• 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.
• Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation: Do not look directly in the light beam. The 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. Protecting the skin can be accomplished
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 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.

About this chapter
Read this chapter before installing your HDF series projector. It contains important information concerning installation requirements
and restrictions for the HDF series projector, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions,
required safety area around the installed projector, required power net, tilt, 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.

Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector head, minimum 10 cm (4 inch) to ensure
sufficient air flow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as measured at the projector air inlet , does not
exceed +40 °C (104 °F).
Clean air environment
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free fl ow 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.

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.
2.3 HDF series flight case
Introduction of the HDF series flight case
The HDF series flight case is designed to transport the HDF series projector in a safe and secure manner. The four caster wheels,
provided with breaks, and the eight handles make the HDF series flight case easy to handle. The floor of the flight case wagon is
equipped with two small covered compartments to store the remote control and the rigging clamps. Furthermore, three Velcro strips
are attached to the bottom for fastening the power cord of the projector.

Projector positioning
The projector should be installed at right angles (horizontally and vertically) to the screen at a distance PD. Note the distance (A)
between lens centre and table surface is slightly variable. This distance (A) is nominal 35 cm in case all feet are turned in completely
and the vertical lens shift is set to zero (0).
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.

2. Configurations, requirements and restrictions
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.

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 modular. The basic package can be extended with several optional device plug-in
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.
Where to find the download file(s
The program and all necessary plug-ins, as well as the Reference manual can be downloaded for free from my.barco.com. Registration is necessary.
