==== Protocol ==== # Power off and disconnect power cable from the power supply box. # Loosen two screws BEHIND the collector lens, on each side of the housing. ## Look for these two screws inside slots in the housing. ## All the steps after this will be easier if you take the bulb housing out of the plexiglass housing and place it on the bench. # Loosen screw on top of vent. # Pull up on the vent to remove the bulb fixture. Lay the fixture on its side. Make sure the bulb is not hot. # Loosen the thumb screws on either side of the bulb. ## Be careful not to apply torque to the bulb itself as it breaks easily. Hold the fixture while turning the screws. # Remove the old bulb and insert the new one. Note that one end is fat and one end is skinny. The skinny end fits into the heat exchanger (fins). ## DO NOT TOUCH THE BULB ITSELF. Use gloves and hold it near the electrodes, not the bulb. A cloth is included with the bulb to wipe off any smudges. ## Smudges on the bulb will create imaging artifacts. # Reverse these steps to reassemble. ## Only finger-tight on the bulb screws.
