Warning
6.
Check the combination of dia pillar illuminator, lamp, and power supply device.
The combination of the dia pillar illuminator and the power supply device is specified based on
the lamp ratings (12V/100W or 6V/30W) and the power voltage. Use them in the correct
combination according to the instructions on page 55. Use of the devices in a wrong combination
may result in malfunction, overheat, or fire.

Cautions on heat from the light source
The lamp and the lamphouse become extremely hot when the lamp is turned on. Follow the
cautions below to prevent burns and fire.
•
To avoid burns, do not touch the lamp and the lamphouse while the lamp is on or for
approximately thirty minutes after it has been turned off.
•
To avoid the risk of fire, do not place fabric, paper, or highly flammable volatile materials (i.e.
gasoline, petroleum benzine, paint thinner, and alcohol) near the lamphouse while the lamp is
on or for about thirty minutes after it has been turned off.
•
Do not block the air vents on the lamphouse. If the lamphouse becomes covered or items are
placed on the lamphouse, heat dissipation may be hindered, causing the lamphouse to
become abnormally hot.
•
The bottom of the power supply device becomes hot during use. Do not cover the air vents on
the side of the power supply device.
8.
Cautions on lamp replacement
•
When replacing the lamp, wait approximately thirty minutes after turning off the lamp, and
make sure that the lamp and the lamphouse have cooled sufficiently.
•
To prevent electric shock and product damage, turn off the power switch (set the switch to the
"O" side) and unplug the power cords from the wall outlets before replacing the lamp.
•
After replacing the lamp, close and secure the lamphouse cover. Never use the product with
the lamphouse cover left open.
•
Do not break the used lamp. It should be disposed of as an industrial waste, according to the
local regulations and rules.
