7.11 Installing fluorescence
(IM-3F and IM3FL4 only)
• Disconnect all electrical cables before installing or replacing the bulb.
• The bulb has an anode and a cathode of different sizes. Respect the polarity during
assembly, respecting the bulb dimensions.
• Do not touch the bulb of the lamp with bare hands to leave no traces of grease on the bulb.
If this happens, clean the bulb with a soft cloth before turning on the lamp.
• The lamp has an average life of about 200-250 hours: a time counter and a voltage indicator
are shown on the lamp power supply. Replace the lamp when the hour count exceeds 250
or if the voltage drops below 4.5A.
• During use, the lamp, the lamp housing and the surrounding environment become hot.
• Before replacing the lamp, switch off the power supply, disconnect all cables and wait for
the lamp and the lamp housing to cool.
• After switching on the lamp, wait at least 10-15 minutes before switching it off.
• After switching off the lamp, wait for 5-10 minutes before switching it on again so that the
mercury vapors have time to condense.
• The lamp contains ultraviolet radiation that could be harmful to eyes and skin. Always look
at the lamp arc through the provided orange screen.
• Fluorescence filters are installed before shipment from the factory. Therefore, no user
intervention is required
