DISASSEMBLY
Canopy
Use an appropriate knife to carefully remove the two decorative caps that cover the plastic rivets (7) from the end covers of the lamp housing (35 +
40) and then lever the rivets out of the lamp housing with the knife.
Now all the other parts of the lamp housing of the canopy are accessible and can be disassembled. Before the HP 400 lamps can be taken out, the reflector (55) and the filter unit (56) have to be loosened and removed. To disassemble the two upper fans (23), first remove the two ballasts and then lift the fans with the fan holders out of the housing so that the fixing screws can be loosened.
Use an appropriate screwdriver to carefully remove the 5 screw covers (34) and to loosen the screws (36).
Now the end covers can be removed from the lamp housing.
Unscrew the body cooling fan on the left side of the canopy and take it out. Remove the screws. Pull the ornamental/retaining strips (3) of the acrylic sheet (45) up and snap them out.
Lift the acrylic sheet from the appliance together with a second person. The TL’s (41 + 42), the starter (19) and the safety switch of the lamp filter (57) are now accessible. To remove the cover of the lamp housing (38), first remove the decorative caps of the four plastic rivets (37) with a suitable knife.
Be careful: prevent scratches on the cover!
Then pull the cover of the lamp housing out of the grooves of the housing parts (39 + 43). Lift the cover off the housing parts together with a second person and place it on a soft surface behind the appliance in such a way that the con­necting cable (44) is not subjected to a too high mechanical load.
Mark the position of the filter holders before disassembly to make sure that they can be assembled in exactly the same position when reassembling the lamp housing, which is necessary to ensure that the rivets of the cover of the lamp housing (28) can be reinserted without a problem. To disassemble switches SK 1-4 (52, 53, 54), the housing part (43) must be pushed inwards and downwards and kept apart with a suitable object. The housing part (43) is highly flexible.
Appliances from the first series have another rivet in their housing part (43) that must be removed before the housing can be pushed down. This rivet must not be replaced.
To disassemble the gas pressure springs (50), fold the canopy up and have a second person lock it in this position. Push housing part (43) inwards and downwards and keep it apart with a suitable object. Remove the spring retainer cover (51) with a suitable screwdriver and then loosen the retaining nut. The gas pressure spring can now be removed from the appliance. Always use a new spring retainer cover (51) when reassembling the appliance! To disassemble the body cooling fans (61), take the two housing halves (60 + 61) apart after loosening four screws. The fans that have already been unscrewed can now be disassembled further.
Couch
Use an appropriate knife to carefully remove the two decorative caps that cover the plastic rivets (7) from the end covers of the lamp housing (6 +
13). Then lever the rivets out of the lamp housing with the knife. Use an appropriate screwdriver to carefully remo­ve the 4 screw covers (34) and to loosen the screws (36). Now the end covers can be removed from the lamp housing (6 + 13).
Pull the ornamental/retaining strips (3) of the acry­lic sheet (9) up and snap them out. Lift the acrylic sheet off the couch to gain access to the TL’s (2), the starter (19) and the PCB (5). To replace the remote control (30), unsolder con­necting cable (29) from the remote control PCB.
To disassemble the cover of the lamp housing (15), pull the connecting cable (44) of the canopy out of the socket in the couch.
Loosen the screws located in the cover of the lamp housing next to the studs (69). Pull the cover out of the grooves of the housing part (14) and lift it together with a second person off the rest of the housing and put it on a soft surface. Now all the other parts of the lamp housing of the couch are accessible and can be disassembled.
ASSEMBLY
Lift the canopy off the couch together with a second person. Place the canopy on a soft surface.
Canopy
When assembling the acrylic sheet (45), make sure the ornamental/retaining strips (3) have been snapped in properly.
Always use a new spring retainer (51) when reassembling the gas pressure springs (50)!
When assembling the housing part (43), make sure the housing part has been properly snapped in behind the metal strip.
Couch
When assembling the acrylic sheet (9), make sure the ornamental/retaining strips (3) have been snapped in properly. When assembling the cover of the lamp housing (15), please make sure that the small housing cover (10) permitting entry of the mains cable, remote control cable and other connectors laps properly over the cover of the housing.
Then lift the couch off its frame together with a second person and place the couch on a soft surface with the lamps pointing downwards.
SERVICE TIPS
• If a fuse blows when you switch on the appliance, this is usually caused by a fuse that acts too quickly. In such a case, use of a slow 16A safety fuse is recommended on account of the high starting current.
• The fuse may also be activated as a result of a defective NTC resistor, a defective capacitor, a defective ballast or an overloaded circuit.
• If one or more TL’s have broken down, you can track down the failure cause by exchanging parts (ballasts, starters, lamps). If these parts are OK, the wiring must be checked, especially the connections to the lamp holders.
• An unusually early blackening of the end of the TL’s points to a wiring fault or a defective starter.
If you touch the lamp surface by accident, clean it with pure alcohol.
• New HP400 lamps may show colour differences. This is not a defect, but a characteristic pheno menon of lamps of this type. The discolourations disappear after a short period of use.
• The plug-in connections of the wires can be detached by means of a paper clip.
• Thermal switch (46) switches the HP 400 lamp off at a temperature of approx. 75C. After the lamp has cooled down (i.e. after approx. 15 minutes), the HP 400 lamp will automatically come on again.
• If the thermal switch turns the HP 400 lamp off repeatedly, check if the rpm of the fan isn’t too low. Put some thin oil on the bearings.
• When the couch cannot be switched on, the relay on the PCB may be defective. Other possible causes are a defective inlet or a defective connecting cable.
• When exchanging the HP 400 lamp, make sure you do not touch the new lamp with your bare hands, as finger prints could burn in and reduce the lamp’s performance.
• If the glass pane with metal frame (56) have been disassembled, the HP 400 lamp cannot be started, as in that case microswitch (57) will be open.
• After repair, always check whether the glass pane with metal frame has been properly mounted.
• Always use protecting goggles when looking in the direction of burning lamps.
• The acrylic sheets can be cleaned with a moist cloth and some washing-up liquid. Avoid the use of alcohol, alcohol-based cleaners, petrol, acetone or abrasives! These substances can cause irreparable damage to the sheets.
• Disposal of used-up or broken lamps
Used-up or broken lamps are chemical waste and must be disposed of in the appropriate manner.
IRRADIANCE
The measuring data indicated below were established with help of an UVX 36 meter and may only be checked with this equipment, since the values measured are relative values. The measurements must be taken after approx. 5 minutes in the centre of the irradiation field and at the distance indicated. The following aspects must be checked or the following preliminary measurements must be taken:
• Mains voltage: 230V
• Room temperature approx.: 22-28C
• Check the fans for failure-free operation as optimal irradiation is only guaranteed at the correct operating temperatures.
• Clean the reflectors, the lamps, the acrylic sheets and the glass pane.
UVX 36 meter distance in cm mW/cm
With regard to the minimum irradiation indicated below, you should bear in mind that this is not an absolute value at which the lamps must be
replaced. Depending on the skin type, the tanning session may also be extended so that the lamps can be used a little longer.
