6. LAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or replacing the lamp
For a proper and safe lamp change, please read this chapter carefully and follow all
instructions.
Lamp Protection Circuitry
Because of the nature of the extremely short gap of the Platinum 5R Lamp and the tight
nature of the internal optical system it is imperative that the lamp be replaced every 2000
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 300 hours of operation will result in automatic shut down of the fixtures
electronics.
At 2000 hours the display will begin to flash “Replace The Lamp.” At this point the lamp has
reached its’ maximum rated life and should be replaced immediately. The fixture will
continue to operate for an additional 300 hours, however the “Replace the Lamp” warning
will continue to flash. After 2300 hours the fixture will shut down after two minutes of
operation. The fixture will continue to shut down every two minutes after main powered is
applied until the lamp is replaced. To replace the lamp follow the safety guidelines and
procedures below;
