Lamp Removal and Examination
The TIGER Select is a sensitive detector. Internal components must be handled
with clean hands and clean tools. The TIGER Select Lamp is fragile. Handle with
great care. Never touch the window and do not drop.
Following removal of the Electrode Stack as described previously, the Lamp may now be removed.
Carefully remove the Lamp:
•
If the Lamp is held in the Electrode Stack, carefully pull it out of the O-ring around the well in
the underside of the Electrode Stack.
•
If the Lamp is sitting in the sensor body - the Lamp can be gripped and lifted out or the
sensor body can be inverted and the Lamp tipped out.
Inspection of the Lamp may reveal a layer of contamination on the detection window. This appears
as a ‘blue hue.’
To check for this, hold the Lamp in front of a light source and look across the window
surface at an angle.
If necessary clean the Lamp.

Clean the window using the PID Lamp Cleaning Kit supplied.
