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: Mind your fingers 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.
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 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”.
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.

Users definition
Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL 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 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 UDX 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.
1.2 Important safety instructions
To prevent the 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 (120-160V / 200-240V (+/- 10%), 20A, 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 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 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.
•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.
•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

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.
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 (HD)”, page 15.
•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 “High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)”, page 15.
•Don’t put your hand in front of the beam.
•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.
•Never stack more than 2 UDX projectors in a hanging configuration (truss) and never stack more than 3
UDX projectors in a base stand configuration (table mount).
•When using the projector in a hanging configuration, always mount 2 safety cables. See installation
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.
•It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. 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). When the cooling circuit leaks, 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
Safety

R5906112-06 UDX series 13
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 UDX. Using other lenses will

1.4 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 19.
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 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
Safety

R5906112-06 UDX series16
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.

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 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.
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

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).

SWSeparation 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 15, 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 (HD)”, page 15, 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 19.
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.
