LAMP INSTALLATION

INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE LAMP
To ensure a proper/safe lamp change, carefully read all the following instructions.
LAMP PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
Because of the nature of the extreme heat associated with the Philips™ Platinum 21 R lamp and
the unique IP65 rated sealed optical system, it is IMPERATIVE that the lamp be replaced at
1,500 Hours or sooner. This is done to protect the internal sealed optical system as well as
prevent accidental lamp explosion, which could lead to hot glass particles falling from the
fixture.
FAILURE TO CHANGE THE LAMP WITHIN 300 HOURS of the 1,500 HOUR RATED LIFE, WILL
CAUSE THE FIXTURE TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN!
At 1,500 Hours the LCD control display will begin to flash, "Replace The Lamp" and the lamp
will flicker for the first five minutes of operation. At this point the lamp has reached the
maximum rated life and should be replaced immediately. After the lamp has flickered for about
five minutes it should strike normally allowing the fixture to be used temporarily until a
replacement lamp can be installed. The fixture will continue to operate for an additional 300
hours; however, the "Replace the Lamp" warning will continue to flash in the display. Keep in
mind that the flicker protection circuitry will only work for about 300 Hours (lamp clock life
of 1,500-1,800 Hours).
After 1,800 Hours the fixture will no longer respond to DMX commands and immediately enter
a hibernation mode that will electronically discontinue all fixture functionality except for a
few menu commands. The fixture will continue to enter hibernation mode until the lamp is
replaced and the lamp clock has been reset. To replace the lamp, follow the safety guidelines
and procedures listed on the next page.
LAMP REPLACEMENT
Please note that due to the nature of the Philips™ Platinum 21R
Lamp and the optical path of the fixture, the lamp MUST BE
replaced at 1,500 hours.
Use only Genuine Original Philips™ Platinum 21R Lamps. Other
brand lamps may cause damage and void warranty!
