1.1 Warnings
To prevent personnel injury
Insure that the projector is installed in an easy to evacuate room in case of a lamp explosion.
The customer should never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing or to dispose of the lamp casing other than by returning it to
BARCO.
To prevent injuries and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before connecting to the wall outlet,
or adjusting the projector.
NEVER look into the lens ! Due to the high luminance damage to the eye can happen.
Before attempting to remove the projector’s cover, you must turn off the projector and disconnect from the wall outlet.
When performing set up work at a ceiling mounted projector, to prevent injury caused by falling obje

Consult a professional structural engineer prior to suspending the ceiling mount from a structure not intended for that use. Always
ensure the working load limit of the structure supporting the projector.
The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When me

Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and unplug the mains supply
immediately. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
The projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures free flo

3. Installation Guidelines
Environment
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
Environment Condition Check
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow 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 surfac
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.
Only ever use the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors 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
non-effective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures 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 manufacture reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
What about Ambient Light?
The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sun
light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be
covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and
floor are of non-reflecting material. The use of recessed ceil
is also important. Too much ambient light will ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest
and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to
the point where there is just sufficient light to read or wr
interference with the screen is minimal.
ing lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level
ite comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that

Special Care for Laser Beams
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as performant laser equipment. Direct or indirect
hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices (TM) in which case there is a loss of warranty.
Which Screen Type?
There are two major categories of screens used f
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount
of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain.
The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10)
or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration
called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the
highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information
about screens, contact your local screen supplier.
or projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
What Image Size?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with an aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
3.3 Projector Position
CAUTION: Improper positioning of the projector may reduce the lamplife and result in severe accident orfire
hazard.
Projector Position
Keep following projector position guidelines in mind when installing the projector:

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.
Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.
4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the
cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.
Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this TorayseeTMcloth.
