General conditions for us e

• Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or or iginal replacem ent cables. U sing other cables or cords m ay lead

to malfunction and permane nt damage to the unit.

• Always use a g rounded (3–pronged) power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never us e 2-pronged power cords, as

this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.

• Do not attempt to open the projector unit. The projector contains no use r serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to qualiﬁed per-

sonnel only. Make sure that n o objects enter into the vents and openings

of the chassis.

• Do not s pill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.

• Always remove the lens cap before switching on the projector. I f the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to the high energy

light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may perm anently damage the surface of the projection lens.

• Only p lace the projector on a stable sur face, or mount it s ecurely using an ap proved ceiling-mount.

• Always operate the pr ojector acco rding to the rotation guidelines. Operating the unit in other positions may reduce lamp life

signiﬁcantly, and may lead to overheating, re sulting in malfunctioning

.

• Always allow am ple airﬂow through the pr ojector. Never block any of the air vents. Never cover the unit in a ny way while

running. Allow for sufﬁcient dis tance to walls and c eilings to avoid ov erheating.

• Minimum safety (clearance) distance to the sides and rear of the unit is 50cm / 20” in any direction (15 cm/ 6” to ceiling).

• Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. D o not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than 50c m / 20” to the exhaust

vent.

• The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate t

he unit outdoors.

• Do not op erate the projector outside its temperature and humidity s peciﬁc ations, as t his may result in overheating and malfunc-

tioning.

• Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technica l speciﬁcation. Connecting to unspeciﬁed

signal sources or voltages may lead to m alfunction and permanent damag e of t he unit.

• Wherever possible, use main pow er supply with surge protection to prevent damage to the projector caused by unscheduled

power surges.

• Allow lamp to cool down for at least 60 m inutes before changing. USE ONLY ORIGIN AL LAMPS .

• Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure. It is recom mended that the power cable connector

(projector-end) or the mains power socket is accessible whilst the product is in use to enable mains power to be disconnected

2. Safety

To prevent personal injury

• Isolate electrically before replacing the lamp or lamp hous e. Caution: Hot lam p (house).

• Caution: High pressure lam p may explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

• To prevent injury a nd physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before inserting the lamp casing,

powering the projector or adjusting the pr ojector.

• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all cover plates are correctly installed. See installation procedures.

• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance c ould result in damage to the eye.

• Warning: e xtremely high b rightness lamp s: T his projector uses extremely high brightness lamps. Never attempt to

look

directly into the lens or at the lamp. If the projection distance is less than 6 meter, any person needs to be at least 4 m eters

away from the projected image. Avoid close range reﬂection of the projected image on any reﬂecting surface ( such as glass,

metal, … ) . W hen operating the projector, we strongly recommend wearing suitable sa fety g lasses.

• Before attempting to re move any of the projector’s covers, disconnect the projector power cord for removal of all power from

the projector.

• When required to rem ove all power from the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the projector power cord for

removal of all power from the projec tor.

• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product m ay fall, causing serious damage to it and

possible injury to the user.

• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Lenses, s hields or ultra violet screens shall b e changed if they hav e become

visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is im paired. For example by cr acks 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 e xposure. Protect yourself and

your employees by making them aware of the hazards and how to protect thems elves. Protecting the skin can be accom plished

by w earing tightly woven garments and gloves. P rotecting t he eyes from UV c an be accomplished by wea ring safety glasses

that are designed to provide UV pr otection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be

considered when ch oosing pr otective eye wear.

• Mercury Vapor Warnings: Kee p the following w arnings in m ind when us ing the projector. The lamp used in the projector

contains m ercury. In case of a lamp r upture, explosion there w ill be a m ercury vapor emission. In order to m inimize the potential

risk of inhaling mercury vapors:

- Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated room s.

- 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 wom an).

- Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions oc cur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, short-

ness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.

• Exposure to UV radiation: Som e medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American

Conference of Governmen tal Indus trial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommend s occupational UV e xposure 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 expos ed to cumulative radiation levels exceed ing these government guidelines.

WARNING: This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause birth

defects or o ther rep roductive harm. Recycle pro perly, d o not dispose of in ordinary waste!

WARNING: Service personnel must use eye and skin protection during servicing.

2. Safety

To prevent ﬁre hazard

• Do not place ﬂamma ble or combustible materials near the projector!

• Barco large s creen projection products are designed and manufactured to m eet the most stringent safety regu lations. T his

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 p roximity of this projector c ould result in the spontaneous ignition

of that m aterial, resulting in a ﬁre. For this reason, it is absolutely ne cessary to leave an “ex clusion zone” around all external

surfaces of the projector whereby no ﬂam mable o r combustible m aterials are p resent. The exclusion zon e must be not less

than 40 cm (16”) for all DLP Cinema projectors. The ex clusion zone on the lens side mu st be at least 5 m

. Do not cover the

projector or the lens with any material while the pr ojector is in operation. Keep ﬂammable a nd com bustible materials away from

the projector at all times . Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from s ources of ignition and out of direct sun light.

Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of ﬁre, use sand, CO

2

or dry powde

r ﬁre extinguishers. Nev er use

water on an electrical ﬁre. Always have service perform ed 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 an d to protect

it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The ope nings should never be blocked by placing the

projector too clos e to walls, or other s imilar 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 e xhaust air from

console to the outside of the building.

• Let the projector cool completely before s toring. Remove cord from the projector when storing.

• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of t he exhaust air or on the lamp house.

To prevent projector damage

• This projector has been d esigned for use with a speciﬁc lamp (hous e) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.

•Theairﬁlters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth would be m onthly-minimum).

Neglecting this could res ult in disrupting the air ﬂow inside the projector, causing ov erheating. Overheating may lead to the

projector shutting down during operation.

• The projector m ust always b e 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 E lectromagnetic C om patibility (EMC )

and sa fety requirements, it should always be operated with all of it’s c overs in place.

• Slots and openings in the cabinet are pro vided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the produc t and to protect it from

overheating, these openings mus t not be bloc ked or covered. T he openings should never be blocked by plac ing the p roduct

on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. T he

device shou ld not be plac ed 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 rem ove all power

from the projector. Do not operate the projector again until it has been chec ked by qualiﬁed service personnel.

• Do not block the pr ojector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector. Loose papers or other objec ts may not be

nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any si

de.

• Do not us e this equipment near water.

• Proper oper ation of the projector can only be guar anteed in table mounting. It is not permitted to use the projector in another

position. See installation procedure for correct installation. A ceiling mount w ill be supported in the future.

• Special care for Laser Beam s: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are us ed in the same room as high pow er

laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting o f a laser beam on to the lens can severely da mage 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 c an severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices

TM

in which

case there is a loss of warranty.

• Save the original shipping carton and packing material. They will come in handy if y ou ever have to ship y our equipm ent. For

maximum protection, repac k your set as it was originally pack ed at the factory.

• Disconnect the power to the projector before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for

cleaning. Nev er use strong solvents, s uch as thinner or benzine, or, patrol, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the

cabinet. Stubborn stains may be remov ed with a cloth lightly dampened with m ild detergent solution.

• To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an an ti-reﬂective

coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a so ft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent

solution, or thinner.

• Rated maximum ambient temperature, t

a

= 35°C (95°F).

• The lamp hou se shall be r eplaced if it has become damaged or thermally deform ed.
