Warnings, Cautions and Operating Instructions
R
“WARNING:These lamps can cause serious skin burn and eye
inflammation from short wave ultraviolet radiation if outer envelope of the
lamp is broken or punctured.Do not use where people will remain for more than
a few minutes unless adequate shielding or other safety precautions are used.
Certain lamps that will automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is
broken or punctured are commercially available.”This lamp complies with FDA
radiation performance standard 21 CFR subchapter J.(USA:21CFR 1040.30
Canada:SOR/DORS/80-381)
If the outer bulb is broken or punctured,turn off at once and
replace the lamp to avoid possible injury from hazardous short
wave ultraviolet radiation. Do not scratch the outer bulb or subject
it to pressure as this could cause the outer bulb to crack or shatter.
A partial vacuum in the outer bulb may cause glass to fly if the
envelope is struck.
WARNING: The arc-tube of metal halide lamps are designed to operate under
high pressure and at temperatures up to 1000º C and can unexpectedly rupture
due to internal or external factors such as a ballast failure or misapplication.If
the arc-tube ruptures for any reason,the outer bulb may break and pieces of
extremely hot glass might be discharged into the surrounding environment.If such
a rupture were to happen,THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
PROPERTY DAMAGE,BURNSAND FIRE.
Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner
arc-tube rupture occur are commercially available from Philips
Lighting Company.
RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORETHE END OF RATED LIFE.
Allowing lamps to operate until they fail is not advised and may
increase the possibility of inner arc tube rupture.
CAUTION: TO REDUCETHE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY
DAMAGE,BURNSAND FIRE RESULTING FROMAN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE
THE FOLLOWING LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MUST
BE FOLLOWED:
LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Turn off lamps at least once a week for at least 15 minutes in systems which
are operating on a continuous basis (24 hours/day-7days/week).FAILURETO
TURN OFF LAMPS FORTHE MINIMUM RECOMMENDEDTIME MAY
INCREASETHE POSSIBILITY OFAN INNERARC-TUBE RUPTURE.
2.RELAMP FIXTURESAT OR BEFORETHE END OF RATED LIFE.Allowing
lamps to operate until they fail is not advised and may increase the possibility
of inner arc tube rupture.
3.Use only in an enclosed fixture capable of withstanding particles of glass having
temperatures up to 1000º C.
4.Before lamp installation/replacement,shut power off and allow lamp and
fixture to cool to avoid electrical shock and potential burn hazards.
5.Use only auxiliary equipment meeting Philips and/or ANSI standards.Use
within voltage limits recommended by ballast manufacturer.
A.Operate lamp only within specified limits of operation.
B.For total supply load refer to ballast manufacturers electrical data.
6.Periodically inspect the outer envelope.Replace any lamps that show scratches,
cracks or damage.
7.If a lamp bulb support is used,be sure to insulate the support electrically to
avoid possible decomposition of the bulb glass.
8.Protect lamp base,socket and wiring against moisture, corrosive atmospheres
and excessive heat.
9.Time should be allowed for lamps to stabilize in color when turned on for the
first time.This may require several hours of operation,with more than one
start. Lamp color is also subject to change under conditions of excess vibration
or shock and color appearance may vary between individual lamps.
10.Lamps may require 10 to 20 minutes to re-light if there is a power interruption.
11.Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an arc tube is broken,avoid
skin contact with any of the contents or fragments.
12.Do not use this lamp:
A.In a fixture that contains a Pulse Start metal halide ballast.
B.In a fixture that is specifically designed for use with Pulse Start metal halide
lamps. Operation of these lamps on Pulse Start Metal Halide
systems may increase the chance of an outer bulb rupture and
pieces of extremely hot glass might be discharged into the
surrounding environment. If such a rupture were to happen,
THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,PROPERTY
DAMAGE,BURNSAND FIRE.
