6. LAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or replacing the lamp
For a proper and safe lamp change, please read this chapter carefully and follow all
instructions.
Lamp Protection Circuitry
Because of the nature of the extreme heat associated with the Platinum 5R lamp and the tight
nature of the internal optical system it is imperative that the lamp be replaced every 2000
hours. This is done to protect the internal 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 operation will result in automatic shut down of the fixture's
electronics.
At 2000 hours the 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 2000-2300 hours).
After 2300 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 below;
