Barco FLM series, Safety Manual

Page: 4 / 54

1. Safety
To prevent personal injury
• Isolated electrically before re-lamping. Caution : hot lamp (house).
• Caution: High pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to quali fi ed service personnel. The customer
should never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing or to dispose of the lamp casing other than by returning it to Barco.
• To reduce the lamp heat of the projector, switch the projector fi rst to standby and let the projector lamp cool down for at least 5
minutes. Then the projector may be switched off with the power switch.
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before inserting the lamp casing,
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 4 persons are needed to carry the FLM.
• 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 injury to the eye.
• Before attempting to remove any of the projector’s covers, you must disconnect from the wall outlet.
• When performing setup work to a ceiling mounted projector, to prevent injury caused by falling objects or the system, set out
a keep out area.
• Consult a professional structural engineer prior to suspending the projector from a structure not intended for that use. Always
ensure that the working load limit of the structure can handle the load of the projector.
• Never stack more than two (2) FLM projectors in a hanging con fi guration (truss) and never stack more than three (3) FLM
projectors in a base stand con fi guration (table mount).
• The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off the device, to access
parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the base of the device. In case the power input at the base of the device is
not accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the socket outlet supplying the device shall be installed nearby the device and be easily
accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the
fi xed wiring.
• 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.
• When mounting the device to the ceiling or to a rigging system, always mount security chains.
• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Shields, lenses or utra-vilolet screens shall be changed if they have become
visible 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.
• 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-8hour day to be
less than 0.1 microwatts 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.
• Cooling liquid circuit. The device head contains a cooling circuit fi lled with Blue antifreeze diluted (1/3 ethanediol – 2/3 Demi
water).
When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact a service technician.
The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxious fumes.
To prevent device damage
• The FLM has been designed for use with a speci fi c lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
• If the air fi lters are not regularly replaced, the air fl ow inside the projector could be disrupted, causing overheating. Overheating
may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
• In order to ensure that correct air fl ow is maintained, and that the device complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
requirements, and for 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 never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The
device should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement under and around the projector. Loose papers or other objects
may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.
• The device must always be mounted in a manner which ensures free fl ow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation of
the hot air exhausted from its cooling system. Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air.
Leave at least a free safety area of 1 meter (40”) at the rear of the projector.
• Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and unplug the mains
supply immediately. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by quali
fi ed service technicians.
• Consult a professional structural engineer when you have the intention to use this projector as ceiling mounted projector. Always
ensure the working load limit of the structure supporting the projector.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
