Instructions for lamp replacement

•The lamp contains mercury! Be abso- lutely certain to follow the handling

instructions and safety notes provided with the lamp.

materials.

has high internal pressure when hot. Before changing the lamp, it is mandatory to allow the instrument to cool off for at least 20 minutes.

but the lamp is not installed when shipped. This minimizes the danger of damage to the lamp during transport.

remove the lamp.
