2 EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 4
General Precautions
The output beam from the EQ-99 should be blocked when not in use with an electronic
shutter or other appropriate beam blocking device. Due to the possibility of generating ozone
when ambient oxygen is exposed to short wavelength light, the beam should always be
enclosed in an appropriate beam pipe, tube, or enclosed space. We suggest purging any beam
transport space with dry nitrogen gas.
The EQ-99 source must also be cabled correctly and connected to a socket with a protective
earth ground prior to operation.
Refer to the Installation section of this manual (Chapter 3) for details of the facilities
connections.
Other than a bulb replacement, there are no user-serviceable parts inside the EQ-99. For any
problems encountered during operation, please contact Energetiq Technology for assistance.
If there is a component failure, do not attempt to open the Power Supply Controller or
Lamp House enclosure of the EQ-99.
The EQ-99 utilizes a quartz lamp containing a high-pressure gas fill. Explosion of the
lamp and possible injury from flying fragments can occur if the lamp is mishandled.
Do not open the enclosure of either the Lamp House enclosure or the Power Supply
Controller. Dangerous invisible infrared laser beams and hazardous voltages exist
inside the units. Opening the chassis both voids the warranty and exposes the user to
dangerous radiation and hazardous voltages.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
