The SLC OPTIMIZER reflector is designed to give maximum performance (light output)
when the Xenon lamp has reached the optimum operating temperature for arc size and
stability (two to three minutes). Ensure that the DC current setting to the lamp is correct and
the lamp temperature has stabilized before making final autofocus adjustment.
WARNING
Do not allow the current to exceed the rated maximum lamp current or
be below 10% of that value.

It is very important that all electrical connections are mechanically secure or tight. The DC
connections are especially important due to their relatively high current and low voltage. A
loose lamp connection causes overheating of the lamp and premature failure. A periodic
inspection should be made regularly, at least every 60 days.

Proper airflow for cooling the Xenon lamp is very important to sustain lamp life. Clean
blower wheels and oil blower motors at least every six months as described in Section 7.3.1.
Be careful not to disturb or remove the balance weights on the blower wheel while cleaning.

RBA)
The remote lamp adjustment control unit is equipped with a six-foot umbilical cord. This
cord enables the operator to stand at the viewport while operating the lamp adjustments to
attain maximum screen illumination. The RBA is a plug-in unit, and can be moved between
SLC lamphouses.
The lamp autofocus switch must be in the OFF position to operate the remote
lamp adjustment unit.
