After the lamp has lit the PSU regulates the voltage through the ignitor so that the lamp operates within its design parameters Back To Top 6 Operating Instructions This equipment is designed for use out of doors in free air Never place anything on or cover the searchlight when in use as this may present a hazard The searchlight can be remotely positioned via the joystick control panel with the facility for movement up down left and right When in the desired position the joystick should be released so that it returns to its home position dead centre The beam of the searchlight can be adjusted to give a variety of beam types Using the yellow remote focus button on the joystick panel the desired beam can be achieved for any particular application The beam will move continuously through Spot to flood In order to fix the beam type simply release the button at the desired position The heater specified on this equipment is self regulating and will shut off when the dew point temperature is reached This product should not be used for any purpose other than for which it was designed Any modifications to the product should not be undertaken without consulting the manufacturer Setting to Work Safe service in use necessitates the strict observance of the following precautions Any article fabricated from quartz or glass is inherently fragile and care should therefore be taken at all times when handling lamps
3. Eye protection must be worn when handling lamps that have been removed from their packaging materials Ensure that the power rating of the lamp to be fitted is suitable for the lamphouse and power supply equipment Always isolate the equipment from the supply before inserting a lamp Before inserting the lamp ensure that all contacts are clean Contacts must be renewed at the slightest sign of corrosion Sanding or filing down corroded areas is not recommended as this will only make the conducting surface between the pin and lampholder smaller thus causing the lamp to overheat Do not twist or bend the fused quartz bulb when fitting the lamp as mechanical stresses MUST be avoided When inserting or removing a lamp always hold it securely by its base in order to prevent breakage between base and bulb The lampholder must not exercise mechanical tensions on the lamp neither during insertion or operation Contacts must not discolour during use For safety reasons the lamp should be replaced once it has reached its average life and not later than 1 25 times the stated life With continuing use the risk of the lamp exploding increases due to alterations within the quartz When fitting the lamp suitable protection must be worn i e face mask and gloves with wrist protection Never touch the quartz bulb with bare hands as fingerprints will make the glass cloudy and cause a severe loss of light This may also cause recrystallisation and thus w
