Discharge Lamp Warning - Elation PROTEUS HYBRID WMG User Manual

DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING

Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp MAY EXPLODE
DURING PROLONGED EXTENSIVE USE. This risk is increased with age; added care is encouraged
when dealing with older lamps. Thus, the lamp must always be replaced at the end of their
recommended duty cycle. Extreme caution should be used when operating this or any fixture
fitted with a gas discharge lamp.
This fixture is fitted with a DISCHARGE LAMP, which is highly susceptible
to damage if improperly handled. NEVER touch the lamp with your bare
hands, as the oil from your hands will shorten the life of the lamp. Also,
NEVER move the fixture until the lamp has had ample time to cool. Lamps
are NOT covered under warranty conditions. Avoid switching the fixture
ON and OFF repeatedly in short intervals, as this will reduce lamp life and
intensity. To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these
lamps use gas sealed in a high-pressure environment to emit a brilliant
output.
UV RADIATION NOTICE
This fixture emits intense UV radiation, which is harmful to the
eyes and skin. The intense luminance of the lamp can cause
severe damage to the retina. NEVER operate this fixture with
ANY of the protective covers removed. These covers have been
specially designed to shield against UV radiation.
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!
