2.4 Heat and Fire Hazards
Warning Risk of Fire
Warning Risk of Fire: Do Not Place Flammable or Combustible Materials Near P rojector !
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 all DLP
Cinema projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side m ust be at least 5 m . Do not cover the projector or the lens with any
material while the projector is in operation. Keep flammable and combu stible materials away from the projector at all times. Mount
the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of d irect sun light. Never expose the projector to rain
or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO

person when service or repair work is required.
• The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons.
Projector Damage
If the Air Filters are not reg ularly replaced (A "clean" booth would be monthly-minimum ), the air flow inside the projector could be
disrupted, causing overheating. O verheating may lead to the projector shutting down during oper ation.
In order to ensu re that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility requirements,
it should always be operated with all of it’s covers in place.
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 be en checked by qualified service personnel.
The projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation of
the hot air e xhausted from its cooling system. Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the ex hausted air or on
the lamp house.

2.6 Protection from Ultraviolet Radiation
Do not look directly in the high intensity light beam
WARNING: Do not look directly in the light beam. T he 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. P rotecting the skin can be acc omplishe d 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 I ndustrial 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 adv ised to assure employees are not exposed to c umulative
radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines.

WARNING: The installation of the DP-1500 projector requires at least 2 persons.
General guide lines
• Use a solid pedestal to put the DP-1500 projector on. Ensure that the pedestal can h andle the weight of
all feet of the projector are captured.
• The ped estal should be placed in front of the port window wall in this manner that the projector front cover is at a distance of
minimum 20 centimeter from the port window.

Barco offers a pedestal for the DP-1200 digital projector. This universal pedestal allows a solid and easy setup
of the projector. The universal pedestal has a separate compartment to install the UPS unit (if available) for
the DP-1200 digital projector. Futhermore, the universal pedestal contains a standard 19” rack to build in the
projector peripherals like alternative content switchers (e.g. ACS-2048).

Projector centering
1. If the projector is standalone in front of the port window, center the projector with the theatre screen (see ref A image 3-7).
2. If a film projector is already present (projector will be off-center), try to optimize aim (see ref B imag e 3-7).
Note: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the screen as possible, even if it is
significantly above the screen center.
The off-center position slightly increase side keystone, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.

Projector tilting
In an ideal installation, the DP-1500 lens surface is centered with and parallel to the screen. This orientation he lps to ensure
optimized lens performances with minimal offset. If this position is not pos sible (such as when the projector is significantly higher
than the center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt.
1. Before adjusting tilt, make sure the projector is as well-centered with the theatre screen as possible for your installation area.
2. Check with theatre personnel for th
3. Tilt the projector to closely match this screen tilt angle as follows:
- Loosen the nuts (A), using a w rench of 17 mm, on the threaded rod.
- Adjust the height of the legs until the projected im age matches the projection port window and the screen tilt.
- Secure the leg height by tightening the nuts (A).
