2. Do not allow excessive
electric
current
otherthan the specified
oneto the lamp. Thelamp
current
isalways
kept constant
sothat no cunent fluctuationoccurs
whiletheoperationisunderway. Thelampcircuitis pre-
adjustedto the normal current setupat factory. If the currentadjustmentisnecessitated
by all means
for
good reason,
adjustthe currentlevelby turningthe rod in thelampcurrentadjustinghole. Don't raise
the
level
of thelampcurrent beyond
theredmarkon the lampammeter.
3. Whenthe Xenon-arclamp istumed on, ahighvoltageof some30,000Visapplied.Thelampignition
