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.

•Airﬂow

3.1 Safety warnings

WARNING:Before installing the projector, ﬁrst read the safety instructions in the safety manual (R5975258)

delivered with the projector.

Insure that the room can be easily evacuated in case of a lamp explosion.

Mercury vapor warnings

Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp

rupture or lamp explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential risk of inhaling mercury vapors:

• Insure the projector is installed in ventilated rooms only.

• Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.

• Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture or lamp explosion has occurred and evacuate the room (particularly in case of

a pregnant woman).

• Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture or lamp explosion, such as headache, fatigue,

shortness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.

3.2 Installation guidelines

Ambient temperature check

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 : 40 °C or 104 °F

Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C or 32 °F

The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F).

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

CAUTION:Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution

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 as

well as free ﬂow at the ventilation outlets. The installation must also allow easy access to the consumable parts (lamps, ...) 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 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 .

Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culmi-

nate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be non-effective

and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures warranty and may deem the

3. Installation guidelines

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 warranty repair if a projector has been subject to wantful

neglect, abandon or improper use.

What about ambient light ?

The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light ﬁxtures in the room. The amount of ambient

light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be

covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and

ﬂoor are of non-reﬂecting material. The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level

is also important. Too much ambient light will ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest

and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to

the point where there is just sufﬁcient light to read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that

interference with the screen is minimal.

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 aluminized screen with a

gain of 10 (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.
