This projector has been classified as Risk Group 3 according to the IEC 62471:2006 and IEC 624715:2015 standard due to possible hazardous optical and thermal radiation being emitted.
Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in death or serious injury.
• PERMANENT/TEMPORARY BLINDNESS HAZARD! No direct exposure to the beam must be
permitted.
• PERMANENT/TEMPORARY BLINDNESS HAZARD! Operators must control access to the beam
within the hazard distance or install the product preventing potential exposure of the spectators'
eyes from being in the hazard distance. Hazard zone shall be no lower than 3.0 meters above the
floor. In addition, horizontal clearance to the hazard zone shall be a minimum 2.5 meters.
• EXTREME BRIGHTNESS! Do not place reflective objects in the product light path.
The following diagram shows the zones for optical and skin hazard distances:
• A— Hazard zone. The region of space where the projection light from the laser illuminated
projector is above emission limits for Risk Group 2. The light intensity may cause eye damage
after a momentary or brief exposure (before a person can avert his or her eyes away from the
light source). The light may cause skin burns to occur.
• B—Hazard distance. Operators must control access to the beam within the hazard distance or
install the product preventing potential exposure of the spectators' eyes from being in the
hazard distance.
• C—No access zone. Horizontal clearance of the no access zone shall be a minimum of 2.5
meters.

For installations in the United States
The following must be in place for laser-illuminated projector installations in the United States:
• Any human access to the hazard zone, if applicable, must be restricted by barriers to enforce
the no access zone.
• Permanent show installations containing Risk Group 3 laser-illuminated projectors must meet
the following conditions:
• Installed by Christie or by Christie-authorized and trained installers. Refer to the Laser
Illuminated Projector-Class 1 Risk Group 3 Installation training (Course code: CF- LIPI-
01) on the http://www.christieuniversity.com site.
• Performed according to instructions provided by Christie.
• Ensure the projection system is securely mounted or immobilized to prevent unintended
movement or misalignment of the projections.
• Temporary show installations containing Risk Group 3 laser-illuminated projectors may be
installed by Christie or sold or leased only to valid laser light show variance holders (laser light
show manufacturers) for image projection applications. Such manufacturers may currently hold
a valid variance for production of Class IIIb and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporation of
the Risk Group 3 laser-illuminated projectors into their shows. This requirement applies also to
dealers and distributors of these laser-illuminated projectors.
• The Christie Laser Projection System Installation Checklist must be fully completed after the
installation and sent to lasercompliance@christiedigital.com. A copy can remain on-site. This
checklist can be found as a separate document in the accessory box with the manual.
• If installing in the US states of Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Massachusetts, go to

How the projector works
The HS series D16-20 projector accepts a variety of input signals for a wide range of commercial
projection applications.
Designed with solid-state illumination light sources and phosphor technology, the red, green and
blue color elements are segmented through a phosphor wheel and then modulated by one Digital
Micromirror Device (DMD) panel responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green, and
blue color information. As these digital streams flow from the source, light from the responding on
pixels of the DMD panel is reflected, converged, and then projected to the screen through
projection lenses, where all pixel reflections are superimposed in sharp full-color images.
