4.7 Installation of the xenon lamp in manual S/M Lamp House
W
ARNING
:
DO NOT PERMIT UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL TO PERFORM OR ATTEMPT ANY PHASE OF
XENON LAMP HANDLING OR SERVICE. ONLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED TECHNICAL SERVICE PERSONNEL
ARE ALLOWED TO HANDLE THE XENON LAMP.
W
ARNING
:
This procedure may only be performed by quali fi ed technical service personnel.
C
AUTION
:
Xenon compact arc lamps are 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 instructions. The bulb is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or
otherwise mishandled. Whenever the lamp house, containing a xenon lamp, has to be dismantled or whenever
the protective container or cloth has to be removed from the xenon lamp, authorized protective clothing MUST
be worn!
W
ARNING
:
Always wear face protection (full face shield) when handling xenon lamps.
W
ARNING
:
Always wear protective clothing (welder’s jacket) when handling xenon lamps.
W
ARNING
:
Always wear clean leather gloves with wrist protectors when handling xenon lamps.
This procedure assumes that the anode support assembly and the side cover are already removed from the
Lamp House due to the removal of the xenon lamp.
Necessary tools
• Torque wrench with a 2,5 mm Allen socket.
• Torque Allen key
• 1,5 mm Allen wrench.
• 22 mm open-end wrench.
• Torque wrench with a 22 mm hexagon socket.
• Torque wrench with a 5 mm Allen socket.
How to install the xenon lamp in the manual S/M Lamp House?
1. Install the lamp cathode adapter on the cathode of the xenon lamp. Note that some xenon lamps have a cathode pin with screw
threat (reference 10 image 4-27). Screw the adaptor on the anode pin as far as possible. Make sure that there is full contact
between the adapter
fl at surface and the lamp base. Fasten the set screw (reference 9 image 4-27) of the cathode adapter with
a torque of 2.5Nm (1.84 lbf*ft). Use a torque wrench with a 5mm Allen socket.
Caution: Ensure that the adaptor is clean. Periodically clean the adapter. Remove oxide from silver plated adaptor with
standard household metal polish (E.g. Brasso).
Warning: Install the cathode adapter prior to removing the protective container or protective cloth from the xenon lamp.
