•Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. T
possible injury to the user.
•When mounting the projector to the ceiling or to a rigging system, always mount security chains.
•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-8hour day to be
less than 0.1 microwatts 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.

2.1Installation requirements
Ambient temperature conditions
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for an operating Barco CLM HD8 may not exceed +40 ºC (+104 ºF).
The minimum allowed ambient temperature for an operating Barco CLM HD8 may not drop below +10 ºC (+50 ºF).
The projector will not operate if the ambient air temperature falls outside this range (+10 ºC → +40 ºC or +50 ºF → +104 ºF). Be
aware that room heat rises to the ceiling. Check if the temperature near the installation site is not excessive.
The minimum storage temperature is -35 ºC (-31 ºF) and the maximum storage tem
perature is +65 ºC (+149 ºF).
2. General
Humidity conditions
Storage: 0 to 98% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Operation: 0 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
High Altitude
For an optimal performance of the CLM at high altitude, make sure that sufficient air flow is available (maximum ambient temperature
30°C).
Projector weight
Do not underestimate the weight of one Barco CLM HD8, which is
on which the projector(s) has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the complete system.

One Barco CLM HD8 (order number R9050130 and R90501301) requires 100-120/200-240V 12/8A 50/60Hz.
One Barco CLM HD8 (order number R90501305) requires 100-120/200-240V 16/8A 50/60Hz.
Clean air environment
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on the pro
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will
be noneffective and impracticable. Dam

2. General
Which screen type ?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount
of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain.
The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x 1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x 10)
or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration
called the viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the
highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information
about screens, contact your local screen supplier.
What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size : minimum 2.2 meter (7.2 ft.) to maximum 10 .8 meter (35.4 ft.) (depending
on the ambient light conditions), with an aspect ratio of 16 to 9 .
2.2Unpacking the projector
What has to be done ?
At delivery the projector is packed in a cardboard box upon a wooden pallet and secured with banding and fastening clips. Futhermore, to provide protection during transport, the projector is surrounded with foam. Once the projector has arrived at the installation
site, it has to be removed from the cardboard box and wooden pallet in a safe manner without damaging the projector.
Necessary tools
Side cutter
How to unpack the projector
1. Remove the banding around the carton box, by releasing the fastening clips.
2. Cut open the box but do not insert the cutter too deep, otherwise the projector could be damaged.
Image 2-1
3. Take out the cardboard box with the accessories such as manuals, remote control and power cord.
4. Take the projector out of the cardboard box and place it on a stable table.

5. Remove the foam rubber.
Save the original shipping carton and packing material, they will be necessary if you ever have to ship your
projector. For maximum protection, repack your projector as it was originally packed at the factory.
2. General
A rubber foam inside a plastic bag is placed into the lens opening of the projector. It’s recommended to reuse
this foam and plastic back each time you transport the projector. This to prevent intrusion of dust and foreign
particles.
CAUTION: Always remove the lens before transporting the projector !

On-Axis / Off-Axis projection
The position of the projector with reference to the screen may also be different depending on the installation. Basically the projector
can be positioned in On-Axis or Off-Axis configuration. On-Axis configuration means that the projector is positioned so as to have
the centre of the lens coincidi

Formula to calculate the distance CD for On-Axis projection: CD=SH/2+B-A
ng with the centre of the screen. Off-Axis projection is obtained by shifting the lens up, down, left or
Shift range
The lens can be shifted with respect to the DMD (P) which result 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 it’s recommended to keep
the shift values within the field of view (F) as illustrated below. 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.

About Projector Toolset
Projector Toolset is a software tool to set up, configure, manage and control Barco projectors.
The concept of this Projector Toolset software is modular. The basic package can be extended with several optional device plug-in
modules, now and in the future available.
The Projector Toolset software works with configurations that can be loaded. Within a confi guration, different snapshots can be
taken. A snapshot represents a current state of a configuration and can be reloaded to return to this typical state. These terms will
be used through the complete software.
Projector Toolset is a stand-alone application that runs on a Java Virtual Machine and that does not require extra services to run.
Several configurations can be controlled simultaneously. Even when the configurations are connected via different ways.
Projector Toolset is only available in a download version, no CD can be ordered.
Where to find the download file(s)

up for temporary use, follow the “Quick setup” instructions below. For a more complete setup, follow the instructions and guides
covered in the remaining subsections.
Quick setup
The following steps describe briefly how to setup your CLM projector in a table mount front projection. Note that each step refers to
a corresponding procedure, which is more detailed and illustrated.
1.Install the batteries of the remote control, see "RCU battery installation", page 20.
2.Place the projector on a solid table in front of the screen at the expected throw distance. Ensure that the projector is installed
at right angles (horizontally and vertically) with the screen.
3.Select and install an appropriate lens, which covers the throw ratio ( = screen size / projector screen distance). For more details
see "Lens selection", page 23.
4.Connect the projector with the local power net, see "Power connection", page 35.
5.Connect your source to the appropriate input module, see "Input source connections", page 37.
6.Switch ON the projector, see procedure "Switching on", page 45.
7.Select the input slot at which your source is connected with. Do this by pressing the numeric key “1” or “2” on the remote control
unit or on the local keypad, see "Source selection", page 53.
8.Zoom and shift the lens until the image is properly projected on the screen, Do this by using the “ZOOM” and “FOCUS” key on
the remote control unit or on the local keypad, see"Quick Lens Adjustment via LENS key", page 48 or "Direct Lens Adjustment
(RCU)", page 49. If necessary, level the projector from side to side by turning the adjustable feet in or out, see "Alignment of a

3.2.2Lens selection
How to select the right lens for your application
1. Determine the required screen width (SW).
2. Determine the position of the projector in the projection room with regard to the screen and measure the projector-screen distance
(PD).
3. Use the lens formulas to find the best corresponding PD with regard to the measured projector-screen distance for the required
screen width SW.
Tip:Divide PD by SW to determine the approximate throw ratio. Choose a Lens, which captures the calculated throw ratio.
Use the lens formula of the chosen Lens to recalculate exactly.
