Exposure to Mercury represents a health hazard to humans: When
unpacking or installing the lamp, always wear protective clothing and a face
mask. Operate lamp only in the S2000 Elite lamp housing. This prevents direct

for a minimum of 30 minutes. Before cleaning up, ensure an approved
mercury respirator mask and non-porous gloves such as latex or rubber are

should be collected with the use of a special absorbing agent available from
laboratory equipment suppliers.
