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 complaint, 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.

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Warnings

To prevent personnel injury

Insure that the projector is installed in an easy to evacuate room in case of a lamp explosion.

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.

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

CAUTION:Never operate the projector when only one lamp is mounted. Always insure both lamps are in-

stalled.

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 Note

Deﬁnitions

Deﬁnition Qualiﬁed service technicians or Qualiﬁed technicians : Persons having appropriate technical training and experience nec-

essary to be aware of hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves

or other persons.
