This section specifies how RS-232 and Infrared should be
wired to the Viewsonic projector.
A. RS-232 should be connected to the D-sub 15 female
terminal labeled CONTROL. Connection should be as
follows:
1. Wire the Panel to a female D-sub 15 as follows:
TX to 13
RX to 14
GND to 10
2. Connect this female connector to the projector port
labeled CONTROL.
B. The IR Emitter should be connected to the one of the
Viewsonic IR windows as follows:
1. Wire the Panel to a female 1/8” Mini as show; wire
IR/SER to tip and GND to ring. Splicing and direct
wiring to the IR Emitter is not recommended as it
makes removal of the Panel for service more difficult.
2. Connect the included IR Emitter to the female mini.
3. Affix the IR Emitter to one of the IR windows on the
projector.
Note that the emitter glows red when IR is emitted so wiring
can be verified.
SPECIAL CONTROL NOTE
Read before attempting to control the projector
The Viewsonic is configurable in ways that impact the
possibility of Smart Panel control:
• Baud Rate: The Viewsonic projector may be
configured via the onscreen menus to accept RS-232
control over a range of speeds. This Driver assumes
control will take place at 9600bps. Insure that the
projector is set to 9600bps in the onscreen OPT.
(OPTIONS) Menu: COM. SPEED setting. If not, set the
projector to 9600.
• Data Word: The Viewsonic projector may be
configured via the onscreen menus to accept RS-232
control over a range of data word settings. This Driver
assumes control will take place with 8 data bits, no
parity bit, and one stop bit (8N1). Insure that the
projector is set to 8N1 in the onscreen OPT.
(OPTIONS) Menu: COM. BITS setting. If not, set the
projector to 8N1.
