Health and Safety Precautions
Hazardous Material
Ensure you read the safety notices on page 4 prior to installing your system.
Danger of exposure to hazardous materials. Contact a specialist
for advice if you suspect your building contains hazardous
materials.
Power Supply
This proACTIV board is supplied with a universal voltage input Power Supply
Unit (PSU) branded "ACTIVboard" type number FW7400/06. This is the only
approved type of PSU for use with a proACTIV board. Do not connect any other
PSU to the proACTIV board.
The PSU does not contain any user serviceable parts and must not be opened.
If suspected to be faulty, contact an authorized Promethean service agent to
obtain a replacement PSU of the same type.
Inspect the PSU for physical damage to the casing and wiring
before use.
If damage is apparent, take care to avoid contact with any potentially live
parts. Disconnect the PSU from the electrical mains supply at the wall socket
and contact an authorized Promethean service agent for advice or replacement.
The PSU is supplied with a suitable mains input lead for your specific country.
It may also be supplied with additional mains leads (in the case where the
country has more than one type mains plug). Only use the lead which is
compatible with your mains outlet socket. Do not attempt to modify the mains
lead. If a compatibility issue exists, contact Promethean or one of its service
agents before attempting to connect the unit to the mains supply.

proACTIV board User Guide
proACTIV board Installation Options
Note: To avoid interference with the proACTIV board, we recommend
that the PSU is located at least 30cm away from the proACTIV
board.
The wall mounting option allows maximum flexibility for the many types of
walls found in building construction. If you feel that none of the suggested
mounting instructions suit your situation, consult the building plans or a
reliable contractor for further assistance with your installation.
Wall Mounting
Parts supplied:
•
Wall Mount Accessory Kit
•
Wall/Stand Mount Leaflet TP1443
Plugs and screws are not supplied for fixing the brackets as
these can vary dramatically dependent upon the nature of the
wall. You must use the appropriate fixing for your type of wall.
Wall Mounting Procedure
1. Determine a suitable position for your proACTIV board
Ideally, this should be a flat and solid wall. Fixing to a wall other than a
flat wall, may require the use of battens or our alternative fixing
brackets.
Determine the presence and location of all electrical wiring
and pipes before fixing the brackets.
Wires and pipes may be embedded within the wall. Use a proximity detector to
check the location of these if necessary.
Ensure the brackets will not be fixed within 150mm of any
electrical wiring or pipes.
2. Measure up
Mark the wall with a horizontal line at 950mm from the floor, then mark
the position of the bracket holes according to the dimensions given in
the TP1443 Installation Leaflet.
proACTIV board User Guide
3. Prepare wall
For a conventional solid flat wall, drill the bracket holes with a suitable
masonry drill. Other types of wall may require different drill types.
Insert the appropriate plugs. Screw in the brackets as described in the
TP1443 Installation Leaflet.
4. Fix into position
Two people are required to safely install, move and position
the proACTIV board.
Before lifting the proACTIV board into position, ensure the required
cables are connected to the electronics pod on the rear of the proACTIV
board.
Lift the proACTIV board up parallel with the wall and tilt the board
forward slightly, resting the bottom of the board on the bottom
brackets. Take extreme care to avoid the proACTIV board falling off the
brackets. Align the brackets on the rear of the proACTIV board with the
wall brackets and then lift it so that the brackets engage. The proACTIV
board should now slide down and the bottom should rest in the bottom
brackets. Ensure that all brackets are fully engaged.
Portable Stand
A portable stand, which is height adjustable, can be purchased separately,
contact Promethean for more information. To fix the proACTIV board, screw
the wall mounting brackets to the stand at the preferred height position.
Maximum load on proACTIV board stands must not exceed
30KG. Read all instructions before using the stand.
Never attempt to adjust the height of the stand without first
removing the proACTIV board from the stand.
Always ensure the two upper arm adjustment knobs are tight
prior to using your proACTIV board.
proACTIV board User Guide
Software Installation
You must install the software before connecting the proACTIV board to your
computer. Instructions on how to install the software are included in the Quick
Start Guide supplied with your product.
Your proACTIV board will be incorrectly configured with the standard USB
Human Interface Device Driver for your version of Windows if:
•
You attach the proACTIV board via the USB cable to your computer
before installing the ACTIVdriver.
•
You are using Windows XP, where the proACTIV board will initially be
incorrectly configured.
Refer to the USB Driver Getting Started Guide, available on your product CD,
for the instructions required to manually correct the installed USB driver.
Electrical Connections
Instructions on how to connect the proACTIV board to your computer are
included in the Quick Start Guide supplied with your product.
Extending the Interface Cable
Serial
The proACTIV board is supplied with an 8m serial cable as standard. You may
extend this distance up to a maximum cable length of 20m using the long cable
set, which is available separately from Promethean.
USB
The proACTIV board is supplied with a 5m USB cable. This may be extended up
to a maximum of 30m by the use of either multiple active repeater cables, or
multiple USB hubs and passive cables. For example, you can use five 5m active
repeater cables and a 5m passive cable, or five USB hubs and six 5m passive
cables.
proACTIV board User Guide
Operation
The proACTIV board provides a projection screen for your LCD projector to
display your computer’s video output while replacing your mouse or trackball
with a humanized writing tool in the shape of a pen.
Safety Notices
Be aware of the following general precautions before
operating any products:
Read all supplied instruction manuals carefully before operating your products.
Adult supervision is recommended at all times when children are operating the
equipment.
Promethean are always pleased to advise customers about classroom layout
and environment. We do however, always suggest that a space of 1m is left
either side of the board to allow for free movement.
The system has been designed and set up by trained personnel. Do not
attempt to alter it in any way; you may increase the risk of system
malfunction.
If the system malfunctions, never attempt any repairs by yourself, it will
invalidate your warranty.
Your LCD projector emits a beam of concentrated light. Do
not stare at the beam for any length of time.
Face away from the projector whilst working at the proACTIV board as far as is
reasonably practicable. Whilst facing your class, always stand outside the
projected beam.
Before cleaning the air filters, ensure that the equipment is
switched off and cooled down to an appropriate temperature.
It is recommended that this activity is carried out first thing in the morning.
proACTIV board User Guide
Projector
Recommendations
VGA or better video capabilities when used with an LCD projector. The LCD can
only be used to its maximum resolution and color depth when the video output
of your computer (video board) matches the LCD manufacturer’s
recommendation for the specific model you are using. The proACTIV board has
no upper limit to resolve your projected image or color depth other than the
limits of the LCD projector in use.
Preparation
Set up your LCD projection equipment and connect to your computer according
to the instructions supplied with those components.
Framing the Screen Image
Note: The active surface of the proACTIV board extends from edge to
edge, so your ACTIVpen will work anywhere on the proACTIV
board surface
Switch your projector on and project the screen image onto the proACTIV
board. Position the image and adjust the size so the image falls within the edge
strip, which is fitted around the edge of the proACTIV board.
Additional LCD Projector Adjustment
Most LCD projectors have a framing control that may require adjusting
manually. Additionally, many projectors have an auto image feature, which will
automatically adjust the image size and match the display to your computer
graphics card. This is to ensure the screen image is not clipped at the top,
bottom or edges. Consult your LCD Projector manual if you are not familiar
with this control feature.
Note: Perform the auto image or framing control procedure before
calibrating the proACTIV board.
proACTIV board User Guide
ACTIVpen
Your ACTIVpen controls your computer, your application software and your
operating system as you touch, click and draw directly on the proACTIV board
during your class, presentation or meeting.
Two pens are supplied so in the event of accident or loss you will always have a
spare.
The ACTIVpens ‘tune’ themselves to the board and are not designed to operate
alternately. When using a new ACTIVpen for the first time it is advisable to
approach the proACTIV board surface slowly to allow the board to ‘tune’ into
the new pen.
You are advised to use one pen at a time, keeping the spare in a safe place.
The pen tip is the equivalent of the LEFT mouse button. The side button is the
equivalent of the RIGHT mouse button.
The pens have a removable tip, which can be replaced should it become worn
with use. Contact Promethean Customer Services for a replacement.
Changing the ACTIVpen tip
1. Pull out the existing tip with your fingers or tweezers.
2. Insert the replacement tip and push into place fully.
Note: There are no user replaceable parts inside the ACTIVpens. Do not
attempt to disassemble them.

proACTIV board User Guide
Calibrating the proACTIV board
The projected image must be aligned with the computer referenced screen
image (orthographic correction) each time the LCD projector is moved or set
up. This is to align the pen and computer pointer image.
Calibrating the proACTIV board is a simple and quick procedure that can be
performed easily at any time.
If your installation of the proACTIV board and the projection equipment is
permanent, you will only have to re-calibrate after any adjustment affecting
projected image size is made, or a different computer is used.
In a non-permanent set up, should you or anyone move the projector or the
table (or the proACTIV board, if mounted on a stand) during or prior to the end
of your proACTIV board projection session you will have to re-calibrate.
The projected image should be within the edge strip on the proACTIV board. To
launch the calibration program hold the pen tip for two seconds over the center
of the illuminated spot, located in the top left hand corner of the board. Or:
•
For a Windows Computer
Launch the calibration utility by right clicking on the driver icon in the
system tray, which is located in the bottom right hand corner of the
Windows screen.
•
For a Mac Computer
Launch the calibration utility by double clicking on the proACTIV board
icon in the System Preferences screen, then click on the proACTIV tab
and select Calibrate.
The calibration program will prompt you to click on the active area with the
pen. The calibration program will then project a calibration cross. Click the pen
accurately on the center of the cross and another cross will appear. When you
have clicked on five calibration crosses, the calibration utility will automatically
close. Your proACTIV board system is now calibrated.

proACTIV board User Guide
Maintenance & Cleaning
Do not use abrasive powders, soap, detergents or petroleum
based cleaners or solvents on the proACTIV board surface.
Scratches cannot be repaired or removed and will make ink
and stain removal in that area difficult. Do not use metal
brushes, scrapers or abrasive cleaning cloths.
The surface of the proACTIV board is made to very high standards of durability.
In normal use you can expect satisfactory results every time with proper
maintenance.
Due to the high quality of projection surface it is not recommended that dry
wipe markers are used on a regular basis. If, however, the surface needs
cleaning after the use of such markers, we recommend the following methods:
•
For normal dry wipe markers use Sanford Expo Towelettes 81850.
Do not use a board rubber.
•
For permanent markers use Sanford spray cleaner 81803.
You should be able to obtain these products from an office supplies company.
A polish with standard household spray polish will restore the smooth writing
surface after cleaning.
