CHANGE LAMP
In the Lamp S/N window, use the number text entry keys to record the new lamp serial
number and press
again to accept the change. See Using Slide bars and Other
Controls if you need help entering the number. Once entered, the new lamp serial
number will be added to the Lamp History menu and the Lamp Hours timer will reset
to "0". Lamp Mode and Lamp Limit remain as they were for the previous lamp and
can be changed at any time. See Figure 3.13.

Figure 3.13. Recording the New Lamp Serial Number
NOTE: Enter a serial number only if you have just installed a new lamp. This will
help ensure that lamp timer is not reset on an old lamp and that the number of hours
logged on the lamp will be accurate.
ALWAYS record the serial number of a NEW lamp.
When a new lamp is installed and its serial
number recorded by selecting "Change
Lamp" in the Lamp menu, the lamp timer
resets to "0" and begins logging time for
the new lamp. This tally appears in both
the Lamp menu (see right) and the Status
menu.
To review the number of hours logged for
previous lamps, consult the Lamp History
menu.
If the "Lamp Message" checkbox has been
enabled in the Lamp menu (recommended), an expiry message will appear upon
power-up when the lamp has reached its defined "Lamp Limit". In addition, the
LED's next to the built-in keypad will flash "LP" when lamp time has expired. The
lamp should be replaced.
The "Lamp Limit" setting should not exceed the expected lamp life, as an old lamp
becomes increasingly fragile and more prone to sudden failure. See also 4.4, Lamp
and Filter Replacement.
