2.1 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 deal-
ers.
• 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 international safety standards IEC60950-1, EN60950-1,
UL60950-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, which are the safety standards of information technology equipment including
electrical business equipment. 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”.
R5906787 THOR 26/01/2018 5

2. Safety Information
WARNING:No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3 (Risk Group
3) IEC 62471-5:2015
CAUTION:Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

2.2 Safety training to be provided by the installer
WARNING:The installer is responsible that the user is instructed. The user will sign a document to confirm
that the instructions have been received and understood.
Users definition
The Thor is intended for persons who have been instructed and trained by a skilled person (installer or service personnel) to iden-
tify energy sources that may cause injury and to take precautions to avoid unintentional contact with or exposure to those energy
sources.
The skilled person must instruct the user about:
• High intensity light beam. The user must respect the exclusion zone, based on the light beam Hazard Distance (HD).
• Dangerous energy sources inside the projector. The user is not allowed to remove any cover from the projector.
• The installation, maintenance or service is for skilled persons only.
• The requirements for a restricted access location,anexclusion zone and a restriction zone.
Restricted access location
To protect untrained persons and children, the projector must be installed in a restricted access location. The definition of a
restricted access location is a location for equipment where both of the following paragraphs apply:
• Access can only be gained by skilled persons (installer or service personnel) or persons who have been instructed and trained
by a skilled person. The persons must have been instructed about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and
about the precautions that shall be taken.
• Access is only possible 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 in 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 (HD)", page 11.
Exclusion zone
The projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation. 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:
6R5906787 THOR 26/01/2018

2. Safety Information
• The exclusion zone must not be less than 40 cm (16 in).
Restriction zone
To protect untrained users and children against high intensity light beams, the light beam Hazard Distance (HD) shall be taken into
account.
2.3 Important safety instructions
To prevent the risk of electrical shock
• Installation according to the local electrical code and regulations by qualified technical personnel only. Do not defeat the purpose
of the grounding.
• A readily accessible disconnect device must be incorporated externally to the equipment for removal of the power to the pro-
jector mains terminals.
• Warning: High leakage current. Earth connection essential before connecting supply.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this projector where persons will walk on the cord.
• Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord or if the projector has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined
and approved for operation by a qualified service technician.
• 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 projector through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
circuit parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not expose this projector to rain or moisture.
• Do not immerse or expose this projector in water or other liquids.
• Do not spill liquid of any kind on this projector.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before
resuming operations.
• Do not disassemble this projector, always take it to an trained service person when service or repair work is required.
• Do not use an accessory attachment which is not recommended by the manufacturer.
• 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, remove all power from the projector. This will prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and AC
power-line surges.
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 all DLP Cinema projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. Do not cover the
projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. Keep flammable and combustible materials away from
the projector at all times. 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 (chiller units) to the outside of the building.
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.

2. Safety Information
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.
• Do not underestimate the weight of the projector. The projector weights ±240 kg (±529 lbs). To prevent personal injury a hoisting
tool should be used to lift the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens, cooling system and all cover plates 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.
• 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.
• Lenses, shields or screens 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.
• When the projected light causes a dangerous situation the operator must hit the beam stop button which is located close to the
control panel. The beam stop removes all power from the laser power supplies.
• Don’t put your hand in front of the beam.
• Do not clean the port window when the projector is switched on.
On servicing
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials
and risk of electric shock.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Attempts to alter the factory-set internal controls or to change other control settings not specially discussed in this manual can
lead to permanent damage to the projector and cancellation of the warranty.
• Remove all power from the projector and refer servicing to qualified service technicians under the following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
- If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of the other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
- If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• Replacement parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original Barco replacement
parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the Barco original part. Unauthorized substitu-
tions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may
void warranty.
• Safety check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
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. Loose papers or other objects may not be
nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.
• Proper operation of the projector can only be guaranteed in table mounting. It is not permitted to use the projector in another
position. See installation procedure for correct installation.
•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.

2. Safety Information
2.5 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)
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 next chapter"HD in function
of modifying optics", page 14.
To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors, spectators) the installation shall comply with the following installation require-
ments: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at the 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.

SH Separation Height.
SW Separation Width.
Based on national 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 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 2-2 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 2-2.
The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol.

USA market
For LIPs (Laser Illuminated Projectors) installed in the USA market other restriction zone conditions apply.
Lip’s for installation in restrained environment (cinema theaters) 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.
Lip’s for installations in unrestrained environment (large venues,..) 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.
In addition for temporary installations (e.g.: rental and staging, lease, events …) the following requirements apply:
• This product can only be installed by Barco or sold or leased only to valid laser light show variance holders. In other words
our installers are required to have an approved laser light show variance. Such installers may currently hold a valid variance
for production of Class IIIb and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporation of the RG3 LIPs into their shows. Dealers and
distributors are also required to obtain a valid laser light show variance.
• This product shall be located in such a way that all propagating beam paths within the Restriction Zone, and the audience can
be directly observed at all times.
• Effects other than front or rear screen projections shall not be performed.
• Communication shall be maintained with other personnel assisting in surveillance of the LIP projection.
• In the event of any unsafe condition, immediately terminates (or designate the termination) of LIP projection light.
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.
Laser light shows can be requested via the FDA online eSubmitter portal or via FDA Form FDA Form 3147 referencing to Barco’s
variance approval 2016-V-0144.
2.6 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.

2. Safety Information
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 2-3 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 (HD)", page 11, relevant for intrabeam exposure.
•HD
reflection : the distance that has to be kept restrictive related to the reflected light from the rear projection screen.
•HD
diffuse : the relevant distance to be considered while observing the diffuse surface of the rear projection screen.
As described in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 11, 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 graphs in chapter "HD in function of
modifying optics", page 14.
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.
