Warning Risk of Fire: Do Not Place Flammable or Combustible Materials Near Projector !
Barco large screen projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations. This projector
radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation, which is both normal and safe. Exposing
fl ammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material,
resulting in a fi re. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external surfaces of the projector
whereby no fl ammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than 40 cm (16”) for all DLP
Cinema projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. Do not cover the projector or the lens with any
material while the projector is in operation. Keep
fl ammable and combustible materials away from the projector at all times. Mount
the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the projector to rain
or moisture. In the event of
fi re, use sand, CO
2
, or dry powder fi re extinguishers; never use water on an electrical fi re. Always
have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco service personnel. Always insist on genuine Barco replacement parts.
Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this projector.
Slots and Openings
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the sides are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the projector and to
protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product too close to walls, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This
projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
Projection Room
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. The minimum exhaust air
fl ow requirement is 6.65 m 3 /min or 235 CFM.
Replaceable Batteries
The projector electronic is provided with a replaceable battery.
