WARNING: Never look at operating Lamp! The light could severely damage the cornea and retina of the eye if the light is observed directly. Eye shielding must be used at all times as well as clothing to protect exposed skin Refer to user guide for more details.

Installing the Lamp Module

The OmniCure® S1500 curing system is available configured in two different versions. One version is for standard curing and one version is for surface curing. The appropriate type of lamp must be installed depending on which configuration your S1500 is set.

Be sure the AC power cord is disconnected from the unit.
Remove the screw from the lamp access side panel using the tool provided and remove the panel from the unit cover.
Carefully remove the lamp module from its container, holding only the ceramic component and glass rim
As illustrated to the right, position the lamp facing towards the front of the unit with the power leads facing towards you.
Caution: Do not touch the bulb’s glass envelope or the inside surface of the reflector. Skin oils can cause the lamp module to fail prematurely.
Make sure the middle of the lamp is in position to fit into the spring clamp. Slide the lamp until it snaps into the spring clamp. The leading edge of the reflector should fit snugly into the lamp holder recess. Locate the 4-pin Intelli-Lamp sensor connector at the rear of the lamp module and connect it to its mate located on the top of the lamp-housing wall. Tip: the Intelli-lamp connector will only attach in the correct orientation.
If you are having difficulty attaching the connector, try rotating it by 180º.
Locate the Power connector with two leads and connect it to its mate located on the bottom of the lamp-housing wall.
Tip: the Lamp Power connector will only attach in the correct orientation. If you are having difficulty inserting the connector, try rotating it by 180º.
It is very important to ensure that the lamp anode cooling fin (bar) and lamp power lead, at the front of the lamp are centered within the lamp holder cutout. Rotate the lamp as required.
Replace the lamp housing side panel and tighten the fastening screw.
Note 1: if the lamp housing panel is not secured completely, the lamp will not strike and the “bulb” message will display when power is turned on to the unit.
Note 2: if the wrong type of lamp has been installed in your unit, the message “E1” will appear on the LED display.

Exposure to Mercury represents a health hazard to humans. When unpacking or installing the lamp, always wear protective clothing and a face mask.
