How to install the xenon lamp in the manua l S/M La mp House?
1. Install the lamp cathode adapter on the cathode of the xenon lamp. Note that som e xenon lamps have a cathode pin with screw
threat (reference 10 imag e 4-27). Screw the adaptor on the anode pin as far as possible. Make sure that there is full contact
between the adapter flat surface and the lamp base. Fasten the s et screw (reference 9 im age 4-27) of the cathode adapter with
a torque of 2.5Nm ( 1.84 lbf*ft). Use a torque wrench with a 5mm Allen socket.
Caution: Ensure that the adaptor is c lean. Periodically clean the adapter. Remove oxide from silver plated adaptor with
standard household metal polish (E.g. Brasso).
