LAMP DISPOSAL:
1. Disposal of spent lamps must be in accordance with applicable federal, state/provincial, and local regulations. Some U.S. states differ in their disposal require-
ments for lamps containing mercury.
2. Lamp users in North America may obtain specific state or province information concerning disposal regulations, toll free, by calling 1-866-666-6850.
3. OSRAM SYLVANIA INC. cannot advise lamp users as to general or specific disposal regulations for federal, state/provincial, and/or local municipalities.
XBO
®
HIGH PRESSURE XENON LAMPS
WARNING:
In accordance with ANSI/IESNA Standard RP-27, this XBO bulb is a Risk Group 3 product.
Read and understand this warning before using this bulb!
XBO lamps are at high internal pressure when cold (up to 35 bar or approximately 525 psi) and at operating temperature (up to 80 bar or approximately 1200 psi
at bulb wall temperatures of 600°C to 800°C). Ther
efore, XBO lamps may unexpectedly rupture resulting in the discharge of hot fragments of quartz and/or
glass and metal. In the event of such a rupture, there is a risk of personal injury, burns and fire. Only handle lamps with their protective covers in place. Do
not handle lamps without their protective covers unless government-approved (OSHA-approved in the U.S.A.) safety glasses, facemask (with neck protector),
chest protector, and gauntlets are worn.
RUPTURE & RADIATION (UV-VISIBLE-IR) HAZARDS:
1. Intense ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) radiation is also generated during operation. This radiation can cause permanent damage to the eyes (including
blindness) and serious injury to the skin (including burns and blistering). Some operating lamps also generate ozone (O
3
). Others, designated "OFR," are con-
structed of materials that prevent the generation of ozone. See the "Ozone Generation" section below.
2. To avoid eye damage, other personal injury and/or property damage, the lamp MUST be operated in a suitable fixture. A suitable fixture is one that will prevent the
arc from being viewed directly while operating. It is ventilated to the outside for those lamps that produce ozone and, in the event of a rupture, will prevent hot
(up to 800°C), flying fragments of quartz and/or glass or metal from escaping into the surrounding area.
3. To minimize the risk of a lamp rupture, the lamp must be replaced at or before the end of rated life (see catalog for rated life) or when the lamp shows signs of
advanced blackening or quartz devitrification (recrystalization, a white, frosted appearance).
4. XBO lamps are constructed of quartz glass, tungsten electrodes and either tungsten support rods or molybdenum foils. High wattage XBO lamps used for cinema
film projection have nickel-plated end caps (bases). Reflectorized XBO lamps have a dichroic-coated borosilicate glass reflector.
GENERAL SAFETY & INSTALLATION TIPS
INSTALLATION:
1. Do not use if lamp is scratched, cracked, or damaged in any way.
2. To prevent electric shock, shut off main power to the fixture before attempting to service or replace lamp.
3. To avoid damaging the quartz and causing premature lamp failure, do not handle lamp with bare hands.
4. Handle lamp ONLY with suitable, clean, safety gloves. See special handling instructions for using government-approved personal protective safety equipment with
high-pressure lamps.
5. If the quartz parts (or the reflector for reflectorized lamps) are inadvertently touched, clean fingerprints off with denatured alcohol and wipe dry with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning rags or material that can leave a residue.
6. To prevent skin burns, allow lamp to cool before handling.
7. To avoid breakage, mounting of the lamp must be free of mechanical stress during installation and during operation by allowing for thermal expansion along its
axis. For this reason, XBO lamps should be fixed at one end only and the electrical connection on the other end must be flexible enough to avoid stressing the
lamp.
8. XBO lamps should not be subjected to force/stress during installation.
9. Handle lamp only with protective safety cover in place. When installing lamp, remove safety cover only AFTER fully securing lamp in lamphouse/fixture and
immediately preceding the replacement of equipment covers or closing of lamphouse door.
10. Replace all fixture covers and shields after replacing lamp to prevent eye damage, other personal injury, and/or property damage.
11. Use only in instruments/equipment specifying this lamp type.
12. Make sure lamp is properly installed into socket/connector to obtain good electrical and thermal contact and avoid damaging lamp and/or socket/connector.
Electrical connections should be free from dirt and corrosion.
13. Socket/connector condition may affect lamp life. Replace socket/connector or lamp if deterioration (pitting, scorching, corrosion, etc.) of either is observed.
14. All XBO lamps are designed for DC operation. Make sure that the polarity is correct before turning power on. Incorrect polarity can destroy the lamp in a matter
of seconds. Operate with compatible power supply and fixture only.
15. For best performance, operate this XBO lamp at rated current. Note: some low wattage XBO lamps may not be operated above their specified rated wattage. See
catalog for details.
16. For those XBO lamps that have a current control range, the current may be increased to its maximum value to compensate for loss of light over the life of the
lamp. Operating the lamp at minimum current does not prolong the life of the lamp. The DC current may only be varied within specified control limits for the
selected type. (See catalog for these limits for your specific lamp type.)
