To prevent personal injury
• Caution: High pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 4 adult persons are needed to carry the
projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all cover plates are correctly installed. See installation
procedures.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to
the eye.
• Warning: extremely high brightness lamps : This projector uses extremely high brightness lamps. Never
attempt to look directly into the lens or at the lamp. If the projection distance is less than 6 meter, any
person needs to be at least 4 meters away from the projected image. Avoid close range reflection of the
projected image on any reflecting surface (such as glass, metal,
… ) . When operating the projector, we
strongly recommend wearing suitable safety glasses.
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious
damage to it and possible injury to the user.
• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Lenses, shields or ultra violet screens shall be changed if
they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by
cracks or deep scratches.
• Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation : Do not look directly in the light beam. The lamp
contained in this product is an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from
this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to
ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and your employees by making them
aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin can be accomplished by wearing
tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV can be accomplished by wearing safety
glasses that are designed to provide UV protection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is
intense and should also be considered when choosing protective eye wear.
•
Mercury Vapor Warnings : Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used
in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor
emission. In order to minimize the potential risk of inhaling mercury vapors:
- Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.
- Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.
- Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room
(particularly in case of a pregnant woman).
- Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as
headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.
• Exposure to UV radiation : Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV
radiation. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends
occupational UV exposure for an-8 hour day to be less than 0,1 micro-watts per square centimeters of
effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure employees are not exposed to
cumulative radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines.
To prevent fire hazard
• Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
• Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent
hot exhaust air from console to the outside of the building.
• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhaust air or on the lamp house.
To prevent projector damage
• The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth would be
monthly-minimum). Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector, causing
overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
• The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
• In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) and safety requirements, it should always be operated with all of it's covers in place.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should
