The risk of lamp explosion increases with lamp hours as the quartz envelope gradually weakens. It is recommended that lamp usage not exceed 125 percent of the lamp’s rated average life.
The procedure for installing the lamp is described on page 5. After installing the lamp, reset the lamp usage counters as described under “Readouts” on page 14.
