SAFETY PROCEDURES
THE XENON BULB is highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature
of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance to
the manufacturer’s operating instructions. The bulb is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if
dropped or otherwise mishandled.
REFER BULB REPLACEMENT and service to
qualified personnel
with adequate protective
clothing (face shield, clean cotton gloves, welder’s jacket). For routine lamphouse service, observe the follow-
ing procedures:
1.
Allow the bulb to cool to room temperature before opening the lamphouse. Put on protective clothing
described above.
2.
De-energize the xenon power supply at the AC source before opening the lamphouse compartment.
3.
When possible, encase the bulb in its protective cover when cleaning or servicing the lamphouse inte-
rior. The bulb, when outside the lamphouse, must be encased in the cover.
4.
Clean the bulb after it has cooled to room temperature. Do not touch the quartz envelope of the bulb;
fingerprints will burn in and create hot spots which may shorten bulb life. If fingermarks are made,
they should be carefully removed with methyl alcohol and cotton prior to bulb operation.
5.
Never view an ignited xenon bulb directly. BLINDNESS OR PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE MAY
BE INCURRED.
6.
Use only xenon bulbs designated as OZONE FREE. When possible, vent the lamphouse exhaust to
outside atmosphere.
7.
Maintain the lamphouse blower(s) in good operating condition. Keep the blower inlet(s) clean for
unrestricted air flow.
8.
To insure maximum bulb life, operate the lamphouse blower and the exhaust system for
at least
ten
minutes after extinguishing the bulb.
9.
If returning a bulb for warranty adjustment, pack it in its original shipping container. Complete and
return all required warranty information.
10.
Dispose of expired bulbs that are beyond warranty in the following manner: Wrap the bulb tightly in
several layers of canvas or heavy cloth. Place it on a hard surface and shatter the envelope with a sharp
hammer blow. DO NOT place an unshattered bulb in an ordinary refuse container.
11.
DO NOT PERMIT UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL TO PERFORM OR ATTEMPT ANY PHASE
OF XENON BULB HANDLING OR SERVICE.
