Installation
AC Power Test
- Insert DC power supply plug into 12 VDC jack.
- Plug power adaptor into AC wall outlet.
- The Net LED should turn on and stay lit.
RF Coax and iCC-Net Operation
- Connect the TV to CATV and observe quality of RF broadcasting. A low-quality CATV system can also affect performance of the iCC-Net commands. If needed, fix CATV problems before installing the system.
- Connect the CATV RF Coax cable into the RF In input on the ICC2-VDC.
- If the iCC-Net signal is operating, the Net LED will blink once per second.
- Connect the RF loop cable from the RF Out jack to the TV’s RF connector (remember, you lose less than 1.5 dbmV by going through the ICC2-VDC’S internal RF tap).
AV Wiring
- Connect audio and video outputs of the VDC into the audio and video inputs of the projector.
- You may use the left or right audio output for a projector with mono audio, both for a TV with stereo audio (ICC2-VDC sound is mono).
- Set the projector to its Video Input to view on-screen setup commands from the VDC.
RS-232 Port Wiring
The RS-232 Control port includes connections for data transmit and receive, RTS/CTS handshaking and optional wired IR serial control. Most models do not require RTS/CTS handshaking. IR serial is optional and rarely recommended for plasma displays.
Tip: At this point, you’ve set up the control wiring and the manufacturer’s commands sent will be programmed or changed with the On-Screen Setup Menu 45700. Press the Power button on the VDC. If the Projector turns on and off, the settings are already correct.
Firmware Updates
Units that have serial # 325-5030-XXXX are updatable via the iC-Net RF network, using SF-series firmware update software and an RS-232 connection through an ICE or ICC-HE Head End. Older units can be updated with chip replacement at the factory or in the field. There is a small charge for replacement firmware chips.
RS-232 Control Codes
The following chart includes the current control codes for many brands and types of video displays already stored in on-board memory. While a manufacturer code set will control virtually all models in a given type or series, there are differences that arise, most commonly for baud rate, input selection, and options for internal tuner control. In addition, some models (especially for plasmas) may be OEM’ed from another supplier and use a different control code.
