Caution!
Light sources pose a potential irradiation
risk (glare, UV-radiation, IR-radiation).
Therefore, lamps have to be operated in
closed housings.
During assembly, always unplug the power
supply unit of the 106 z lamp housing from its
socket.
During assembly work on xenon burners, al-
ways wear the supplied protective gloves
and face protection (Fig. 17) (risk of explosion).
Never touch the glass parts of the burner
with bare hands.
Never look directly into the beam path
(blinding hazard).
This 106 z lamp housing is used with various gas
discharge lamps.
Caution!
Make sure to follow the instructions and
safety notes of the lamp supplier.
Before changing lamps allow at least 30 min-
utes for cooling down!
