Xenon illumination system

G-30-1426-en
Description
The suspension system is equipped with a xenon illumination system for
fiber illumination. The xenon lamp generates light whose spectrum re-
sembles that of natural daylight. Regardless of the brightness setting, the
color temperature of the light always remains the same. Normal daylight
film without any additional conversion filters can therefore be used for
photographic documentation. The lamp housing contains two xenon
lamps. The second lamp is used as a backup lamp which must be swung
into the illumination beam path should the first lamp fail.
Warning!
The xenon lamp has a limited service life of 500 h.
If used beyond its maximum service life, the xenon lamp may explode.
• Replace the xenon lamp in good time.
• Reset the service hour counter to "0" after replacing the lamp.
Caution:
Do not cover the ventilation grid! For example, drapes could be covering
the grid. This can lead to overheating of the lamp modules and to lamp
failure.

• Pull out the lamp module as far as it will go.
• Turn knob (2) through 180° until it snaps in. This moves the backup
lamp into the illumination beam path.
