Dymax EC-Series Flood Lamps User Guide
Operation
Turn the unit on by pressing on the Power Switch (located to the left on front of the Power Supply panel). The
switch will light up to indicate that the power is on.
NOTE
: While most Lamps typically require less than 30 seconds to ignite, a new Lamp will sometimes require
several minutes.
After the Lamp has ignited, allow five minutes for the Lamp to reach its maximum output intensity.
Lamp life is reduced approximately one hour each time it is started. To avoid premature Lamp deterioration,
leave the unit on through breaks, short shutdowns, and lunch hours.
These UV Flood Lamps are designed for continuous operation.
NOTE:
If the power is momentarily lost or the Lamp is inadvertently shut off, it must cool down before
restarting. This may take 5-10 minutes depending on ambient conditions. The Power Supply may be left
energized while the Lamp is cooling. The Lamp will re-light when it has cooled sufficiently.
Each time the Lamp is turned on, it should operate for at least five minutes to allow complete ionization of
elements inside the Lamp. Failure to do this may result in failure of the Lamp to restart. Refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual for more information.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Bulb Replacement Procedure
1.
Every new EC-Series Flood Lamp is supplied with a new 400 Watt Bulb. When the Bulb requires
replacement, the following procedure must be followed.
2.
Turn the Power Switch off and disconnect the Power Supply from the electrical power source. Allow
the Bulb to cool.
CAUTION:
The Bulb operates at temperatures exceeding 500°C. Touching the Bulb before
sufficient cool down time is allowed will cause severe burns. Always wear safety eye wear while
replacing Bulb.
3.
Hold the Lamp/Reflector Assembly Housing securely and loosen the thumbscrew on the
Lamp/Reflector Assembly Housing Bracket. Lift the housing off the Mounting Stand and place upside
down on a clean work surface.
4.
Remove the Glass UV Filter (if installed in the 2000-EC) by removing one Retaining Strap held by two
(2) 8-32 x 3/8" button-head screws with a 3/32 hex wrench. If the optional Glass UV Filter is installed,
loosen the two (2) 8-32 x 3/8" button-head screws in the remaining Retainer Strap so that the Glass
UV Filter can slide out.
5.
Reach into the Reflector and grasp the flat area of Bulb at either end.
