Hd For Fully Enclosed Projection Systems - Barco UDM Series User Manual

• In the event of any unsafe condition, immediately terminates (or designate the termination) of LIP
projection light.
Install one or more readily accessible controls to immediately terminate LIP projection light. The power input at
the projector side is considered as a reliable disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector,
disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible
(e. g. truss mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be
easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

1.5 HD for fully enclosed projection systems

HD
Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the
energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the
skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the
light source is less than the HD.
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The projector is also suitable for rear projection applications; projecting a beam onto a defuse coated
projection screen. As displayed in Image 1-4 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed
projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

For this type of setup 3 different HD shall be considered:
• HD as discussed in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance", page 16, relevant for intrabeam
exposure.
• HD : the distance that has to be kept restrictive related to the reflected light from the rear projection
reflection
screen.
• HD : the relevant distance to be considered while observing the diffuse surface of the rear projection
diffuse
screen.
As described in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance", page 16, it is mandatory to create a
restricted zone within the beam areas closer than any HD. In the enclosed projection area the combination of
two restricted zones are relevant: The restricted zone of the projected beam toward the screen; taking into
account 1 meter Separation Width (SW) from the beam onward. Combined with the restricted zone related to
the rear reflection from the screen (HD
