The lamp in this fixture is not common and requires specific installation procedures.
Please see the diagram, along with the set of instructions, below for further
explanation.
1. Disconnect power from the fixture and allow it to cool.
2. Lock the head of the fixture.
3. Unscrew the two ¼ - turn screws (X & Y) to open the rear lamp cover (this will
remain attached via a rotating arm).
4. If you are replacing a lamp, you will need to remove the old lamp from the
fixture. Using your thumb and forefinger, grasp the ceramic base of the lamp and
turn it 45° counterclockwise to the unlocked position. Then, pull it straight out of
the fixture, being careful not to touch the sides of the reflector or housing.
5. The lamp base has two metal contacts, one narrow and one wide, which fit into
the corresponding narrow and wide slots in the lamp holder. Align the new lamp
with these slots in the lamp holder, and slide the lamp into the fixture until the
contacts are fully inserted. Using your thumb and forefinger, grasp the ceramic
base of the lamp and turn it 45° clockwise to the locked position.
6. Close the rear lamp cover, and tighten the two ¼ - turn screws (X & Y).
7. After installing a new lamp, reset the lamp hour counter (see "Menu Map" for the
menu option to perform this reset).
You should use cotton or latex gloves to avoid from touching the lamp
envelope with your bare hands.
Locked
To ensure the longest and most efficient use of the lamp, always wait between 10~15
min before re-applying power after a shutdown. Failure to do so could result in premature
aging of the lamp and failure of the electronics that drive it.
Never turn off the power to the unit while the lamp is striking. Always wait 15 min after
powering on the fixture before powering it down. Turning off the lamp during striking may
permanently damage the lamp.
