To prevent fire hazard
•
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. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close
proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this
reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an "exclusion zone" around all external surfaces of the projector
whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than 40
cm (16") for all DLP Cinema projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. Do not
cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. Keep flammable and
combustible materials away from the projector at all times. Mount the projector in a well ventilated area
away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In
the event of fire, use sand, CO
Always have service performed on this projector 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 projector.
•
Slots and openings in this equipment are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the
projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This projector should not be placed in a
built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
•
Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent
hot exhaust air from projector and cooling system (chiller units) to the outside of the building.
To prevent battery explosion
•
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly installed.
•
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
•
For disposal of used batteries, always consult federal, state, local and provincial hazardous waste disposal
rules and regulations to ensure proper disposal.

•
To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before
powering the projector or adjusting the projector.
•
Do not underestimate the weight of the projector. The projector weights ±240 kg (±529 lbs). To prevent
personal injury a hoisting tool should be used to lift the projector.
•
To prevent injury, ensure that the lens, cooling system and all cover plates are correctly installed. See
installation procedures.
•
Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to
the eye.
•
Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious
damage to it and possible injury to the user.
•
Lenses, shields or screens shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that
their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
•
When the projected light causes a dangerous situation the operator must hit the beam stop button which is
located close to the control panel. The beam stop removes all power from the laser power supplies.
