1 Introduction
1.1 Thank you
Thank you for purchasing this projector.
When referring to the term CT series in this document the content is applicable for the
following Barco products:
• CTHD-61B (1920x1080)
• CTWU-61B (1920x1200)
• CTWQ-51B (2560x1600)
• CTPN-41B (2560x1080)
The CT series projectors set an industry benchmark for projectors in its size and performance
category. If realism and reliability are key criteria this high resolution DLP-technology
projector with high performance optics and lenses, updated signal processing and built-
in frame-lock synchronisation, makes it the ideal projector for multi-channel visualization
and simulation applications. In addition to the excellent image performance it is capable of
showing Active Stereo 3D.
1.2 Training
To get the best performance out of the projector as well as the system, training at Barco is
highly advised, in addition to studying this user guide. Various courses are available. At the
University, skilled trainers will teach you basic projector use as well as more advanced set-up
and configuration across multiple application areas. Go to www.barco.com for easy access
to more information.
1.3 Symbols used in this documentation

2 Safety and compliance
2.1 General safety considerations
• Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement
cables. Using other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage to
the unit.
• Always use 3-prong (grounded) power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit.
Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
For the grounding of the coax connection, equal ground potential must be ensured. To
be installed by trained personnel.
• Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to
qualified personnel only. Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of
the set.
• Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.
• Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not re-
moved, 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.
• Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light
may permanently damage sight.
• Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved
ceiling-mount.
• Do not drop the projector.
• Always operate the projector according to the rotation guidelines. Operating the unit in
other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting
in malfunctioning.
• Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never
cover the unit in any way while running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings
to avoid overheating.
• Minimum safety distance to any side of the unit is 50cm / 20” in any direction (15 cm/ 6”
to ceiling).
• Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat
nearer than 50cm / 20” to the exhaust vent.
• The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
• Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this
may result in overheating and malfunctioning.
• 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 malfunc-
tion and permanent damage of the unit.
• In order to prevent damage to the projector caused by over-voltages (e.g. lightning), we
recommend connection to a line (mains) circuit which has over voltage protection.
• Allow lamp to cool down for at least 60 minutes before changing.
USE ONLY ORIGINAL LAMPS.
• Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure. It is recom-
mended that the power cable connector (projector-end) or the mains power socket is
accessible whilst the product is in use to enable mains power to be disconnected or
switched off when connecting source devices. This should be considered during product
installation.

2.2 Information/Warning - Potential Mercury Vapour Health Issues
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely
bright image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in
cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting,
contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below
the limits of danger set by the authorities. It is however very important that lamps containing
mercury are treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is operating under high-pres-
sure. Even if the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the probability of
lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of mercury vapour may
be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases when the lamp reaches
its expected lifetime. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is replaced when the
specified lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If
lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant
women in particular should leave the room.
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people
under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by
the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”, part of the United States
Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and kidneys are sensitive to the
effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposure.
Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapour can cause conditions such as
lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful
effects of metallic mercury to the nervous system.
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual
conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to
cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Recycle properly; do not dispose of in
ordinary waste!
2.3 FCC compliance
FCC regulations state that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible manufacturer could void your authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digi-
tal device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
CANADA
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. / Cet appareil numérique
de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB- 003 du Canada.
