What to do in an emergency
Failure of a xenon lamp
Warning!
Lamp rupture (audible as a loud bang) may lead to jamming of the lamp
module and/or failure of the electronics modules.
•
Before opening the lamp housing, make sure that the system is moved
to a position where neither the patient nor the user is put at risk by fall-
ing items.
•
Do not continue using the system if the lamp module is jammed or the
illumination is no longer operational due to defective electronics mod-
ules. Inform our service department.
Caution:
Do not cover the ventilation grid! For example, drapes could be covering
the grid. This can lead to overheating of the lamp module and to lamp
failure.
Note:
Yellow indicator lamp (5) lights when the lamp has failed. It goes out again
after activation and ignition of the backup lamp.
Switching to the backup lamp
•
Turn off the suspension system at the power switch before switching
to the backup lamp.
The lamp module contains two xenon lamps. The second lamp is used as
a backup lamp which can be swung into the illumination beam path when
the first lamp fails.
If the first xenon lamp fails, you can open lamp module (2) as follows:

Press button (4). The lamp module is slightly ejected.
