Lamp breakage
If the environmental chamber is not used in the manner specified in this
operating manual, the protection provided by the equipment design may be
impaired.
In case of lamp breakage:
Persons who are not needed for disposal must leave the room.
Attention
Do not use a vacuum cleaner to remove the fragments and this will spread the mercury
vapor and dust throughout the area and possibly contaminate the room.
1. Switch the device off.
2. Ventilate the room for at least 15 minutes, if possible with air passage.
3. If present, switch off central heating/air conditioning.
4. Wear cutting-resistant gloves so as not to cut on the pieces.
5. Sweep up all parts and remove small pieces with a moistened cloth. Lamp residues,
as well as wipes, pack in a tear-proof plastic bag or tight container and seal well.
6. Dispose of the broken lamp parts at the nearest waste lamp collection point
(www.lightcycle.de). If the lamp parts have to be stored temporarily, this should be
done outdoors.
