Warnings, Cautions and Operating Instructions
“WARNING: These lamps can cause serious skin burn and eye inflammation from
short wave ultraviolet radiation if outer envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured.
Do not use where people will remain for more than a few minutes unless adequate
shielding or other safety precautions are used. Certain lamps that will automatically
extinguish when the outer envelope is broken or punctured are commercially
available.” This lamp complies with FDA radiation performance standard 21 CFR
subchapter J.(USA:21CFR 1040.30 Canada:SOR/DORS/80-381)
If the outer bulb is broken or punctured, turn off at once and replace
the lamp to avoid possible injury from hazardous short wave ultraviolet
radiation. Do not scratch the outer bulb or subject it to pressure as this
could cause the outer bulb to crack or shatter. A partial vacuum in the
outer bulb may cause glass to fly if the envelope is struck.
WARNING: The arc-tube of metal halide lamps are designed to operate under high
pressure and at temperatures up to 1000º C and can unexpectedly rupture due to
internal or external factors such as a ballast failure or misapplication. If the arc-tube
ruptures for any reason, the outer bulb may break and pieces of extremely hot glass
might be discharged into the surrounding environment. If such a rupture were to
happen,THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BURNS AND FIRE.
Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner arc-tube
rupture occur are commercially available from Philips Lighting Company.
RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORE THE END OF RATED LIFE.
Allowing lamps to operate until they fail is not advised and may increase
the possibility of inner arc tube rupture.
This lamp contains an arc tube with a filling gas containing Kr-85 and is
distributed by Philips Lighting Company,a division of Philips Electronics
North America Corporation,Somerset, New Jersey, 08875.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE RESULTING FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE
FOLLOWING LAMP OPERA
TING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORE THE END OF RATED LIFE. Allowing lamps
to operate until they fail is not advised and may increase the possibility of inner
arc tube rupture.
2. Use only in fully enclosed fixtures capable of withstanding particles of glass
having temperatures up to 1000º C. Lens/diffuser material must be heat
resistant. Consult fixture manufacturer regarding the suitability of the fixture
for this lamp.
3. Do not operate a fixture with a missing or broken lens/diffuser.
4. Operate lamp only within specified limits of operating position.
5. Before lamp installation/replacement,shut power off and allow lamp and fixture
to cool to avoid electrical shock and potential burn hazards.
6. Use only auxiliary equipment meeting Philips and/or ANSI standards. Use within
voltage limits recommended by ballast manufacturer.
A.Operate lamp only within specified limits of operation.
B. For total supply load refer to ballast manufacturers electrical data.
C.Operate CDM-T (G12 base) and CDM-TC (G8.5 base) lamps only
on thermally protected ballasts.
D. Operate CDM-TC lamps (G8.5 base) only on electronic ballasts.
7. Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any lamps that show scratches,
cracks or damage.
8. If a lamp bulb support is used,be sure to insulate the support electrically to avoid
possible decomposition of the bulb glass.
9. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture,corrosive atmospheres and
excessive heat.
10. Time should be allowed for lamps to stabilize in color when turned on for the
first time. This may require several hours of operation,with more than one start.
Lamp color is also subject to change under conditions of excess vibration or
shock,and color appearance may vary between individual lamps.
11. Lamps may require 4 to 8 minutes to re-light if there is a power interruption.
12.Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an arc tube is broken,avoid skin
contact with any of the contents or fragments.
