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 14 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 with the exception of 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.
L A M P
Please note that due to the nature of the Philips™ Platinum
14R Lamp and the optical path of the fixture, the lamp MUST
BE replaced at 1,500 hours.
Use only Genuine Original Philips Platinum 14R Lamps. Other
brand lamps may cause damage and void warranty!
