Safety
• Caution: High pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before
inserting the lamp casing, powering the projector or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 4 persons are needed to carry the
projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens, exhausting 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.
• Warning: extremely high brightness lamps: This 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 meters away from the projected image. Avoid close range reflection of the
projected image on any reflecting surface (such as glass, metal, ...) . When operating the projector, we
strongly recommend wearing suitable safety glasses.
• Before attempting to remove any of the projector's covers, disconnect to the projector mains terminals and
unplug the power cord at UPS INLET for removal of all power from the projector.
• When required to remove all power from the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect to the
projector mains terminals and unplug the power cord at UPS INLET
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
WARNING: Never look into the exhaust output. High luminance and UV radiation could result in
damage to the eye. The installation of an exhaust system is mandatory before operating the
projector.
To prevent fire hazard
• Do not place flammable 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 flammable or combustible materials into close
proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this
reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an "exclusion zone" around all external surfaces of the projector
whereby no flammable 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 flammable 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 fire, use sand, CO
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
