Before reading further, you should review the following packing list to familiarize yourself with the
SmartPanel and its component parts. Verify that the complete Panel package and any optional
accessories you ordered were shipped.

port, one RS-232 configuration port, one Wired Remote/Infrared port, one
power sensor input, and seven low voltage relays.

Power supply

12V 600mA DC regulated

Legends

Pre-printed Legends to be inserted beneath each Module, each describing an
input (e.g., COMPUTER 1, DOCUMENT CAMERA, etc.). Blanks are included.
The matching font is TrueType™ Impact.

IR emitter

Dual blink type emitter to be affixed to the projector’s IR window. The emitter

This document.

SmartPanel
Configuration
Utility

CD-ROM containing Windows™ Configuration Utility software and a suite of
Drivers for popular projector models. The Utility allows you to configure how
the Panel controls the projector.

Note: To use this software you need an RS-232 cable (standard male 9-pin to
female). This cable is not included.

OPTIONAL COMPONENTS – included only if ordered.
Modules (4)

(SP2-CHAS)

The exact Modules accompanying your Panel are specified at the time of
order. Arrangement on the chassis is determined by the installer at the
time of assembly.
Note: Modules are only needed with the full-size SmartPanel.

Audio Follow Video
Preamplifier

Accessory provides switching and preamplification for all Panel inputs. A
video switching section provides additional video inputs for installations
requiring more video inputs than the projector supplies. The Preamplifier
can be configured to set gain and/or bass and treble equalization for each
channel.

Note: The Preamplifier is not needed if the projector’s internal speakers
and internal volume control are used.

Rack mount kit

Accessory kits allow the Panel to be mounted in a standard 19” rack. The
SP2-CHAS rack mount occupies five rack units. The SP2-SMCHAS rack
mount occupies two rack units.

Auxiliary Patch Points

(SP2-SMCHAS with
SP2-RACKSM-MOD or
SLB-1050B)

The exact Auxiliary Patch Points accompanying your Panel are specified
at the time of order. Arrangement on the chassis is determined by the
installer at the time of assembly.

Note: Auxiliary Patch Points are needed with the control-only SmartPanel
only when it is mounted in Modular Rack Mount (SP2-RACKSM-MOD) or
Slide Out Drawer (SLB-1050B).
