About this chapter
Read this chapter attentively. It contains important information to prevent personal injury while installing and using your DP2K-
CLP series projector. Furthermore, it includes several cautions to prevent damage to your DP2K-CLP series projector. Ensure that
you understand and follow all safety guidelines, safety instructions and warnings mentioned in this chapter before installing and
using the DP2K-CLP series projector. After this chapter, additional “warnings” and “cautions” are given depending on the procedure.
Read and follow these “warnings” and “cautions” as well.
Clari
fi
cation of the term “DP2K-CLP series” used in this document
When referring in this document to the term “DP2K-CLP series” means that the content is applicable for following Barco products:
•
DP2K-15CLP
•
DP2K-20CLP
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guar-
antee. Observing the speci
fi
cation mentioned in this chapter is critical for projector performance. Neglecting
this can result in loss of warranty.

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 defused 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”.
