Using External Sensors

You can execute operations from external sensors connected to the projector.
Depending on the signals from the sensors, you can execute one of the following projector operations that you have already selected in the projector's menu:
  • Power On/Power Off
  • Execute A/V Mute/Release A/V Mute
  • Start Playlist/Stop Playlist
  • Source Select
  • Light Source Mode: Normal/Light Source Mode: Quiet

See the EV-115/EV-110 External Sensors Setup Guide for details (only available in English).

Caution:
Incorrect connection could damage the product. Contact a qualified technician to connect the external sensor device.
Note: Up to two sensors are available at the same time. You can also select settings for a combination of two signals. You need to process the sensor cable so that you can connect it to the DC Out (2.0A)/GPI In port. Or, you can use a commercially available connector instead. You can also connect other external devices such as buttons and switches.
  1. Connect external sensors to the DC Out (2.0A)/GPI In port.
  2. Press the Menu button on the remote control, select the Extended menu, and press Enter.
  3. Select DC Out (2.0A)/GPI In Settings and press Enter.
  4. Select Always On/On as the DC Out/GPI In setting.
  5. Select GPI-1 Settings.
  6. Select the Low -> High setting, and then select one of the following operations to be executed when the sensor signal exceeds a certain voltage:
    • Power On/Power Off to turn the projector on or off.
    • Execute A/V Mute/Release A/V Mute to enable or disable A/V Mute.
    • Start Playlist/Stop Playlist to start or stop playing your playlist from Favorite Playlists. You also need to select the target playlist in the Favorite Playlists setting.
    • Source Select to switch the image source. You also need to select the target source in the Source setting.
    • Light Source Mode: Normal/Light Source Mode: Quiet to switch the Light Source Mode setting.
  7. Select the Combination setting, and then select one of the following options:
    • None to always start the operation set in GPI-1 Settings regardless of the GPI-2 signal.
    • GPI-2 Low to start the operation set in GPI-1 Settings when the GPI-2 signal falls below a certain voltage.
    • GPI-2 High to start the operation set in GPI-1 Settings when the GPI-2 signal exceeds a certain voltage.
    Note: You can check the current value for the GPI-1 and GPI-2 signals in the GPI Info. menu from DC Out (2.0A)/GPI In Settings.
  8. Select the High -> Low setting, if necessary.
  9. If you need to add a certain amount of time until the selected operation is executed, select Hold High or Hold Low. When the sensor signal is maintained continuously for the set time, the operation is executed.
    Note: You can select from 0 seconds to 30 minutes for the Hold High and Hold Low settings.
  10. Press Esc to return to the previous screen, and then select the GPI-2 Settings option if necessary.
  11. When you are finished, press Menu to exit the menus.
