3.11.2 Operating notes
Note
The spectral emission radiation characteristic of the deuterium lamp
will change during the warm-up phase. A minimum warm-up time
of approx. 30 minutes must therefore be observed as the emitter is
then able to achieve a stable operating condition. For very precise
measurements, a warm-up time of at least 60 minutes is necessary so
that the optical and mechanical components of the bulb can achieve a
constant working temperature.
Note
Turning the lamp on and off frequently can considerably reduce the
emitter's average life span. The lamp should therefore not be turned off
if work is halted for relatively short periods of time.
3.11.3 Safety information for CLD 600 lamp cassette
Caution
UV radiation!
The deuterium lamp emits light in the ultraviolet range! Do not look
directly into the beam path! Doing so will result in injury to the eyes.
Please observe the relevant regulations when handling UV light sources.
