How to install the xenon lamp in the manual S/M Lamp House?
1. Install the lamp cathode adapter on the cathode of the xenon lamp. Note that some xenon lamps have a cathode pin with screw
threat (reference 10 image 4-27). Screw the adaptor on the anode pin as far as possible. Make sure that there is full contact
between the adapter flat surface and the lamp base. Fasten the set screw (reference 9 image 4-27) of the cathode adapter with
a torque of 2.5Nm (1.84 lbf*ft). Use a torque wrench with a 5mm Allen socket.
Caution:
Ensure that the adaptor is clean. Periodically clean the adapter. Remove oxide from silver plated adaptor with
standard household metal polish (E.g. Brasso).
Warning:
Install the cathode adapter prior to removing the protective container or protective cloth from the xenon lamp.
