Installing and Replacing the Lamp

Lamp door latch

Lamp door

A lamp must be installed before you use the fixture.

Figure-2 Lamp door on bottom of the fixture.

Note:

WARNING:

Step 1: Disconnect power to the fixture before installing or replacing the lamp.

Step 2: On the bottom of the fixture, turn the latch on the lamp door one-quarter turn and then

open the door.

Step 3: Remove the lamp holder assembly by turning the knurled knob counterclockwise to

release the lamp socket assembly.

Verify that the HPL lamp you intend to install is suitable for your facility’s voltage;
115-, 120-, 230-, and 240-volt HPL lamps are available.
See HPL Lamp Table, page 2. Operating HPL lamps above their rated voltage
reduces lamp life and can cause premature lamp failure.

Unplug the fixture and allow it to cool down before attempting to change the
lamp.

Figure-3 Remove lamp with quarter turn counterclockwise.

Step 5: If replacing a lamp, carefully remove the old lamp from the lamp socket assembly.

Step 6: Holding the new HPL lamp by the base, remove it from its box.

CAUTION:

Use caution when installing or replacing any lamp.

When installing and replacing lamp, be sure to point the lamp away from your face
and away from others before inserting it firmly into the assembly.

This may prevent injuries if the lamp should break.

.

Note:

To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp glass. If you do, clean it
carefully with isopropyl alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth. Allow to dry before
operation.

Step 7: Align the flat sides of the lamp base with the retention brackets on either side of the

socket in the lamp holder assembly as shown in Figure-3.

Step 8: Push down on the lamp base until the lamp seats firmly. When properly installed, the top

of the lamp’s base will be even with the top edges of the retention brackets.

CAUTION:

Step 9: Reinstall the lamp holder assembly into its socket in the fixture so that the arrow points

towards the “unlock” icon on the socket.

Step 10: Turn the lamp holder assembly clockwise one-quarter turn so that the arrow points to the

“lock” icon.

Step 11: Turn the knurled knob clockwise to secure the lamp holder assembly.

Step 12: Close the lamp housing door and turn the latch to secure the door.

Improperly installed lamps and lamp holder assemblies cause premature lamp
failure and socket problems.

always use high-quality color media rated for high-temperature use.

A variety of heat shield products is also available from many color media
manufacturers. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the use of these
products.

Cleaning the Glass Lens and Reflector

WARNING:

Do not use ammonia-based or other harsh commercial cleaners. Clean lens
only as directed.

Commercially available glass cleaning agents should be avoided as they
may contain ammonia, other harsh chemical detergents or abrasive agents.
These cleaners may damage the glass surface and the Anti-Reflective
coatings. Do not immerse or soak the glass in any cleaning solution.

Replace the lens if it contains visible damage such as cracks or deep scratches that may impair
their effectiveness.

The reflector is located behind the lamp. The lamp must be removed before cleaning the reflector.

Remove dust with a blast of oil-free air or wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth. Isopropyl alcohol, distilled
water or a 50% mixture of each can be used to clean the lens and reflector.
