1.2 Important safety instructions
To prevent the risk of electrical shock
• This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source. Ensure that the mains voltage and
capacity matches the projector electrical ratings (120-160V / 200-240V (+/- 10%), 20A, 50-60Hz). If you
are unable to install the AC requirements, contact your electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding.
• This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the
cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have
not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the device. For a replacement power
cord, contact your dealer.
• Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord. Replace the cord.
• Do not operate the projector if the projector has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined
and approved for operation by qualified service personnel.
• Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should
be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
• Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not expose this projector to rain or moisture.
• Do not immerse or expose this projector in water or other liquids.
• Do not spill liquid of any kind on this projector.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by qualified
service personnel before resuming operations.
• Do not disassemble this projector, always take it to qualified service personnel when service or repair work
is required.
• Do not use an accessory attachment which is not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the device
due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
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.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to carry the
projector. The projector weights about ±90 kg (±198 lbs) without lens and rigging frame.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers 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.
• 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 diffused 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 comparable 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
“ High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD) ” , page 17.
• High Brightness Warning: The projector light source may not be switched on or the shutter must be closed
when no projection lens is installed.
• Based on international requirements, no person is 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
