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.
1.SAFETY Users definition Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL 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 to minimize the potential risk to themselves or other persons.
Page 11
• 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.
Page 12
If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. • 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.
• Projector air inlets and outlets • Installation process overview ARNING: Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guar- antee. Observing the specification mentioned in this chapter is critical for projector performance.
2.General Main Power requirements The RLM W14 projector operates from a nominal mono phase power net with a separate earth ground PE. Projector Power requirements RLM W14 AC INPUT 100-240V 9.2A 50/60Hz The power cord required to connect the projector with the power net is delivered with the projector. Projector weight Do not underestimate the weight of the RLM W14 projector.
Save all packing material until the inspection is completed. If damage is found, file claim with carrier immediately. The Barco Sales and Service office should be notified as soon as possible.
This check should confirm that there are no broken knobs or connectors, that the cabinet and panel surfaces are free of dents and scratches, and that the operating panel is not scratched or cracked. The Barco Sales and Service office should be notified as soon as possible if this is not the case.
2.General Positioning the projector SCREEN FLOOR Positioning projector The projector should be installed at right angles (horizontally and vertically) to the screen at a distance PD. Note the distance (A) between lens centre and table surface is slightly variable. This distance (A) is nominal 14 cm in case all feet are turned in completely and the vertical lens shift is set to zero (0).
2.General It is mechanical possible to shift outside the recommended field of view, but it will result in a decline of image quality depending on the used lens and the zoom position of the used lens. Furthermore, shifting too much in both directions will result in a blurred image corner. Best image quality is projected in the On-Axis configuration.
