Frequently Asked Questions - R9829997 Barco

What is the purpose of the Barco R9829997 lens safety cable?

The Barco R9829997 lens safety cable is designed to secure the projector lens when the projector is mounted above people. It prevents the lens from falling in case of accidental release, especially for heavy lenses weighing over 11 kg.

When should the safety cable be used?

The safety cable must be used whenever the projector is installed above people, such as in events or installations. It is mandatory for all setups where the lens could pose a risk if detached.

Which projector models are compatible with this safety cable?

The safety cable is compatible with Barco UDX, UDM, XDL, HDX, HDF, and RLM series projectors and their variants. Specific mounting procedures are provided for each projector type in the manual.

How do I choose the correct configuration (A, B, or C)?

Configuration A is for bottom handle/rigging bar, Configuration B for top handle/rigging bar or hoisting eye, and Configuration C for lenses with very short barrels. Refer to the manual's configuration table (section 1.1) to determine the correct setup based on your projector and lens.

What's included in the R9829997 kit?

The kit includes a 750 mm long, 3 mm diameter steel safety cable, a cable clamp M4, a shackle 7x70 mm, and 20 cable clips (16x16 mm, 4 mm opening).

How do I mount the safety cable on a standard lens?

For configurations A and B, attach four cable clips to the lens as illustrated, snap the cable loop into a clip, wrap the cable counterclockwise around the lens, clip it into all clips, and secure with a U-bolt on the lens holder. Then attach the shackle to the free loop end.

How do I mount the safety cable on a short barrel lens (Configuration C)?

For short barrel lenses, attach two cable clips on each side of the lens and two extra clips on the motor block. Carefully slide the cable through the clips, form a loop, and secure with a U-bolt. The result should look like the example in Image 1-10.

How do I install the lens with safety cable on UDX/UDM projectors?

First install the lens using the lens locking mechanism. Then lead the cable end with the shackle around the designated carrying handle or rigging frame bar (bottom for Config A, top for Config B). Snap the shackle to the straight part of the cable and secure it by screwing the safety ring over the open end.

How do I install on XDL projectors?

Remove transport protection bars, mount the XDL safety cable bracket using a 10 mm Allen wrench, install the lens, then snap the shackle through the fixation ring of the bracket and secure the shackle.

Why was the existing safety cable replaced?

The existing safety cable was designed for lenses up to 7 kg. New heavier lenses like the TLD+ Ultra 0.8–1.16 weigh over 11 kg, requiring a stronger cable. The R9829997 kit provides a higher capacity and a new mounting method to safely handle all available lenses.

When to use the safety cable?

The lens safety cable must be used in any circumstance where the projector is mounted above people. [to secure the mounted lens in the lens holder.

Why replace the existing safety cable?

Up until recently, all lenses for event projectors weighed 7 kg or less. The lens safety cable included with events projector was able to secure every single lens available in the Barco gamma.

Due to the release of the TLD+ Ultra 0.8–1.16 lens, there are now lenses available that weigh more than 11 kg, which this safety cable can no longer support in a safe fashion.

In order to safely handle all lenses that are available, a new safety cable must be used, which is install the lens in a new fashion.

Content of the kit

• Safety Cable (750 mm, ∅3 mm)
- Cable clamp M4
- Shackle 7x70 mm

1.1 Configuration differences

Configuration differences

There are three different configurations for the safety cable. The configuration used depends on the used carrying handle or hoisting eye and on the length of lens used.

Configuration A applies to the following setups:

• All UDX projectors and variants, when connecting to the bottom bar of the rigging frame.
• All UDM projectors and variants, when connecting to the bottom bar of the rigging frame.
  • All XDL projectors and variants.
• All HDX projectors and variants, when connecting to the bottom carrying handle.
• All HDF projectors and variants, when connecting to the bottom carrying handle.
• All RLM projectors

Configuration B applies to the following setups:

• All UDX projectors and variants, when connecting to the upper bar of the rigging frame.
• All UDM projectors and variants, when connecting to the upper bar of the rigging frame.
• All HDX projectors and variants, when connecting to the top carrying handle.
• All HDF projectors and variants, when connecting to the HDF hoisting eye.
  • All RLM projectors

Configuration C applies to all projectors, but is only applicable for lenses with a very short barrel.

1.2 Mounting the safety cable to the lens

CAUTION: This procedure is only applicable for configurations A & B. For configuration C, see "Mounting the safety cable to a short barrel lens", page 8.

How to mount the cable

1. Paste four cable clips on the lens as illustrated (reference 1). Orient the open side of the clips towards the front of the lens.

Image 1-2

Image 1-3

1. Snap the first loop end of the safety cable into one of the following clips and let the loop end point downwards.

2. Configuration A: Use the upper clip on the side of the cable bundle (reference 2, Image 1-2).

3. Configuration B: Use the upper clip on the non-wired side (reference 2, Image 1-3).

4. Slide the rest of the cable around the lens counterclockwise. Click the cable into every clip it passes in this loop.

Note: Make sure the cable passes between the lens and the cable bundle.

1. Slide the cable through the loop end at the beginning of the cable.
