INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE LAMP
To ensure a proper/safe lamp change, carefully read all the following instructions.
LAMP PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
Because of the nature of the extreme heat associated with the Phillips™ Platinum
16R PRO lamp and the tight nature of the internal optical system, it is IMPERATIVE that
the lamp be replaced every 1,500 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 100 HOURS of the 1,500 HOUR RATED
LIFE, WILL CAUSE THE FIXTURE TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN!
At 1,400 Hours the LCD control 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 100 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 100 Hours (lamp clock life of 1,400-1,500 Hours).
After 1,500 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 listed on the
next page.

Please note that due to the nature of the Phillips™ Platinum 16R
Lamp and the optical path of the Elation PLATINUM WASH 16R
PRO fixture, the lamp MUST BE replaced at 1,500 hours.
Use only Genuine Original Phillips™ Platinum 16R Lamps. Other
brand lamps may cause damage and void warranty!
