    To be linked to a chapter and page Installation conditions Environmental Conditions Barco projectors are manufactured according to specific design standards, which also include environmental conditions. Failing to follow the terms and conditions outlined in this chapter can result in loss of product warranty The table below summarize the physical environments in which the projector may be safely operated or stored.

  • Page 36: Initial Inspection

    Upon receipt of the projector, we recommend that customers inspect the projector for any signs of damage that may have occurred in transit. If damage is found, file a claim with the shipping carrier immediately. Notify the Barco Sales and Service office, or your preferred Barco agent, of the damage as soon as possible.

  • Page 37: Positioning The Projector

    4. Physical Installation The projector lens is delivered in a separate box. Positioning the projector AUTION The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from accidental or involuntary movement. Proper securing of the projector is the responsibility of the installer and user. The Projector are heavy, and can cause severe damage and injuries if falling.
  • Page 38 4. Physical Installation Parameter Value Thread size Length 18mm max 18mm max Where possible, the projector lens must be positioned exactly perpendicular to the center of the screen. Use the projector offset (lens shift), rather than physical angling, to correct any off-center positioning. AUTION The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from accidental or involuntary movement.

  • Page 39: Projector Safe Attachment Points

    4. Physical Installation If applied in a motion rig, care must be taken to stay within the environmental specifications for vibration and shock. It may also be necessary to use additional, custom means to stabilize the projection lens to make sure that the projected image remains in position and properly focused.

  • Page 40: Throw Distance

    4. Physical Installation Throw distance Calculate the installation throw distance Throw is the distance (D) measured from your projector lens to the screen. To calculate the throw distance for an installation, you will need two pieces of data: the selected lens throw ratio (L) and the horizontal width (W) of the screen. For example, if the screen width (W) is 2.4 meters and the projector lens has a throw ratio (L) of 0.99:1, then the throw distance (D) will be 2.38 meters.
