Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the applicable international safety standards.
These safety standards are the audio/video, information and communication technology equipment standards,
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.
The F400 projector is intended "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL familiar
with potential hazards associated with high voltage, high intensity light beams and high temperatures
generated by the light source and associated circuits. Only qualified SERVICE PERSONNEL, knowledgeable
of such risks, are allowed to perform service functions inside the product enclosure.
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.

1.2 Important safety instructions

To prevent the risk of electrical shock
• This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source. Ensure that the mains voltage and
capacity match the projectors electrical ratings. If you are unable to install the AC requirements, contact
your electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of grounding.
• 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.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the

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.
