IV. Lamp Installation and Removal
There are two types of lamps available for the TD-700: the Mercury Vapor
and the Quartz Halogen
A.
The Mercury Vapor Lamp
The low pressure mercury vapor lamp comes in various types depending
on the application of interest. The average life of a mercury vapor lamp is
8000 hours. The lamp can be checked without removing the lamp access
panel by viewing through the lamp view port. If the lamp access panel is
removed, the power to the mercury lamp will be cut off. This safety feature
will prevent the user from being exposed to U.V. light.
Do not defeat the
interlock switch. U.V. light may cause permanent damage to your
eyes.
Check the lamp view port if:
1.
The instrument is not responding, even though the unit is plugged in
and the power is on.
2.
The readings are very low, unstable, or drifting.
Note: After replacing a lamp, you must always recalibrate.
To replace the mercury vapor lamp:
1.
Unplug the instrument and remove the lamp access panel by pulling
on the two black quick-release latches on the rear panel of the instru-
ment.
2.
Before replacing a lamp, make sure the current lamp is fully seated in
both the upper and lower lamp sockets.
Be cautious when remov-
ing the lamp. It may be hot.
3.
To remove the lamp, grasp it carefully and turn it about 90 degrees
until the prongs line up with the slots on the lamp sockets. Slide it out.
NOTE: To avoid breaking the lamp when replacing it, make sure it is
fully seated! At the bottom lamp socket, a metal spring exerts pres-
sure against the lamp; be sure this spring is not preventing proper
seating before twisting lamp into place.
4.
To install a new lamp, line up the lamp prongs with the slots on the
lamp sockets, push the lamp in and turn it about 90 degrees so it is
firmly seated. Make sure both end caps are properly seated or the
lamp will not work!
5.
Replace the lamp access panel and push in the black quick-release
latches to snap the panel in place.
6.
Turn on the power. Check the lamp view port to ensure the lamp is lit.
Also make sure the fan is operating. If the fan is not operating, check
the connector plug.
