SAFETY INSTRUCTION RELATED TO SLM PROJECTORS

Warnings

To prevent personel injury

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.

To prevent injuries, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to carry 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 objects or the system, set out a keep out area.

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 mentioned to switch of the projector, to access some parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side.

To prevent projector damage

If the Air Filters are not regularly replaced, the air flow inside the projector could be disrupted, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.

In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electro-Magnetic Compatibility requirements, it should always be operated with all of it's covers in place.

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 flow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation of the hot air exhausted from its cooling system. Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air.

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

To prevent battery explosion

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Federal Communication Commission

PACKAGING AND DIMENSIONS

Projector Packaging

Way of Packaging

The projector can be packed in two different ways :

- in a flightcase or

- in carton.

Flightcase

The projector is packed in a flightcase.

Carton

To provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam, placed on a wooden palette and enclosed within a sturdy fibreboard carton. The package is then secured with banding and fastening clips.

To unpack :

First release the two fastening clips and remove the banding. Handle as shown in the drawing.

As the projector is mounted on a wooden palette, turn out the 8 retaining bolts. Use a 13 mm wrench to remove these bolts.

Take the projector out of its shipping carton by handling by the carry handle and place it on the floor or table. Warning : Due to the projector's weight (46.5 kg), two people are required to lift the projector, one at each side using the carry handler. The purchaser is reminded to use good practice in lifting the projector to avoid risk of back injury.

Hint

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.

Warning: Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution

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 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.

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 optoelectronic components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistant 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 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.

Special care for Laser beams

Which screen type?

There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear 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.

Regardless of the type of screen used, it is important that your screen is of sufficient height to display the images at the aspect ratio intended to be used. If you have insufficient height, you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on your screen.

For more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier.

Projector Configurations

Which configuration can be used.

The projector can be installed to project images in four different configurations :

front/table, rear/table, front/ceiling or rear/ceiling.

Positioning the Projector

The projector should be installed perpendicular with the screen on a distance PD and water leveled in both directions. Four mounting positions are possible.

Be aware for the weight of the projector : 46.5 kg without projection lens. To carry the projector by the carry handler, 2 persons are needed.

The mounting position shown in the above images are shown for a nominal lens position.

When putting the projector on the 3 adjustable feet, use these feet to level the projector by turning these feet in or out.

Definitions of the Abbreviation on drawings

B = Distance between ceiling and top of the screen or between floor and bottom of the screen.

A = 299 mm , distance from the middle of the lens (in nominal position) to bottom side of the projector. A shift between -1.8 mm down to 8.5 mm up and 6.2 mm left and right are possible.

CD = Total distance between projector and ceiling or projector and floor.

SW = Screen width.

SH = Screen height (image height).

PD = Projector Distance, distance between screen and projector.

What image size? How big should the image be?

The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max (15 m 49.2ft) (depending on the ambient light conditions), with a aspect ratio of 4 to 3.

Re-adjusting the lamp position in the lamp casing

With higher run times, the light output of the lamp will decrease, which results in a lower light output on the screen. This light output decrease can be compensated by readjusting the position of the lamp.

As the projector has to be opened, this procedure has to be performed by qualified service technician.. Handle as follow :

1 On the side of the inputs, turn the retaining bolt a quarter counter clockwise. 2 Flip the cover to the left side and take off.

3. Start up the adjustment mode and select Service.

4. Select Lamp. The Z-axis indication (lamp menu in service mode) will be helpful while turning screw B (image 7). 5 Loosen the nut A (image 7) on the back of the lamp casing (nutdriver 10). 6 Adjust the screw B (image7) with an allen key by turning a little clockwise until the maximum light output is reached (the maximum

value of the Z-AXIS indication on the lamp menu).

7 Fasten the nut on the back of the lamp casing to secure this position (nutdriver 10).

Cleaning the lens

To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have developed recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.

A Toraysee

cloth is included with the lens kit.

Proceed as follows :

1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee

cloth.

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction. 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.

5. Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth.

6. Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.

Order number for a new Toraysee

cloth : R379058.
