1. Safety
To prevent fire hazard
•Do not place fl ammable 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 fl ammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than
40 cm (16”) for all DLP projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. Do not cove
r 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

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 completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
•Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air or on the lam
p house.
•When the projector is used in portrait mode, the air outlet is positioned towards the floor. That’s why the floor covering can
become very hot and must be resistant to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F).
To prevent projector damage
•This projector has been designed for use with a specific lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
•Theairfilters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth would be monthly-minimum).
Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside th
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.
•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 remove all power
from the projector. 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. Loose papers or other objects may not be
nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.
•Do not use this equipment near water.
•Proper operation of the cooling circuit can only be guaranteed in the allowed projector positions. It is not allowed to use the
projector in another position. See installation instructions for correct installation.
•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
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 Devices
case there is a loss of warranty.
•Save the original shipping carton and packing material. They will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For
maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
•Disconnect the power to the projector mains terminals and unplug the power cord at UPS INLET before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or
abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with
mild detergent solution.
•To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective
coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent
solution, or thinner.

2. General
Cooling requirements
The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector head, minimum 20 cm (8”) 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 +35°C (+95°F).
For an overview of all air inlets and outlets of the projector, see "Air inlets and outlets", page 20.
Clean air environment
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ve
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 t
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.

It is forbidden to lift up the projector with manpower, use a hoisting tool instead. Do not underestimate the weight of the projector.
The projector weights ±220 kg (±485 lb.).
Be sure that the structure on which the projector has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the
system.
2.2Unpacking the projector
Let the projector acclimatize after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the Light Processor Unit.
Introduction
Upon delivery, the projector is packed in a cardboard box placed on a pallet and secured with banding and fastening clips. To provide
protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam. Once the projector has arrived at its destination, it needs to
be removed from the cardboard box and the pallet in a safe manner and without damaging the projector.
How to unpack the projector?
1. Loosen the banding by pulling the free end of the banding loop in the clip.
Remove the box cover.

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.
The lens is delivered in a separate box.
2.3Initial inspection
General
Before shipment, the projector was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. As soon as the projector is
unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Save all packing material until the inspection is completed. If
damage is found, file claim with carrier immediately. The Barco Sales and Service office should be notified as soon as possible.
The packaging of the HDQ 2K40 projector is provided with a shock-watch label. If this shock-watch label
was triggered (red colored at arrival) during transport, that indicates that the package was possibly roughly
handled by the transport company. In this case, the instructions mentioned on the label, should be followed,
which are: adding a note on the “bill of lading” and informing the transport company and the Barco sales and
service office as soon as possible.

Image 2-6
The HDQ 2K40 projector has 3 air inlets (1 at the front and 2 at the bottom) and 2 air outlets (on the exhaust box on top of the
projector).
WARNING: When the projector is used in portrait mode, the air outlet is positioned towards the floor. That’s
why the floor covering can become very hot and must be resistant to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F).
WARNING: The air fi lters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth
would be monthly-minimum). Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector, causing overheating. Overheating may le

WARNING: The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the air inlets, mini-
mum 20 cm (8”) to ensure sufficient air flow. Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector
than 10 cm (4") on any side.
The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures unimpeded evacuation of the hot air from
its cooling system.
The projector should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as measured at the projector air inlet,
does not exceed +35°C (+95°F).
