7. Start-up
Centering the Hg 50 W Mercury Lamp
• In the adjustment window, you see the direct
arc image and the mirror image, which in
most cases are not aligned.
• Focus the direct image with the collector
(41.6).
• Use the adjusting buttons on the rear side of
the lamp housing (41.2, 41.4) to pivot the arc’s
mirror image to the side or completely out of
the beam path. The lamp filament’s focused
image remains visible (Fig. 42).
• Use the adjusting buttons (41.1) and (41.5) to
place the direct arc image into right or left on
an imaginary center line of the centering
plane (Fig. 43).
• Then pivot the arc’s mirror image with the ad-
justing knobs (41.2 and 4) and focus it using
the reflector (41.3).
• Use the adjusting knobs (41.2 and 4) to orient
the mirror image symmetrically to the direct
image (Fig. 44).
• Defocus the image with the collector knob
(41.6) until the arc image and mirror image are
no longer recognizable and the image is ho-
mogeneously illuminated.
