1. Safety Instructions
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Warnings
To prevent personnel injury
The customer should never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing or to dispose of the lamp casing other than by returning it to
BARCO.
To prevent injuries and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before connecting to the wall outlet,
or adjusting the projector.
To prevent injuries, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to carry the projector.
NEVER look into the lens ! Due to the high luminance damage to the eye can happen.
Before attempting to remove the projector’s cover, you must turn off the projector and disconnect from the wall outlet.
When performing set up work at a ceiling mounted projector, to prevent injury caused by falling objects or the system, set out a keep
out area.
Consult a professional structural engineer prior to suspending the ceiling mount from a structure not intended for that use. Always
ensure the working load limit of the structure supporting the projector.
The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When mentioned to switch of the projector, to access
some parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side.
To prevent projector damage
If the Air Filters are not regularly replaced, the air flow inside the projector could be disrupted, causing overheating. Overheating
may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
In order to ensure thatcorrect airflow is maintained, and that the projectorcomplies with Electromagnetic Compatibility requirements,
it should always be operated with all of it’s covers in place.
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 qualified service personnel.
The projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation of the
hot air exhausted from its cooling system. Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air.
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as performant laser equipment. Direct or indirect
hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices (TM) in which case there is a loss of warranty
To prevent battery explosion
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Re-adjusting the lamp position in the lamp casing
• Lenses
• Battery Installation in the RCU
Never use the projector when turned with the inputs downwards.
The engines are non sealed versions.
3.1 General
Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions.
Ambient Temperature Conditions.
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.
Max. ambient temperature : 35 C or 104 F
Min. ambient temperature : 10 Cor50 F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (10 C- 35 Cor50F-10 F-95 F).
Storage temperature: -35 Cto+65C (-25.6 F to 149 F)
Humidity Conditions
Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing
Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing
Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
Environment
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
Environment condition check
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contami-
nants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be
R5976445 BARCO GALAXY 15042003 9

3. Installation Guidelines
non-effective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures warranty and
may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacture reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
Special Care for Laser Beams
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as performant laser equipment. Direct or indirect
hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices (TM) in which case there is a loss of warranty
Which screen type ?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount
of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain.
The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminizedscreenwithagainof10(x10)
or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration
called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the
highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information
about screens, contact your local screen supplier.
What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max (15 m 49.2ft) (depending on the ambient light
conditions), with a aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
3.2 Configuration
Which configuration can be used?
The projector can be installed to project images in four different configurations.
• Front Table
• Front Ceiling
• Rear Table
• Rear Ceiling
Positioning the projector
The Projector should be installed perpendicular with the screen on a distance PD and water leveled in both directions. The mounting
positions in following images are shown for a nominal lens position.

Image 3-3
3.4 Re-adjusting the lamp position in the lamp casing
As the projector has to be opened, this procedure has to be performed by qualified service technician.
Why
With higher run times, the light output of the lamp will decrease, which results in a lower light output on the screen. This light output
decrease can be compensated by readjusting the position of the lamp.
How to readjust.
1. On the side of the inputs, turn the retaining bolt a quarter counter clockwise.
2. Flip the cover to the left side and take off. (image 3-4)
3. Start up the adjustment mode and select Service. (menu 3-1)
4. Select Lamp. The Z-axis indication (lamp menu in service mode) will be helpful while turning screw B . (menu 3-2)
5. Loosen the nut A (image 3-5)on the back of the lamp casing (nutdriver 10).
6. Adjust the screw B (image 3-5)with an Allen key by turning a little clockwise until the maximum light output is reached (the maxi-
mum value of the Z-AXIS indication on the lamp menu).
7. Fasten the nut on the back of the lamp casing to secure this position (nutdriver 10).

3.5.5 Cleaning the lens
To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have de-
veloped recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from
the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.
Necessary tools
TorayseeTM cloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.
Howtocleanthelens?
Proceed as follow :
1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN TorayseeTM cloth.
2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.
Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.
4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.
Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.
Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this TorayseeTM cloth.
3.6 Battery Installation in the RCU
How are the batteries delivered ?
The batteries (not yet installed to save the battery life time) are delivered inside the plastic bag with the power cord.
