Unifi™ 45 Projector Image Adjustment for SMART Board™

500 and 600 Series Interactive Whiteboard Systems

Applies to: SMART Board™ 560, 580, 660 and 680 interactive whiteboards with Unifi™ 45 projectors

Issue

After you install the Unifi 45 projector with a SMART Board 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard, you must

adjust the image alignment and focus. This document expands on the information in the SMART Board 600i2

Interactive Whiteboard System installation guide provided with your Unifi 45 projector.

Solution

In addition to adjusting the Unifi 45 projector’s focus, you can also adjust the projector boom and the mirror for

optimum image alignment.

NOTE: Before you adjust the image alignment, ensure that the interactive whiteboard’s pen tray isn’t secured to

the wall or a floor stand so that you can move the interactive whiteboard left or right to centre the image.

Preparing the Unifi 45 Projector Boom Height and Mirror for Alignment

To set the projector boom’s height

Before you adjust the projector’s alignment and focus, set the projector boom to the optimal height.

1. If the floor below the projector boom is level, measure the distance between the lowest point of the projector

boom and the floor.

2. Measure the distance between the bottom edge of the interactive whiteboard’s top frame and the floor.

For model 560 and 660 interactive whiteboards, the lowest point of the boom should be 2.25" (57 mm) higher

than the bottom edge of the top frame.

For model 580 and 680 interactive whiteboards, the lowest point of the boom should be 0.55" (14 mm) higher.

Measure this

distance.

3. If the distance isn’t correct, adjust the center hex screw at the base of the projector boom to raise or lower the

angle of the boom.

To adjust the mirror’s depth and vertical angle for alignment

1. Remove the boom’s front cover.

You can now access the adjustment screws.

2. Using the included hex key, adjust hex screw 3 to adjust the mirror’s depth for your model of interactive

whiteboard, as shown.

3. Adjust thumbscrew 1 to center the mirror’s vertical angle, as shown.

Make sure that the mirror isn’t angled too low or high.

To adjust the horizontal angle for alignment

1. Adjust thumbscrew 2 to center the mirror’s horizontal angle, as shown.

NOTE: These images show the mirror from below.

Make sure that the mirror isn’t angled too far left or right.

Focusing and Aligning the Image

To focus and align the image, project either a computer image, or the projector’s SMART Technologies logo onto

your SMART Board interactive whiteboard. For more information about connecting a computer to the interactive

whiteboard and Unifi 45 projector, refer to the SMART Board 600i2 Interactive Whiteboard System Configuration

and User’s Guide.

To display the SMART Technologies logo

If you don’t have a computer connected and you don’t see the SMART

Technologies logo, perform the following steps to display the logo.

1. Point the remote control at the infrared (IR) sensor on the front of the

projector, as shown, and then press the MENU button.

2. Press the left and right buttons on the remote to select Display

Settings (third menu from the left).

3. Press the up and down buttons to access the Background settings.

4. Press the right button to display the Background options.

5. Press the up and down buttons to select Logo.

The SMART logo displays on the screen.

To focus the image

Use the focus adjustment lever to focus the image.

To perform an image alignment

Use the following procedure to obtain a rectangular image that is slightly smaller than the interactive whiteboard’s

screen.

NOTES

• We recommend that you project a computer image while performing the following steps. If you do not have a

computer, use the projector’s MENU (see instructions above) to change the background to blue so that you

can see the full projector image clearly.

• Complete the procedures on the preceding pages before performing this alignment procedure.

1. Move the SMART Board interactive whiteboard left or right to center the image on the interactive whiteboard

horizontally.

2. Adjust the thumbscrew on top of the projector until the image is horizontal.

3. Adjust the center hex screw at the projector boom’s base to adjust the vertical keystone until the left and right

side of the image are parallel. Use in combination with thumbscrew 1 shown in the following steps.

NOTE: When you adjust the center hex screw, the top of the image moves up and down slightly and the

bottom of the image’s width changes.

4. Rotate thumbscrew 1 until the left and right sides of the image are parallel.

NOTE: The image moves up and down when you adjust the thumbscrew. Use in combination with the hex

adjustment screw at the base of the boom (see step 3).

5. Rotate thumbscrew 2 to adjust the horizontal keystone, until the top and the bottom of the image are parallel,

and the image appears rectangular.

NOTE: This thumbscrew also rotates and moves the image to the left or right. Use in combination with the

thumbscrew on the top of the projector (see step 2) to align the image.

6. Use the included hex key to adjust hex screw 3 to change the size of the image.

NOTE: Adjusting this screw may affect the other adjustments.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 6, using smaller increments. Adjust the image so that the top corners of the projected

image fit into the top corners of the interactive whiteboard’s screen.

8. When you are finished adjusting the image size, adjust the focus if necessary.

9. Secure the pen tray brackets to the wall.

You’ve completed the image alignment.
