Lamp Installation
Disconnect power prior to installing or replacing supplied quartz lamp(s). The elements can and should
be installed prior to mounting the heater.
1 Remove the service access panels and open lamp retainers.
2 Position heating elements in “U” slots at the ends of the reflector. When utilizing the ruby lamps, the
lamp adapter plates (EL-006) must first be removed.
3 Close lamp retainers to secure the heating element in the slot (see Figure 2.5).
4 Carefully wrap the heating element pigtail one revolution clockwise around terminal screws (see Figure
2.6). NOTE: Cut excess pigtail off at terminal to prevent lead from touching metal parts. Avoid
handling the quartz glass as much as possible. Quartz glass should be wiped off with alcohol using a
clean cloth.
5 Tighten the terminal screws (see Figure 2.6). CAUTION: Do not pull pigtail too tightly that pressure is
being placed on the heating element. Maintain a 1/2” slack in the pigtail.
6 Reinstall service access panels using sheet metal screws as removed in Step 1.
