shutter is normally designed so that no single component failure allows an unintended
exposure to the laser beam. The SmartShutter is intended for use in the controlling of
light in scientific and industrial applications. The SmartShutter was designed for high
performance and durability, but without certain features that would be desirable in a
safety shutter application.
ƒ
EXPLOSION: High internal pressure exists in any xenon arc lamp.
ƒ
HIGH VOLTAGE: High ignition voltages, which exist inside the cabinet, can be
lethal.
ƒ
WARNING: OZONE: The UV-enhanced (“full spectrum”) version of the xenon arc
bulb generates significant amounts of ozone, which is toxic. A Lambda-DG4/DG5 installed
with a full spectrum bulb must be connected to a ventilation or ozone-removing system
(also known as an “ozone eater”) for the evacuation of the ozone produced during
for further information. There are no ventilation requirements for the ozone-free bulb.
Avoiding Physical Injury and Equipment Damage while Replacing the Xenon Bulb
WARNING: Before removing the xenon arc lamp bulb housing assembly
from a Lambda LS or Lambda DG-4/5 system, make certain that the system is powered
down (single switch for the Lambda LS or both MAIN and LAMP switches for the Lambda
DG-4/5) and disconnect the power cord from the source. Wait at least half an hour for the
lamp to cool before removing the lamp bulb housing.
The original manufacturer of the xenon lamp and power supply used in the Lambda DG-4/5
provides the additional safety information on the following page. It is intended to amplify
the information given above.
