1. Preliminary Remarks

1.3 Safety information

This section describes safety precautions which must be observed when installing a product from Barco.

Safety standards

The safety standards of information technology equipment impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials and isolation, in order to protect the user or operator against the risk of electric shock and energy hazard, and having access to live parts.

Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against risk of fire.

Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the use even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.

General safety instructions

• All the safety and operating instructions should be read before using this unit.

• The operating instructions manual should be retained for future reference.

• All warnings on the device and in the documentation manuals should be adhered to.

• All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.

• All local installation codes should be adhered to.

Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified Barco personnel or authorized Barco service dealers.

1.3.1 Safety on installation

Check the power rating on your outlet before connecting the devices to the wall outlet or to a power strip. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are not sure what type of power is supplied to your building.

The devices are designed to operate with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of power system.

A. Mains lead (AC Power cord) with CEE 7 plug:

The colors of the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:

Green-and-yellow: Earth (safety earth)

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Line (live)

Barco - LC series - R5976934 - user's manual - Revision 08 - April 2008

1. Preliminary Remarks

B. Power cord with NEMA 15-5 plug:

The wires of the power cord are colored in accordance with the following code:

Green or green/yellow: Ground

White or blue: Neutral

Black or brown: Line (live)

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the

cord.

• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products

plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.

• Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage

points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

• Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the

set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.

• Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended

and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the monitor due to lightning and AC power-line surges.

Warning: Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the monitor!

Transportation

• Any transportation of the unopened unit in its packaging should be done by two persons.

• In transportation or storage of products in original packing, NEVER stack more than the number stated on the

carton box. This warning is also indicated on the side of the card box.

• For transportation or storage, observe the warnings and instructions on the side of the card box.

Nearby equipment

If air conditioning ducts or lamps, etc. are located near the installation site, the attendant dust, extreme temperatures, humidity, and condensation may become sources of trouble. Please take sufficient steps to avoid this.

Safety locations

Do not install the unit where it may be easily touched or leaned against. Avoid locations subject to high vibrations or severe impacts. Do not install the unit where it is exposed to humidity, oil, smoke or excessive dust.

Mechanical stress.

Please be careful not to apply strong mechanical stress (shock, drop) to the LCD module. Such stress may cause break of screen glass and lamp or may be the cause for failure.

Pressure to screen surface.

Please be careful not to apply strong pressure to the screen surface. Such pressure may cause scratches at the surface or may be the cause of failure.

1. Preliminary Remarks

Protection against scratch.

Please be careful not to hit, press or rub the screen surface with hard material like tools. In addition, please do not put heavy or hard material on the screen surface, and do not stack monitors. Polarizer at the front surface can be easily scratched.

Temperature dependence of the display.

Response speed (optical response) of the LCD display is dependent on temperature. Under low temperature, response speed is slower. Also brightness and chromaticity change slightly depend on temperature.

Image retention

Displaying the same pattern for a long time may cause image sticking, vertical dark lines or other forms of image artifacts. This is a common phenomenon of all LCD displays. It disappears after some time if the pattern is changed, or the monitor is switched off. However, image retention is not subject of warranty. For more information contact Barco for a white paper on this topic.

Lightning conditions

Consider existing lightning and sunlight angles when creating the installation layout. Extremely bright lightning can reduce the visibility and the quality of the displayed image.

In extremely bright surroundings, adjusting screen intensity may not result in perceptibly brighter images. Keep in mind that extreme intensity settings can reduce system service life.

Barco products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this device could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire.

The exclusion zone must be not less than 10 cm (4"). Do not cover the monitor with any material while it is in operation.

Keep flammable and combustible materials away from the monitor at all times. Mount the monitor in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose this product to rain or excessive moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO

, or dry powder fire extinguishers; never use water on an

electrical fire.

Always have service performed on this product 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 device.

Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the display. For a replacement power cord, contact your dealer.

Slots and openings in the cabinet and the sides are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the device and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
