Changes
Barco provides this manual ’as is’ without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied war-
ranties or merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Barco may make improvements and/or changes to the product(s) and/or the
program(s) described in this publication at any time without notice.
This publication could contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. Changes are periodically made to the information in this

Guarantee and Compensation
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser
must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults Barco
must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning,
at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of compliant, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement
at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a
reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or
indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided by Barco, being a component
of the system or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties
guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part of Barco.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the goods are handled incorrectly,
in particular if the systems are commissioned operated incorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not
agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are
system failures which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as
well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in the this manual must be complied with by
the customer.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC Statement)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may
cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be responsible for correcting any interference.

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 4 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 that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies 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.
1.2 Restricted Access Location
Installation in a Restricted Access Location
The Barco Galaxy WARP™ 7 HC can only be installed in a Restricted Access Location.
What is a Restricted Access Location (Definition)?
Definition of a Restricted Access Location:
A location for equipment where both of the following paragraphs apply:
• Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS who have been instructed about the reasons for the restriction
applied to the location and about the precautions that shall be taken.
• Access is through the use of the TOOL or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible
for the location.
What are the Reasons for the Applied Restriction?
The Air Outlet Grill on the side of the Projector can reach high temperatures due to the High Light Output Range of the lamp.
