2.2 Important safety instructions
To prevent fire hazard
• Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the chiller!
• Slots and openings in this equipment are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of both the chiller and the pro-
jector it is connected to; as well as to protect both from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the chiller too close to walls, or other similar surface. This chiller should never
be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This chiller 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. It is necessary to vent hot exhaust air from
this chiller and the projector it is connected to the outside of the building.
• Let the chiller cool completely before storing. Remove the power cord from the chiller when storing.
To prevent personal injury
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before powering the chiller.
• Do not underestimate the weight of the chiller. The chiller weights ±240 kg (±529 pounds). To prevent personal injury a hoisting
tool should be used to lift the chiller.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the cooling system, hoses and all cover plates are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
• Before attempting to remove any of the covers, disconnect the chiller power cable from the mains electricity for removal of all
power from the projector.
• When required to remove all power from the chiller (e.g. during service), always disconnect the power from the chiller mains
terminals and UPS INLET connector. Use the disconnect device in the building installation to disconnect the power to the chiller
mains terminals, and unplug the power cord at the UPS INLET connector if the UPS INLET is separately powered.
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and
possible injury to the user.
• If the unit is shut down, lock the power switch with a padlock to avoid unauthorized startup.
• All operators shall have received adequate training and be aware of the potential hazards.
• Strictly minimize the number of people who have access to the unit.
• Position the hoses of the cooling system so that they will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

2. Safety
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 chiller 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, water or other liquids.
- If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are

tions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may
void warranty.
• Safety check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
To prevent projector damage
•Theairfilters of the chiller must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth or installation area 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 chiller must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
• In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the chiller 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 chiller. If this does happen, switch off and remove all power from
the chiller. Do not operate the chiller again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
• Do not block the chiller cooling fan 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.
• 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 chiller mains terminals 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.
• Take into account the rated maximum ambient temperature and humidity of both the chiller and the projector it is connected to.
Always respect the most strict value of all connected devices.
Handling and transportation
• The staff assigned to handling the load must have the required ability and experience and must be skilled in the use of the lifting
means adopted.
• Use lifting equipment of a capacity suitable to lift and move the load.
• The person authorized to handle the appliance will have to take the appropriate measures to guarantee his/her own safety and
the safety of those directly involved. Place the package on a steady surface.
• When stacking packages, the specified limits should be observed to avoid sudden movements.
• Upon reception, each package must be inspected to verify the integrity and the exact quantity of its contents; in case of damaged
or missing items, contact the importer or the manufacturer directly to discuss the procedure to be adopted.

3.1 General description
Usage
The ULC-30A is designed and manufactured for the purpose of cooling the lasers and DMD of the laser projector. Cooling is estab-
lished by means of a liquid solution made of glycol and demineralized water.
A circulation pump forces the coolant to circulate inside a closed circuit where it acquires the heat generated by the equipment being
cooled. The radiator dissipates the heat acquired by the coolant by means of ambient temperature air generated by a fan.
The ULC-30A can be used either separately or coupled with another chiller of the same type. Two ULC-30A units are connected by
means of a serial connection.
The ULC-30A is controlled by the projector by means of a serial connection.

Furthermore, careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use
are critical to the optimum use of the projection system.
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. Neglecting
this can result in loss of warranty.

4.1 Installation requirements
CAUTION:The following are the environmental conditions of the ULC-30A chiller as one singular device.
While the chiller is connected to a projector with more strict environmental conditions, those conditions will
apply to the entire installation setup (projector, hoses and chiller).
Neglecting to do so will cause damage to the projector connected to the chiller.
Environment conditions
Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the ULC-30A chiller (by itself) may be safely operated or stored.
Environment Operating Non-Operating
Ambient Temperature Chiller alone: 5°C to 40°C, or the operating
temperature of the projector connected with the
Chiller.
-15°C (5°F) to 60°C (140°F)
Air cleanliness Clean office environment (equivalent with cleanroom
standard ISO 14644-1 ISO Class 9)
n.a.
Humidity 5% to 85% RH Non-condensed 5% to 95% RH Non-Condensed
Altitude -60 (-197Ft) to 3000m (9843Ft) Automatic decrease
of brightness possible for altitudes above 1000m.
-60 (-197Ft) to 10000m (32810Ft)
While the operating temperature may go up to 40°C for a chiller by itself; while it is connected to a projector
with harsher environmental conditions
Let the chiller acclimatize after unpacking.
4.2 Installation area
Perimeter space
The installation area must be level with an adequate load coefficient and prearranged for the installation of electrical wiring.

4.3 Unpacking
Packing description
Upon delivery, the chiller is packed into a wooden box inside a cardboard box. The wooden box is placed upon a wooden pallet
and secured with banding and fastening clips. Furthermore, to provide protection during transportation, the chiller is surrounded by
foam.
Once the chiller has arrived at the installation site, it needs to be removed from its carton box and pallet in a safe manner without
damaging the projector.
Components such as the DMD module, flexible hoses, etc., are packed inside apposite cardboard boxes.
The following figure illustrates the most common package type, the maximum dimensions, warning symbols and information affixed
to the packages.

How to unpack
It is advisable to unpack the machine near the installation area to facilitate assembly. Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the cardboard packaging.
2. Unscrew the screws of the wooden box.
3. Remove the cover.
4. Lift the side walls of the package
5. Remove the ULC-30A from the package.
The packaging material (wood, propylene, etc.) can be kept for future use or properly disposed of according
to local regulations.
Storage
If the machine is not going to be used for an extended period, it should be stored (possibly without unpacking it, or at least adequately
protected) in a sheltered place protected from atmospheric agents at a temperature between - 20 and + 60 °C.
Avoid storing the machine in places where weather conditions could prejudice its good working order.

4.4 Initial inspection
General
Before shipment, the chiller was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. As soon as the chiller is
unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred in transit. 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.
The packaging of the chiller is provided with a shock-watch label. If this shock-watch label was triggered (red
colored at arrival) during transport may indicate rough handling by the transport company. In this case, the
instructions mentioned on the label, should be followed, which are: adding a note on the “bill of lading” and
informing the transport company and the Barco sales and service office as soon as possible.
