specifically related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is
equivalent to 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
“
High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)
, page 7.
•
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 made 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
High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)
, page 7.
•
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.
•
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.
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,

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 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 rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent hot exhaust air from
projector and cooling system to the outside of the building.
•
Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
To prevent battery explosion
•
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly installed.
•
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
•
For disposal of used batteries, always consult federal, state, local and provincial hazardous waste disposal rules and regulations to
ensure proper disposal.
To prevent projector damage
•
The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth area would be monthly-minimum.
Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector
shutting down during operation.
•
The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
•
In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and
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.
•
Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and remove all power from the
projector. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
•
Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector.
•
Proper operation of the projector can only be guaranteed in table mounting. It is not permitted to use the projector in another position.
See installation procedure for correct installation.
•
Special care for Laser Beams
: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power laser
equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of collimated laser beams on to the lens from outside the projector body can severely damage the
Digital Mirror Devices
TM
in which case there is a loss of warranty.
•
Never place the projector in direct sunlight. Sunlight on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices
TM
in which case there
is a loss of warranty.
