SAFETY PROCEDURES
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING XENON BULB
THE XENON BULB is highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature
of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance to
the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
THE BULB is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or otherwise mis-
handled. Breakage resulting from transport and handling is not covered by the bulb manufacturer’s warrranty,
and it is strongly recommended to dismaount the xenon bulb when transporting the spotlight.
REFER bulb replacement and service to QUALIFIED PERSONNEL with adequate protective
clothing (face shield, clean cotton gloves, welder’s jacket). For routine lamphouse service, observe the follow-
ing rules:
1.
Allow the bulb to cool to room temperature before opening the lamphouse. Put on protective clothing
described above.
2.
De-energize the xenon power supply at the AC source before opening the lamphouse compartment.
3.
When possible, encase the bulb in its protective cover when cleaning or servicing the lamphouse inte-
rior. The bulb, when outside the lamphouse, must be encased in the cover.
4.
Clean the bulb after it has cooled to room temperature. Do not touch the quartz envelope of the bulb;
fingerprints will burn in and create hot spots which may shorten bulb life. If fingermarks are made,
they should be carefully removed with methyl alcohol and cotton prior to bulb operation.
5.
Never view an ignited bulb directly. BLINDNESS OR PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE MAY BE
INCURRED.
6.
Use only xenon bulbs designated as OZONE FREE. When possible, vent the lamphouse exhaust to
outside atmosphere.
7.
Maintain the lamphouse blower in good operating condition. Keep the blower inlet clean for unre-
stricted air flow.
8.
To insure maximum bulb life, operate the lamphouse blower and the exhaust system for at least ten
minutes after extinguishing the bulb.
9.
If returning a bulb for warranty adjustment, pack it in its original shipping container. Complete and
return all required warranty information.
