MAIN LAMP REPLACEMENT
1.
Always use protective gloves while replacing the lamp as lamp temperatures may be
sufficiently high to burn skin should it come into contact with the glass capsule. Where
possible, allow the lamp to cool before replacing it.
2.
To replace the lamp, first grip the rectangular block located beneath the cable gland at the
back of the lamphouse. Pull the block outwards from the long rectangular block to reveal the
lamp assembly. Refer to figure 11.
3.
Grip the lamp holder at the sides where the rectangular cutout is located, and pull the lamp out.
Do not attempt to pull the lamp out by gripping the glass capsule. Refer to figure 11.
4.
Push the new lamp into the socket so that the lamp flange sits flush on the front of the locating
tube. Replace the lamp assembly in the long rectangular block, so that the pins engage in the
sockets and 'click' into place. Ensure that the new lamp is free of grease or finger prints
before replacement. Any such marks should be removed with a solvent such as methanol to
avoid reducing lamp life.
