WARNINGS AND SAFETY HAZARDS 1.5. Emergency Off and Safe- ty Interlocks SUSS lamp houses and machinery (e.g. mask align- ers) are equipped with safety related interlocks ac- cording to there inherent risks. Such interlocks may consist of door locks, door switch, flow monitoring device and EMO functions.
Also correct lamp ori- entation is crucial (see lamp data sheets and SUSS Lamps may fail because of improper cooling, im- machine manuals for proper lamp orientation). proper settings of the power supply, usage outside the manufacturer’s guidelines, temperature shocks...
