4.23.1 Inserting the HBO 103 W/2 mercury vapor short-arc bulb
For safety reasons, the HBO 100 illuminator and the HBO 103 W/2 mercury vapor short-arc bulb are
packed separately.
The first step in setting up the illuminator is therefore to insert the HBO 103 W/2 bulb into the lamp
housing.
Instructions on inserting or replacing the HBO 103 W/2 bulb can be found in the operating manual
supplied with the illuminator.
An FL attenuator, discrete (manual or motorized) should be fitted into reflected-light
illuminator FL to change the transmission.
