BULB INSTALLATION
OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES when working around the xenon bulb. Open the
lamphouse access cover by releasing the clasps and swinging the cover up to its stop. Loosen the (5) quarter-
turn fasteners and remove the two bulb compartment side covers. Verify that the lamphouse is fitted with the
correct support collet appropriate to the desired bulb wattage. The bulb leads and contact clamps are tied down
for shipping. Free the clamps and slide the anode clamp over the brass socket of the rear support collet.
REMOVE THE PLASTIC PROTECTIVE COVER from the xenon bulb only if necessary.
Handle the bulb by the metal end caps only.
Dismount the anode lead from the (+) end cap of the bulb if
attached. Grasp the bulb by the metal anode (+) end cap
only when unscrewing the lead from the bulb; DO
NOT hold the bulb at the cathode (-) end cap when removing the anode lead.
INSERT THE BULB into the lamphouse, passing the anode (+) end cap through the center
hole of the reflector. Take care not to bump or scratch the surface of the reflector. Insert the anode (+) pin into
the rear support collet and contact clamp. Rest the cathode (-) end cap in the front bulb support yoke. Seat
the anode (+) pin into the rear support collet as far as possible for correct focus travel. Securely tighten the
socket head clamping screw in the anode contact.
REST THE CATHODE END CAP in the “
V
” of the bulb yoke. Dress the bulb lead directly in
front of the bulb support yoke to minimize the projected shadow, but do not allow it to touch grounded metal
lamphouse components; the bulb yoke and the support casting are insulated from ground. Slide the cathode
contact clamp over the cathode (-) pin and securely tighten the clamping screw.
REMOVE THE PLASTIC COVER from the bulb. Record the bulb serial number, date, and
lamphouse hours on the Xenon Bulb Record on the inside back cover of this manual. Replace the bulb enclo-
sure covers and secure the quarter-turn fasteners. Use of these covers maximizes bulb cooling for long life.
