1.1 General considerations
General safety instructions
• Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
• Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by
authorized Barco service dealers.
• All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals should 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”.
WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3
(Risk Group 3) IEC EN 62471-5:2015
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Restricted access location
This product may only be installed in a restricted access location. The definition of a “restricted access
location" is a location for equipment where both of following applies:
• Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONNEL or by OPERATORS 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.
Why a restricted access location: This is a RG3 product. 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 “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 18.
Users definition
Throughout this manual, the terms SERVICE PERSONNEL and TRAINED PROJECTIONIST refers to
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
Safety

11R5914712 /00 SP2K-C
to minimize the potential risk to themselves or other persons. The term USER and OPERATOR refers to any
person other than SERVICE PERSONNEL or TRAINED PROJECTIONISTS, AUTHORIZED to operate
professional projection systems.
The TRAINED PROJECTIONISTS may only perform the maintenance task described in the User &
Installation manual. All other maintenance tasks and service tasks must be performed by qualified SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
The DLP Cinema Systems are intended "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL

• 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 defused 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 specifically related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high
thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent to lamp based systems.
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 “High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 18.
• 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 made 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 “High
Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 18.
• The projector shall be installed in a restricted access room equipped with a key or security lock preventing
untrained persons entering the Risk Group 3 use zone.

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

1.4 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance
HD
Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the
energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the
skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the
light source is less than the HD.
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed. See
chapter “HD in function of modifying optics”, page 21.
To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors, spectators) the installation shall comply with the following
installation requirements: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the
product at a height that will prevent spectators' eyes from being in the hazard distance. Radiation levels in
excess of the limits will not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meter (SH) above any surface upon which
persons other than operators, performers, or employees are permitted to stand or less than 1.0 meter (SW)
lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In environments where
unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or
equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's
shoulders, within the HD.
These values are minimum values and are based on the guidance provided in IEC 62471-5:2015 section
6.6.3.5.
The installer and user must understand the risk and apply protective measures based upon the hazard
distance as indicated on the label and in the user information. Installation method, separation height, barriers,
detection system or other applicable control measure shall prevent hazardous eye access to the radiation
within the hazard distance.
For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where
persons may be present should be positioned in accordance with “the fixed projector installation” parameters,
resulting in a HD that does not extend into the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the
floor level. In environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation
height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual
sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD. Sufficiently large separation height may be achieved
by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

sufficient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the
surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand.
On Image 1– 2 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If
required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier,
like a red rope as illustrated in Image 1–2.

USA market
For LIPs (Laser Illuminated Projectors) installed in the USA market other restriction zone conditions apply.
LIPs for installation in restrained environment (cinema theaters, business rooms, class rooms, museums ...)
shall be installed at height vertically above the floor such that the bottom plane of the hazard distance zone
shall be no lower than 2.5 meters above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be
not less than 1 meter. Alternatively, in case the height of the separation barrier for the horizontal clearance is
at least 1 meter high then the horizontal clearance (SW) can be reduced to:
• 0 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.5 meter.
• 0.1 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.4 meter.
• 0.6 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.2 meter.
LIPs for installations in unrestrained environment (concerts, ...) shall be installed at a height vertically above
the floor such that the bottom plane of the Hazard distance Zone shall be no lower than 3 meters above the
floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 2.5 meters. Any human access
horizontally to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, shall be restricted by barriers. If human access is possible in an
unsupervised environment, the horizontal or vertical clearances shall be increased to prevent exposure to the
hazard distance zone.
The LIP shall be installed by Barco or by a trained and Barco-authorized installer or shall only be transferred to
laser light show variance holders. This is applicable for dealers and distributors since they may need to install
the LIP (demo install) and/or they transfer (sell, rent, lease) the LIP. Dealers and distributors shall preserve
sales and installation records for a period of 5 years. Variance holders may currently hold a variance for
production of Class IIIB and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporating RG3 LIPs. Laser light show variance
for RG3 LIPs can be requested by mailing the application to [email protected].
The installation checklist for laser illuminated RG3 projectors must be fully completed after the installation.
The installation checklist can be downloaded from the Barco website. The installer shall preserve the checklist
for a period of 5 years.
Install one or more readily accessible controls to immediately terminate LIP projection light. The power input at
the projector side is considered as a reliable disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector,
disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible
(e. g. truss 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.

1.5 HD for fully enclosed projection systems
HD
Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the
energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the
skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the
light source is less than the HD.
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The projector is also suitable for rear projection applications; projecting a beam onto a defuse coated
projection screen. As displayed in Image 1– 3 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed
projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

SW Separation Width. Must be minimum 1 meter.
For this type of setup 3 different HD shall be considered:
• HD as discussed in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 18, relevant for intrabeam
exposure.
• HDreflection : the distance that has to be kept restrictive related to the reflected light from the rear projection
screen.
• HDdiffuse : the relevant distance to be considered while observing the diffuse surface of the rear projection
screen.
As described in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 18, it is mandatory to create a
restricted zone within the beam areas closer than any HD. In the enclosed projection area the combination of
two restricted zones are relevant: The restricted zone of the projected beam toward the screen; taking into
account 1 meter Separation Width (SW) from the beam onward. Combined with the restricted zone related to
the rear reflection from the screen (HDreflection); also taking into account a 1 meter lateral separation.
The HDreflection distance equals 25% of the difference between the determined HD distance and the projection
distance to the rear projection screen. To determine the HD distance for the used lens and projector model see
chapter “HD in function of modifying optics”, page 21.
HDreflection = 25% (HD – PD)
The light emitted from the screen within the observation shall never exceed the RG2 exposure limit,
determined at 10 cm. The HDdiffuse can be neglected if the measured light at the screen surface is below 5000
cd/m² or 15000 LUX.
