For operator safety, it is necessary to turn off all power to the unit when adjusting or servicing the xenon power supply. This safety switch or power disconnect should be tagged “OFF - UNIT UNDER REPAIR”... -
Page 4: Tap Adjustment
IGNITE THE XENON BULB and check the current as indicated on the control panel ammeter. Allow (30) seconds for the current to stabilize and provide an accurate reading. If the current is not within the above-noted range, extinguish the bulb. - Page 5 INSTALLATION (continued) FINE ADJUSTMENT of the DC current is made to the NUMBERED taps found on the upper three terminal blocks (TB4, TB5, TB6). Fine taps are numbered 1-2-3-4, with “1” providing the lowest output, increasing to “4,” yielding the highest output. A “fine” tap adjustment raises or lowers the current approximately four amperes.
- Page 6 AFTER PROLONGED OPERATION, the light output of the xenon bulb will decrease. This is a normal factor of bulb aging, and can be compensated by raising the DC output of the xenon power supply. If the bulb was first operated at “nominal” current, the power supply output can gradually be increased to, but not in excess of, he maximum current specified by the bulb manufac- turer.

THE BOOST CIRCUIT generates the high open circuit (“no load”) DC voltage which, in conjunction with the igniter pulse, will ignite the xenon bulb. The open circuit voltage should measure at least 110 V.DC. It is displayed briefly on the lamphouse ammeter by pressing the “VOLT- AGE”... - Page 9 TROUBLESHOOTING (continued) POWER CONVERSION PROBLEMS RECTIFICATION (AC to DC) is performed by bridge diodes CR1 - CR6. CR1, CR2, and CR3 are forward diodes, and CR4, CR5, and CR6 are reverse diodes. The two types are not interchangeable. AN OPEN DIODE will cause a pronounced flicker in the light output. Two or more open diodes will disable bulb ignition.
