Ensure that you understand and follow all safety guidelines, safety instructions and warnings mentioned in this chapter before installing the NJORD projector. Clarification of the term “NJORD” used in this document When referring in this document to the term “NJORD” means that the content is applicable for following Barco products: •...
• Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference. • Installation and preliminary adjustments must be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by authorized Barco service dealers. • All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals must be adhered to.
Page 11
See the product safety manual for details. Users definition Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL refers to Barco authorized persons having appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be knowledgeable of potential hazards to which they are exposed (including, but not limited to HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC and ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY and HIGH BRIGHTNESS PROJECTORS) in performing a task, and of measures to minimize the potential risk to themselves or other persons.
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. R5913593 /01 Njord...

• Max units in hanging configuration, 2 units. • When hanging projectors on a truss with the Barco stacking frame, always secure the stack with safety cables between the projectors and the truss. • When using the projector in a hanging configuration, always mount 2 safety cables. See installation manual for the correct use of these cables.
Page 14
For lens cleaning follow the instructions precisely as stipulated in the projector manual. • Only use zoom lenses of the Barco TLD+ series on the 4K models of the projector. Using other lenses will damage the internal optics. For suitable fixed TLD+ lenses contact Barco or see Barco website.
Page 15
• Remove all power from the projector and refer servicing to Barco authorized service personnel under the following conditions: When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent eye exposure within the hazard distance. See table below for a definition of hazardous distances versus the throw ratio of the lens. R5913593 /01 Njord...
