Safety Instructions

1. Before returning an instrument to the customer, always make a safety check of the entire instrument, including, but not limited
to, the following items:

a) Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective and/or have been defeated during servicing. (1) Protective shields

are provided on this chassis to p rotect both the technician and the customer. Correctly replace all missing protective shields,
including any removed for servicing convenience. (2) When reins talling the chassis and/or other assembly in the cabinet,
be sure to put back in place all protective devices, including, but not limited to, insulating materials, barriers, covers/shields,
and isolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate this ins trument or permit it to be operated without all protective
devices correctly installed and functioning. Servicers who defeat safety features or fail to perform safety checks may be
liable for any resulting da mage.

b) Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which an adult or child m ight be able to insert their fi ngers and contact a

hazardous voltage. Such openings include, but are not limited to, (1) excessively wide cab inet v
improperly fitted and/or incorrectly secured cover panels.

c) Leakage Current Hot Check. With the instrument completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 220 V AC

outlet (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test). Use a leakage current tester or a metering system t hat complies
with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C101.0 Leakage Current for Appliances and Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) 1410, (50.7). With the instrument AC switch first in the on position and then in the off position, measure from a known
earth ground (metal waterpipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle bracket, metal
cabinet, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.). especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical
return path to the chass is. Any current measured must not exceed 1.5 m A. Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the
outlet and repeat test. ANY MEASUREMENT S NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE A POTENTIAL
SHOCK HAZARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED BEFORE RETURNING THE INSTRUMENT TO THE CUSTOMER OR
BEFORE CONNECTING ACCESSORIES.

e) Ozone: O perating lamp generates ozone gas which is harmful to the respiratory system. Therefore the lamp should be

operated in adequately ventilated equipment.

2. Read and comply with all caution and safety-related notes on or inside the projector cabinet or on the projector chassis, or on
the picture tube.

3. Design Alteration Warning - Do not alter or add to the mechanical or electrical design of this apparatus. Design alterations and
additions, including, but not limited to, circuit modifications and the addition of items such as auxiliary audio and/or video output
connections, might alter the safety characteristics of this apparatus a n d create a hazard to the user. Any design alterations
or additions may void the manufacturer’s warranty and may make yo u, the servicer responsible for personal injury or property
damage resu lting therefrom.

4. Lamp explosion Protection Warning – The lamp in this projector operates with a high internal pressure and there is a slight risk
that the lamp may e
in any manner witho ut first putting on shatterproof goggles equipped with side shields. People not so equipped must be kept
safely away while lamps are handled. Keep the lamp away from yo u r body. For continued explosion protection, replace t he
lamp only with

one of the s ame type number. Always replace the lamp before the rated life time.

xplode, particularly if it is used beyond its rated life. Do not remove, install, or otherwise handle the lamp

1. Safety

5. Hot Chassis Warning - This projector chassis has two ground systems: the primary ground system is formed by the negative
voltage of the rectified m ains (power) and is only used as a reference in primary circuits; the secondary ground system is
connected to earth ground via the earth conductor in the mains (power) lead. S eparation between primary and secondary
circuits is performed by the safety isolation transformers. Components bridging this transformers are also safety com ponents
and must nev er be defeated or altercated. A ll user-accessible conductive parts must be connected to earth ground, or are kept
at SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage).

6. Observe original lead dress. A lways inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-face, or frayed wiring. Do not change spa cing
between components, and between components and the printed-circuit board. Check AC power c ord for damage. Take extra
care to assure correct lead d ress in the following areas:

a) near sharp edges

b) near thermally hot parts - be sure that leads and components do not touch thermally hot parts

c) the AC supply

d) high voltage

7. Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear to have overheated or are otherwise damage d should be replaced with compo­nents, parts, or wiring that meet original specifications. Additionally, de termine the cause of overheating and/or damage and, if
necessary, take corrective action to remove any potential safety hazard.

8. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE - Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics some of w hich
are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection they give necessarily be obtain
components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Use of a substitute replacement that doe s not have the s ame safety charac­teristics as the recommended replacement part in BARCO service data parts list might create shock, fire, and/or other hazards.
Product Safety is under review continuously and new instructions are issued whenever approp
always consult t he appropriate current BARCO service literature.

9. Do not spray chemical o n or near this instrument or any of its assemblies.

10. Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices Som e semiconductor (solid state) devic es can be damaged easily by static elec tricity.
Such c ompo nents commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Exam ples of typical ES devices are integrated
circuits and some field-effect transistors and sem iconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to
help reduce the incidence of component dam age caused by static electricity:

a) Immediately before handling any semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by

touching a known earth gr ound. Wear a commercially available high impedance discharging wrist strap device.

b) After removing an electrical ass embly equipped with ES devices, pla

a 3M No 8210 table m at, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assem bly.

c) Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to da mage ES devices.

d) Do not remove a replacement E S device from its protective package until immediately before y ou are ready to install it

(Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminium foil or
comparable condu ctive material).

e) Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material

to the chassis or circuit assemb ly into which the device will b e installed. CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis
or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

f) Minimize bodily motions when handling unpacked repl

ing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to
damage an ES device).

• ATX: biggest connector

• board to board connectors

• flex foil connectors

The number mentioned next to the connector type indicates the amount of wires on this connector.

Board to board connectors

It is important to disconnect and connect this type of connectors in a straight way.

When plugging in a board to board connector, make sure it is completely in!

3.3.2 Wires and cable ties

CAUTION: If wires are not properly fixed to each other, to the chassis and/or to other components in the same

way as it was done in production, damage can occur!

Wires

Due to the amount of cables, some of the p rocedures described below can becom e quite complicated. Make sure to take into
account the following directions:

• before removing a wire, carefully take notice of its position

• when guiding a wire through a slot of the chassis, makes sure the connector does not get stuck

• when reinstalling a wired com ponent, make sure the w ire is in its original position

Cable ties

Different types of cable ties are used in this projector. Some of them can be reused, o thers need to be cut and will have to be
replaced by new ones d uring service activities.
