Safety
OnImage 1– 2 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If
required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier,
like a red rope as illustrated in
The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol.

AREA

USA market
For LIPs (Laser Illuminated Projectors) installed in the USA market other restriction zone conditions apply.
LIPs for installation in restrained environment (cinema theaters, business rooms, class rooms, museums ...)
shall be installed at height vertically above the floor such that the bottom plane of the hazard distance zone
shall be no lower than 2.5 meters above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be
not less than 1 meter. Alternatively, in case the height of the separation barrier for the horizontal clearance is
at least 1 meter high then the horizontal clearance (SW) can be reduced to:
• 0 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.5 meter.
• 0.1 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.4 meter.
• 0.6 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.2 meter.
LIPs for installations in unrestrained environment (concerts, ...) shall be installed at a height vertically above
the floor such that the bottom plane of the Hazard distance Zone shall be no lower than 3 meters above the
floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 2.5 meters. Any human access
horizontally to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, shall be restricted by barriers. If human access is possible in an
unsupervised environment, the horizontal or vertical clearances shall be increased to prevent exposure to the
hazard distance zone.
The LIP shall be installed by Barco or by a trained and Barco-authorized installer or shall only be transferred to
laser light show variance holders. This is applicable for dealers and distributors since they may need to install
the LIP (demo install) and/or they transfer (sell, rent, lease) the LIP. Variance holders may currently hold a
variance for production of Class IIIB and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporating RG3 LIPs. Laser light
show variance can be requested via the FDA online eSubmitter portal or via FDA Form 3147 referencing to
Barco's variance approval 2017-V-4837.
The installation checklist for laser illuminated RG3 projectors must be fully completed after the installation.
The installation checklist can be downloaded from the Barco website. The last variance holder in the
distribution chain is responsible to maintain the installation checklist and to make it available on request of the
FDA. In case Barco is the last variance holder the checklist must be sent to pvg@barco.com.
In addition to temporary installations (e. g.: rental and staging, lease, events ...) the following requirements
apply:
• Rental companies shall have a laser light show variance because they have direct relationship with the
installers of the rented equipment.
• This product shall be located in such a way that all propagating beam paths within the Restriction Zone,
and the audience can be directly observed at all times.
• Communication shall be maintained with other personnel assisting in surveillance of the LIP projection.
• In the event of any unsafe condition, immediately terminates (or designate the termination) of LIP
projection light.
