2. Safety
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 ZEUS projector is intended for persons who have been instructed and trained by a skilled person (installer or service personnel)
to identify 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.
• Small glass parts can leave the projector in the event of lamp explosion. Keep 1 m (40 in.) distance from the air outlet side of
the projector during operation.
• The installation, maintenance or service is for skilled persons only.
• The requirements for a restricted access location and an exclusion 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.
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:
• The exclusion zone must not be less than 40 cm (16 in.).
• Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4 in.) on any side.
• Two types of air outlet exist:
-Exhaust on top of the projector: never look into the exhaust output on top of the projector. High luminance, UV radiation
and glass particles in the event of a lamp explosion could result in damage to the eye. The installation of an exhaust system
on top of the projector is mandatory before operating the projector.
-Rear exhaust: the exclusion zone on the rear side must not be less than 1 m (40 in.).
To protect untrained users and children against high intensity light beams, the light beam Hazard Distance (HD) shall be taken into
account. See "Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)", page 12.

2. Safety
To prevent personal injury
• Leave an exclusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector. See "Safety training to be provided by the installer", page
7.
• Isolate electrically before replacing the lamp or lamp house. Caution: hot lamp (house).
• Caution: high pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before inserting the lamp casing,
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 4 adult persons are needed to carry the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers 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.
•Warning: extremely high brightness lamps: this projector uses extremely high brightness lamps. Never attempt to look
directly into the lens or at the lamp. Avoid close range reflection of the projected image on any reflecting surface (such as glass,
metal, …). Take into account the light beam Hazard Distance (HD) and never enter the Restriction Zone (RZ), as defined in
chapter "Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)", page 12).
• Before attempting to remove any of the projector’s covers, disconnect the projector mains terminals for removal of all power
from the projector.
• When required to remove all power from the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the projector mains terminals.
• 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, shields or ultra violet 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.
•Warning: protection from ultraviolet radiation: do not look directly in the light beam. The lamp contained in this product is
an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin
hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and
your employees by making them aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin can be accomplished
by wearing tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV can be accomplished by wearing safety glasses
that are designed to provide UV protection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be
considered when choosing protective eye wear.
•Exposure to UV radiation: some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an-8 hour day to be
less than 0,1 micro-watts per square centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure
employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines. The exposer of this UV
radiation is allowed for only 1 hour per day for maintenance and service personnel.
• When the projector is mounted above persons, a lens safety cable should always be mounted.
• The exhaust output on top of the projector must be coupled to an external exhaust system. In case the projector is equipped
with an exhaust output at the rear then there is no need for an external exhaust system.
WARNING:Never look into the exhaust output on the top of the projector. High luminance and UV radiation
could result in damage to the eye. The installation of an exhaust system on top of the projector is mandatory
before operating the projector.
WARNING:The exhaust output of the projector is very hot when the projector is on. To avoid burns, let the
projector cool down for at least 15 minutes before touching the exhaust output.
To prevent fire hazard
• Leave an exclusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector. See "Safety training to be provided by the installer", page
7.
• Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation.
•Keepflammable 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.
• In the event of fire use sand, CO2or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never use water on an electrical fire.
• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air or on the lamp house.
• 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
console to the outside of the building. The mandatory exhaust system must include a blower that maintain at least 4m3/min
(140 CFM) when measured at the projector exhaust opening.
• Let the projector cool down completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air or on the lamp house.

2. Safety
To prevent projector damage
• Leave an exclusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector. See "Safety training to be provided by the installer", page
7.
• This projector has been designed for use with a specific lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
• The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on regular base. 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 and unimpeded evacuation
of the hot air from its cooling system.
• If an exhaust system is installed onto the top of the projector it must be capable of removing minimum 4m3/min (140 CFM)
measured at the projector’s exhaust opening.
• If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air flow requirements are valid for EACH indi-
vidual projector head exhaust stack. Note that inadequate air extraction will result in decreased life expectancy of the projector
as a whole as well as causing premature xenon lamp failure.
• In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
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 unplug the mains
supply immediately. 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.
• 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 sun light. Sun light 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.
• Disconnect the power to the projectors mains terminals 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, patrol, 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. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent
solution, or thinner.
• Rated maximum ambient temperature, ta= 35°C (95°F).
• The lamp house shall be replaced if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.
• An external frame must be used to stack projectors.
On servicing
• 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 personnel 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 qualified service personnel 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.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service personnel has used original Barco replacement parts or authorized
replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the Barco original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may void warranty.

2. Safety
WARNING:The user is not permitted to perform or attempt any phase of xenon lamp handling or service.
Only trained and qualified technical service personnel are allowed to handle the xenon lamp.
CAUTION:Xenon compact arc lamps are highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature
of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance
to the manufacturer’s instructions. The bulb is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or
otherwise mishandled. Whenever the lamp house, containing a xenon lamp, has to be dismantled or whenever
the protective container or cloth has to be removed from the xenon lamp, authorized protective clothing MUST
be worn!
Authorized protective clothing for xenon lamp handling
WARNING:Always wear face protection (full face shield) when handling xenon lamps.
WARNING:Always wear protective clothing (welder’s jacket) when handling xenon lamps.
WARNING:Always wear clean leather gloves with wrist protectors when handling xenon lamps.
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.

2.4 Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)
HD
Light beam Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit
becomes lower than the applicable safety limit. The light beam can thus be considered as dangerous if the operator
is closer from the source than the HD.
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The HD is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the lowest projected beam where the irradiance equals
the applicable safety limit. 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 the lens Throw Ratio (TR).
To protect untrained users the installation shall comply with the following installation requirements: light output levels in excess of the
limits shall not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meters (SH image 2-1) above any surface upon which persons are assumed
to stand or 1 meter (SW image 2-1) below or in lateral separation from any place where such persons are assumed to be. See
image 2-1.

SH Separation Height. Must be minimum 2 meter.
SW Separation Width. Must be minimum 1 meter.
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 are assumed to stand.
On image 2-1 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified by the installer 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.

3. Getting started
3.1 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 ZEUS projector is intended for persons who have been instructed and trained by a skilled person (installer or service personnel)
to identify 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.
• Small glass parts can leave the projector in the event of lamp explosion. Keep 1 m (40 in.) distance from the air outlet side of
the projector during operation.
• The installation, maintenance or service is for skilled persons only.
• The requirements for a restricted access location and an exclusion 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.
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:
• The exclusion zone must not be less than 40 cm (16 in.).
• Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4 in.) on any side.
• Two types of air outlet exist:
-Exhaust on top of the projector: never look into the exhaust output on top of the projector. High luminance, UV radiation
and glass particles in the event of a lamp explosion could result in damage to the eye. The installation of an exhaust system
on top of the projector is mandatory before operating the projector.
-Rear exhaust: the exclusion zone on the rear side must not be less than 1 m (40 in.).
To protect untrained users and children against high intensity light beams, the light beam Hazard Distance (HD) shall be taken into
account. See "Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)", page 12.
