Warnings, Cautions and Operating Instructions
“WA NING: 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.
WA NING: 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,
THE E IS A ISK OF PE SONAL INJU Y, P OPE TY
DAMAGE, BU NS AND FI E.
Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner
arc-tube rupture occur are commercially available from Philips
Lighting Company.
ELAMP FIXTU ES AT O BEFO E THE END OF ATED LIFE.
Allowing lamps to operate until they fail is not advised and may
increase the possibility of inner arc tube rupture.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONA INJURY, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE RESU TING FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE
THE FO OWING LAMP OPE ATING INST UCTIONS MUST
BE FO OWED:
LAMP OPE ATING INST UCTIONS:
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).
FAI URE TO TURN OFF AMPS FOR THE MINIMUM
RECOMMENDED TIME MAY INCREASE THE POSSIBI ITY OF AN
INNER ARC-TUBE RUPTURE.
2. RE AMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORE THE END OF RATED IFE.
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 1000 degrees 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. amp color is also subject to change under conditions of excess
vibration or shock and color appearance may vary between
individual lamps.
10. amps 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, THE E IS A ISK OF
PE SONAL INJU Y, P OPE TY DAMAGE, BU NS AND FI E.
