To prevent fire hazard
• Barco 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 in the exhaust area must be not less
than 100 cm (40"). The exclusion zone on the intake area must not be less than 50 cm (20").
• Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
• For the F90 projector, the exclusion zone on the lens side within the light beam must be at least 1,5m.
• For the F70 projector the exclusion zone on the lens side within the light beam must be at least 1,0m.
• Caution! Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than
100 cm (40") to the exhaust vent.
• 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.
Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to avoid overheating. Minimum safety distance to the
exhaust area of the unit must not be less than 100 cm (40") and to the intake area, not less than 50 cm
(20").
• 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.
• 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.
