Versatile
U.V. Irradiation Instrument utilizing three (3) channel design, allowing
easy control of the UV light intensity as well as UV bulb exchange
and UV
bulb service
life monitoring. This product is an important addition to our existing
product line, which already includes UV Cuvettes.
UV 4-8-12W/12VDC
Instrument Description
Front Panel (left
to right)
- Toggle switches
(numbered left to right)
- #1 turns “ON” the
first UV bulb closest to the front of the unit
- #2 operates
the lower middle bulb of the unit
- #3 operates
the UV bulb to the rear of the unit
- Digital Hour Meter
(EEPROM memory) showing the service hours of the UV bulbs
- Cooling fan provides
ample air flow to cool electronics as well as the UV bulbs
- Main power switch
The Lid:
- When the lid is
closed, the pin located at the bottom side of the lid activates the
built-in safety micro-switch, which turns “ON” pre-selected
UV bulbs.
Back Panel:
- 12VDC power jack
(center positive) / 1.5Amp
UV Wavelength Selection
The UV instrument
is designed to accept up to three (3) UV bulbs. The
selection of the UV bulbs installed and their configuration must match
the
requirements of the application targeted. In general, UV-C is best for
destruction of bacteria and viruses and UV-A is often used in combination
with UV-C for special applications. UV-B bulbs are available upon special
request.
UV Intensity Selection
The regulation of UV light intensity is done by selectively turning “ON” the
toggle switches (#1, #2 and #3). Each toggle switch is operated independently
of the other, or all three can be turned “ON” at the same time.
The greatest intensity of UV light of a specific wavelength will be obtained
if:
- All three UV bulbs
will have the same UV wavelength
- All three bulbs
will be activated / turned “ON”
Modes of operation:
- 4 Watt: "A" or "C"
- 8 Watt: "A-A" or "A-C" or "C-C"
- 12 Watt: "A-A-A" or "A-A-C" or "A-C-C" or "C-C-C"
Changing the UV
Bulb:
To change the UV bulb grasp the bulb at each metallic end (with the machine
turned “OFF”) and slightly twist the bulb to remove it from the
slot. The installation of the UV bulb is done by sliding the UV bulb pins (located
at each end) into the UV bulb socket, and gently rotating the bulb 90° (axially).
A special care should be taken not to touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers as this can deposit oils on the glass and shorten the life of
the UV bulb.
Important Note: Due
to a frequent switching “ON/OFF” of the UV bulbs, the service
life of UV bulbs is greatly diminished. This is caused by a surge of
an electrical current that wears out the elements in the UV bulb(s).
For the above outlined reasons it is recommended to change the UV bulbs
in regular intervals, which would not exceed 300 hours. UV bulbs can
be marked (on the metallic end caps) using the permanent marker. Such
UV bulb identification along with the written log will help prevent
confusion when using bulbs with various UV wavelengths, and will help
to keep a track of the total amount of service hours logged by different
UV bulbs.
