Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Replacing the Strobe Tube

SHOCK HAZARD: Strobe systems generate high voltages.
Disconnect power from the strobe system and wait at least 5
minutes before opening the light. Do not apply power to the light
while it is open. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
HANDLE STROBE LAMPS CAREFULLY: Strobe lamps get hot
enough to burn you. Always allow these lamps to cool before
handling them. Strobe lamps are also pressurized and, if broken,
can result in flying glass. Failure to follow this warning may result
in personal injury.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE: The circuitry of this warning light
can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always follow
anti-static procedures while replacing the strobe tube.
As strobe lights are used, the strobe tubes begin to darken, causing
the light output to decrease. This darkening is characteristic of strobe
tubes. The darkening will begin near the base of the tube and progress
upward. In addition, as strobe tubes age, they may have a tendency to
misfire (not fire periodically).

After extended operation, occasionally check for strobe tube
degradation. Should the strobe tube misfire, have a noticeable
decrease in light output, glow continuously or darken to a point
