Heat and Fire Hazard
Warning – risk of fire: do not place flammable or combustible materials near the device!
Barco products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations.
This device 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 device 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 device where no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than 40 cm (16") for all
Barco devices. Do not cover the device or the lens with any material while the it is in operation.
Keep flammable and combustible materials away from the device at all times.
Mount the device in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light.
Never expose the device to rain or moisture.
In the event of fire, use sand, CO2, or dry powder fire extinguishers; never use water on an electrical fire.
Always have service performed on this device by authorized Barco service personnel.
Always insist on original Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this
device.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the sides are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the device 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 device should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register, nor should it be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure
unless proper ventilation is provided.
Rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat.
