Maintenance
Note: Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or relamping the
byko-spectra lite!
Cleaning
The viewing area of the byko-spectra lite should be kept clean and free of samples,
notices, etc. To clean the neutral gray surface, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild
soap or detergent. For stubborn marks or stains, use a non-abrasive "soft-scrub"
type of cleaner. DO NOT use organic solvents on the surface.
When to Relamp the byko-spectra lite?
In order to maintain proper color quality and light intensity, the lamps should be
replaced after 2,500 hours use. The elapsed time tracker is connected to the
daylight. It is important to use a BYK-Gardner daylight source when relamping.
To order replacement lamps for your light booth, refer to the chapter 'Technical
Specifications' for a relamp kit code.
Relamping Procedure
Rotate the lamp 90 degrees to remove it from its lampholders. The tubular
incandescent lamp has a screw-type base, which unscrews like a standard
incandescent bulb. After removing the lamps, wipe the polished reflectors with a
soft, damp cloth, to remove any accumulated dust. Install the new lamps into their
appropriate sockets.
Fluorescent Lamp „Flicker" Note
The fluorescent lamps may flicker or „spiral" when new. This is a common
characteristic of new fluorescent lamps and does not indicate that the lamps
are defective. Normally, flickering gradually diminishes then disappears after
approximately 50 hours of operation. Flickering can be eliminated more rapidly by
1. turning the viewer on and off, rapidly, a few times or
2. by removing the lamps and reversing them end-to-end
so that the pins go into the opposite sockets.
Extended, or chronic flickering can also be a result of the viewer being connected
to an ungrounded outlet or to a „noisy" electrical circuit, e.g. a circuit with a
photocopier or other device with high power requirements connected to it. To
eliminate these causes of flicker, make certain that your viewer is connected or
wired to a properly grounded outlet or reconnect the viewer to another circuit which
is known not to have high-powered devices on it.
Fluorescent Lamp End Blackening
Ignition filament deposit during operation can cause lamp blackening (banding,
spots) at the ends. This is a normal condition and will not affect the light quality or
operational performance of your light booth.
Disposal
All fluorescent lamps contain small amounts of mercury. Please dispose of lamps
properly according to Federal, State, and Local regulations.
