FLI Illuminator

Instructions for changing a lamp in an FLI Illuminator.

Illuminator access is generally through the back of the display or through access panels in the sides.

CAUTION: Disconnect the unit from power before servicing.


Step 1
lamp in socket & carriage


The lamp sits within a socket on the Illuminator chassis.

Step 2
carriage lever


Next to the lamp, and part of the carriage, is a lever.

Step 3
carriage lever back


Pulling back on this lever will lift the lamp up within its socket, making it easier to remove.

Step 4
removing lamp


Lift out and discard the old lamp from the socket and carriage.

Step 5
carriage lever forward


Push the carriage lever back to its original position to insure the new lamp will seat properly within the socket. Skipping this step could prevent the new lamp from lighting properly or cause the lamp socket to fail prematurely.

Step 6
new lamp in carriage


Slide the new lamp into the socket carriage until the lamp pins contact that top of the socket.

Step 7
lamp pins over socket


You may have to pull back on the ceramic socket for the lamp pins to enter their slots. Make sure both lamp pins are over both slots in the socket.

Step 8
new lamp inserted


Push downward on the lamp until it is fully seated within the socket & carriage.

Step 9
new lamp installed


Reinstall the display back or access panel and reconnect the unit to power.
