Only coolers and hoses exclusively developed for this application and approved by Barco are allowed to be used in this setup. The cooler is controlled by the projector and ensures that the ambient temperature of the laser banks, and all other components within the light source are within spec.
External Laser Cooler Module Image 1-2 1.2 Installation requirements Environment conditions In general, keep in account that the external cooler should comply with the same environmental conditions as the projector it is connected to. It is not advised to have huge temperature differences between cooler module, tubing and projector, as this will have an influence on the cooling liquid flowing through it.

External Laser Cooler Module Image 1-5 Stacking multiple cooler modules Stacking multiple coolers on top of each other is NOT allowed (neither loose modules nor when mounted in a rigging frame). The air intake of the upper cooler would take in the “hot” air of the lower cooler, even at a distance of 1m apart.

External Laser Cooler Module Caution: Only use the depicted mounting positions. For safety reasons, it’s not allowed to hang up the rigging frame with the tubes facing downwards. For technical reasons, it’s also not allowed to hang up the rigging frame with the tubes facing the right side. Image 1-9: mounting options when hanging from a truss beam •...

External Laser Cooler Module Image 1-13 Remove the protective plate (reference 2, Image 1-14) from the back cover. Image 1-14 Install the back cover again, without the protective plate. How to connect the hoses and cable? Ensure that all connectors of the hoses, chillers and projector are clean. Wipe away any dust before attaching. Connect the hoses between the projector and external cooler as illustrated in Image 1-15 (reference 1).
External Laser Cooler Module Image 1-16: Left: Male hose connection, right: Female hose connection Connect the communication and power cable (reference 2, Image 1-15) on the cooler with the same port on the projector. Use a long power and communication cable for this. Tip: Guide the long communication cable together with the hoses.
