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.
•
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. 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.
•
Do not expose this projector to rain or moisture.
•
Do not immerse or expose this projector in water or other liquids.
•
Do not spill liquid of any kind on this projector.
•
Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and
have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming
operations.
•
Do not disassemble this projector, always take it to an authorized
trained service person when service or repair work is required.
•
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, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
to the device 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 connecting to the wall outlet or
adjusting the projector.
•
To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector.

•
To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers 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 laser: This projector uses
extremely high brightness laser. Never attempt to look directly into the
lens or at the laser.
•
The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect
device. When required to switch off the projector, to access parts
inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case
the power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. ceiling
mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed
nearby the projector and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible
general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
•
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.
•
High brightness warning: The projector light source must be switched
off when no projection lens is installed. It is hazardous to operate
without lens or shield. Always switch the output light off when replacing
a lens. Lenses or shields shall be changed if they have become visibly
HIGH
damaged to such extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For
example by cracks or deep scratches.
•
When installing an interchangeable lens with a throw ratio that makes
the projector become an RG3 unit, (See chapter "Available lenses" in
the installation manual), refer to chapter
Hazard Distance", page
•
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.
•
Warning: High brightness projector: This projector embeds 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
diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower
radiance value than native laser light. Nevertheless, when RG3, the
projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye when
exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specific related to the
characteristics of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced
energy of the light source; which is comparable with lamp based
systems. When RG3, 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
Hazard Distance", page
•
Always switch off the projector and disconnect from the mains power
supply before attempting to remove any of the projector covers or
access parts inside the projector.
•
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/
replace mechanics or electronics inside the housing or compartments
will violate any warranties and may be hazardous.
•
For correct physical installation, refer to the Installation manual.
•
Only place the projector on a stable surface or mount it securely using
an approved ceiling-mount.
•
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.
The exposer of this UV radiation is allowed for only 1 hour per day for
maintenance and service persons.
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 on the lens side must be at least 500 cm (197"). The exclusion
zone on all other projector sides must be not less than 100 cm (39.4").
•
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.
