Warning!
The xenon lamp has a limited service life of 500 h.
If used beyond its maximum service life, the xenon lamp may explode.
Change the xenon lamp in good time.
The suspension system is equipped with a xenon illumination system for
fiber illumination. The xenon lamp generates light whose spectrum re-
sembles that of natural daylight. Regardless of the brightness setting, the
color temperature of the light always remains the same. Normal daylight
film without any additional conversion filters can therefore be used for
photographic documentation. The lamp housing contains two xenon
lamps. The second lamp is used as a backup lamp which must be swung
into the illumination beam path should the first lamp fail.
Ventilation grid
Do not cover the ventilation grid! For example, drapes could be covering
the grid. This can lead to overheating of the lamp modules and to lamp
failure.

Manual activation of the backup lamp
When the xenon lamp fails, open the lamp module as follows:
Press button (5). The lamp module is slightly ejected. Pull out the lamp
module as far as it will go. Turn knob (2) through 180° until it snaps in.
This moves the backup lamp into the illumination beam path. Push the
lamp module all the way back into the lamp housing.
Note:
When inserting a new lamp module, make sure that knob (2) is set to
"1“. If the first lamp fails, you switch to the second lamp in logical se-
quence.
