Philips Basic Protected Metal Halide Lamps
Ordering, Electrical andTechnical Data
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,BURNS
AND FIRE.
These lamps are designed to retain all the glass
particles should an arc tube rupture occur.
The following operating instructions are
recommended to minimize these occurrences.
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,BURNS AND FIRE
RESULTING FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE
THE FOLLOWING
LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MUST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. 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.
2. Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off
and allow lamp and fixture to cool to avoid electrical
shock and potential burn hazards.
3. 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.
4. Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any
lamps that show scratches, cracks or damage.
5. If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate the
support electrically to avoid possible decomposition of
the bulb glass.
6. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture,
corrosive atmospheres and excessive heat.
7. 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.
8. Lamps may require 10 to 20 minutes to re-light if
there is a power interruption.
9. Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an arc
tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the
contents or fragments.
10. 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 environ-
ment.
If such a rupture were to happen,THERE IS A RISK
OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BURNS AND FIRE.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for Basic Protected Metal Halide Lamps
(Base Up Operation ± 15º Unless Noted; Open or Enclosed Fixtures)
1) Rated average life is thelife obtained,on the average, from large representative groups of lamps in laboratory tests under controlled conditions at 10 or more operating hours per start.It is based on survival of at least
50% of the lamps and allows for individual lamps or groups oflamps to vary considerably from the average.For HPS lamps with a rated average life of 18,000 hours,life is based on survival of 67% of the lamps.
2) Measured at 100hours of life in vertical operating position.
3)Approximate mean lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life.Measured in vertical operating position.
4)Approximate color temperature in Kelvin degrees.
Above specifications subject to change without notice.
