To Prevent Projector Damage - Barco HDQ 2K40 Safety Manual

1. Safety
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 all DLP projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. 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. Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose
the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO
electrical fire. Always have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco service personnel. Always insist on genuine
Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this projector.
• Slots and openings in this equipment are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the projector and to protect
it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat.
• Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air or on the lamp house.
• When the projector is used in portrait mode, the air outlet is positioned towards the floor. That's why the floor covering can
become very hot and must be resistant to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F).

To prevent projector damage

• This projector has been designed for use with a specific lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
• The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth would be monthly-minimum).
Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the
projector shutting down during operation.
• The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation
of the hot air from its cooling system.
• In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
and safety requirements, it should always be operated with all of it's covers in place.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The
device should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and remove all power
from the projector. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector. Loose papers or other objects may not be
nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Proper operation of the cooling circuit can only be guaranteed in the allowed projector positions. It is not allowed to use the
projector in another position. See installation instructions for correct installation.
• Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power
laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices
which case there is a loss of warranty.
• Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices
case there is a loss of warranty.
• Save the original shipping carton and packing material. They will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For
maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Disconnect the power to the projector mains terminals and unplug the power cord at UPS INLET before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or
abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with
mild detergent solution.
• To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective
coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent
solution, or thinner.
