• All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals must be adhered to.
• All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.
• All local installation codes should be adhered to.
Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1,
as basis for National safety regulation world wide. The safety standard covers information technology
equipment including electrical business equipment intended to operate in "normal" environments (offices and
homes). This safety standard imposes important requirements on the use of safety critical components,
materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy
hazard and having access to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external
temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection
against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing reduce the risk of hazards and contribute to
ensure the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment's normal operation fails.
Users definition
Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL refers to Barco authorized persons having
appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be knowledgeable of potential hazards to which
they are exposed (including, but not limited to HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC and ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY
and HIGH BRIGHTNESS PROJECTORS) in performing a task, and of measures to minimize the potential risk
to themselves or other persons. Only Barco authorized SERVICE PERSONNEL, knowledgeable of such risks,
are allowed to perform service functions inside the product enclosure. The term USER and OPERATOR refers
to any person other than SERVICE PERSONNEL.
When installing an interchangeable lens with a throw ratio that makes the projector become an RG3 unit, (See
chapter "Approved lenses" in the User manual), refer to chapter
information regarding precautions.
Refer to the user manual for the lens list and hazard distance before operation. Such combination of projector
and lens are intended for professional use only, and are not intended for consumer use.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY means installation can only be carried out by Barco AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL familiar with potential hazards associated with high intensity light beams.

1.2 Important safety instructions

To prevent the risk of electrical shock
• This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source.
• This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable. If none of the
supplied power cables are the correct one, consult your dealer.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the
cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Use only the power cord supplied with your device or original replacement cords. While appearing to be
similar, other power cords have not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the
device. For a replacement power cord, contact your dealer.
• Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord. Replace the cord.
Do not operate the projector if the projector has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined
and approved for operation by a qualified service technician.
• Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should
be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
• Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set.
• Do not expose this projector to rain or moisture.
• The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
