SAFETY PROCEDURES
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING XENON BULB
THE XENON BULB is highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature
of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance
to the manufacturer’s operat ing instructions.
THE BULB is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or otherwise mis-
handled. Breakage resulting from transport and handling is not covered by the bulb manufacturer’s warranty,
and it is strongly recommended to dismount the xenon bulb when transporting the spotlight.
REFER bulb replacement and service to QUALIFIED PERSONNEL with adequate protec-
tive clothing (face shield, clean cotton gloves, welder’s jacket). For routine lamphouse service, observe the
following rules:
1. Allow the bulb to cool to room temperature before opening the lamphouse. Put on protective clothing
described above.
2. De-energize the xenon power supply at the AC source before opening the lamphouse compartment.
3. When possible, encase the bulb in its protective cover when cleaning or servicing the lamphouse
interior. The bulb, when outside the lamphouse, must be encased in the cover.
4. Clean the bulb after it has cooled to room temperature. Do not touch the quartz envelope of the bulb;
fingerprints will burn in and create hot spots which may shorten bulb life. If fingermarks are made,
they should be care fully removed with methyl alcohol and cotton prior to bulb operation.
5. Never view an ignited bulb directly. BLINDNESS OR PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE MAY BE
INCURRED.
6. Use only xenon bulbs designated as OZONE FREE. When possible, vent the lamphouse exhaust to
outside atmosphere.
7. Maintain the lamphouse blowers in good operating condition. Keep the blower inlets and grilles clean
for unrestricted air flow.
8. To insure maximum bulb life, operate the lamphouse blowers for at least ten minutes after extinguish-
ing the bulb.
9. If returning a bulb for warranty adjustment, pack it in its original shipping container. Complete and
return all required warranty information.
