Checking and replenishing the lamp coolant
Materials required:
• Lamp coolant additive (REF
04533710, PN B01-4496-51)
• Deionized water
Time: 5 minutes
Analyzer mode: READY
BIOHAZARD
Wear personal protective equipment.
Use universal precautions.
The lamp is cooled by circulating liquid coolant. As the volume of coolant decreases, the
heat of the lamp increases.
NOTE: Check the lamp coolant level daily and whenever the system generates a lamp
coolant warning and turns off the lamp.
1. Lift off the lamp access cover (
1) to gain access to the lamp coolant reservoir.

2. Check the fluid level in the reservoir.
If the level is between the 5- and 9-cm marks, the label is green on the reservoir, proceed
to step 4.
