4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1) Installing or replacing the lamp

Because of the nature of the extreme heat associated with the Platinum 17RA lamp
and the tight nature of the internal optical system it is imperative that the lamp be
replaced every 1500 hours. This is done to protect the internal optical system as
well as prevent accidental lamp explosion, which could lead to hot glass particles
falling from the fixture. Failure to change the lamp within 300 hours of operation
will result in automatic shut down of the fixture’s electronics.
At 1500 hours the display will begin to flash “Replace The Lamp” and the lamp
will flicker for the first five minutes of operation. At this point the lamp has
reached the maximum rated life and should be replaced immediately.After the
lamp has flickered for about five minutes it should strike normally allowing the
fixture to be used temporarily until a replacement lamp can be installed. The
fixture will continue to operate for an additional 300 hours, however the
“Replace the Lamp” warning will continue to flash in the display. Keep in mind
that the flicker protection circuitry will only work for about 300 hours (lamp clock
life of 1500-1800 hours). After 1800 hours the fixture will no longer respond to
DMX commands and immediately enter a hibernation mode that will electronically
discontinue all fixture functionality with the exception of a few menu commands.
The fixture will continue to enter hibernation mode until the lamp is replaced and
the lamp clock has been reset.
Before replacing the lamp let the lamp cool down, because during operation, the lamp can
reach very high temperature.
During the installation of halogen lamps do not touch the glass bulbs bare handed. Always use a
cloth to handle the lamps during insertion and removal.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They generate higher temperatures than which the
device was designed for.
