4 Maintenance

Installers, service trained operators and all other users must maintain a safe operating environment at all times.
Read through this section in its entirety and understand all warnings and precautions before attempting to
operate the projector.

4.1

Safety Warnings and Guidelines

This projector is designed for safe and reliable operation. However safe operation is not assured by design
alone; installers, service technicians, trained operators and all other users must maintain a safe environment at
all times.

IMPORTANT!

Please read through and understand all warnings and precautions before attempting
to operate the projector.

4.1.1 General Precautions

Never look directly into the projector lens or at the lamp. The extremely high

brightness can cause permanent eye damage. For protection from ultraviolet
radiation, keep all projector housings intact during operation. Protective safety
clothing and safety goggles are recommended when servicing. Keep hands, clothes
and all combustible material away from the concentrated light beam of the lamp.
Position all cables where they cannot contact hot surfaces or be pulled or tripped over.

NOTES: 1)

The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational

UV exposure for an 8-hour day to be less than 0.1 microwatts per square centimeters of effective UV
radiation. An evaluation of your workplace is advised to assure employees are not exposed to cumulative
radiation levels exceeding the government guidelines for your area.

2)

Be aware that some medications

are known to increase sensitivity to UV radiation.

This projector must be operated in an environment that meets the operating range specification, as listed in

Section 6 Specifications

.

:

Fire Hazard

. Keep hands, clothes, and all combustible material at least 1m away from the

concentrated light beam of the lamp.

:

Position all cables where they cannot contact hot surfaces or be pulled or tripped over.

This projector must be installed in an environment that meets the operating range specifications in

Section 6

Specifications.

:

Opening or removing a projector cover requires a qualified service technician.

4.1.2 AC / Power Precautions

Do not attempt operation if the AC supply is not within the specified voltage
range.

Shock Hazard

. Disconnect projection head and ballast from AC before opening any

enclosure.
