Replacing the halogen lamp
The heat lamp in IH is of the highest quality
and unless it is subjected to mechanical
strains in the form of vibrations and impact
it will last for a long time. The service life
is dependent on the ambient temperature
and how the heater is installed. When the
heater is installed freely and outdoors the
temperature will be low and the life of the
lamp can be expected to be in the region of
3000 hours.
The lamp must be replaced by an installer
or other skilled person.
- Disconnect the power supply.
- Wait until the unit is cold.
1. Remove the covers at both ends (four
screws).
2. Pull the grille to one side.
3. Remove both reflector ends (two screws).
4. Loosen the connections on the terminal
block.
5. Pull the lamp out of the lamp holders.
- Check that the replacement lamp has the
correct output and voltage.
- Fit the new lamp. Note do not touch the
lamp with your fingers, wear gloves or the
like.
- The protective tube must be refitted to the
cables, so that the cables are not damaged
when the grille is fitted.
- Reassemble the unit again.
See fig. 5.
Maintenance
The power supply to the unit must be
disconnected during all service, repair and
maintenance work.
The unit has no moving parts so the
maintenance requirement is small, but it
must be kept clean and free from dust and
dirt. If the reflector is not clean the thermal
radiation from the unit will decrease and the
heater will become hotter. A large amount of
dirt can cause overheating.
The surface of the reflector is sensitive and
must be cleaned with care. If the reflector
is dirty it must be cleaned or replaced by a
specialist.
