Light Source Replacement
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, before starting work on
units disconnect power and, for strobe modules
wait 5 minutes for stored energy to dissipate.
1. Unscrew the lens from the base.
CAUTION
Do not touch the strobe tube or halogen bulb with
bare fingers. Grasp the light source either by the
base or using a soft, clean cloth.
2. For Strobe Tube Replacement:
a. Grasp the strobe tube by its base and pull straight up out
of the strobe tube socket (Figure 2).
b. Grasp the new strobe tube by the strobe tube base and
press into the strobe tube socket.
3. Ensure that the clear gasket is on the base with the flared, open
