To Prevent Fire Hazard; To Prevent Projector Damage - Barco HDQ 2K40 Safety Manual

Safety

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
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 or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never use water on an electrical fire. 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.
• Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air or on the lamp house.
• When the projector is used in portrait mode, the air outlet is positioned towards the floor. That's why the floor covering can become
very hot and must be resistant to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F).

To prevent projector damage

• This projector has been designed for use with a specific lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
• The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth 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 and unimpeded evacuation of the
hot air from its cooling system.
• 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.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Proper operation of the cooling circuit can only be guaranteed in the allowed projector positions. It is not allowed to use the projector in
another position. See installation instructions 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
there is a loss of warranty.
• Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices
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 projector mains terminals and unplug the power cord at UPS INLET 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 abrasive
cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent
solution.
• To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective coating,
therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or
thinner.
• Rated maximum ambient temperature, t
• The lamp house shall be replaced if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.
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 controls that are covered
by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of the other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
- If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
