Maintenance 8 Maintenance 8.1 Installing / replacing the illuminant DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages inside Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Completely disconnect the device from the power supply before you open or remove covers. Mount all covers and attach them firmly before connecting the device again. Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.
Maintenance WARNING! Danger of burns and eye injuries caused by high light intensity The light source used in this device produces visible and invisible light beams of high intensity. Never look directly into the light source. Do not use the device when covers, shieldings, lenses or other optical components are missing or damaged. In particular, avoid prolonged direct exposure of the skin during maintenance without adequate cover of the light source.
Maintenance Procedure 1. Remove one of the covers from the head of the unit. To do this, loosen the four cross-head screws using a suitable screwdriver. Then carefully remove the cover from the unit. 2. Tilt the head to the opposite side. Loosen the four Phillips screws and remove this cover also. 3.
