Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to
the eye.
•
Warning: extremely high brightness projector
: 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 represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly
within the beam. This risk is not specific 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. The Hazard Distance
(HD) is defined 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
“
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)
, page 16.
•
Based on international requirements, no person in allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone
between the projection lens and the related Hazard Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by
creating sufficient separation height or by placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator
training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)
, page 16.
•
The projector shall be installed in a restricted access room equipped with a key or security lock preventing
untrained persons entering the Risk Group 3 use zone.
•
Switch off the projector before attempting to remove any of the projector
’
s covers.
•
When required to remove all power from the projector (eg during service), always disconnect the power
from the projector mains terminals and UPS INLET connector. Use the disconnect device in the building
installation to disconnect the power to the projector mains terminals, and unplug the power cord at the UPS
INLET connector if the UPS INLET is separately powered.
•
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.
•
Lenses, shields or 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.
•
The associated Safety responsible of the unit must evaluate the setup before the unit may be started.
•
Never point or allow light to be directed on people or reflective objects within the HD zone.
•
All operators shall have received adequate training and be aware of the potential hazards.
•
Strictly minimize the number of people who have access to the unit. The unit may never be operated
without permission of the responsible for safety.
•
Do not put your hand or any body part in front of the beam.
Do not clean the port window when the projector is switched on.
•
For a stand alone cooler, position the tubes so that they will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot
surfaces.
To prevent fire hazard
•
Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the 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 flammable or combustible materials into close
proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this
reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an
“
exclusion zone
”
around all external surfaces of the projector
whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than 40
cm (16
”
) for this projector.
•
Do not place any object in the projection light path at close distance to the projection lens output. The
concentrated light at the projection lens output may result in damage, fire or burn injuries.
•
Ensure that the projector is solidly mounted so that the projection light path cannot be changed by
accident.
•
Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. . 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 fire, use sand, CO
2
or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never
use water on an electrical fire. 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 in this equipment 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 projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector
