METALARC

BRITELINE, 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 Metal Halide 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 fragments 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 and fixture. (See catalog for specific information.)

3. Only operate lamp in horizontal position. (See catalog for allowable deviation from horizontal.)

4. Lamp must be turned off for a minimum of fifteen minutes at least once a week.

5. Never expose 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. Replace lamp at or before the end of rated life. (See catalog for rated life.)

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 INJURY FROM SHORTWAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION. IT

MUST BE OPERATED IN AN ENCLOSED

FIXTURE WHICH FILTERS OUT THE HARMFUL SHORTWAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION. IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN, CONTACT YOUR FIXTURE MANUFACTURER.

A power interlock device is required to automatically turn off the lamp if the fixture assembly is opened. It is strongly recommended that a power interlock device

also turn off power to the lamp if the fixture lens is broken. If the fixture lens breaks and the lamp remains on, turn off power immediately and repair before re-

energizing.

This lamp is to be used

ONLY in a fixture specifically designed for use with this lamp and recommended 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 lamp without undue pressure.

2. Ensure that lamp electrical connections are secure and nothing is touching bulb.

3. All seal gaskets and wire insulation must be shielded from the UV radiation produced by this lamp.

4. Fixture wiring must have a temperature rating of 250° C and a minimum voltage rating of 600 V RMS for all lamps except the 1500T7 lamp which must have

a voltage rating of 1500V RMS.

5. 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.
