2. Safety Information
To prevent personal injury
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before powering the projector or
adjusting the projector.
• Do not underestimate the weight of the projector. The projector weights ±240 kg (±529 lbs). To prevent personal injury a hoisting
tool should be used to lift the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens, cooling system 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 damage to the eye.
• 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.
• When the projected light causes a dangerous situation the operator must hit the beam stop button which is located close to the
control panel. The beam stop removes all power from the laser power supplies.
• Don’t put your hand in front of the beam.
• Do not clean the port window when the projector is switched on.
On servicing
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials
and risk of electric shock.
• Refer all servicing to quali fi ed service personnel.
• Attempts to alter the factory-set internal controls or to change other control settings not specially discussed in this manual can
lead to permanent damage to the projector and cancellation of the warranty.
• Remove all power from the projector and refer servicing to quali fi ed service technicians under the following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
- If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of the other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a quali
fi ed technician to restore the product to normal operation.
- If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• Replacement parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original Barco replacement
parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the Barco original part. Unauthorized substitu-
tions may result in degraded performance and reliability,
fi re, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may
void warranty.
• Safety check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
To prevent projector damage
• The air fi lters 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 fl ow 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 fl ow of air into its air inlets.
• If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air fl ow requirements are valid for EACH
individual projector system. Note that inadequate air extraction or cooling will result in decreased life expectancy of the projector
as a whole as well as causing premature failure of the lasers.
• In order to ensure that correct air fl ow 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 quali
fi ed service personnel.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector. Loose papers or other objects may not be
nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.
• 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 a laser beam on to the lens 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.
