Imaging D A T A S H E E T Lighting Telecom Cermax® Xenon Arc Lamps PE300BF and PE300BUV CERMAX® XENON ARC LAMPS Description The Cermax® xenon arc lamp is an innovative lamp design in the specialty lighting industry. These lamps were introduced in the early 1980’s and are now used in endoscopes in most major hospitals worldwide, in high brightness projection display systems, and for a wide variety of other high performance applications. The PE300BF and PE300BUV Cermax® lamps have an integrated ell parabolic reflector, enabling high intensity, focused output of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation. With their internal reflector and rugged ceramic body construction, Cermax® lamps are the safest and most compact alternative to conventional quartz xenon lamps. This makes them ideal for applications that require a high degree of illumination control. Applications Current-regulated or power-regulated power supplies with output ripples of less than 5% are recommended. Single shot ignition pulses are advised because radio frequency starters may damage the lamps internal reflector. In addition to lamps, PerkinElmer Optoelectronics manufactures Cermax® arc lamp power supplies, lamp holders, OEM lighting systems, and fiber optic light sources. • Medical and industrial fiber optic illuminators • Machine vision • Infrared and visible spotlights/beacons • Spectroscopy • Microscopy • UV Curing • Video projection . www.perkinelmer.com/opto PE300BF and PE300BUV Operational Specifications Physical Specifications Description Nominal Range Description Specification Power 300 watts 180-320 watts Arc Gap Current 21 amps (DC) 10-22 amps (DC) .049 inch (1.24mm) Parabolic Y2 = 0.5 X (inch) Operating Voltage Ignition Voltage 14 volts (DC) 13-16 volts (DC) 23 kilovolts (recommended minimum) Temperature 150 Þ C (maximum) Lifetime* 1000 hours (500 hour warranty) 132 grams Window Diameter 1 inch (25.4 mm) Focused Output at F/1.0 Lens * End of lamp life is defined as 50% of initial output.

Hot mirror assembly is available for IR filtering. 6. CERMAX lamps are much safer lamps to use than their quartz xenon arc lamp equivalents. However, caution must be practiced when operating lamps because they are under high pressure, require high voltage, reach temperatures up to 200º C, and their IR and UV radiation can cause skin burns and eye damage.
