1. Open both lamp holders by sliding them outwards and away from the center of the fixture, as
shown in PHOTO C.
Do not apply excessive force when installing lamp.
NOTE:
The bulb must be oriented so that the high voltage wire end/lead (the end near the getter,
which is the small square tab attached to the wire loop) is installed in the socket end closest to the
ballast as seen in
DIAGRAM A
.
2. Also be sure that the bulb is oriented so that the burner filament (the long wire that runs
along the full length of the arc tube) is positioned upward, facing the top inside surface of the
reflector.
3. Ensure that the wire ends/leads are not bent or frayed, as this will prevent proper installation.
Begin by installing the double-ended lamp within the lamp holders shown in PHOTOS A, B & C.
4. The wire ends/leads must be fully seated as shown (PHOTOS D & E) before sliding each socket
end closed.
5. After sliding the socket ends closed, be certain that there is no gap between the edge of the
sliding section and the part it meets at the end of the slide path. Once lamp is positioned
correctly, slide the lamp holder inward toward the center of the bulb to secure and lock the
lamp in place as shown in PHOTOS F & G.
PLEASE NOTE:
Do not force the lamp holders closed. This could cause damage to both the lamp and
lamp holders. Do not handle lamp with bare hands. Always wear surgical or cloth gloves whenever
possible when handling lamp to minimize fingerprints and oils left on the lamp. If the lamp needs
cleaning after installation, use a soft dry cotton cloth to wipe off fingerprints/skin oils.
