METALARC ® BRITELINE, F-Type <strong>Lamp</strong><br />
ANSI Luminaire Code F<br />
ENCLOSED FIXTURE with UV<br />
filter <strong>and</strong> lens interlock required<br />
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE COMPLIED WITH TO AVOID RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND POOR LAMP PERFORMANCE.<br />
I. RUPTURE RISKS: This Metal Halide lamp is constructed with a quartz arc-tube which operates at high pressure <strong>and</strong> at very high temperatures. <strong>The</strong> arc-tube can<br />
unexpectedly rupture due to internal causes or external factors such as a ballast failure or misapplication resulting in the discharge of glass fragments <strong>and</strong><br />
extremely hot particles. In the event of such rupture, THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE.<br />
H<br />
I<br />
D<br />
TO REDUCE THESE RISKS:<br />
1. Only operate lamp in an enclosed fixture with a lens/diffuser material able to contain hot lamp fragments (up to 2012°F, 1100°C). If you are uncertain,<br />
contact your fixture manufacturer.<br />
2. Only operate lamp with compatible ballast <strong>and</strong> fixture. (See catalog for specific information.)<br />
3. Only operate lamp in horizontal position. (See catalog for allowable deviation from horizontal.)<br />
4. <strong>Lamp</strong> must be turned off for a minimum of fifteen minutes at least once a week.<br />
5. Never expose operating lamp to moisture (such as rain, sleet or snow).<br />
6. Replace lamp if bulb is scratched, cracked or damaged in any way.<br />
7. Keep all metals at least 3 inches from the body of the arc tube to avoid glass decomposition.<br />
8. Replace lamp at or before the end of rated life. (See catalog for rated life.)<br />
II.<br />
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION HAZARD: THIS LAMP EMITS ULTRAVIOLET (UV) POWER DURING OPERATION AND IS IN RISK GROUP 3 PER ANSI-IESNA Rp-27.3-<br />
96. THIS LAMP CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SKIN BURN AND EYE INJURY FROM SHORTWAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION. IT MUST BE OPERATED IN AN ENCLOSED<br />
FIXTURE WHICH FILTERS OUT THE HARMFUL SHORTWAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION. IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN, CONTACT YOUR FIXTURE MANUFACTURER.<br />
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<br />
also turn off power to the lamp if the fixture lens is broken. If the fixture lens breaks <strong>and</strong> the lamp remains on, turn off power immediately <strong>and</strong> repair before reenergizing.<br />
This lamp is to be used ONLY in a fixture specifically designed for use with this lamp <strong>and</strong> recommended for its use by the equipment manufacturer.<br />
III. ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND BURN HAZARD: Do not remove or insert lamp while power is on. Allow lamp to cool before removing.<br />
IV. LAMP INSTALLATION AND FIXTURE: Do not remove lamp from package until ready for use <strong>and</strong> then h<strong>and</strong>le only with clean cotton gloves. If lamp is h<strong>and</strong>led,<br />
fingerprints, grease or oils may be removed from the bulb by wiping with alcohol. This will remove materials which cause whitish spotting (devitrification) <strong>and</strong><br />
premature lamp failure. Dry lamp carefully with clean cotton cloth.<br />
1. Install lamp without undue pressure.<br />
2. Ensure that lamp electrical connections are secure <strong>and</strong> nothing is touching bulb.<br />
3. All seal gaskets <strong>and</strong> wire insulation must be shielded from the UV radiation produced by this lamp.<br />
4. Fixture wiring must have a temperature rating of 250° C <strong>and</strong> a minimum voltage rating of 600 V RMS for all lamps except the 1500T7 lamp which must have<br />
a voltage rating of 1500V RMS.<br />
5. For maximum performance, all double-ended lamps must be operated with the arc-tube tip up.<br />
V. BROKEN ARC-TUBE: Take care in h<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong> disposing of this lamp. If arc-tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the contents <strong>and</strong> fragments. See<br />
Product Safety Data Sheet for further details.<br />
