Safety
•
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
powering the projector or adjusting the projector.
•
To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to carry the
projector. The projector weights about ±26 kg (±57 lbs) without lens and rigging frame.
•
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 projector: This projector embeds extremely 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 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.
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 "High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 17.
•
Based on international requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone
between the projection lens and the related Hazard Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by
creating sufficient separation height or by placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator
training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in "High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 17.
•
Don't put your hand in front of the beam.
•
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.
•
A special device ("rigged frame") based on an external frame must be used when the projector is deployed
in a hanging configuration, or when several projector must be stacked. See installation manuals for the
correct use of these devices.
•
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.
•
It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Lenses, shields or ultra violet screens shall be changed if
they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by
cracks or deep scratches.
•
Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit filled with Green Ethylene glycol diluted
(53% Glycol – 47% Demi water). When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact qualified
service personnel. The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral
intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the
noxious fumes.
•
Never point or allow light to be directed on people or reflective objects within the HD zone.
•
All operators shall have received adequate training and be aware of the potential hazards.
•
In case of using an external cooling system position the hoses of the cooling system so that they will not
be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
To prevent fire hazard
•
Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
•
Barco 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
