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 docu men t to conﬁrm

that the instructions have been received and understood.

Users deﬁnition

The Athena 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 mus t instruct the user about:

• High intensity light bea m. 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 ev ent of lamp explosion. Keep 1 m (40 in.) distance from the air outlet side of the projector during operation.

• The installation, m aintenance 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 s ecurity, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Exclusion zone

The projector radiates hea t 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 m aterial, resulting in a

ﬁre. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an exc lusion 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.

• 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 9.

• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all cover plates 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. If the pr ojection distance is less than 6 meter, any person needs to be at least 4 meters away from the projected image. Avoid close range reﬂection of the projected image on a ny reﬂecting surface (such as glass, metal, …) . When operating the projector, we strongly recommend wearing suitable safety g lasses.

• 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 im paired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.

• Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation: Do not look directly in the light beam. T he lamp contained in this p roduct 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 ma king them aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin c an be accomplished by wearing tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV c an 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.

• Mercury Vapor Warnings: Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp use d in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize t he potential risk of inhaling mercury vapors:

- Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilate

- Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.

- Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a preg-

nant woman).

- Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, short-

ness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.

• Exposure to UV radiation: Some medications are known t 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.

2. Safety

To prevent ﬁre hazard

• Do not place ﬂamma ble or combustible materials near the projector!

• Projection rooms m ust 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.

• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhaust a ir or on the lamp house.

To prevent projector damage

•Theairﬁlters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth would be m onthly-minimum). Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air ﬂow inside the projec tor, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.

• The projector must always b e installed in a manner which ensures free ﬂow of air into its air inlets.

• 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 r eliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings mus t not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the p roduct 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 plac ed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless pro per ventilation is provided.

• Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does ha ppen, 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 movem ent around the projector. Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on an y side.

• 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. A ceiling mount will be supported in the future.

• Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as h igh power laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices 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 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.

• To ensure the highest optical performance and reso lution, 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 c loth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.

CAUTION: Xeno n compact arc lamps are highly pressu rized. W hen ignited, the normal operating temperature

of the bulb increases the pressu re 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!

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.

Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Chemicals

For safe handling information on c hemical products, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SD S). SDSs are available upon request via safetydatasheets@barco.com.

2.4 Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)

Light beam Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the intensity or the energy per sur face 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.

2. Safety

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. T he 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 separati image 2-1.

3.2 Lens shift, zoom & focus

Motorized lens adjustment

The Athena is equipped with a m otorized lens shift and zoom & focus functionality.

Maximum shift range

The lens can be shifted with respect to the internal optics of the projector (DMD) which results in a shifted image on the screen (Off-Axis). A 100% shift means that the centre point of the projected image is shifted by half the screen size. In other words, the centre point of the projected image falls together with the outline of the image in an On-Axis projection. Due to mechanical and optical limitations the shift range is limited as well.

All lenses have a shift range of 50% up, 50% down, 30% left, and 30% right. This range is valid for all throw ratios. Within these shift ranges the projector and lens perform excellently. Conﬁguring the projector outside these shift ranges will result in a slight decline of image quality.

hnical intervention will be necessary in

Standby mode

In Standby mode the lamp of the projector is switched OFF but all the electronics of the projector remain fully operational. The projector is ready to ignite the lamp and project the image. The status light is not different between Standby mode and Lamp ON mode (fully operational).

Sleep mode

If the projector is in Sleep mode then the status light ﬂashes every ten seconds. The color of the ﬂash depends on the state of the projector. In other words, the color of the ﬂash will be green in normal state (no warnings, no errors, no notiﬁcations).

In Sleep mode the total power consumption of the projector is less than 15W. No fans are turning and the Lamp Power Supply (LPS) is switched OFF completely. Only the following functionalities of the projector remains active:

• Cinema Controller

• Local Keypad

• Router and external sw itch fully functional

• USB IN port type “ B” (Virtual comport RS232)

• USB OUT port type “A” (To power handheld d evices [500mA MAX]. No other functionality supported)

• GPIO port on the Cinema Controller

Pressing the Sleep button in Standby mode for 3 seconds puts the projector in Sleep mode. In ca se the projector is processing the after cooling cycle then the projector goes in Sleep mode after ﬁnishing the after cooling cycle.

Pressing the Sleep button in Sleep m ode for 3 seconds will awake the projector. The status light will blink for a few seconds (booting up all inactive boards) and then

Functionality

Diagnostic LEDs

The front plate of the Cinema Controller contains 4 diagnostic LEDs to display the status o image 4-4):

• +VTEC supply (not used on Athena).

• +24V supply.

• +12V supply.

• general power supply (ERROR).

4. Input & Communication

f the power supply (reference 6

USB IN port

The Cinema Controller is equipped with a USB port, type “B” connector, (reference 5 image 4-4) to connect upstream devices (E.g. PC). This USB port is used to communicate with the projector via RS232 commands (Virtual comport). The USB IN port remains operational in Sleep mode.

USB OUT port

The Cinem a Controller is equipped with a USB port, type “A” connector, (reference 4 image 4-4) which can be used to power handheld devices within USB spec (MAX 500mA/5V]. No other functionality supported (Future ex pansion). The USB OUT port remains operational in Sleep mode.

3D INTERFACE

3D interface port (reference 3 image 4-4). Can be used to connect ex ternal 3D devices to the projector. All signals necessary for 3D projection can be provided via this connector. The 3D interface port is disabled if the projector is in Sleep mode.

GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT (GPIO)

This 37 pin connector (reference 2 image 4-4) can be used to send or receive trigger signals from other dev ices. These input/output pins can be programme d by macros created with the Communicator software. See user’s guide of the Communicator, section Macro editor, for more information about this functionality. Note that the General Purpose Inputs accept 24 volt maximum. The GPIO remains operational when the projector is in Sleep mode. So, if the factory predeﬁned macro to wake up the projector is assigned to one of the free GPI input pins the projector can be awakened via G P IO.

Enter or leave Sleep mode can also be done with GPIO via two predeﬁned Macros (not editable).

Wide Area Netw ork (WAN)

Wide Area Network (WAN: 10/100/1000 base-T). Use this Ethernet port (reference 6 image 4-4) to connect the network which contains the DHCP server.

Once connected to the WAN, users can access the projector from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their company network using the Communicator software. This software locates the projector on the network if there is a DHCP server or the user can insert the correct IP-address to access the projector. Once accessed, it is possible to check and manipulate all the p rojector settings. Remote diagnostics, control and mon itoring of the projector can then become a daily and very simple operation. The network connectivity allows detection of potential errors and consequently improves service time.
