Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1,
EN60950-1, UL60950-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, which are the safety standards of information
technology equipment including electrical business equipment. These safety standards impose important
requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or
operator against 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 the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing
ensures the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment's normal operation fails.
Notice on optical radiation
This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the
projector's optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting
the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance
value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye
and skin when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specifically related to the characteristics of
laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent with lamp
based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is defined from
the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the
maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “Hazard Distance”.
WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3
(Risk Group 3) IEC 62471-5:2015
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
R5906151-01 XDL10
Safety
Users definition
Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL refers to persons having appropriate technical
training and experience necessary to be knowledgeable of potential hazards to which they are exposed
(including, but not limited to HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC and ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY and HIGH
BRIGHTNESS PROJECTORS) in performing a task, and of measures to minimize the potential risk to
themselves or other persons. The term USER and OPERATOR refers to any person other than SERVICE
PERSONNEL, AUTHORIZED to operate professional projection systems.
The XDL projector is intended "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL familiar
with potential hazards associated with high voltage, high intensity light beams and high temperatures
generated by the light source and associated circuits. Only qualified SERVICE PERSONNEL, knowledgeable
of such risks, are allowed to perform service functions inside the product enclosure.
1.2 Important safety instructions
To prevent the risk of electrical shock
•This product is equipped with a five-terminal barrier strip for the connection of a 3W+N+PE or 3W+PE
three phase power system.
•This projector should be operated from an AC power source. Ensure that mains voltage and capacity
matches the projector electrical ratings.
•Electrical ratings for Star system (3W+N+PE):
-The cross-sectional area of the conductors in the power supply cord shall be 4 mm
to 8 AWG.
-The electrical rating of the XDL-4K60/75 projector is 200-240V/346-415V 3W+N+PE 16A 50-60Hz (Y
connection).
-The electrical rating of the XDL-4k30 projector is 200-240V/346-415V 3W+N+PE 10A 50-60Hz (Y
connection).
-The building installation has to be provided with a circuit breaker of 25-40 A to protect the complete
unit.
•Electrical ratings for Delta system (3W+PE):
-The cross-sectional area of the conductors in the power supply cord shall be 6mm
-The electrical rating of the XDL-4K60/75 projector is 200-240V 3W+PE 28A 50-60Hz (Δ connection).
-The electrical rating of the XDL-4k30 projector is 200-240V 3W+PE 15A 50-60Hz (Δ connection).
-The building installation has to be provided with a circuit breaker of 40 A to protect the complete unit.
•REMARK for XDL-4K60/75 projector: In case of a Delta system (3W+PE) the circuit breakers rated lower
than 40A can trip unwanted because of the internal laser power supply redundancy system. The projector
remains working if one internal laser power supply module fails or is removed, but this results in a higher
current in one mains power line. In case of very low line voltage (between 180V and 200V), and one failed
or removed laser power supply, the line current can reach 35A.
•Installation according to the local electrical code and regulations by qualified technical personnel only. Do
not defeat the purpose of the grounding.
•The cross-sectional area of the UPS inlet cord shall be not less than 0.75 mm² or AWG 18.
•The electronics of the projector (UPS INLET) must be powered either from a suitable UPS unit or from the
power outlet socket (UPS OUTLET) provided on the projector. An adapted short power cord (2-pole 3-wire
grounding) is added to the projector accessories to loop through the power from UPS OUTLET to UPS
INLET.
•The provided power output socket (UPS OUTLET) on the projector may only be used to provide power to
the projector electronics (UPS INLET). Never connect other devices to this power output socket.
•A readily accessible disconnect device must be incorporated externally to the equipment for removal of the

•Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to
the eye.
•Warning: extremely high brightness projector: This projector embeds extremely high brightness
(radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not
accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been defused within
the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light.
Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly
within the beam. This risk is not specific related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high
thermal induced energy of the light source; which is comparable with lamp based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance. The Hazard Distance
(HD) is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the
irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)”, page 16.
•Based on international requirements, no person in allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone
between the projection lens and the related Hazard Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by
creating sufficient separation height or by placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator
training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in “High Brightness

•For disposal of used batteries, always consult federal, state, local and provincial hazardous waste disposal
rules and regulations to ensure proper disposal.
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 ventilation ducts during normal
operation, which is both normal and safe. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close
proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this
reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external surfaces of the projector
whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than 40
cm (16”) for this projector.
•Do not place any object in the projection light path at close distance to the projection lens output. The
concentrated light at the projection lens output may result in damage, fire or burn injuries.
•Ensure that the projector is solidly mounted so that the projection light path cannot be changed by
accident.
•Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. . Mount the
projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose
the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO
use water on an electrical fire. Always have service performed on this projector 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 projector.
•Slots and openings in this equipment are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the
projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This projector should not be placed in a
built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
•Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent
hot exhaust air from projector and cooling system to the outside of the building.
•Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never

To prevent projector damage
•The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth area
would be monthly-minimum. Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector,
causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
•The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
•If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air flow requirements are
valid for EACH individual projector system. Note that inadequate air extraction or cooling will result in
decreased life expectancy of the projector as a whole as well as causing premature failure of the lasers.
•In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) and safety requirements, it should always be operated with all of it's covers in place.
•Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The device should not be placed in a built-in
installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.

in which case there is a loss of warranty.
•Never place the projector in direct sunlight. Sunlight on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror
Devices
TM
in which case there is a loss of warranty.
•Save the original shipping carton and packing material. They will come in handy if you ever have to ship
your equipment. For maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
•Disconnect the power to the projectors mains terminals before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine or
abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth
lightly dampened with mild detergent solution.
•To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with
an anti-reflective coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry
cloth. For lens cleaning follow the instructions precisely as stipulated in the projector manual.
•Rated maximum ambient temperature, t
= 35 °C (95 °F).
a
•Rated humidity = 5% RH to 75% RH Non-condensed.
•An external frame must be used to stack projectors.
•For functionality and reliability, the projector requires accurate temperature control and cooling below
ambient. Therefore a liquid cooling system is provided consisting of liquid circuits inside the projector
which are connected via hoses to external chillers. Only chiller models and hoses exclusively developed
for this application and approved by Barco are allowed to be used. Barco approved chillers models are
listed on the Barco website.
•An adequate draining system must be coupled with the drain pipes at the bottom of the projector to collect
and lead away the condensed water from the built-in air-dryers. The capacity of the draining system must
meet the humidity conditions wherein the projector operates. The water drain must arrives into an 'open'
water container!

To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors, spectators) the installation shall comply with the following
installation requirements: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the
product at the height that will prevent spectators' eyes from being in the hazard distance. Radiation levels in
excess of the limits will not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meter (SH) above any surface upon which

Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the
energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the
skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the
light source is less than the HD.

persons other than operators, performers, or employees are permitted to stand or less than 1.0 meter (SW)
lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In environments where
unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or
equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's
shoulders, within the HD.
These values are minimum values and are based on the guidance provided in IEC 62471-5:2015 section
6.6.3.5.
The installer and user must understand the risk and apply protective measures based upon the hazard
distance as indicated on the label and in the user information. Installation method, separation height, barriers,
detection system or other applicable control measure shall prevent hazardous eye access to the radiation
within the hazard distance.
For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where
persons may be present should be positioned in accordance with “the fixed projector installation” parameters,
resulting in a HD that does not extend into the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the
floor level. In environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation
height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual
sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD. Sufficiently large separation height may be achieved
by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

Based on national requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between
the projection lens and the related hazard distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating
sufficient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the
surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand.
On Image 1-2 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If
required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier,
like a red rope as illustrated in Image 1-2.

access horizontally to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, shall be restricted by barriers. If human access is
possible in an unsupervised environment, the horizontal or vertical clearances shall be increased to prevent
exposure to the hazard distance zone.
In addition for temporary installations (e.g.: rental and staging, lease, events …) the following requirements
apply:
•This product can only be installed by Barco or sold or leased only to valid laser light show variance holders.
In other words our installers are required to have an approved laser light show variance. Such installers
may currently hold a valid variance for production of Class IIIb and IV laser light shows and/or for
incorporation of the RG3 LIPs into their shows. Dealers and distributors are also required to obtain a valid
laser light show variance.
•This product shall be located in such a way that all propagating beam paths within the Restriction Zone,
and the audience can be directly observed at all times.
•Effects other than front or rear screen projections shall not be performed.
•Communication shall be maintained with other personnel assisting in surveillance of the LIP projection.
•In the event of any unsafe condition, immediately terminates (or designate the termination) of LIP
projection light.
Install one or more readily accessible controls to immediately terminate LIP projection light. The power input at
the projector side is considered as a reliable disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector,
disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible
(e. g. truss mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be
easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Laser light shows can be requested via the FDA online eSubmitter portal or via FDA Form FDA Form 3147

1.5 HD for fully enclosed projection systems
HD
Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the
energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the
skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the
light source is less than the HD.
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The projector is also suitable for rear projection applications; projecting a beam onto a defuse coated
projection screen. As displayed in Image 1-3 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed
projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

Where to find the batteries for the remote control ?
The batteries are not placed in the remote control unit to avoid control operation in its package, resulting in a
shorter battery life time. At delivery the batteries can be found in a separated bag attached to the remote
control unit. Before using your remote control, install the batteries first.
How to install
1.Push the battery cover tab with the fingernail a little backwards (1) and pull, at the same time, the cover
upwards (2).
Image 2-1
2.Insert the two AA size batteries, making sure the polarities match the + and - marks inside the battery
compartment.
Tip: Use alkaline batteries for optimum range and life time.
Image 2-2
3.Insert (1) both lower tabs of the battery cover in the gaps at the bottom of the remote control, and press (2) the
cover until it clicks in place.
Image 2-3
R5906151-01 XDL22
When replacing batteries, the broadcast address of the RCU will be reset to its default value '0'.
Pulse Remote Control Unit
CAUTION: Replace with the correct battery type. Use two AA size batteries. There is a risk of
explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
CAUTION: Replace the battery as explained above. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is
incorrectly installed.
2.2 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
•The NEC protocol has to be used for Barco projectors based on the Pulse platform: F70, F80, F90, HDX
4K, UDX, XDL, etc.
•The RC5 protocol has to be used all other Barco projectors: HDX W, HDF W, HDX 2K, etc.
How to set
1.Remove the cover. For more info on how to remove, see “Remote control, battery installation”, page 22.
2.Place the switch in the NEC position.
Image 2-4
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.
2.3 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 2-5). 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”.

2.4 Functions of the “button pressed indicator”
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.
•Slowly flashes (2 times a second) when the battery level is becoming low; typically when more than 85% of
the useful life is past.
2.5 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 between 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.
To enter address 31, then press “3” and “1” on the digit button on the RCU and the button pressed
indicator goes out immediately.
2.6 Using the XLR connector of the RCU
Connecting a cable with the XLR connector will reset the broadcast address of the RCU to its
default value '0'.
How to use the XLR connector
1.Remove the XLR cover by pulling it backwards.

Mark II
About the Quad combo input Mark II
Due to demand from the market, Barco has created a second generation of the Input board to support 12G
input and throughput on the SDI connectors. From the release of this board onward, the Quad combo input will
be supported and will be the standard input board in every Input & Communication Unit, effectively replacing
the Mark I variant.
The updates on this new board include the following compared to its predecessor:
•SDI Input A now also supports 12G input signals.
•SDI Input C now also functions as a loop-through output for any signal placed on Input A.
•SDI Input D now also functions as a loop-through output for any signal placed on Input B.
•HDBaseT Input 1 now also supports network connectivity.
SDI Input & output – How does it work?
When connecting an SDI source to the projector and the signal is HD or 3G, you can choose any of the four
input connectors.
When connecting multiple projectors with the same signal, you can connect the signal as follows:
•Connect the source signal to Input A or B of the first projector.
•If the source signal is connected to Input A, connect Input/Output C to the Input of the following projector.
•If the source signal is connected to Input B, connect Input/Output D to the Input of the following projector.
•Continue in the same fashion until all projectors are connected.

Input & Communication
When connecting a 12G SDI source to the projector, you can only connect that source to input A.
Only Input A accepts 12G SDI signals . While it is technically possible to connect a 12G SDI source
to Input B and connect that source to another projector in line (using Input/Output D), this first
projector itself will not be able to process the 12G signal.
Image 3-2
Spotting the difference between the Mark I and Mark II Input boards
Since there will be projectors in the field that have the Mark I Input Board and others that have the Mark II
input board, it is important to know the difference between the two variants.
While there are several minor and barely noticeable differences between the two boards, there is one real
visual aid to tell the two variants apart. There are visual markings added on the Mark II Input board, marking
which connector supports 12G and which only supports 3G.
