To prevent projector damage
• The air filters, if mounted, 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.
The exception from this is the front cover, that can be removed to give access to multiple anchor points.
See User Guide for more detailed info regarding this issue.
• Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due
to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the
surface of the projection lens
• Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical specification.
Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of
the unit.
• 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.
• 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 Barco authorized service personnel.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector. Minimum safety distance
to the exhaust area of the unit must not be less than 25 cm (10") and to the intake area, not less than 25
cm (10").
• 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 Devices
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications as this may result in
overheating and malfunction.
• Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror
Devices™ 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. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner. For lens cleaning, follow the instructions
given in the user manual.
• Only use FLC series lenses in the projector, or FLD lenses w/ adapter. Other lenses may damage the
internal optics. See Barco website for suitable FLC and/or FLD lenses.
• Allowed ambient temperature range depends on altitude:
- between 0 and 1500 meter altitude: ambient temperature range = 10°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F)
- between 1500 and 3000 meter altitude: ambient temperature range = 10°C (32°F) to 35°C (86°F)
• Rated operating humidity = 20% RH to 80% RH Non-condensed.
• Rated storage humidity = 10%RH to 90%RH.
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 Barco authorized repair centers.
