Safety 1

R5913593 /01 Njord10
1.1 General Considerations
WARNING: Be aware of suspended loads.
WARNING: Wear a hard hat to reduce the risk of personal injury.
WARNING: Be careful while working with heavy loads.
WARNING: In case of optical radiation emergency, please disconnect the device from the mains
current; this by employing the mains switch. In case the mains switch is not easily accessible, the
projectors shall be disconnected by other means for example the mains junction box.
It is advised to employ the shutter or select a black image on the projector in order to reduce the risk
of the emergency.
WARNING: Mind your fingers while working with heavy loads.
General safety instructions
•This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics
inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous.
•Do not stare into beam when the projector is on. The bright light may result in permanent eye damage.
•Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
•Installation and preliminary adjustments must be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by authorized
Barco service dealers.
•All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals must be adhered to.
•All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.
•All local installation codes should be adhered to.
Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the applicable international safety
standards. These safety standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components,
materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy
hazard and having access to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external
temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection
against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the user
even when the equipment's normal operation fails.
Notice on optical radiation
This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the
projector's optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting
the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance
value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye
and skin when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specifically related to the characteristics of
laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent with lamp
based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is defined from
the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the
maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “Hazard Distance”.
When installing an interchangeable lens with a throw ratio that make the projector become an RG3
unit, (See the chapter “Approved Lenses”in the installation manual), refer to chapter “HD in function
of modifying optics”, page 209 regarding precautions.
Safety

11R5913593 /01 Njord
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Notice on laser radiation
The laser distance meter that is optional equipment for this projector can emit a class 2 laser ranging beam of
0.95 mW / 638 nm. When installed correctly, this distance meter is located on the front side of the projector
(see ). The laser beam can be enabled by either pressing the button on the equipment, via the projector menu,
or via the projector software. Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when staring into the laser ranging beam.
Image 1–1
WARNING: Laser Radiation —Do not stare into laser ranging beam, Class 2 IEC EN 60825-1:2014
See the product safety manual for details.
Users definition
Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL refers to Barco authorized persons having
appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be knowledgeable of potential hazards to which
they are exposed (including, but not limited to HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC and ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY
and HIGH BRIGHTNESS PROJECTORS) in performing a task, and of measures to minimize the potential risk
to themselves or other persons. The term USER and OPERATOR refers to any person other than SERVICE
PERSONNEL, AUTHORIZED to operate professional projection systems.
The NJORD projector is intended "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL
familiar with potential hazards associated with high voltage, high intensity light beams and high temperatures
generated by the light source and associated circuits. Only qualified SERVICE PERSONNEL, knowledgeable
of such risks, are allowed to perform service functions inside the product enclosure.
Safety

R5913593 /01 Njord12
1.2 Important safety instructions
To prevent risk of electrical shock
•This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source. Ensure that the mains voltage and
capacity matches the projector electrical ratings: 120-180V/200-240V (+/-10%), 16A-12A, 50-60Hz. If you
are unable to install the AC requirements, contact your electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding.
•This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable.
•If none of the supplied power cables are the correct one, consult your dealer.
•If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
•Never use 2- wire power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock. Always use a
power connector with a ground terminal.
•Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the
cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
•Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have
not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the device. For a replacement power
cord, contact your dealer.
•If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
•Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord. Replace the cord.
•Do not operate the projector if the projector has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined
and approved for operation by qualified service personnel.
•Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
•If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should
be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
•Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
•Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set.
•Do not expose this projector to rain or moisture.
•The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.

•Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the device
due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
To prevent personal injury
•To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before
powering the projector or adjusting the projector.
•To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. The weight of a basic projector is about ±48 kg
(±105 lb) without lens.
•To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
•Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to
the eye.
•Warning: extremely high brightness projector: This projector embeds extremely high brightness
(radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not
accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within
the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light.
Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly
within the beam. This risk is not specific related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high
thermal induced energy of the light source; which is comparable with lamp based systems.
Safety

13R5913593 /01 Njord
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance. The Hazard Distance
(HD) is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the
irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “HD in function of
modifying optics”, page 209.
•High Brightness Warning: The projector light source may not be switched on or the shutter must be closed
when no projection lens is installed.
•Based on international 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 optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator
training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in “HD in function of
modifying optics”, page 209.
•Warning: Laser radiation when optional laser distance meter is installed. Do not stare into laser ranging
beam. Class 2 laser beam could result in damage to the eye.
•Don’t put your hand in front of the beam.
•This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics
inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous. This kind of
operations shall only be performed by Barco authorized service personnel.
•Before attempting to remove any of the projector's covers, you must turn off the projector and disconnect
from the wall outlet.
•When required to switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord from
the power net.
•The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When required to
switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector
side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the socket
outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be easily accessible, or a
readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
•Do not stack or hang projectors without using the stacking frame.
•Max units in stacked configuration, 3 units.
•Max units in hanging configuration, 2 units.
•When hanging projectors on a truss with the Barco stacking frame, always secure the stack with safety
cables between the projectors and the truss.

manual for the correct use of these cables.
•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.
•Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling mount rig.
•It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Always switch the output light off when replacing a lens.
•Lenses or shields 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.
•Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit filled with Mono-ethylene glycol (1,2-ethane
diol) and inhibitors in aqueous solution (34% active). If the unlikely event that the cooling circuits have a
leak, switch off the device and contact qualified service personnel. The liquid is not for household use.
Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxious fumes.
•Never point or allow light to be directed on people or reflective objects within the HD zone.
•All operators shall have received adequate training and be aware of the potential hazards.
•In case of using an external cooling system position the hoses of the cooling system so that they will not be
tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
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 this projector.
•Do not place any object in the projection light path at close distance to the projection lens output. The
concentrated light at the projection lens output may result in damage, fire or burn injuries.

•Ensure that the projector is solidly mounted so that the projection light path cannot be changed by
accident.
•Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. . 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 projector and cooling system to the outside of the building.
•Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
To prevent battery explosion
•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly installed.
•Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
•For disposal of used batteries, always consult federal, state, local and provincial hazardous waste disposal
rules and regulations to ensure proper disposal.
To prevent projector damage
•The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth 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 projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
•If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air flow requirements are
valid for EACH individual projector system. Note that inadequate air extraction or cooling will result in
decreased life expectancy of the projector as a whole as well as causing premature failure of the lasers.
•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.
•Do not use this equipment near water.
•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 sunlight. Sunlight on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror
DevicesTM 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.
•Unplug this product from the wall outlet 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. For lens cleaning follow the instructions precisely as stipulated in the projector manual.
•Only use zoom lenses of the Barco TLD+ series on the 4K models of the projector. Using other lenses will
damage the internal optics. For suitable fixed TLD+ lenses contact Barco or see Barco website.
