INSTALLATION

 

 

 
1.  Install Lamp (follow directions in the 

LAMP REPLACEMENT/INSTALLATION 

SECTION

, Page 9). 

 
2.  Connect power cord to rear of unit. 
 
3.  Connect light guide to bezel mount by pressing down on lock and inserting guide.  

Connect syringe adapter to connector on front panel. 

 
4.  Locate foot switch where desired. 
 
5.  Connect air supply to fitting on rear of unit. 
 
6.  Attach manifold bracket to right side of unit with screws provided. 
 
7. 

Mounting unit on a short pedestal (5” - 6” high” takes strain off light guide when used 
for hand assembly and reduces operator fatigue. 

 
8.  Plug into a grounded wall outlet. 
 
9.  Press power switch.  Switch will illuminate when power is on.  
 
10. Allow lamp to warm up for 4-5 minutes to obtain maximum light output. 

 

CAUTION

 

 
THIS IS AN ARC, NOT A FILAMENT LAMP.  ONCE IGNITED, IT MUST BE LEFT ON 
FOR A MINIMUM OF 5 MINUTES TO FULLY VAPORIZE ELEMENTS IN THE LAMP.  
IF NOT, THE LAMP MAY BE DIFFICULT TO RE-IGNITE.   
 

NOTE

 

 
The lamp must cool before it can be re-ignited.  Leave power switch on should the lamp 
extinguish.  This operates the cooling fan and allows the lamp to ignite when it has cooled 
sufficiently.  If the lamp fails to ignite, refer to Pages 11-13, 

TROUBLESHOOTING

.  Lamp life 

is reduced approximately one hour each time the lamp is switched on and off.  Avoid repeated 
cycles by leaving unit on through breaks. 
 
DURING THE OPERATION OF THE UNIT, THE LAMP WILL REMAIN ON DURING ALL 
SHUTTER SEQUENCES.  THE SHUTTER IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE WHICH 
BLOCKS THE TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT DURING “OFF” SHUTTER DURATION.
