•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.
•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-8 hour day to be less than 0,1 micro-watts 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. The exposer of this UV radiation is
allowed for only 1 hour per day for maintenance and service persons.
To prevent fire hazard
•Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
•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
100 cm (39.4”) for all DLP projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must 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
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, CO2 or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never use water on an electrical fire.
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.
•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.
•Let the projector cool down 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 and
unimpeded evacuation of the hot air from its cooling system.

Safety
•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) requirements, it should always be operated with all of its 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
unplug the mains supply immediately. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by
qualified service personnel.
•Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector.
•Do not use this equipment near water.
•Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same
room as high power laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely
damage the Digital Mirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty.
•Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror

injury to the retina in the back of the eye.
1.4 Risk Group 3 Safety
1.4.1 General considerations
Notice on optical radiation from G60 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.
R5910888 /05 G6014
Safety
WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3
(Risk Group 3) IEC EN 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
chapter “General considerations”, page 8.
To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors, spectators) 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 (SW)
lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In 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
6.6.3.5.
The installer and 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, separation height, 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 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. Sufficiently large separation height may be achieved
by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

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 1-3 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 1-3.
The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol.

USA market
For LIPs (Laser Illuminated Projectors) installed in the USA market other restriction zone conditions apply.
LIPs for installation in restrained environment (cinema theaters, business rooms, class rooms, museums ...)
shall be installed at height vertically above the floor such that the bottom plane of the hazard distance zone
R5910888 /05 G6016
Safety
shall be no lower than 2.5 meters above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be
not less than 1 meter. Alternatively, in case the height of the separation barrier for the horizontal clearance is
at least 1 meter high then the horizontal clearance (SW) can be reduced to:
•0 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.5 meter.
•0.1 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.4 meter.
•0.6 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.2 meter.
LIPs for installations in unrestrained environment (concerts, ...) shall be installed at a height vertically above
the floor such that the bottom plane of the Hazard distance Zone shall be no lower than 3 meters above the
floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 2.5 meters. Any human access
horizontally to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, shall be restricted by barriers. If human access is possible in an
unsupervised environment, the horizontal or vertical clearances shall be increased to prevent exposure to the
hazard distance zone.
The LIP shall be installed by Barco or by a trained and Barco-authorized installer or shall only be transferred to
laser light show variance holders. This is applicable for dealers and distributors since they may need to install
the LIP (demo install) and/or they transfer (sell, rent, lease) the LIP. Variance holders may currently hold a
variance for production of Class IIIB and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporating RG3 LIPs. Laser light
show variance can be requested via the FDA online eSubmitter portal or via FDA Form 3147 referencing to
Barco’s variance approval xxxx-xx-xxx.
The installation checklist for laser illuminated RG3 projectors must be fully completed after the installation.
The installation checklist can be downloaded from the Barco website. The last variance holder in the
distribution chain is responsible to maintain the installation checklist and to make it available on request of the
FDA. In case Barco is the last variance holder the checklist must be sent to pvg@barco.com.
In addition to temporary installations (e.g.: rental and staging, lease, events …) the following requirements
apply:
•Rental companies shall have a laser light show variance because they have direct relationship with the
installers of the rented equipment.
•This product shall be located in such a way that all propagating beam paths within the Restriction Zone,
and the audience can be directly observed at all times.
•Communication shall be maintained with other personnel assisting in surveillance of the LIP projection.
•In the event of any unsafe condition, immediately terminates (or designate the termination) of LIP
projection light.
Install one or more readily accessible controls to immediately terminate LIP projection light. The power input at
the projector side is considered as a reliable disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector,
disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible
(e. g. truss mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be
easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
1.4.3 HD for fully enclosed projection systems
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 1-4 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed
projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

As described in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 15, it is mandatory to create a
restricted zone within the beam areas closer than any HD. 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
