Safety

1.1 General considerations

General safety instructions

• Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

• Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by

authorized Barco service dealers.

• All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals should be adhered to.

• All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.

• All local installation codes should be adhered to.

Notice on safety

This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1, as basis for National safety regulation world wide. The safety standard covers information technology equipment including electrical business equipment intended to operate in “normal” environments (offices and homes). This safety standard imposes important requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against 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 the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing reduce the risk of hazards and contribute to ensure the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.

Notice on optical radiation

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 equivalent with lamp based systems.

Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The 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 “Hazard Distance”.

1.2 Important safety instructions

To prevent the risk of electrical shock

• This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source.

• This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable. If none of the

supplied power cables are the correct one, consult your dealer. 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 groundingtype plug. Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.

• 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. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have

not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the device. For a replacement power cord, contact your dealer.

• 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.

powering the projector or adjusting the projector.

R5906852-02 F80 series 11

Safety

• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to carry the

projector. The projector weights about ±26 kg (±57 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 (HD)”, page 16.

• 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 (HD)”, page 16.

• Don’t put your hand in front of the beam.

• This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics

inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous.

• A special device (“rigged frame”) based on an external frame must be used when the projector is deployed

in a hanging configuration, or when several projector must be stacked. See installation manuals for the correct use of these devices.

• 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 impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.

• Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit filled with Green Ethylene glycol diluted

(53% Glycol – 47% Demi water). 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 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 in the exhaust area must be not less than 100 cm (40”). The exclusion zone on the intake area must be not less than 50 cm (20”).

• 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.

• Do not cover the projector or the lens 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 the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO Always have service performed on this projector 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 projector.

R5906852-02 F80 series12

or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never use water on an electrical fire.

Safety

• Ensure no misalignment can occur. Prolonged exposure of wooden walls at close distance (< 20 cm) can

represent a fire risk. After alignment the projector shall be securely mounted to the pedestal.

• 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 projector damage

• Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due

to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface of the projection lens.

• 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

Safety

1.4 Risk Group 3 Safety

1.4.1 General considerations

Notice on optical radiation from F80 Projector when it becomes Risk Group 3.

• For RG3, no direct exposure to the beam shall be permitted.

For RG3, operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent eye exposure within the hazard distance.

• This projector has one or several built-in Class 4 laser clusters. Disassembly or modification is very

dangerous and should never be attempted.

• Any operation or adjustment not specifically instructed by the user’s guide creates the risk of hazardous

laser radiation exposure.

• Do not open or disassemble the projector as this may cause damage by the exposure of laser radiation.

FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY means installation can only be carried out by Barco AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL familiar with potential hazards associated with high intensity light beams.

WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3 (Risk Group 3) IEC 62471-5:2015

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

1.4.2 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)

Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the light source is less than the HD.

Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD

The 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)”, page 19.

To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors) the installation shall comply with the following installation requirements: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at the height that will prevent spectators' eyes from being in the hazard distance. Radiation levels in excess of the limits will not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meter (SH) above any surface upon which persons other than operators, performers, or employees are permitted to stand or less than 1.0 meter (SH) lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In non-cinema environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD.

These values are minimum values and are based on the guidance provided in IEC 62471-5:2015 section

6.6.5.

The end user must understand the risk and apply protective measures based upon the hazard distance as indicated on the label and in the user information. Installation method, barriers, detection system or other applicable control measure shall prevent hazardous eye access to the radiation within the hazard distance.

For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where persons may be present should be positioned in accordance with “the fixed projector installation” parameters, resulting in a HD that does not extend into the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the floor level. In non-cinema environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD. For example, a sufficiently large separation height may be achieved by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

Safety

For applications installed in the USA market the above limits for cinema like environments do not apply. The relevant minimum separation height is 2.5m (8,2 ft) by the FDA CDRH. Non cinema like environments require

2.5 meter (8.2 ft) separation height and 1.0 meter (3.3 ft) separation width for areas where restrained behavior

is to be expected. All other areas require 3.0 (9.9 ft) separation height.

TH Theater. RZ Restriction Zone in the theater. SH Separation Height. SWSeparation Width.

PR Projector.

Based on national 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 barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand.

OnImage 1-2 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier, like a red rope as illustrated in Image 1-2.

The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol.

1.4.3 HD for fully enclosed projection systems

Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD

The projector is also suitable for rear projection applications; projecting a beam onto a defuse coated projection screen. As displayed in Image 1-3 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

Remote Control Unit

2.1 Remote control, battery installation

Where to find the batteries for the remote control ?

The batteries are not placed in the remote control unit to avoid control operation in its package, resulting in a shorter battery life time. At delivery the batteries can be found in a separated bag attached to the remote control unit. Before using your remote control, install the batteries first.

How to install

1. Push the battery cover tab with the fingernail a little backwards (1) and pull, at the same time, the cover

upwards (2).

Image 2-1

2. Insert the two AA size batteries, making sure the polarities match the + and - marks inside the battery

compartment.

Tip: Use alkaline batteries for optimum range and life time.

Image 2-2

3. Insert (1) both lower tabs of the battery cover in the gaps at the bottom of the remote control, and press (2) the

cover until it clicks in place.

Image 2-3

R5906852-02 F80 series22

When replacing batteries, the broadcast address of the RCU will be reset to its default value '0'.

CAUTION: Replace with the correct battery type. Use two AA size batteries. There is a risk of

explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.

CAUTION: Replace the battery as explained above. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is incorrectly installed.

2.2 Using the mini-jack connector of the RCU

Connecting a cable with the mini-jack connector will reset the broadcast address of the RCU to its default value '0'.

How to use the mini-jack connector

1. Connect a cable with the mini-jack connector (reference 2 Image 2-4) of the RCU.

2. Connect the other end of the cable with the mini-jack input of the projector.

Remote Control Unit

Image 2-4

2.3 Remote control, on/off button

Purpose of the remote control on/off button

The Pulse remote control unit has at the front side an on/off switch (reference 1 Image 2-5). Switching off the remote control prevents that unwanted commands are send due to an accidental key press. Furthermore, switching the RCU off will extend the battery life time of the remote control.

To activate the remote control press the on/off button.

To deactivate the remote control press the on/off button again. Default when (re)placing batteries, is “ON”.
