On servicing
•
Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage potentials and risk of electric shock.
•
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
•
Attempts to alter the factory-set internal controls or to change other control settings not specially discussed
in this manual can lead to permanent damage to the projector and cancellation of the warranty.
•
Remove all power from the projector and refer servicing to qualified service technicians under the following
conditions:
-
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
-
If liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
-
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
-
If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those

•
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. Unauthorized substitutions may void warranty.
•
Safety check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
To prevent projector damage
•
The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth area
would be monthly-minimum. Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector,
causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
•
The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
•
If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air flow requirements are
valid for EACH individual projector system. Note that inadequate air extraction or cooling will result in
decreased life expectancy of the projector as a whole as well as causing premature failure of the lasers.
•
In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) and safety requirements, it should always be operated with all of it's covers in place.
•
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The device should not be placed in a built-in
installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
•
Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and
remove all power from the projector. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by
qualified service personnel.
•
Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector. Loose papers or other
objects may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.
•
Proper operation of the projector can only be guaranteed in table mounting. It is not permitted to use the
projector in another position. See installation procedure for correct installation.
•
Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same
room as high power laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely
damage the Digital Mirror Devices
•
Never place the projector in direct sunlight. Sunlight on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror
Devices
TM
in which case there is a loss of warranty.
•
Save the original shipping carton and packing material. They will come in handy if you ever have to ship
your equipment. For maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
•
Disconnect the power to the projectors mains terminals before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine or
