About this chapter
Read this chapter before installing your FLM HD20. It contains important information concerning installation requirements for the
FLM HD20, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions, required safety area around the
installed projector, required power net, compatible signal sources, etc.
Furthermore, careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use
are critical to the optimum use of the projection system.

2.1Installation requirements
2. General
Ambient temperature conditions
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for an operating Barco FLM HD20 may not exceed +40 ºC (+104 ºF).
The minimum allowed ambient temperature for an operating Barco FLM HD20 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 temperature is +65 ºC (+149 ºF).
Humidity conditions
Storage: 0 to 98% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Operation: 0 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Projector weight
Do not underestimate the weight of one Barco FLM HD20, which is about ±100 kg (±225 lb.). Be sure that the table or truss installation on which the projector(s) has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the complete system.
Power requirements
One Barco FLM HD20 requires 200-240 VAC, 50/60Hz, 20 amps at 230 VAC.
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 projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
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. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer’s warranty
and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
knowingly neglect, abandon or improper use.
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.
R59770180 FLM HD20 15/03/2010

2. General
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 1 meter (3.3 ft.) to maximum 18 meter (59 ft.) (depending on the
ambient light conditions), with an aspect ratio of 16 to 9 (recommended between 1 m (3.3ft) - 12 m (39.4ft)).
2.2Unpacking the projector
What has to be done ?
At delivery the projector is packed in a carton box upon a wooden pallet and secured with banding and fastening clips. Furthermore,
to provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam. Once the projector is arrived at the installation
site, it has to be removed from the carton box and wooden pallet in a safe manner without damaging the projector.
Necessary tools
•Side cutter.
•8 mm Allen key.
How to unpack the projector ?
1. Remove the banding around the carton box, by releasing the fastening clips as illustrated, and remove the top cover.
Image 2-1
2. Remove the power cord, which is attached to the packaging with a cable ties, and the two smaller carton boxes, located between
the inner carton sleeve and outer carton box.
Note: The two smaller carton boxes contain the manuals, the remote control unit (RCU), two standard batteries size AA and
four rigging clamps for projector suspension.

3. Remove the carton box, the inner carton sleeve and the foam around the projector. See image 2-2.
Note: The projector is still attached to a wooden plate, which is detached from the below pallet.
4. Gently turn the projector upside down to gain access to the four bolts, which secure the projector. Note that this wooden plate is
detached from the pallet.
Tip:Lay a blanket (or the earlier removed foam) on the floor to protect the projector housing form scratches while turning.
Image 2-3
5. Remove the wooden plate from the projector bottom, by releasing the four bolts. Use an 8 mm Allen key. See image 2-3.
6. Gently turn the projector back on its feet.
7. Remove the foam rubber around the carrying handle.
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.
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.

ly variable. This distance (A) is nominal 35 cm in case all feet are turned in completely
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 coinciding with the centre of the screen. Off-Axis projection is obtained by shifting the lens up, down, left or
right. Several parameters can be calculated determining the position in any installation.
Formula to calculate the distance CD for On-Axis projection: CD=SH/2+B-A
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.

Horizontal and vertical projector tilt ranges
The projector can be rotated and mounted at any vertical angle. In other words, you can tilt the lens side of the projector as much
as desired for your application. Side to side tile, however, must not exceed ±15°. This limit ensures that the lamp in the projector
operates properly and safely. More tilting within area C is allowed but lamp flicker can happen.

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 mod
modules, now and in the future available.
The Projector Toolset software works with configurations that can be loaded. Within a configuration, 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.

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, and "Lens installation", page 24.
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”, “2”, “3” or “4” on the
remote control unit or on the local keypad, see chapter "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 49 or "Direct Lens Adjustment
(RCU)", page 50. If necessary, level the projector from side to side by turning the adjustable feet in or out, see "Alignment of a
table mount FLM projector", page 27.
