GUIDE TO REPROGRAPHIC LAMPS
OSRAM SYLVANIA reprographic lamps are
designed for applications other than general
lighting. These applications include: plate making,
photo resist exposure, imaging and other
requiring the use of ultraviolet energy.
UNJACKETED REPROGRAPHIC F-TYPE LAMP
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE COMPLIED WITH TO AVOID RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND POOR LAMP PERFORMANCE.
I. RUPTURE RISKS: This High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp is constructed with a quartz arc-tube which operates at high pressure and at very high temperatures.
The arc-tube can unexpectedly rupture due to internal causes or external factors such as a ballast failure or misapplication resulting in the discharge of glass frag-
ments and extremely hot particles. In the event of such rupture,
THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE.
TO REDUCE THESE RISKS:
1. Only operate lamp in an enclosed fixture with a lens/diffuser material able to contain hot lamp fragments (up to 2012°F, 1100°C). If you are uncertain,
contact your fixture manufacturer.
2. Only operate lamp with compatible ballast (including capacitor and ignitor) and fixture.
3. Only operate lamp in horizontal position (Maximum deviation from horizontal is 15°).
4. Lamp must be turned off for a minimum of fifteen minutes at least once a week.
5. Never expose an operating lamp to moisture (such as rain, sleet or snow).
6. Replace lamp if bulb is scratched, cracked or damaged in any way.
7. Keep all metals at least 3 inches from the body of the arc-tube to avoid glass decomposition.
8. Do not operate lamps when output radiation falls below 75% of its initial value.
II. ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION HAZARD:
THIS LAMP EMITS ULTRAVIOLET (UV) POWER DURING OPERATION AND IS IN RISK GROUP 3 PER ANSI-IESNA Rp-27.3-
96. THIS LAMP CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SKIN BURN AND EYE INFLAMMATION FROM SHORTWAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION. KEEP OUT OF DIRECT OR INDI-
RECT LIGHT DURING OPERATION UNLESS APPROPRIATE EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION IS WORN. A POWER INTERLOCK DEVICE IS RECOMMENDED TO AUTO-
MATICALLY TURN OFF THE LAMP IF THE FIXTURE ASSEMBLY IS OPENED.
DUE TO THE ULTRAVIOLET HAZARD, THIS LAMP IS TO BE USED
ONLY IN EQUIPMENT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR USE WITH THIS LAMP AND RECOM-
MENDED FOR ITS USE BY THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER.
III. ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND BURN HAZARD: Do not remove or insert lamp while power is on. Allow lamp to cool before removing.
IV. LAMP INSTALLATION AND FIXTURE: Do not remove lamp from package until ready for use and then handle only with clean cotton gloves. If lamp is handled,
fingerprints, grease or oils may be removed from the bulb by wiping with alcohol. This will remove materials which cause whitish spotting (devitrification) and
premature lamp failure. Dry lamp carefully with clean cotton cloth.
1. Install lamps without undue pressure.
2. Ensure that lamp electrical connections are secure and nothing is touching bulb.
3. The seal base temperature must not exceed 350° C and the bulb wall temperature, as measured in center, must be maintained between 600° C and 700° C.
4. If cooling is required to maintain the seal/base and the bulb wall temperatures of item 3 above, air interlock vane switches are recommended to protect against
fan-motor failure.
5. All seal gaskets and wire insulation must be shielded from the UV radiation produced by this lamp.
6. Fixture wiring must have a temperature rating of 250° C and a minimum voltage rating of 600V RMS for lamps of less than 1000 watts and 1500V RMS for
lamps of 1000 watts or greater.
7. For maximum performance, all double-ended lamps must be operated with the arc-tube tip up.
V. BROKEN ARC-TUBE: Take care in handling and disposing of this lamp. If arc-tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the contents and fragments. See
Product Safety Data Sheet for further details.
