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 compliant, 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

2.1 General guidelines
WARNING:Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions.
Ambient Temperature Conditions.
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 : 35°C or 95 °F
Min. ambient temperature : 10 °C or 50 °F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (10°C- 35°C or 50°F-95°F).
Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-31°F to 149°F)
Humidity Conditions
Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing
Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing
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.
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. 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 ever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contam-
inants will culminate 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 manufacturer’s warranty
and may deem the 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 manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
R5976690 XLM H25 03/09/2004 9

2. Installation Guidelines
Special Care for Laser Beams
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 MicroMirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty
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.
What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max 15 m (49.2ft) (depending on the ambient light
conditions), with an aspect ratio of 1.9:1.
2.2 Restricted Access Location
Installation in a Restricted Access Location
The XLM H25 can only be installed in a Restricted Access Location.
What is a Restricted Access Location (Definition) ?
Definition of a Restricted Access Location:
A location for equipment where both of the following paragraphs apply:
• Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS 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.
What is the Reason for the Applied Restriction?
The Air exhaust on the rear of the Projector can reach high temperatures due to the High Light Output Range of the installed lamp.
Image 2-1
The air exhaust on the rear side of the projector.
WARNING:Do not touch this Air Outlet Grill when the projector is running. Respect a cool down period for
at least 10 minutes after the projector has been switched off before touching this Grill .

2.3 Projector configuration
Which configuration can be used ?
The projector can be installed to project images in four different configurations:
• Front/table
• Rear/table
• Front/ceiling
• Rear/ceiling
Positioning the projector
The projector should be installed perpendicular with the screen on a distance PD and water leveled in both directions. The mounting
positions in the following images are shown for a nominal lens position.
