4.C. UV Bulb Installation
To prevent damage to the UV bulb, wear gloves—do not touch the bulb with bare hands. Oil from your hands can
compromise the bulb and shorten its life span. Remove the UV bulb from the box and wrapping. The bulb may
rattle if shaken; this is normal. Locate the UV lamp socket, which is on the ceiling of the instrument just inside the
door. Slide the bulb into the socket (see Figure 10). Twist the bulb a quarter turn until it is firmly in place. The UV
bulb has an average life of 3,000 hours. The Maxwell
®
16 MDx Instrument will warn you when the accumulated
UV bulb usage reaches 2,950 hours, and we recommend that you replace the bulb at that point. Replacement
bulbs can be purchased from Promega (Cat.# SP1080).
To replace the bulb, locate the old bulb in the UV lamp holder on the ceiling of the instrument just inside the door
(see Figure 11). Wear gloves—do not touch the bulb with your bare hands. Twist the bulb a quarter turn until it
can slide out. Place the new bulb into UV lamp socket and twist a quarter turn until it is firmly in place.
Your Maxwell
®
16 MDx Instrument is now ready for operation.
