1. Safety
•
It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Lenses, shields or ultra violet 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.
•
Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation
: Do not look directly in the light beam. The lamp contained in this product is
an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin
hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and
your employees by making them aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin can be accomplished
by wearing tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV can be accomplished by wearing safety glasses
that are designed to provide UV protection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be
considered when choosing protective eye wear.
•
Mercury Vapor Warnings
: Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector
contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential
risk of inhaling mercury vapors:
-
Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.
-
Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.
-
Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a preg-
nant woman).
-
Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, short-
ness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.
•
Exposure to UV radiation
: Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an-8 hour day to be
less than 0,1 micro-watts per square centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure
employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines.
To prevent
fi
re hazard
•
Do not place
fl
ammable 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
fl
ammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition
of that material, resulting in a
fi
re. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external
surfaces of the projector whereby no
fl
ammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less
than 40 cm (16”) for all DLP Cinema projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. Do not cover the
projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. Keep
fl
ammable and combustible materials away from
the projector at all times. 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
fi
re, use sand, CO
2
or dry powder
fi
re extinguishers. Never use
water on an electrical
fi
re. 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
console to the outside of the building.
•
Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
•
Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhaust air or on the lamp house.
To prevent projector damage
•
This projector has been designed for use with a speci
fi
c lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
•
The air
fi
lters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth 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.
•
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.
•
Do not use this equipment near water.
•
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. A ceiling mount will be supported in the future.
