1. Safety
To prevent personal injury
• Leave an exclusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector. See "Safety training to be provided by the installer", page
5.
• Isolate electrically before rep lacing the lamp or lamp house. Caution: hot lamp (house).
• Caution: high pressure lamp m ay explode if improperly handled. Refer servicing to qualified s ervice personnel.
• To prevent injury a nd physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the s ystem before inserting the lamp casing,
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 4 adult persons are needed to carry the projector.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVE R look into the lens! High luminance could result in dam age to the eye.
• Warning: extremely h igh brightness lamps: this projector uses ex tremely high brightness lamps. Never attempt to look
directly into the lens or at the lamp. Avoid close range reflection of the pr ojected image on any reflecting surface (s uch as glass,
metal, … ). Take into account the light beam Hazard Distance (HD) and never enter the R estriction Zone (RZ), as defined in
chapter "Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)", page 10).
• Before attempting to remove any of the projector’s covers, d isconnect the projector m ains terminals for removal of all power
from the projector.
• When required to remove all power from the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the projector ma
ins terminals.
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable c art, stand, or table. The product m ay fall, causing serious damage to it and
possible injury to the user.
• It is hazardous to operate w ithout lens or shield. Lenses , shields or ultra violet screens shall be changed if they have become
visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is im paired. For exam ple by cracks or deep scratches.
• Warning: protection from ultraviolet radiation: do not look d irectly in the light beam. The lamp contained in this product is
an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin
hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to ultravio let radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and
your employees by making them aware of the hazards and how to protect thems elves. Protecting the skin can be accomplished
by w earing tightly woven garm ents and glov es. Protecting the eyes from UV c an be accomplished by wearing safety glasses
that are designed to provide UV pr otection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be
considered when choosing protective eye wear.
• Exposure to UV radiation: som e medica tions are known to make individuals ext
ra sensitive to UV r adiation. The A mer ican
Conference of G ov ernmental Indus trial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommend s occupational UV exposure for an-8 hour day to be
less than 0,1 micro-watts per square centim eters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure
employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding the
se government guidelines. The exposer of this UV
radiation is allowed for only 1 hour per day for maintenance and service personnel.
WARNING: Never look into the exhaust output on the top of the projector. High lum inance an d UV radiation
could result in damage to the eye. The installation of an exh aust system on top of the p rojector is mandatory
before operating the projec tor.
To prevent fi re hazard
• Leave an exclusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector. See "Safety training to be provided by the installer", page
5.
• Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation.
•Keepflammable and combustible materials away from the projector at all times.
• Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of dire ct sun light.
• In the event of fire use sand, CO
2
or dry powder fire extinguishers. N ever u se water on an electrical fire.
• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path o
f the exhausted a ir or on the lam p hous e.
• 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 n ot be blocke d or covere d. The openings should never be bloc ked by placing the
projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector should ne ver be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This projector should not be plac ed in a built-in installation or enc losure unless p roper ventilation is provided.
• Projection rooms must be well ve ntilated o r c ooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is ne cessary to vent hot exhaust air from
console to the outside of the building. T he man datory exhaust s ystem m ust include a blower that maintain at least 10m
3
/min
(350 CF M ) when measured at the projector exhaust opening.
• Let the projector cool down completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector wh en storing.
• Heat sensitive materials should not be placed i
n the path of the exhausted air or on the lamp house.
