PHILIPS MSD Platinum 16R 330W
Because of its high internal pressure, there is a risk that the Discharge lamp can explode
—
during operation. The lamp emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and
skin. The high luminance of the arc can cause severe damage to the retina if you take a
close look at the lamp when turned on.
To protect the lamp, always turn off the lamp first (via control panel or DMX controller)
—
and let the unit run for at least five minutes to cool down before switching off the mains
supply. Never handle the lamp or luminary when it is hot.
Do not touch the lamp with bare fingers. If this happens, clean the lamp with denatured
—
alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
The lamp generates UV radiation. Never operate the lamp without appropriate shielding.
—
When igniting, the lamp operates at a high pressure and there is a slight risk of arc tube
—
rupture. The risk increases with age, temperature and improper handling of the lamp. Do not
use the lamp longer than its recommended lifespan.
Make sure the lamp is located in the center of the reflector for the best projection.

4.3 Changing the Lamp
Do not use this lamp for more than 1500 hours, Using the lamp any longer than its set life could
seriously damage your unit. Periodically check the lamp running time, when the lamp reaches the
1500 hour mark, or close to it, we strongly suggest you exchange the lamp. Clear the RESET TIME after
you have replaced the lamp.
To replace the lamp:
1. Ensure that the fixture is detached from power and has cooled down completely. It is a good idea
to allow the fixture to run for 15 minutes after the lamp has been turned off, so that the cooling
fans have time to work.
2. Loosen the two screws and open the fixture head covers.
