3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION This SLC Xenon Console is a series of projection illumination systems that combine the
rectifier DC power supply and projector base with a Xenon lamphousing into a single,
integrated unit with a minimum of installation and wiring expense. These consoles are
designed for use with any standard 35-mm or 35/70-mm motion picture projector head.
3.1. THE XENON LAMP
The SLC Xenon Console utilizes a highly efficient optical system to obtain maximum light
output with extreme ease of operation and high reliability. This is accomplished by using a
horizontally operated Xenon lamp within a deep, explosion-proof reflector. For maximum
efficiency, the reflector has a computer-generated, aspheric shape. The high-voltage igniter
(Item 2 in Figure A-3), required for starting the Xenon lamps, is included within the
enclosure.
WARNING
Authorized protective clothing must be worn when protective cover is
removed from lamp.
For lamp description, recommendations, and warranty information, see the Christie (or
equivalent) lamp instructions.
SLC Consoles are equipped with a double interlock system on the lamp
access doors to extinguish the lamp if the enclosure is accidentally
opened. Keyed locks are provided on all access doors.
