interactive whiteboard system’s ECP to display this video signal on your system.
Connecting the Cables to the UF55 Projector Refer to the following diagrams as you connect the cables to the projector. Routing the Cables When connecting cables from the UF55 projector to the 560 or 580 interactive whiteboard, make sure all cables pass along the top of the mounting bracket and down the left or right side of the interactive whiteboard. Cabling for the UF55 and the ECP To connect the power, ECP and network cables to the projector 1. Remove the projector’s cable cover. 2.
3. Pass the ECP cable through the boom. The upper portion of the ECP cable is too thick to fit inside the cable slot. Put all the cables on the thinner portion of the ECP in the cable slot to the left instead. 4. Set up the ECP cabling by connecting each section separately. a. Connect the S-Video and two Audio cables from the ECP to the receptacles in section A. b. Connect the Video and two Audio cables from the ECP to the receptacles in section B. c.
d. 5. Connect the ECP DB9 control cable from the ECP to the DB9 socket in section D. Connect the VESA RGB (VGA) connector and the DB25 connector from the harness cable to the ECP.
6. Pass the Audio, VGA and network cables (not supplied) through the boom, and connect them to your projector. a. Connect the Audio 1 and Computer 1 VGA from your external computer (section E). b. Connect the RJ45 network cable from your external LAN receptacle (section F). NOTE: These cables are for optional equipment. Audio In S-video Audio In Video Computer (VGA) 2 VGA Audio 2 Audio 1 Computer (VGA) 1 Service Replace the projector’s cable cover. 8.
Connecting Audio/Visual Outputs from Your Guest Computer to Your Interactive Whiteboard System’s ECP Input IMPORTANT Use the VGA connector on the ECP to connect your guest computer’s video output. If you do not have a guest computer, you can use the VGA connector on the ECP to connect your host computer’s video output. Most laptops require configuration to output VGA signals. To connect your guest computer’s video or audio output to your ECP 1. Turn off your interactive whiteboard system. 2.
Connecting Peripheral Visual or Audio-Visual Devices To connect a DVD/Blu-ray player, VCR, document camera, digital camera or other visual or audio-visual peripheral device to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard system, you must connect the device’s video and audio outputs to the ECP. You can have up to three peripheral devices and a host computer connected at one time.
