1. Safety
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,
resultinginafire. 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.
• Mount the projector in a well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Always allow ample airflow
through the projector.
• Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO2 or 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 re-
placement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this projector.
• Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid heat buildup.
• Let the projector cool down completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
To prevent projector damage
• To ensure correct airflow is maintained the projector should only be operated when all of its covers in place.
• Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to the high energy
light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface of the projection lens
• Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical specification. Connecting to unspecified
signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
• To ensure correct airflow is maintained, it should only be operated when all of its covers are in place.
• The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation
of the hot air from its cooling system.
• 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 unplug the mains supply immediately. Do not
operate the projector again until it has been checked by Barco authorized service personnel.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector. 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”).
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications as this may result in overheating and malfunc-
tion.
• Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices™ in which
case there is a loss of warranty.
• 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.

1.3 Projector Hazard Distances
For F90 series: WARNING. This may be a RG3 laser Product, dependent on which lens used.
This projector may become Risk Group 3 (RG3) when an interchangeable lens with throw ratio greater than 3.15 is installed. For
Northern America, installation requirements according to Risk group 3 (RG3) must be followed when interchangeable lens with throw
ratio greater than 2.33 is installed
Refer to the product manual for the lens list and throw ratio before operation.
Do not look directly in to the beam from the projector lens.
No direct eye exposure to the beam is permitted.
Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent eye exposure
within the hazard distance.
See table below for a definition of hazardous distances versus the throw ratio of the lens.
For F70 Series: WARNING. This may be a RG3 laser Product, dependent on which lens used.
This projector may become Risk Group 3 (RG3) when an interchangeable lens with throw ratio greater than 4.7 is installed. For
Northern America, installation requirements according to Risk group 3 (RG3) must be followed when interchangeable lens with throw
ratio greater than 2.5 is installed
Refer to the product manual for the lens list and throw ratio before operation.
Do not look directly in to the beam from the projector lens.
No direct eye exposure to the beam is permitted.
Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent eye exposure
within the hazard distance.
See table below for a definition of hazardous distances versus the throw ratio of the lens.
1.4 High Brightness Precautions
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD (Hazard Distance).
The HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed. See next chapter"HD in function
of the lens Throw Ratio (TR)", page 8 .
To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors) the installation shall comply with the following installation requirements: Opera-
tors shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at the height that will prevent spectators’ eyes
from being in the hazard distance. Radiation levels in excess of the limits will not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meter (SH)
above any surface upon which persons other than operators, performers, or employees are permitted to stand or less than 1.0 meter
(SH) lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In non-cinema environments where unrestrained
601–426 F70 SERIES 24/10/2017 7

1. Safety
behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential
exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual’s shoulders, within the HD.
These values are minimum values and are based on the guidance provided in IEC 62471-5:2015 section 6.6.5.
The end user must understand the risk and apply protective measures based upon the hazard distance as indicated on the label and
in the user information. Installation method, barriers, detection system or other applicable control measure shall prevent hazardous
eye access to the radiation within the hazard distance.
For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where persons may be present
should be positioned in accordance with “the fixed projector installation” parameters, resulting in a HD that does not extend into
the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the floor level. In non-cinema environments where unrestrained
behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential
exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual’s shoulders, within the HD. For example, a sufficiently large
separation height may be achieved by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.
For applications installed in the USA market the above limits for cinema like environments do not apply. The relevant minimum
separation height is 2.5m (8,2 ft) by the FDA CDRH. Non cinema like environments require 2.5 meter (8.2 ft) separation height
and 1.0 meter (3.3 ft) separation width for areas where restrained behavior is to be expected. All other areas require 3.0 (9.9 ft)
separation height.

Based on national requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between the projection lens and
the related hazard distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing barriers.
The minimum separation height takes into account the surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees
are permitted to stand.
On image 1-2 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If required a restricted zone
(RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier, like a red rope as illustrated in image 1-2.
The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol.

1.5 Hazard Distance for fully closed projection system
HD
Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface
unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin. The light beam is considered (to
be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the light source is less than the HD.
Restriction Zone RZ Based on the HD
The projector is also suitable for rear projection applications; projecting a beam onto a defuse coated projection screen. As displayed
in image 1-3 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

For this type of setup 3 different HD shall be considered:
601–426 F70 SERIES 24/10/2017 9

1. Safety
• HD as discussed in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 6 , relevant for intrabeam exposure.
• HDreflection : the distance that has to be kept restrictive related to the reflected light from the rear projection screen.
• HDdiffuse : the relevant distance to be considered while observing the defuse surface of the rear projection screen.
As described in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 6 , it is mandatory to create a restricted zone within
the beam areas closer than any NOHD. In the enclosed projection area the combination of two restricted zones are relevant: The
restricted zone of the projected beam toward the screen; taking into account 1 meter Separation Width (SW) from the beam onward.
Combined with the restricted zone related to the rear reflection from the screen (HDreflection); also taking into account a 1 meter
lateral separation.
The HDreflection distance equals 25% of the difference between the determined HD distance and the projection distance to the rear
projection screen. To determine the HD distance for the used lens and projector model see graphs in chapter "HD in function of the
lens Throw Ratio (TR)", page 8 .
HDreflection = 25% (HD – PD)
The light emitted from the screen within the observation shall never exceed the RG2 exposure limit, determined at 10 cm. The
HDdiffuse can be neglected if the measured light at the screen surface is below 5000 cd/m² or 15000 LUX.
1.6 HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR)
