1.4 Safety Information
This section describes safety precautions which must be observed when installing a product from
BARCO.
Safetey
The safety standards of information technology equipment impose important requirements on the
use of safety critical components, materials and isolation, in order to protect the user or operator
against the risk of electric shock and energy hazard, and having access to live parts.
Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels,
mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against risk of fire.
Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the use even when
the equipment’s normal operation fails.

gerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
! Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the
cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.
Warning: Do Not Place Flammable or Combustible Materials Near Projector!
BARCO products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations.
Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this device 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 10 cm (4").
Do not cover the projector with any material while the projector is in operation.
Keep flammable 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. Never expose this product to rain or excessive moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO
, or dry powder
2
fire extinguishers; never use water on an electrical fire.
Always have service performed on this product by authorized BARCO service personnel. Always
insist on genuine BARCO replacement parts. Never use non-BARCO replacement parts as they
may degrade the safety of this device.
Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power
cords have not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the projector. For a
replacement power cord, contact your dealer.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the sides are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the device and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product
should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
R5976255
ATLAS
CS4 (2001-03) 1-6
On Servicing
Do not attempt to service this device yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage potential and risk of electric shock! Refer all projector service to a qualified
BARCO service center.
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 a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
Call for service in the following conditions :
! When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
! If liquid has been spilled into the device.
! If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
! If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.
! 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 technician 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.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
1.4.1 Precautions
For your own protection, observe the following safety precautions when installing your device!
! Observe all warnings and instructions printed on the devices!

! Housing: The Atlas system is a compact mechanical housing especially designed to meet any
given requirements concerning set up, resolution, and operational conditions. Due to its flexible structure different projector types and screens can be mounted. The closed structure prevents incident light or dust from entering the unit.
! Projection unit: The projection unit consists of three components: the lamp module, the light
path for optimization of the light distribution and the X Cube and dichroic prism system.
! Deflection mirror: a mirror in the top part of the housing deflects the light onto the rear of the
projection screen.
! Screen: patented seamless screen mounting via high precision cuts, supported by very fine steel
pins results in a nearly not perceptible optical seam.
! Fan: a fan in the housing ensures that the unit is sufficiently cooled.

3.1.1 Lamp Module
r
The lamp module generates the light for the subsequent projection. The lamp (100 Watt UHP (Ultra High Performance) lamp) has an operation time of 8000 hours.
3.1.2 Illumination Unit
The illumination unit consists of the lens system for uniform illumination of the LCDs and the
electronics for lamp power supply and monitoring.
!
Optical Integrator
An optical integrator consisting out of two multi-segment lenses guarantees a uniform illumination of the LCDs and thus of the screen.
3.1.3 Projection Unit
The light from the lamp is split with dichroic mirrors into red, green and blue light to illuminate
three LCD panels, each of which contains the respective color-information for the red, green and
blue parts of the projected image. The LCD panels are attached to a cubical prism called X Cube
which recombines the three light paths, so the image is projected using a single lens.

Poly-Silicon TFT-LCD
The LCD panels are based on Poly-Silicon technology. Poly-Silicon material consists of numerous small crystals leading to small circuitry. The results are a big aperture (ratio of a pixel’s
shutter area to it’s total area), high speed and reliability. The panels have 1,310,720 (SXGA
1280×1024) pixels.
!
Lens System
The projection lens system is positioned behind the X Cube. It projects the image resulting on
the LCD’s via the deflection mirror onto the rear of the screen module.

3.1.4 Screen Module
The image is generated in the screen . It consists of the optical screen and a frame with which the
screen is exactly mounted onto the Atlas Structure.
!
Fresnel Lens
The screen consists of a Fresnel lens and a Front Element Screen. The Fresnel lens deflects the
light coming from the projection lens system such that it falls perpendicularly onto the front
element screen.
!
Front Element
The front element screen guarantuees that the light is distributed horizontally and vertically,
while maintaining a high contrast.
!
Texture of Surface
The surface of the screen has a special non-glare texture. This texture minimizes the direct reflection of the light of the surrounding and contributes also to the high contrast of the screen.
