Never touch the glass bulb or shaft of the lamp with bare fingers. IF TOUCHED, THE GLASS MUST BE CLEANED before using with a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol (spirit) to remove oils left from the skin. If fingerprints are not removed, the skin oils can cause the lamp to discolor and fog, weakening the quartz glass and can even cause the glass to fracture, rendering the lamp inoperable and increasing the risk of the lamp exploding. For safety reasons, replace the XBO lamp at the end of its rated life (400 hrs) as there is increased risk of the lamp exploding if used longer. Do not look at the lamp directly. Recycling: The lamp manufacturer recommends recycling of spent lamps. Check your local Environmental Laws to determine how to recycle. Corporate Headquarters 45 Banfi Plaza Farmingdale New York 11735 © Bulbtronics 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED We recommend saving the lamp packaging, with its inserts, for reference or in the event that the lamp and /or unit need to be returned.(See Warranty requirements.) 2. Lamp Housing Glass Cover The XBO lamp that comes with the Lens Inspection unit generates UV which can have a detrimental effect on plastics, textiles and is potentially harmful to eyes and skin. The Glass Cover on the underside of the Lamp Housing is a special UV dichroic filter that blocks UV emissions. The glass cover also protects the user in case of catastrophic lamp failure. DO NOT OPERATE THE LENS INSPECTION QC X75 WITHOUT A GLASS COVER. If the glass breaks, order a replacement from Bulbtronics. Ordering code #0085692. 3. High Voltage Warning The Lens Inspection QC X75 sends out a high voltage ignition pulse which may damage sensitive electronic instruments. The use of this unit in the presence of integrated circuitry or CCD cameras is at user’s own risk. In the event of a power surge and the built-in circuit breaker is tripped, reset by pressing the rocker switch, located on the back of the base next to the electric cord connection. MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Lamp Housing and Base The lamp housing is designed to permit air flow to dissipate heat generated by the lamp. KEEP APERTURES IN HOUSING OPEN AND DUST FREE to prevent the lamp from overheating which would shorten the life of the lamp. The base houses the electrical components. Please be sure to keep the area under and around the base dust and dirt-free. Keep the visual area on top of the base clean and free from dust and dirt so as not to compromise quality control results. Use a dry, lint-free cloth. 2. Glass Cover (on underside of Lamp Housing) Remove the glass cover (UV dichroic filter) periodically to clean to ensure optimal brightness and to ensure that the imperfections that show up on the lamp base are from the product being inspected, not from dust and dirt particles in the environment. Use a lint-free cloth and alcohol (spirit) to clean both sides of the glass. To remove the glass cover, gently slide out. To reinsert after cleaning, reverse the process.
