Xenon illumination system
The stand is equipped with a xenon illumination system for fiber illumina-
tion. The xenon lamp generates light whose spectrum resembles that of
natural daylight. Regardless of the brightness setting, the color tempera-
ture of the light always remains the same. Normal daylight film without any
additional conversion filters can therefore be used for photographic doc-
umentation. The lamp housing contains two xenon lamps. The second
lamp is used as a backup lamp which has to be swung into the illumination
beam path when the first lamp fails.
Ventilation grid
Do not cover the ventilation grid! Make sure that drapes do not cover the
grid. This can lead to overheating of the lamp modules and to lamp failure.

module all the way. 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.
