Problem: Lamp failure.

    Diagnostic :
  • A continuum or arc lamp was switched on, but no corresponding "ON" signal in PMAS Status Window, box "LIGHT".

    Explanation :
  • The lamp may be dead, the lamp sensor failing, or the lamp shutter disfunctional.

    Solution :
  • Take a test exposure to verify that the lamp, in fact, is not operational.
  • If so, lamp no. 2 and 4 may be switched against the corresponding spare lamps on-the-fly, use buttons of lamp GUI.
  • Lamp 1 and 6 have no built-in spare subsystems. Call staff for lamp replacement.
