WARNING:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST EXCESSIVE
EXPOSURE TO UV RADIATION
1. Many VARI❋LITE® luminaires use an HID type lamp that produces UV radiation. DO
NOT look directly at lamp.
2. It is hazardous to operate luminaires without lens or shield. Shields, lenses, or ultraviolet
screens shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their
effectiveness is impaired. For example, by cracks or deep scratches.
WARNING:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST INJURY TO PERSONS
1. Exterior surfaces of the luminaire will be hot during operation. Use appropriate safety
equipment (gloves, eye protection, etc.) when handling and adjusting hot equipment and
components.
2. Luminaires will have a hot lamp when operating. Disconnect power and allow lamp to
cool before replacing.
3. Arc lamps emit ultraviolet radiation which can cause serious skin burn and eye
inflammation. Additionally, arc lamps operate under high pressure at very high
temperatures. Should the lamp break, there can exist a danger of personal injury and/or
fire from broken lamp particles being discharged.
4. Wear eye protection when relamping.
5. Appropriate safety equipment (gloves, eye protection) should be used when handling
damaged lamps.
6. If lamp is touched with bare hands, clean lamp with isopropyl alcohol and wipe with
lint-free cloth before installing or powering up the luminaire.
7. The lamp shall be changed if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.
WARNING:
RF INTERFERENCE
1. This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference, in which case, the user may be required to take adequate measures.
ARC LAMP CHARACTERISTIC CONSIDERATIONS
1. Arc lamps require a period of time to relight after a power interruption or a severe voltage
dip. In some cases, lamp will automatically relight after it has cooled depending on Lamp
Power-Up State (L ON/ LOFF) system configuration setting.
2. Burning position is universal.
