Light Intensity Hazard Distance for G100 Series This projector may become Laser Product-Risk Group 3 (RG3) when installed with lens with throw ratio greater than 2.0. Permanent eye injury is possible when exposed to the high intensity light beam within the hazard distance (HD).
For example by cracks or deep scratches. • Exposure to UV radiation: Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends R5913458 /01 G100...

Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector! • Barco large screen 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.
Page 12
Replacement parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original Barco replacement parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the Barco original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards.

Safety 1.3 Product safety labels Light beam related safety labels for G100 Series Label image Label description “WARNING: MOUNT ABOVE THE HEADS OF CHILDREN.” Additional warning against eye exposure for close exposures less than 1 m. FDA laser variance (US projectors only).
Safety 1.4 Risk Group 3 Safety 1.4.1 General considerations Notice on optical radiation from G100 Projector when it becomes Risk Group 3. • For RG3, no direct exposure to the beam shall be permitted. For RG3, 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.
(HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand. R5913458 /01 G100...

The light emitted from the screen within the observation shall never exceed the RG2 exposure limit, determined at 10 cm. The HD can be neglected if the measured light at the screen surface is below 5000 diffuse cd/m² or 15000 LUX. R5913458 /01 G100...
About this chapter Read this chapter before installing G100 projector. It contains important information concerning installation requirements for the G100 projector, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions, required safety area around the installed projector, required power net, etc.
Prepare to install 2.1 Installation requirements Environment conditions Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the G100 projector may be safely operated or stored. Operating Non-Operating Environment Ambient Temperature 0 °C (41 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F) -10°C (14°F) to 60°C (140°F)
Page 21
Main power requirements The G100 projector operates from a nominal mono phase power net with a separate earth ground PE. Power requirements : 120-160 V / 200-240 V (+/-10%), 20 A, 50-60 Hz The power cord required to connect the projector with the power net is delivered with the projector.
This check should confirm that there are no broken knobs or connectors, that the cabinet and panel surfaces are free of dents and scratches, and that the operating panel is not scratched or cracked. The Barco Sales and Service office should be notified as soon as possible if this is not the case.

Position the projector to the desired distance from the screen. The distance between the lens and the screen, the zoom settings, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. For projection distances of each lens, see chapter “Lenses”, page • 360 degree free orientation installation: Image 2–14 R5913458 /01 G100...
How to select the right lens Determine the required screen width (SW). Determine the approximate position of the projector in the room. Start up the Lens Calculator on the Barco website: https://lenscalculator.barco.com/ to determine the possible lenses for your configuration.
