Barco F80 Series User Manual page 13

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 in the exhaust area must be not
less than 100 cm (40"). The exclusion zone on the intake area must be not less than 50 cm (20").
•
Do not place any object in the projection light path at close distance to the projection lens output. The
concentrated light at the projection lens output may result in damage, fire or burn injuries.
•
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.
•
Ensure no misalignment can occur. Prolonged exposure of wooden walls at close distance (< 20 cm) can
represent a fire risk. After alignment the projector shall be securely mounted to the pedestal.
•
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. It is necessary to vent
hot exhaust air from projector and cooling system to the outside of the building.
•
Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
To prevent projector damage
•
Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due
to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the
surface of the projection lens.
•
The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth area
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.
•
If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air flow requirements are
valid for EACH individual projector system. Note that inadequate air extraction or cooling will result in
decreased life expectancy of the projector as a whole as well as causing premature failure of the lasers.
•
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

•
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.
•
Do not use this equipment near water.
•
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
•
Never place the projector in direct sunlight. Sunlight on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror
Devices TM in which case there is a loss of warranty.
