Ensure that the mains voltage and capacity matches the projector electrical ratings (100-160 V (reduced power) / 200-240 V~, 22 A, 50/60 Hz). 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. When no power cord for your region/country is provided, contact your dealer. The power cord must be suited for the electrical ratings indicated on the product ID label. Only power cords according to the local electrical code regulations can be used.
• 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.

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.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 4 persons are needed to carry the projector. The projector weights about 92 kg (202 lbs) without lens and rigging frame.
• 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 projector: This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors 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 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”.

• 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”.
• Warning: Laser radiation. Do not stare into laser ranging beam. Class 2 laser beam could result in damage to the eye.
• 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, CO₂ or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never use water on an electrical fire. Always have service performed on this projector by qualified 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

• This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable.
• 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 Devices^TM 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 Devices^TM in which case there is a loss of warranty.
