2 - Safety Precautions

The following instructions must be adhered to, in order to ensure a safe working environment

and the safety of the user.

Note: When unpacking or manoeuvring the searchlight into its fixing position, the lifting

handles must be used in order to prevent damage to the equipment or personal injury.

Because of the high internal pressure within the lamp, there is a risk of explosion in either a

hot or cold state;

During operation this lamp emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and

skin. Suitable protection should be worn;

The high luminance of the arc can cause severe damage to the eye if viewed directly.

ALWAYS wear suitable protective goggles when viewing the lamp;

Always use protective jackets supplied with the lamp;

Should it be necessary to examine the lamp with the front bezel removed, always use a

protective shield and wear goggles to ensure a safe working environment;

Searchlights get hot. Never touch the unit when lit and always allow 15 to 20 minutes for

cooling down after turning the searchlight off;

Never place anything on or cover the searchlight when in use;

Ensure the lamp has cooled sufficiently before removal;

If undue force appears necessary to remove the lamp, the equipment should be inspected

by a competent person or contact the manufacturer;

When disposing of lamps there are several options available:

Return the lamp, via the supplier, to the lamp manufacturer in its complete

packaging

Because of the cold internal pressure of the lamp is approximately 8 bar,

the lamp must first be depressurised before disposal. Place the lamp, in its

protective jacket, in a plastic bag and drop from a height of 1 to 2 metres

onto a hard surface;

XBO lamps do not contain materials which are harmful to the environment and thus are not

subject to special waste disposal regulations;

Due to the vast range of lamps available it may appear possible that more powerful lamps

can be used in the equipment than for which it was designed. Even when the unit will

physically accept a higher wattage lamp, this substitution is not recommended and is

dangerous. This action will also void any warranties on the equipment.

Always refer to the lamp manufacturer’s technical data when dealing with lamps.
