BX-AL133 Anamorphic Lens User’s Manual
User’s Manual BX-AL133 Safety 1. Read and understand instructions and heed warnings before beginning installation. 2. Mount rail securely. The lens is heavy, and requires a secure and stable surface. Fasteners in sheetrock alone are not safe. Reciprocal lens motion can and will work them loose. Use a board, plate, or projector mount fixed to ceiling joists or studs. 3. Anticipate unexpected lens motion. A malfunction can cause the lens to move unexpectedly.

User’s Manual BX-AL133 Plan Your Installation The lens assembly may be mounted in one of two ways: 1. To the ceiling or projector mount above the projector 2. To a shelf or table below the projector When attaching the motor assembly to the ceiling, use a board, plate or lens-enabled projector mount that is attached to ceiling joists or studs. Sheetrock embedded fasteners can and will become loose with repeated lens movement, causing the mechanism to fall, resulting in possible severe injury.
User’s Manual BX-AL133 Mounting Sled to Shelf or Ceiling When installing the motorized sled, make sure that you first mark screw locations using only the sled−without the lens and/or the lens bracket in place. Do not rely on fasteners embedded in sheetrock alone. Reciprocal lens movement can and will work them loose and cause the mechanism to fall. Mount the sled on a plate, board, or lens-enabled projector mount affixed to ceiling joists for safety.
User’s Manual BX-AL133 2. Securing the mounting plate Because the mechanism and lens are heavy, make sure the mounting fasteners and surface are extremely secure. Remember that the sled motor will be starting and stopping a heavy weight thousands of times through normal use. Ceiling mounted lenses require a secure surface. Sheetrock anchors alone are insufficient. Secure the mounting bar to a plate, painted board, or lens-enabled projector mount that is securely affixed to the studs or ceiling joists.
User’s Manual BX-AL133 Setup 1. Power up the sled and set LENS IN position Slide the lens into the middle of the sled before powering up. Plug the power adaptor into an AC outlet, then into the back of the unit as illustrated. Using the remote, press the “lens in” button. The lens sled will slowly position itself into the factory default LENS IN position. The edge of the adaptor plate will land about a half-inch from the motor housing side of the sled.
User’s Manual BX-AL133 3. Attaching the lens to the bracket Attach the Optoma BX-AL133 anamorphic lens to the bracket using the plastic knobs supplied with the lens. Adjust the anamorphic lens vertically for correct alignment. When the image is correct, tighten the knobs against the bracket. Using the remote, test run LENS IN and LENS OUT commands.

User’s Manual BX-AL133 Remote Control and Motor Operation The LED indicator on the sled will glow when the unit is ON, and flash when any button is pressed.

User’s Manual BX-AL133 Rear Panel − Triggers and Sensors To use the automatic lens trigger, your projector or scalar must be equipped with a lens trigger and a standard double-ended 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) male mono or stereo jack cable. Simply plug the cable into the projector’s lens trigger jack and into the sled +12V TriggerIn jack. Follow the projector or scalar instructions to configure the lens trigger.

Mark the ceiling location and repeat for the other chain hook. Procure and install the ceiling hooks at those locations small enough to accept a chain end, and strong enough when installed to support approximately 40 pounds (or more).
