Figure 3.13. Recording the New Lamp Serial Number
NOTE:
Enter a serial number
only
if you have just installed a new lamp. This will
help ensure that lamp timer is not reset on an old lamp and that the number of hours
logged on the lamp will be accurate.
IMPORTANT
ALWAYS record the serial number of a NEW lamp.
When a new lamp is installed and its serial
number recorded by selecting “Change
Lamp” in the
Lamp
menu, the lamp timer
resets to “0” and begins logging time for
the new lamp. This tally appears in both
the
Lamp
menu (see right) and the
Status
menu.
To review the number of hours logged for
previous lamps, consult the
Lamp History
menu.
If the “Lamp Message” checkbox has been
enabled in the
Lamp
menu (recommended), an expiry message will appear upon
power-up when the lamp has reached its defined “Lamp Limit”. In addition, the
LED’s next to the built-in keypad will flash “LP” when lamp time has expired. The
lamp should be replaced.
The “Lamp Limit” setting should not exceed the expected lamp life, as an old lamp
becomes increasingly fragile and more prone to sudden failure. See also

and Filter Replacement
