Safety
1.1 General considerations
General safety instructions
•
Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
•
Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by
authorized Barco service dealers.
•
All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals should be adhered to.
•
All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.
•
All local installation codes should be adhered to.
Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the applicable international safety standards.
These safety standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials
and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard and
having access to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises,
radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk of
fire. Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the user even when the
equipment's normal operation fails.
Notice on optical radiation
This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the
projector's optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting
the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance
value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye
and skin when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specifically related to the characteristics of
laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent with lamp
based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is defined from
the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the
maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter "Hazard Distance".
WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3
(Risk Group 3) IEC EN 62471-5:2015
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Restricted access location
This product may only be installed in a restricted access location. The definition of a "restricted access
location" is a location for equipment where both of following applies:
•
Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONNEL or by OPERATORS who have been instructed
about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and about the precautions that shall be taken.
•
Access is through the use of the tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the
authority responsible for the location.
Why a restricted access location: This is a RG3 product. Based on international requirements, no person is
allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between the projection lens and the related Hazard
Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing
optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator training is considered sufficient. The applicable
separation heights are discussed in
Users definition
Throughout this manual, the terms SERVICE PERSONNEL and TRAINED PROJECTIONIST refers to
persons having appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be knowledgeable of potential
hazards to which they are exposed (including, but not limited to HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC and
ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY and HIGH BRIGHTNESS PROJECTORS) in performing a task, and of measures
