High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance

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 HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed.
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 a 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 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.

- TH Theater
- RZ Restriction Zone in the theater

- LRZ Length Restriction Zone in the theater
- H Height between surface floor and the light beam
- SH Separation Height

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.
The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol. $BARCO G50 DLP Projector $2$$

USA market
For LIPs (Laser Illuminated Projectors) installed in the USA market other restriction zone conditions apply. LIPs for installation in restrained environment (cinema theaters, business rooms, class rooms, museums …) shall be installed at height vertically above the floor such that the bottom plane of the hazard distance zone shall be no lower than 2.5 meters above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 1 meter. Alternatively, in case the height of the separation barrier for the horizontal clearance is at least 1 meter high then the horizontal clearance (SW) can be reduced to:

0 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.5 meter.
0.1 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.4 meter.
0.6 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.2 meter.

LIPs for installations in unrestrained environment (concerts, …) shall be installed at a height vertically above the floor such that the bottom plane of the Hazard distance Zone shall be no lower than 3 meters above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 2.5 meters. Any human 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.

The LIP shall be installed by Barco or by a trained and Barco-authorized installer or shall only be transferred to laser light show variance holders. This is applicable for dealers and distributors since they may need to install the LIP (demo install) and/or they transfer (sell, rent, lease) the LIP. Dealers and distributors shall preserve sales and installation records for a period of 5 years. Variance holders may currently hold a variance for production of Class IIIB and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporating RG3 LIPs. Laser light show variance for RG3 LIPs can be requested by mailing the application to RadHealthCustomerService@fda.hhs.gov.

The installation checklist for laser illuminated RG3 projectors must be fully completed after the installation. The installation checklist can be downloaded from the Barco website. The installer shall preserve the checklist for a period of 5 years. A copy can remain on-site. 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.

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). $BARCO G50 DLP Projector $3$$

RA Restricted Access location (enclosed projection area).
PR Projector.
TH Theater (observation area).
RZ Restriction Zone.
PD Projection Distance.
SW Separation Width. Must be minimum 1 meter.

For this type of setup 3 different HD shall be considered:

HD as discussed in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, relevant for intrabeam exposure.
HDreflection: the distance that has to be kept restrictive related to the reflected light from the rear projection screen.
HDdiffuse: the relevant distance to be considered while observing the diffuse surface of the rear projection screen.

As described in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, it is mandatory to create a restricted zone within the beam areas closer than any HD. In the enclosed projection area the combination of two restricted zones are relevant: The restricted zone of the projected beam toward the screen; taking into account 1 meter Separation Width (SW) from the beam onward. Combined with the restricted zone related to the rear reflection from the screen (HDreflection); also taking into account a 1 meter lateral separation. The HDreflection distance equals 25% of the difference between the determined HD distance and the projection distance to the rear projection screen. To determine the HD distance for the used lens and projector model see chapter “General considerations”. HDreflection = 25% (HD – PD) The light emitted from the screen within the observation shall never exceed the RG2 exposure limit, determined at 10 cm. The HDdiffuse can be neglected if the measured light at the screen surface is below 5000 cd/m² or 15000 LUX.

Important safety instructions

To prevent the risk of electrical shock

This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source.
This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable. If none of the supplied power cables are the correct one, consult your dealer. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the device. For a replacement power cord, contact your dealer.
Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord. Replace the cord.
Do not operate the projector if the projector has been dropped or damaged until it has been examined and approved for operation by a qualified service technician. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Do not expose this projector to rain or moisture.
Do not immerse or expose this projector in water or other liquids.
Do not spill liquid of any kind on this projector.
Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.
Do not disassemble this projector, always take it to an authorized trained service person when service or repair work is required.
Do not use an accessory attachment which is not recommended by the manufacturer.
Lightning – For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the device due to lightning and AC power-line surges.

To prevent personal injury

To prevent injury 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 injury, take note of the weight of the projector.
To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens! High luminance could result in damage to the eye.
Warning: extremely high brightness laser: This projector uses extremely high brightness laser. Never attempt to look directly into the lens or at the laser.
The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. ceiling 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.
Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and possible injury to the user.
High brightness warning: The projector light source must be switched off when no projection lens is installed. It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Always switch the output light off when replacing a lens. Lenses or shields shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
When installing an interchangeable lens with a throw ratio that makes the projector become an RG3 unit, (See chapter “Available lenses” in the installation manual), refer to chapter “Risk Group 3 Safety”, for information regarding precautions.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY means installation can only be carried out by Barco AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL familiar with potential hazards associated with high intensity light beams.
Warning: High brightness projector: This projector embeds 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 diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light. Nevertheless, when RG3, 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. When RG3, 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”.
Always switch off the projector and disconnect from the mains power supply before attempting to remove any of the projector covers or access parts inside the projector.
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous.
For correct physical installation, refer to the Installation manual.
Only place the projector on a stable surface or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-mount.
Exposure to UV radiation: Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an-8 hour day to be less than 0,1 microwatts per square centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines. The exposer of this UV radiation is allowed for only 1 hour per day for maintenance and service persons.

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 on the lens side must be at least 100 cm (39.4”). The exclusion zone on all other projector sides must be not less than 50 cm (19.7”).
Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation.
Keep flammable 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 direct sun light.
Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO2 or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never 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.
Let the projector cool down completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.

To prevent projector damage

Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface of the projection lens.
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 and unimpeded evacuation of the hot air from its cooling system.
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) requirements, it should always be operated with all of its 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.
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.
Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector.
Do not use this equipment near water.
Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty.
Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices™ 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.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet 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. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.
Rated operating ambient temperature: ta= 5 °C (41 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F).
Rated operating humidity: 10% RH to 85% RH (non-condensing).
Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications as this may result in overheating and malfunction.
Do not operate the projector in environments with excessive dust. The projector must be installed in environments where the dust conditions are as low as expected in a standard office environment. The environment should be clean and free from hostile airborne particles which may have harmful effects on the internal parts of the projector (e.g., airborne contaminants produced by smoke or snow machines, contaminants derived from chemical products such as e.g., disinfectants, conducting types of dust, excessive dust).
If the specified environmental conditions cannot be guaranteed (e.g., construction works), the projector must be removed, or switched off and fully protected until the requirements are fulfilled.
Contact Barco in case uncertainty exist on the environmental conditions linked to air contamination prior to install and operate the projector.
Sufficient free space around the projector is critical for proper air circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimensions shown in Image 1– 4 indicate the minimum space required.
For ceiling mounted installations, make sure to leave a minimum space as shown in Image 1–4 between the ceiling mount and the bottom intake vents of the projector. $BARCO G50 DLP Projector $4$$
