Installing the Lamp Module
1. Be sure the AC power cord is disconnected from the unit.
2. Remove the screw from the lamp access side panel using the 3mm hex tool
located on the bottom of the unit and remove the panel from the unit
cover.
3. Carefully remove the lamp module from its container, holding only the
ceramic component and glass rim
4. As illustrated below, position the lamp facing towards the front of the unit
with the power leads facing towards you.
Caution: Do not touch the bulb’s glass envelope or the inside surface of
the reflector. Skin oils can cause the lamp module to fail prematurely.
5. Make sure the middle of the lamp is in position to fit into the spring clamp.
Slide the lamp until it snaps into the spring clamp. The leading edge of the
reflector should fit snugly into the lamp holder recess.
6. Locate the 4-pin Intelli-Lamp sensor connector at the rear of the lamp
module and connect it to its mate located on the top of the lamp-housing
wall.
Tip: the Intelli-Lamp connector will only attach in the correct orientation. If
you are having difficulty attaching the connector, try rotating it by 180º.
7. Locate the Power connector with two leads and connect it to its mate
located on the bottom of the lamp-housing wall.
Tip: the Lamp Power connector will only attach in the correct orientation. If
you are having difficulty inserting the connector, try rotating it by 180º.
8. It is very important to ensure that the lamp anode cooling fin (bar)
and lamp power lead, at the front of the lamp are centered within
the lamp holder cutout. Rotate the lamp as required.
9. Replace the lamp housing side panel and tighten the fastening screw.
10. Replace the hex tool in the clips underneath the system for future use.
Note: if the lamp housing panel is not secured completely, the lamp will
not strike and the “bulb” message will display when power is turned on to
the unit.
