Lamp Replacement Instructions
WARNING: LAMPS ARE FILLED TO VERY HIGH PRESSURES, OFTEN GREATER THAN 200 PSI AT ROOM
TEMPERATURE. EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN. EXTREME CARE MUST ALWAYS BE EXERCISED
WHEN HANDLING LAMPS. EXPLOSION HAZARDS ARE POSSIBLE (MOST HAPPEN DURING OPERATION,
WHEN THE PRESSURE IS HIGHER). INTERNAL LAMP PRESSURES CAN DOUBLE WHEN THE LIGHT IS IN
USE AND GREATLY EXCEED THAT IF IMPROPERLY COOLED. ONLY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN
MAY REPLACE THE SYSTEM LAMP. NEVER POINT THE WINDOW OF THE LAMP TO UNPROTECTED TISSUE.
Symptoms indicating need for replacement are:
1. Low intensity on system light meter.
2. Lamp fails while in use or does not turn on.
To Remove the Old Lamp
1. Turn unit off and unplug the power cord from its power source.
2. Wait for the unit and the lamp to cool.
WARNING: Lamp internal pressure is much higher when hot. Improper cooling increases risk of explosion.
3. Unscrew thumbscrews to remove the lamp access plate.
4. Grasp lamp and slide towards you to remove from light source. WARNING: Do not drop - Lamp can explode!
5. Unplug the lamp from the 2-pin lamp socket.
To Insert New Lamp
1. Orient the lamp facing forward in the lamp guides on the chassis.
2. Push toward the top of the unit until the lamp slides securely onto the lamp pins.
3. Replace the lamp access plate and tighten thumbscrews.
NOTE: Make sure the access plate fits correctly in the cutout provided. All corners should be even with the
surrounding surfaces. If the access plate is misaligned, the unit may not receive AC power.
To Dispose of Old Lamp (Steps 1 and 2 must be performed by qualified service technicians) CeraLux lamps
contain no hazardous materials such as mercury or rare earth elements. Lamps may be disposed of safely once the
internal pressure of xenon is released.
To release internal pressure, do the following:
1. Wear safety glasses.
2. Firmly grasp the lamp and cut or twist the pinch off seal at the rear of the lamp. The gas will be heard escaping.
3. Afterwards, the lamp may be disposed in normal trash.

DenMat can also give instructions regarding shipping the lamp back to DenMat and will dispose of the lamp
properly.
