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 reenergizing.
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.
5. Never install it into a fixture designed for use with tungsten halogen lamps.
6. Do not expose operating lamp to moisture (such as rain, sleet or snow).
7. Replace lamp if outer glass bulb has been scratched, cracked, or damaged in any way.
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.

SOX LAMPS
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE COMPLIED WITH TO AVOID RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND POOR LAMP PERFORMANCE
I. BURNS AND FIRE HAZARD:
Sox lamps contain a quantity of sodium which may heat from a reaction with moisture in the air or on the skin if a lamp is broken. Hot sodium will burn spontaneously
when exposed to the air. Sodium lamps must be packed, shipped, and stored in the wrapping provided to reduce the risk of breakage.
II.
IMPLOSION HAZARD:
Always wear safely glasses when handling lamp. Low pressure sodium lamps are made of glass and are evacuated and could therefore implode if damaged or
handled incorrectly. Replace lamp if outer glass bulb has been scratched, cracked, or damaged in any way. To reduce the possibility of a lamp cracking or breaking,
do not expose operating lamp to rain, snow, or water.
III. ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND BURN HAZARD:
Do not remove or insert lamp when power is on. If outer glass bulb is broken, shut off power immediately and remove lamp after it has cooled.
IV. OPERATE WITH COMPATIBLE BALLAST AND FIXTURE ONLY:
This lamp must be operated in a fixture and ballast which was specifically designed for use with this lamp.
V. INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. When operated in other than the base up orientation, single-based "SOX" lamps of from 35 watts to 180 watts must be supported at the end opposite to the
base in such a way as to allow for thermal expansion and contraction along the lamp axis.
2. Install lamp firmly but not forcibly into socket to avoid breakage.
3. For maximum system performance, replace lamp at or before end of rated life. (See catalog for rated life.)
4. Only operate lamps in designated operating positions. (See catalog for illustration.)
VI. LAMP DISPOSAL:
To avoid the risk of personal injury or property damage from sodium reaction when disposing of spent lamps, the following procedure should be followed:
1. Before commencing, operator must be outfitted with appropriate OSHA-approved face mask, gloves and apron.
2. Place no more than 20 lamp(s) in a large, dry container. (Do not exceed one-quarter of the container height.)
3. Break lamp(s) into small pieces inside the container in a dry atmosphere and in a well ventilated area.
4. From a safe distance, carefully pour enough tap water into container to cover all materials.
5. After a few minutes, the reaction of the sodium with the large quantity of water will produce a mild sodium hydroxide solution which may be disposed of in
accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations.
