1. Safety
To prevent personal injury
• Isolate electrically before replacing the lamp or lamp house. Caution: Hot lamp (house).
• Caution: High pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before inserting the lamp casing,
powering the projector or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 4 persons are needed to carry the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens, exhausting system and all cover plates are correctly installed. See installation proce-
dures.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to the eye.
•Warning: extremely high brightness lamps: This projector uses extremely high brightness lamps. Never attempt to look
directly into the lens or at the lamp. If the projection distance is less than 6 meter, any person needs to be at least 4 meters
away from the projected image. Avoid close range reflection of the projected image on any reflecting surface (such as glass,
metal, …) . When operating the projector, we strongly recommend wearing suitable safety glasses.
• Before attempting to remove any of the projector’s covers, disconnect to the projector mains terminals and unplug the power
cord at UPS INLET for removal of all power from the projector.
• When required to remove all power from the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect to the projector mains terminals
and unplug the power cord at UPS INLET
• 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.
• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Lenses, shields or ultra violet screens shall be changed if they have become
visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
•Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation: Do not look directly in the light beam. The lamp contained in this product is
an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin
hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and
your employees by making them aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin can be accomplished
by wearing tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV can be accomplished by wearing safety glasses
that are designed to provide UV protection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be
considered when choosing protective eye wear.
•Exposure to UV radiation: Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an-8 hour day to be
less than 0,1 micro-watts per square centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure
employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines.
WARNING:Never look into the exhaust output. High luminance and UV radiation could result in damage to
the eye. The installation of an exhaust system is mandatory before operating the projector.
To prevent fire hazard
• 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. 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 must be not less
than 40 cm (16”) for all DLP Cinema projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. 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. Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light.
Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO2or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never use
water on an electrical fire. Always have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco service personnel. Always
insist on genuine Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this
projector.
• 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. 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.
• 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
console to the outside of the building. The mandatory exhaust system must include a blower that maintain at least 10 m3/min
(350 CFM) when measured at the projector exhaust opening.
• Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air or on the lamp house.

1. Safety
To prevent projector damage
• This projector has been designed for use with a specific lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
•Theairfilters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth 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 projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets and the mandatory exhausted
system must be capable of removing minimum 10 m3/min (350 CFM) measured at the projector’s exhaust opening.
• In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector 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 projector. If this does happen, switch off and remove all power
from the projector. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans 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.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Proper operation of the cooling circuit can only be guaranteed in table mounting. It is not allowed to use the projector in another
position. See installation procedure for correct installation.
•Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power
laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror DevicesTM in
which case there is a loss of warranty.
• Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror DevicesTM in which
case there is a loss of warranty.

maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Disconnect the power to the projectors mains terminals and unplug the power cord at UPS INLET 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.
• To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective
coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent
solution, or thinner.
• Rated maximum ambient temperature, ta=35°C(95°F).
• The lamp house shall be replaced if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.
On servicing

Let the projector acclimatise after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the Light Pro-
cessor Unit.
Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector head, minimum 20 cm (8 inch) to ensure
sufficient air flow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as measured at the projector air inlet , does not
exceed +35°C (+95°F).
The installation of an exhaust system is MANDATORY. The installed exhaust blower must remove an air volume of minimum 10
m3/min (350 CFM) measured at the exhaust output of the projector.
Main Power requirements
The DPxK-32B operates from a nominal 230/400V 3W+N+PE 16A 50-60Hz (Y connection) or 208V 3W+PE 27A 50-60Hz (Δcon-
nection). The projector must be switched internally between a star connection to a delta connection or vice versa. See "Power input
setup of the DPxK-32B", page 20.
For a 3W+N+PE system, 400V is measured between the lines, 230V is measured between the lines and the neutral.
For a 3W+PE system, 208V is measured between the lines.
The power cord required to connect the projector with the power net is not delivered with the projector. It is the responsibility of the
customer to provide the correct type of power cord.
The cross-sectional area of the conductors in the power supply cord shall not be less than 4 mm2or AWG 10.
The power cord must be rated for minimum 300V in case of a 3W+PE (208V) power system, and minimum 500V in case of a
3W+N+PE (230/400V) power system.
To protect operating personnel, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) recommends that the instrument panel
and cabinet be grounded. In no event shall this projector be operated without an adequate cabinet ground connection.

CAUTION:The 200–240V power outlet (exhaust outlet) of the projector may not be used to provide power to
any other device than an external exhaust fan. Maximum allowed current : 3A.
Projector weight
Do not underestimate the weight of the Barco DPxK-32B. The projector weights about ±140 kg (±309 lb.) without lens. Be sure that
the pedestal on which the projector has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the system.
Barco offers a pedestal for the DPxK-32B. This universal pedestal allows a solid and easy setup of the projec-
tor. The universal pedestal has a separate compartment to install the UPS unit for the DPxK-32B. Futhermore,
the universal pedestal contains a standard 19” rack to build in the projector peripherals such as alternative
content switchers (e.g. ACS-2048)
2.2 Unpacking the projector
What has to be done ?
Upon delivery, the projector is packed in a carton box upon a wooden pallet and secured with banding and fastening clips. Fur-
thermore, to provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam. Once the projector has arrived at the
installation site, it needs to be removed from the carton box and wooden pallet in a safe manner without damaging the projector.
After unpacking let the projector acclimatises to a room temperature higher then 10°C (50°F) and lower then
35°C (95°F). Neglecting this may result in a start up failure of the Light Processor Unit.
How to unpack
1. Loosen the banding by pulling the free end of the banding loop in the clip.
Take off the box cover.

2.3 Initial inspection
General
Before shipment, the projector was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. As soon as the projector 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 DPxK-32B is provided with a shock-watch label. If this shock-watch label was triggered
(red colored at arrival) during transport, indicates that the package was possibly roughly handled by the trans-
port 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.
Box content
After unpacking the projector it is recommended to check if all following items where included:
• One short power link cable (mono phase) (in case no UPS is used) - Installed on projector.
• This manual (installation manual).
•CD
• Safety manual
The projector lens and xenon lamp are not included in the package of the projector.
Mechanical check
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.
Tamper labels
During installation please inspect the tamper labels, if they are damaged please contact Barco tech support.
The tamper labels are required by DCI to provide easy visual indication if the equipment was tampered with. The projectors are
tested and labeled for shipping to ensure that the system was not compromised before reaching the customers final destination.
These tamper labels can be found behind the input cover. See "Removal of the input cover", page 82.
2.4 Installation process overview
Let the projector acclimatise after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the light pro-
cessor unit.
Set up from A to Z
After you have unpacked and checked the projector you can start with the installation process of your DPxK-32B. This chapter gives
you an overview of all the different stages in the installation process which you have to follow to set your DPxK-32B up and running.
Each stage is briefly described and refers to more detailed step by step procedures in this manual. Use this overview as a checklist
to ensure that you have followed all stages in the setup process of your DPxK-32B.
Set up from A to Z
1. Check if all installation requirements are fulfilled such as the environment conditions of the installation area, capacity of the
exhaust system, electrical facilities, etc. Note that a solid pedestal is required to support the projector head. For more info see
chapter "Installation requirements", page 9.
2. Physical installation of the projector upon its pedestal and connecting the air outlet of the projector with the exhaust system.
Note that the exhaust system is MANDATORY. See chapters "Positioning the DPxK-32B at port window", page 15, and "Instal-
lation of the exhaust system", page 17.

2. General
4. Installation of a suitable UPS unit or bypass the power in and outlet for the projector electronics. See chapters "Power loop
through to the projector electronics", page 23 or "Connecting a UPS to the projector electronics", page 23.
5. Installation of the xenon lamp in case the xenon lamp is not installed in the lamp house yet. To install the xenon lamp the lamp
house has to be removed from the projector. To install the xenon lamp correctly and in a safe manner, see the detailed step by
step procedures in the chapter "Lamp & Lamp House", page 25.
6. Installation of the lens. First select an appropriate lens which throw ratio covers the screen size and the projector - screen
distance. Then install the lens in the lens holder of the projector. For more information about available lenses, lens selection and
lens installation see chapter "Lens installation", page 49.
7. Installation of the Communicator Touch Panel. See chapter "Communicator Touch Panel", page 65.
8. Alignment of the projected image on the screen. The projector can now be switched on to project its first image (test pattern)
on the screen. Then the image can be aligned with the screen size of the application. Follow the next steps to achieve that:
a) Place the ON/OFF switch of the projector in the ”I” position. As a result the projector starts to initialize. The status lights of
the projector lights up GREEN once the projector is initialized.
b) Press the STANDBY button on the local keypad to activate the lamp.
c) Press the DOWSER button on the local keypad to open the dowser of the projector. The dowser is open if the color of the
DOWSER button is GREEN.
d) Press the TEST PATTERN button on the local keypad to project one of the internal test patterns of the projector on the screen.
e) Use the lens ZOOM,SHIFT and FOCUS buttons on the local keypad the match the projected image with the screen. Tilt the
projector in case you can not SHIFT the image completely upon the screen. See "Lens shift, zoom & focus", page 52.
9. Resetting the lamp parameters. The “LAMP INFO” parameters which are stored on the controller board of the projector MUST
be updated after each installation of an xenon lamp inside the lamp house. Neglecting this update will result in poor performance
and short life time of the xenon lamp. See chapter "Resetting the lamp parameters", page 41.
10.Realignment of the xenon lamp in its reflector. For optimal performance of the xenon lamp it is required to realign the lamp
after installation in the lamp house. See "Realignment of the lamp in its reflector (manual Lamp House)", page 44 for more
information.
11. Adjusting the light path. Normally the lens holder and the convergence of the projector is perfectly adjusted at the factory.
Nevertheless, some applications require a readjustment of the lens holder, convergence or both. See procedure "Scheimpflug
adjustment", page 53, to adjust the Scheimpflug and see chapter "Convergence", page 99 to adjust the convergence of the light
path.
12.Registration of the projector. The DPxK-32B is DCI compliant and should be registered by Barco. Therefore, the digital certifi-
cate inside the projector will be used to secure encryption key communication between the projector and the rest of the theatre
system (server and theatre management system). For more info see chapter "Projector registration", page 71.
13.Projection of a digital cinema movie. Apply a single or dual channel SMPTE or DVI source to the input ports of the projector
and start up the projector. See "Source input ports of the DPxK-32B", page 62 and chapter "Starting up", page 69. Use the
Communicator Touch Panel to configure the applied source. See the user guide of the Communicator Touch Panel for more
detailed information.
