Xenon Flash Lamp Assembly Replacement
The typical life span of the Xenon Flash Lamp is approximately 18–24
months of continuous operation. However, the Xenon Flash Lamp can
exhibit signs of degradation after 12–15 months. When the Xenon Flash
Lamp requires replacement, the entire assembly (Figure 5-3) is replaced.
See Figure 5-1 for the location of this assembly in the Electronics Enclo-
sure.
Refer to “Optical Bench Assembly Spare Parts” in Chapter 6 for reor-
dering part numbers.
The glass Xenon Flash Lamp is under high internal pressure which
could result in flying glass fragments if ruptured. Do not subject the
lamp to drop impact, vibration, or shock.
While handling a flash lamp, always wear protective devices (face
mask, clothing) to prevent possible injury, especially to hand and face
areas.
When handling the flash lamp, never touch the glass bulb of the lamp
with bare hands. Dust or fingerprints on the glass bulb may greatly
reduce transmittance in the ultraviolet range.
If the glass bulb must be cleaned, wipe it using a soft, lint-free cloth
moistened with high-quality alcohol.
