To prevent fire hazard
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 zonearound 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 not be less than 50 cm (20).
Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
For the F90 projector, the exclusion zone on the lens side within the light beam must be at least 1,5m.
For the F70 projector the exclusion zone on the lens side within the light beam must be at least 1,0m.
Caution! Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer than
100 cm (40) to the exhaust vent.
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.
Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to avoid overheating. Minimum safety distance to the exhaust area of the unit must not be less than 100 cm (40) and to the intake area, not less than 50 cm (20).
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.
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.
Always allow ample airflow through the projector.

1.3 Projector Hazard Distances

For F90 series: WARNING. This may be a RG3 laser Product, dependent on which lens used.
This projector may become Risk Group 3 (RG3) when an interchangeable lens with throw ratio greater than
3.15 is installed. For Northern America, installation requirements according to Risk group 3 (RG3) must be followed when interchangeable lens with throw ratio greater than 2.33 is installed
Refer to the product manual for the lens list and throw ratio before operation.
Do not look directly in to the beam from the projector lens.
No direct eye exposure to the beam is permitted.
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.
See table below for a definition of hazardous distances versus the throw ratio of the lens.
For F70 Series: WARNING. This may be a RG3 laser Product, dependent on which lens used.
This projector may become Risk Group 3 (RG3) when an interchangeable lens with throw ratio greater than
4.7 is installed. For Northern America, installation requirements according to Risk group 3 (RG3) must be followed when interchangeable lens with throw ratio greater than 2.5 is installed
Refer to the product manual for the lens list and throw ratio before operation.
Do not look directly in to the beam from the projector lens.
No direct eye exposure to the beam is permitted.
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.
See table below for a definition of hazardous distances versus the throw ratio of the lens.

1.4 High Brightness Precautions

Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD (Hazard Distance).
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 8 .
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 spectatorseyes 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 individuals shoulders, within the HD.

Safety
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 installationparameters, 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 individuals 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.
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.

A Side View B Top View RA Restricted Area PR Projector
TH Theater RZ Restriction Zone in the theater SH Separation Height SWSeparation Width
Regarding the SH Distance: For Cinema applications, the distance must be >2m. For Concert applications, the distance must be >3m.
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.
On image 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.

1.5 Hazard Distance for fully closed projection system

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 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).

Restriction zone (RZ) based on the HD continued.
For this type of setup 3 different HD shall be considered:
HD as discussed in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 6 , relevant for intrabeam
exposure.
HDreflection : the distance that has to be kept restrictive related to the reflected light from the rear
projection screen.
HDdiffuse : the relevant distance to be considered while observing the defuse surface of the rear projection
screen.
As described in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 6 , it is mandatory to create a restricted zone within the beam areas closer than any NOHD. In the enclosed projection area the combination of two restricted zones are relevant: The restricted zone of the projected beam toward the screen; taking into account 1 meter Separation Width (SW) from the beam onward. Combined with the restricted zone related to the rear reflection from the screen (HDreflection); also taking into account a 1 meter lateral separation.
The HDreflection distance equals 25% of the difference between the determined HD distance and the projection distance to the rear projection screen. To determine the HD distance for the used lens and projector model see graphs in chapter "HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR)", page 8 .
HDreflection = 25% (HD – PD)
The light emitted from the screen within the observation shall never exceed the RG2 exposure limit, determined at 10 cm. The HDdiffuse can be neglected if the measured light at the screen surface is below 5000 cd/m² or 15000 LUX.

2.7 Remote Control

2.7.1 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 2-4
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.

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.

2.7.2 Remote control, protocol setup

About the used protocol
The protocol is the code send out by the remote control when a button is pressed. Depending on this code, the projector can decode the signals. The remote control can be used with two different protocols, RC5 and NEC. Depending on the projector to control the remote control can be switched between these protocols.
Which protocol to use
The NEC protocol have to be used for Barco projectors based on the Pulse platform: Loki, Balder, F70,
F80, F90, HDX 4K, UDX, ...
The RC5 protocol have to be use all other Barco projectors: HDX W, HDF W, HDQ 2K, ...
How to set
1. Remove the cover. For more info on how to remove, see “Remote control, Battery installation”, page 31.
2. Place the switch in the NEC position.

Remark with RC5 protocol
Not all buttons of the Pulse RCU are one-to-one compatible with the legacy Barco RCU. Button pairs SHUTTER open/close and POWER on/off emit the same code (per pair) when in RC5 mode, because the legacy RCUs only had 1 button for Shutter and 1 button for Standby.

2.7.4 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 2-8). 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.

Select which sensors to be disabled.
Enter the Apply button to confirm the action
When all sensors are turned off, the projector will not receive any signals from the remote control. To enable the sensors again, use the keypad on the projector.

2.7.6 Wired RC connection

About
The remote control can also be directly wired to the projector from the stereo jack connector on the remote, (See Functionality overview, page 33 ), to the RC connector on the back panel of the projector.(See section Connector Panel)
In this mode, the projector will not be affected by signals from other non-wired remote controls.
601–426-03 F70 Series34
Page 35
Getting to know the projector.
When using wired remote control, the broadcast address must be set to Generic ID (0). See the menu in Enable / Disable Remote Control, page 34.
It is not possible to program the remote control in wired mode. (Directly connected, no sense in programming).

2.8 Projector Address

Projector address
Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.
Broadcast address
Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that broadcast address.

2.8.1 Controlling the projector

Why a projector address?
As more than one projector can be installed in a room, each projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or computer. Therefore each projector has its own address.
Set up an individual Projector Address
The set up of a projector address can be done via the software.
Projector controlling
When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now:
with the RCU: only for addresses between 1 and 31.
Broadcast Address
Every projector has a broadcast (common) address '0' or '1'. The default address is '0'. The choice between '0' and '1' can be selected in the GUI: System Settings” → “Communication” →“IR Control
.
Placing new batteries in the remote control or plugging the remote to a projector via a cable will automatically reset the address back to its default value '0'.

3.4 Lens shift

General
Use the Remote control or the keypad on the Projector to adjust the lens shift mechanism.
The lenses can be shifted vertically and horizontally to facilitate precise image positioning in single and multiple projector systems. The projector allows for horizontal and vertical shift in both directions. Always place the projector perpendicular to the screen, and use the lens shift to align the picture.
If not possible to align the projector perpendicular to the screen, due to environmemt of other, see chapter Warp – 4 Corners adjustment, page 95
When EN 68 lens is installed in the projector, there are some limitations in the lens shift range, in order to avoid damage to the lens.
This limitation will be identified as an reduction in the output light from the projector when the shift position exceeds the defined range. The output light will then be reduced to 20% of max.

3.5 Adjust zoom and focus

General
Zoom controls the size of the projected image.
Focus controls the sharpness of the projected image.
Lens zoom and focus adjustments are motorized. You can use the remote control, local keypad, OSD and/or RS-232 commands to adjust the lens zoom and focus positions.
Not all lenses have zoom or iris control. The matrix below shows what controls are available per lens.

Iris Zoom Focus
For best results, lens adjustments should be done in the following order: zoom, focus and then iris (where applicable).

3.6 Adjust Iris

General
Iris controls the contrast and focus depth of the image. Decreasing the iris will increase contrast and image
depth, at the same time as it decreases brightness.
Iris control is, as for the zoom and focus control, motorized, and is operated by the remote control or local keypad.
Iris is only available for units with COLOR type colorwheel.
To enter Iris control, enter the menu Home/Installation/Lens /Iris

4.3 Initial inspection

General
Each projector is inspected and rigorously tested at our production facility to ensure that it is free from any mechanical or electrical defects.
Upon receipt of the projector, we recommend that customers inspect the projector for any signs of damage that may have occurred in transit. If damage is found, file a claim with the shipping carrier immediately. Notify the Barco Sales and Service office, or your preferred Barco agent, of the damage as soon as possible.
Box Contents
Your projector box should contain the following:
Projector unit
Power cord (suitable for region)
Quick start guide
Safety manual
Remote Control
The projector lens is delivered in a separate box.

4.4 Positioning the projector

CAUTION: The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from
accidental or involuntary movement. Proper securing of the projector is the responsibility of the installer and user. The Projector are heavy, and can cause severe damage and injuries if falling.

Physical Installation
General guidelines
Proper positioning of the projector lessens the overall picture setup time, and ensures a better image with fewer artifacts.
Focus and sharpness of the image can be adversely affected if the lens axis is not fully perpendicular to the projection surface.
Using extended cable lengths may result in reduced image quality as well as loss of control information such as EDID (Extended Display Information Data).
The following guidelines can help you determine the best physical location for the projector.
Only install the projector on a sturdy flat surface, or in an approved rigging frame.
Do not install the projector in a thoroughfare or another area where it is at risk of being pushed or jostled.
Allow sufficient free space around the projector for ventilation and exhaust, as described in section 4.2
Use the throw ratio of the installed lens as a guideline for the projector’s physical distance from the screen.
Wherever possible, the projector lens surface should be positioned so that it is perfectly perpendicular to
the center of the screen. Use the projector offset (lens shift), rather than physical angling, to correct any off-center positioning.
Minimize the source cable length as much as possible.
In general HDBaseT and 3G-SDI are long-haul interfaces and suitable for bespoke installations using relatively long cables. DP, HDMI and DVI are short-haul interfaces using pre-assembled cables with limited cable lengths.
Limit the use of power cable extensions wherever possible. Where physical limitations necessitate their
use, make sure that the extension cord has adequate surge protection and meets all electrical requirements of the connection.
Keep the projector away from equipment that emits electromagnetic energy for example, motors,
transformers and elevators.

4.5 Mounting the projector, general considerations

Mounting safety
When mounting a projector in a rig, always use an interface plate (between the projector and the mount) that has provision for a safety wire or another safety mechanism, to ensure that the projector does not fall down should the interface plate come loose from the mount.
Always screw the interface plate securely to the projector body while the projector is on the ground (i.e. cannot fall down). Then attach proper safety wire between the interface plate and the rig before mounting the projector in the rig
Using 3rd party mounting equipment
The projector has features for mounting into various system environments using 3rd party mounts.
Four mounting inserts are located on the bottom of projector. The ceiling mount inserts have a pull-strength of more than 4x the weight of the projector.
The feet can be removed and threads can be used for additional mounting points. See table below for dimensions.
Parameter Value
Thread size M12 Length 18mm max 18mm max
Where possible, the projector lens must be positioned exactly perpendicular to the center of the screen. Use the projector offset (lens shift), rather than physical angling, to correct any off-center positioning.
CAUTION: The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from accidental or involuntary movement. Proper securing of the projector is the responsibility of the installer and user.

CAUTION: Always use a Rigging Frame when the projector shall be mounted in other ways than on the feet, on a flat surface.
The threaded hole in the lower back end of the projector is NOT suitable for lifting or other heavy operations. Only for adjustment purposes.
Installation and use of the Rigging Frame are described in document R5906768 Multifunctional Frame Installation Manual.
Mounting on a flat surface
1. Position the projector at the desired location.
2. Power up the projector.
3. Go to Main Menu / Test Patterns and select an internal hatch pattern to display on the screen.
4. Adjust the projector legs until the projected hatch pattern is a level and perfect rectangle.
Adjustable feet
Twisting the adjustable feet in either direction, left or right, allows you to fine-adjust the projector position for precise vertical mechanical alignment.
Image 4-2
Mounting to a ceiling
1. Install the projector in to an approved rigging frame.
2. Install the rigging frame to the desired location.
3. Power up the projector.
4. Go to Main Menu / Installation / Orientation and select the correct orientation for your setup.
5. Go to Main Menu / Test Patterns and select an internal hatch pattern to display on the screen.
6. Adjust the position (height and angle) of the rigging frame until the projected hatch pattern is a level and
perfect rectangle.
If applied in a motion rig, care must be taken to stay within the environmental specifications for vibration and shock. It may also be necessary to use additional, custom means to stabilize the projection lens to make sure that the projected image remains in position and properly focused.

4.7 Throw distance

Calculate the installation throw distance
Throw is the distance (D) measured from your projector lens to the screen. To calculate the throw distance for an installation, you will need two pieces of data: the selected lens throw ratio (L) and the horizontal width (W) of the screen. For example, if the screen width (W) is 2.4 meters and the projector lens has a throw ratio (L) of
0.99:1, then the throw distance (D) will be 2.38 meters.
Calculation: 2.4 x 0.99 = 2.38

4.8 Scheimpflug (Boresight) adjustment

What is Scheimpflug?
The lens holder has to be adjusted so that the sharp focus planeof the projected image falls together with the plane of the screen (Fp1Fp2). This is achieved by changing the distance between the DMD plane and the lens plane (Lp1Lp2). The closer the lens plane comes to the DMD plane the further the sharp focus plane will be. It can occur that you won't be able to get a complete focused image on the screen due to a tilt (or swing) of the lens plane with respect to the DMD plane. This is also known as Scheimpflug's law. To solve this the lens plane must be placed parallel with the DMD plane. This can be achieved by turning the lens holder to remove the tilt (or swing) between lens plane and DMD plane (Lp3Lp4).
Image 4-7: Scheimpflug principle
601–426-03 F70 Series 55
Page 56
Physical Installation
Scheimpflug principle
The "plane of sharp focus" can be changed so that any plane can be brought into sharp focus. When the DMD plane and lens plane are parallel, the plane of sharp focus will also be parallel to these two planes. If, however, the lens plane is tilted with respect to the DMD plane, the plane of sharp focus will also be tilted according to geometrical and optical properties. The DMD plane, the principal lens plane and the sharp focus plane will intersect in a line below the projector for downward lens tilt.
Scheimpflug adjustment points
Scheimpflug adjustment points are located on the lens mount. The F70 has three (3) set screws and three (3) adjustment screws.
When to apply Scheimpflug?
Scheimpflug correction procedures may only be carried out by suitably trained and experienced technicians.
A Scheimpflug correction should only be applied when the overall focus of the projected image is not equally sharp (for example, if the projector is NOT in parallel with the screen or as a result of a previously misaligned Scheimpflug). Be aware that the consequence of applying Scheimpflug correction upon a screen not in parallel with the projector is that the projected image differs from the rectangle shaped image. In other words distortionof the projected image occurs. Masking will be required to solve the distortion.
The disadvantage of Masking is loss of content. Therefore it is strongly recommended to place the projector in parallel with the projection screen and use the SHIFT functionality of the Lens Holder to match the projected image with the projection screen. If the SHIFT range is not sufficient then the projector can be tilted and Scheimpflug can be applied.

4.9 Scheimpflug adjustment procedure

CAUTION: A Scheimpflug adjustment should only be carried out by properly qualified and
experienced projection specialists. A poor Scheimpflug adjustment may result in an extremely degraded image and will require factoryservicing to the projector.
Required tools
Allen key, hex size 4
Allen key, hex size 6
Preparation
1. Prepare the test area. Barco recommends a projector-screen distance of 2 metres be used for all Scheimpflug
adjustments.
Verify that the throw ratio of the installed lens matches the requirements of the installation area (projection distance and screen size).
2. Check that the lens is correctly installed, and lens shift is in centre position.
3. If the installed lens has Iris control, open the Iris all the way up.
4. Open the focus ring all the way up.
5. Go to Main Menu / Test Patterns / Full Screen and select to display the Focus test pattern.
6. Zoom the lens to its widest opening (maximum image size on the screen).
Apply a Scheimpflug correction
1. Loosen the three set screws (reference 1b, 2b, 3b). Use a size 6 hex key to do this.

2. Adjust the left side Scheimpflug adjustment screw (reference 1) until the test image in the top right side of the
screen is in focus. Use a size 4 hex key to do this.
Note: This process may cause the other areas of the image to slide out of focus. This is totally normal.
Image 4-9
3. Adjust the right side Scheimpflug adjustment screw (reference 2) until the test image in the top left side of the
screen is in focus. Use a size 4 hex key to do this.
Note: This process may cause the other areas of the image to slide out of focus. This is totally normal.
Image 4-10
4. Adjust the top Scheimpflug adjustment screw (reference 3) until the test image in the bottom half of the screen
is in focus. Use a size 4 hex key to do this.
Note: This process may cause the other areas of the image to slide out of focus. This is totally normal.

5. Continue adjusting the screws one at a time until the test image is uniformly sharp across all areas of the
display.
6. Test the focus by zooming out (minimum image size on screen) and then zooming in again. Verify the image is
still sharp. If there are any deviations to sharpness, repeat steps 2 to 6 until the image is correct.
7. Tighten the three set screws in the following order: left (1b), right (2b) and then top (3b). Use a size 6 hex key
to do this.

7.4 Sharpness

About
The sharpness adjustment amplifies the high frequency components in the picture, meaning that by increase the sharpness, the picture will be perceived as sharper, and if decreased, the picture will be perceived as more blurry.
Increasing the sharpness will have the best effect in high contrast images, eg a table with text and borders.
In a natural picture, high sharpness can be perceived as noise, as all details in the picture will be amplified. Available range 2 to 8.
Default value: 0

7.5 Gamma Adjustment

About Gamma correction.
Gamma compensation, or gamma correction, is a way of adjusting the signal input to light output characteristics of a display or projector in order to suit the eyes sensitivity to different light levels and to compensate for non-linearities in displays. Without gamma compensation, images may look too dark or too
601–426-03 F70 Series78
Page 79
Image menu
bright, lack detail or depth. By adjusting the amount of gamma compensation changes, you change only the perceived brightness levels.
Different types of displays have different gamma factors that need to be corrected in order to look and be perceived the same. For example, an MS Windows generated image displayed on a CRT monitor will require a gamma correction value of about 2.5 to avoid color bleaching and burning.
The gamma curve correction formula is based on output level input level ^ gamma.
1. Enter the menu Home/Image, and select Gamma.
2. Use the arrow keys to adjust the Gamma value, until the colors seems to be perceived correctly. The default
value is 2,2.

8.4 Warping

8.4.1 About Warping

About
Image warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for the distortion of the screen, typically by non perpendicular alignment of the projector versus the screen. The image will then typically occur as shown inImage 8-9.
While an image can be transformed in various ways, pure warping doesnt affect the colors.

8.4.3 Warping – Screen Size

About (Warp) Screen Size adjustment
If the used screen aspect ratio is different than the projector aspect ratio, e.g. source is 16:9 and projector is 16:10, then black bars will be projected. In the example case a black bar on top and bottom of the image will be projected. The warp area contains not only the image information but also the black bars. If we want to position e.g. the active left top corner exactly on the screen using 4 corner warp, then it is very hard to do that as we are moving the black left top corner and we do not have control over the exact position of image left top corner. By moving the outline of the warp screen size to the active image information, the corner points of the warp area are now exactly on the corner points of the active image information and makes warping much easier.
