Leica EL6000 – Replacing the Lamp
The procedure for replacing the lamp does not
differ from the installation procedure outlined
on Page 57, except for the fact that the existing
lamp has to be removed first.
Replacing the lamp
The lamp used in the instrument
becomes very hot during operation and
has high internal pressure when hot. Before
changing the lamp, it is mandatory to allow the
instrument to cool off for at least 20 minutes.
1. Pull the power plug out of the socket, so
that the EL6000 is disconnected from the
power system.
2. Unscrew both screws of the cover using a
3 mm Allen key.
3. Remove the housing cover.
4. Carefully lay the Leica EL6000 on its side so
that the opening faces you.
This makes it easier to insert the lamp.
5. Pull the pressure bolt back towards the
front plate using the lever.
6. Pull out the lamp and disconnect the plug
from the coupling in the instrument.
7. Install the new lamp as outlined on Page 58,
beginning with item 6.
