Guarantee and Compensation
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser
must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults Barco
must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning,
at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement
at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a
reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or
indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided by Barco, being a component
of the system or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties

• 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.
• Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit fi lled with Blue antifre
eze diluted (1/3 ethanediol – 2/3 Demi
water).
When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact a service technician.
The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. A
void exposure to pregnant women.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxious fumes.
• When the projector is mounted above persons, mount always a lens safety cable.
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 ventila

Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Chemicals
For safe handling information on chemical products, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). SDSs are available upon request via
safetydatasheets@barco.com.
1.3 Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)
HD
Light beam Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit
becomes lower than the applicable safety limit. The light beam can thus be considered as dangerous if the operator
is closer from the source than the HD.
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The HD is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the lowest projected beam where the irradiance equals
the applicable safety limit. 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 Ra tio (TR).

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.

knowingly neglect, abandon or improper use.
Main Power requirements
The HDX projector operates from a nominal mono phase power net with a separate earth ground PE.
Power requirements : 110-130V/200-240 V, 15A, 50-60Hz
The power cord required to connect the projector with the power net is delivered with the projector.
Projector weight
Do not underestimate the weight of the HDX projector. The projector weights about ±50 kg (±111 lb.) without lens. Be sure that the
pedestal on which the projector has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the system.
2.2 Unpacking the projector
What has to be done ?
Upon delivery, the projector is packed in a carton box upon a wooden pallet and secured with banding and
thermore, to provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam. Once the projector has arrived at the
installation site, it needs to be removed from the carton box and wooden pallet in a safe manner without damaging the projector.
After unpacking let the projector acclimatize to a room temperature higher then 10°C (50°F) and lower then
40°C (104°F). Neglecting this may result in a start up failure of the Light Processor Unit.

Save the original shipping cardboard box 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.
2.3 Initial 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 HDX 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.

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.
Formula to calculate the distance CD for On-Axis projection: CD=SH/2+B-A

2. General
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.

It is mechanical possible to shift outside the recommended field of view, but it will result in a decline of image
quality depending on the used lens and the zoom position of the used lens. Furthermore, shifting too much
in both directions will result in a blurred image corner.
Best image quality is projected in the On-Axis configuration.

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 tilt, 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.

3.2 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
•TheNEC protocol have to be used for Barco projectors based on the Pulse platform: F70, F80, F90, HDX 4K, UDX, ...
•TheRC5 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 23.
2. Place the switch in the NEC position.
Image 3-4
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 RCU’s only had 1 button for Shutter and 1
button for Standby.
3.3 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 3-5). 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”.

Functions button pressed indicator
• Rapidly flashes when commands are sent, this is the normal “button pressed” indication.
• 1 Short flash when remote control is switched ON by means of the on/off button.
• Continuously lit (up to 5 seconds) when address digits are expected after pressing the ADDR button.
•Slowlyfl ashes (2 times a second) when the battery level is becoming low; typically when more than 85% of the useful life is
past.
3.5 Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU
Displaying the Projector Address on the Screen.
1. If the projector is on, press the menu key and navigate to the Status page. The projector address and the broadcast address can
be seen under the Communication heading.
The projector’s address is displayed on the LCD status screen and / or the OSD.
How to Program an Address into the RCU?
1. Press the Address button until the Button pressed indicator lights up continuously (proximately 5 seconds).
2. Enter the address with the digit buttons within the time the indicator lights up (also proximately 5 seconds).
Note: That address can be any value betwe en 0 and 31.
Tip: A few examples:
To enter address 3, press "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU’s address to 3 and wait until the button pressed
indicator is out. Alternatively, you can also press “0” and “3”. This way, the button pressed indicator goes out immediately.
