•
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, remove all power from the projector. This will prevent damage to the
projector 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.
•
Do not underestimate the weight of the projector. The projector weighs ±105 kg ( ±231 lbs). To prevent
personal injury a hoisting tool should be used to lift the projector.
•
To prevent injury, ensure that the lens, cooling 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 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 defused 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 specifically related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high
thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent to 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", page 21.
•
Based on international requirements, no person in allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone
between the projection lens and the related Hazard Distance (HD). This shall be made physically
impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area
operator training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in "High
Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance", page 21.
•
The projector shall be installed in a restricted access room equipped with a key or security lock preventing
untrained persons entering the Risk Group 3 use zone.
•
Switch off the projector before attempting to remove any of the projector's covers.
•
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.
•
Lenses, shields or 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.
•
The associated Safety responsible of the unit must evaluate the setup before the unit may be started.
•
Never point or allow light to be directed on people or reflective objects within the HD zone.
•
All operators shall have received adequate training and be aware of the potential hazards.
•
Strictly minimize the number of people who have access to the unit. The unit may never be operated
without permission of the responsible for safety.
•
Do not put your hand or any body part in front of the beam.
Do not clean the port window when the projector is switched on.
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 this projector.
•
Do not place any object in the projection light path at close distance to the projection lens output. The
concentrated light at the projection lens output may result in damage, fire or burn injuries.
•
Ensure that the projector is solidly mounted so that the projection light path cannot be changed by
accident.
