Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide i

Important Information

WARNING

When you receive your Sympodium™ IM-150 integration module, the backlight setting is 70%

of maximum. This configuration compensates for degradation and extends the longevity of

the backlight and other heat-sensitive components. This setting is particularly important if

you’re operating the IM-150 in an environment where operating temperatures reach or

exceed 95°F (35°C). If you operate the IM-150 in such an environment, any alteration of the

backlight to a setting configuration beyond 70% will void your Limited Equipment Warranty

(see paragraph (iii) of Warranty Exclusions in the warranty).

The IM-150 requires adequate ventilation when installed in an enclosure. Do not install the

IM-150 in an enclosure without 9 sq. in. (58.1 cm2) of surface area set aside for ventilation.

WARNING

As the screen is extremely sensitive to liquids, don’t apply glass cleaner or any

organic solvent such as alcohol or even mild detergent. Use of these cleaners can damage

the screen’s finish or seep into the electronics, and will void your warranty coverage. See the

Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide for more detailed cleaning information.

Do not immerse the stylus in any liquid.

WARNING

If the screen is damaged, DO NOT touch any liquid that may leak from it. This liquid is an

irritant. If it makes contact with your skin, eyes or mouth, rinse the area immediately with

running water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician if this liquid makes contact with

your eyes or mouth.

WARNING

Do not use the IM-150 in a facility control system that requires extremely high reliability; the

IM-150 may cause other electronic devices to malfunction, or other devices may cause the

console to malfunction. Where use is prohibited, power off the console to prevent this

possibility. SMART Technologies Inc. does not accept any liability for direct or consequential

damages. For details, refer to the warranty shipped with the IM-150.

ii Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide

Other Precautions

For operating safety and proper installation, read this guide carefully and observe the

following precautions.

The IM-150 Components

•The digitizer inside the screen won’t work if you place it in the vicinity of a large

magnetic field. For this reason, keep speakers and power transformers away from the

screen.

•Do not place sharp or heavy objects on the IM-150 – especially on the screen. These

objects may scratch the screen’s surface or block the ventilation holes. Do not use

any instrument other than the tethered stylus on the screen. Other instruments may

damage the screen’s coating.

•Do not connect or disconnect the video or power cable while the Sympodium IM-150

console is on. Doing so may damage the liquid crystal display (LCD) and the

computer video card.

•Use the IM-150 with a VGA or DVI graphics card. An inappropriate graphics card may

damage the screen.

•Do not exceed a horizontal refresh rate of 75 Hz for input devices. This can cause the

screen to overheat.

•The X-Port™ 30 unit can support only one control panel at a time. If you connect two

panels, the system will malfunction.

The Stylus

•The stylus is a sealed unit. There aren’t any user-repairable parts inside the stylus,

nor are there any batteries. If you attempt to open the stylus, you may break the seal

and render the stylus unusable.

•With use, the stylus wears down. Do not use a stylus that has worn down to a sharp or

angular tip, as it may damage the screen. See the Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide

for information on changing the stylus tip.

•Prevent children from playing with the stylus because they may accidentally remove

the small tip, which can be a choking hazard

The Environment

•Avoid setting up and using the IM-150 in an area with excessive levels of dust,

humidity and cigarette smoke, where it’s exposed to direct sunlight, severe

temperature changes, heat from other appliances, water or any other liquid

•Do not modify the power cords. Handle them carefully and avoid excessive bending.

You should route the power cords in an area where they’re unlikely to be stepped on,

or pinched by items placed on or against them. If you must run a cable over the floor,

lay it in a flat, straight line and secure it to the floor with tape or a cable management

strip of contrasting color.

•The IM-150 comes with two three-prong, grounding-type power plugs. These plugs

will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. If you’re unable to insert either plug into

an outlet, contact your electrician to replace the outlet. Do not circumvent the plug’s

safety restriction.

•Place the IM-150 in a location where end users have clear and direct access to the

main power plugs, as they must be able to unplug either component at all times.

Always disconnect a component before performing any installation or maintenance.

Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide iii

•Disconnect the power to the components during an electrical storm, or if they won’t be

used over a long period of time

•Avoid subjecting the components to intensive shock or vibration. You may damage

any component if you hit or drop it.

•If you or the service technician needs replacement parts, use ones specified by

SMART Technologies Inc., or parts approved by SMART that have the same

characteristics as the originals

Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide 1

The Sympodium IM-150 Integration Module: A

Technical Overview

The Sympodium IM-150 interactive lectern integration module can be integrated with your

podium or desk and electronic peripherals to make an interactive presentation environment.

The module consists of two main components: the console and the X-Port 30 unit

When you integrate these components with your input sources (computers or video display

devices), you provide dynamic and interactive tools for presenters, speakers and teachers.

Moreover, the Sympodium IM-150 integration module provides a powerful interactive writing

surface that allows presenters to control and annotate over any computer application while

standing at the console, facing their audience.

Presenters can interact with up to three input sources, which can include their own laptop

computer or other video devices. A simple press of a button makes the image output of the

active source display on the interactive screen and up to two other connected video displays,

such as a projector and an external monitor. The IM-150 also sends the audio signal to any

connected room sound system.

This guide describes the functions of the console and the X-Port 30 unit, and how to integrate

these components with other systems. While some sections briefly discusses how to use the two

components, refer to the Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide for more detailed instructions on

using the IM-150.

The Console

The Sympodium IM-150 console includes the following:

•interactive screen – a 15" (38.1 cm) liquid-crystal display (LCD) that uses an

electromagnetic digitizer

•stylus – a tethered electromagnetic stylus that controls the LCD panel

•pen tool buttons – for users to select stylus behavior with a simple button press

•connectivity ports – serial, video and power ports are on the back of the console

Electromagnetic Stylus

Power Button

Pen Tool Buttons

On-Screen Display Control Buttons

Indicators

Interactive Screen

Stylus Tether

You can easily integrate the console into many varieties of desk, table or lectern-type

furniture.

The display source for the screen depends on the user’s selection on the X-Port 30 unit

control panel. When a source button is pressed, the X-Port 30 unit sends RS-232 serial data

and RGBHV video signals from one of three connected input sources to the screen.

2Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide

The Interactive Screen

The screen is a display device with a native resolution of 1024 x 768.

Integrated into the screen is an electromagnetic digitizer, which makes the screen interactive.

However, this digitizer won’t function if placed in the vicinity of a large magnetic field. For this

reason, keep speakers and power transformers away from the screen.

Stylus and Pen Tool Buttons

You can use the pen tool buttons to control the behavior of the stylus. These buttons

illuminate when active, with the exception of the Keyboard button. This is because you can

have the Keyboard open and still change the stylus behavior, so you don’t need a visual

indication for the Keyboard button.

The pen tool buttons include:

•Left-Click (the default tool)

•Right-Click

•Eraser

•Black, Blue, Red and Green electronic ink

•Keyboard

The interactive screen only responds to stylus contact with the screen. At the contact point,

the electronics in the stylus generate X,Y coordinates. These coordinates and information on

the selected pen tool are sent to the X-Port 30 unit through a standard straight-through 6'

(1.8m) RS-232 serial cable (DB9M/F).

NOTE: The connected computer must be running SMART Board software to interpret the

stylus coordinates as mouse activity. While the integration module comes with the most

recently released version of SMART Board software, you can also use SMART Board

driver 7.0 or greater (Microsoft® Windows® operating systems) or SMART Board driver 6.0.2

or greater (Macintosh computers) to operate the IM-150.

Connectivity Ports

The console has three ports: a female RS-232 port, a female RGBHV video port and a power

port.

The serial port on the console uses an RS-232 cable with standard 9-pin connectors. For a

detailed diagram of the port, including cable pin assignments and other RS-232-related

connection information, see page 45.

NOTE: If you don’t connect the console directly to the X-Port 30 unit, connect it to an RS-232

device that supports modem controls.
