Always have service performed on this product 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 device. 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 projector.
Do not attempt to service this device yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potential and risk of electric shock! Refer all projector service to a qualified Barco service center. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of the other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.

The burning life of the used lamps is very high. This long lamp lifetime and the low power consumption do not only reduce the cost of ownership but also contribute to saving energy and natural resources. ________________________________________________________________________ Barco - OverView D series - Doc-3353-2 - user's manual - Revision 04 - April 2005...

The projection engines has a dual lamp system and can be operated in three operation modes: Hot Standby, Cold Standby, Auto Switch mode. ________________________________________________________________________ Barco - OverView D series - Doc-3353-2 - user's manual - Revision 04 - April 2005...

Due to folding up the optical path by a mirror the installation depth of the O D projection unit is ex- ceptionally small. ________________________________________________________________________ Barco - OverView D series - Doc-3353-2 - user's manual - Revision 04 - April 2005...
The example shows a color wheel with three segments red, green, and blue. It is also possible that the segments for the primaries exist twice (RGBRGB), or that a white segment is added (RGBW). ________________________________________________________________________ Barco - OverView D series - Doc-3353-2 - user's manual - Revision 04 - April 2005...
Since there are two lamps, the dual lamp system can have four states: L1 on, L2 on, L1 on, L2 off, L1 off, L2 on, L1 off, L2 off Figure 3-4 Lamp states ________________________________________________________________________ Barco - OverView D series - Doc-3353-2 - user's manual - Revision 04 - April 2005...

(When servicing and while standing behind the projection module, the active lamp can also be selected via the manual user interface, cf. Manual user interface). ________________________________________________________________________ Barco - OverView D series - Doc-3353-2 - user's manual - Revision 04 - April 2005...
However, the light output of the projection systems with a 3200K filter is about only 58% of the light output of 6500K systems: the lamp employed in the OverView D series have a very small share in the red part of the spectral range.
3.6 Options for the OverView D series: lamps and color temperature filter For the OverView D series, there are three different illumination unit which employ 2x100W lamp, 2x120W lamp, 2x200W lamp, respectively. All three of them produce "daylight" at a color temperature of 6500K.
