1.1 General considerations
General safety instructions
• Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
• Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by quali fi ed Barco personnel or by authorized Barco service deal-
ers.
• All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals should be adhered to.

Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1, EN60950-1,
UL60950-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, which are the safety standards of information technology equipment including
electrical business equipment. These safety standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components,
materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard and having access
to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability
and strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk of
fi re. Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the
safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.
Notice on optical radiation
This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors optical path.
Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within the
optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light repre-
sents a signi
fi cant risk for the human eye when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not speci fi c related to the characteristics
of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent with lamp based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is de fi ned from the projection lens
surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in
the chapter “Hazard Distance”.
