Turning On the Mercury Burner
· Set the main switch of the power supply unit to " " (ON). The
arc will stabilize in 5 to 10 minutes after ignition.
# Some mercury burners may not ignite the first time the
power is turned ON due to variance in production, and
the safety mechanism in the starter of the power supply
unit is activated to reset the starter in such a case. If this
occurs, set the main switch to "
insert a thin object such as a mechanical pencil tip into
the starter reset hole 1 on the right panel of the power
supply unit to press the internal switch, and set the main
switch to " " (ON) again.
# To avoid shortening the power supply unit's operating
life, avoid turning power on while the burner is not
mounted or turning power on and off within short time
intervals.
# To avoid shortening the burner life, do not turn the
burner off within 15 minutes after ignition. Use the
shutter instead.
# After the burner is turned off, it cannot be re-ignited
before the mercury vapor cools and condenses to
liquid. Wait about 10 minutes before restarting the
burner.
If the lamp housing is opened while the burner is ignited,
the safety interlock will activate and switch off the power
automatically. In this case, set the main switch to "
(OFF) and wait for more than 10 minutes before restarting
the burner. The lamp housing can be opened only after
it has cooled down fully.
When resetting the hour counter, be sure to press the
reset button until "0.0" is displayed.
When the hour counter indicates "100.0", set the main
switch to "
" (OFF) for safety, wait for more than 10
minutes, then replace the lamp burner after making sure
that the lamp housing has cooled down.
A mercury burner seals high-pressure gas inside. If
the burner is used beyond its service life, stress may
accumulate inside the burner, and in the worst (but
very rare) case, the burner could explode.
