WARNING
UV light emitted from this product. Avoid eye and skin exposure to unshielded
products.
FOR PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATION USE ONLY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Read all instructions prior to lamp usage)
- Never use this lamp in any manner not specified in these instructions.
- Do not use if a tube, cord or plug is not fully serviceable.
- We recommend using Spectroline UV-absorbing protective eye and face wear (i.e., UVS-30 spectacles, UVG-50 goggles or UVF-80 face shield).
- FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY
OPERATION
- Connect the plug to a power outlet that complies with the electrical requirements specified on the lamp’s label. The E-Series lamps are available in 120V/60Hz, 230V/50Hz, 240V/50Hz or 100V/50-60Hz versions.
- The power supply cord is the disconnect for this unit.
- To turn on the 120V and 100V models, press and hold the dimple on the rocker switch(es) for approximately 5 seconds to power the tube(s). To power the 230V/FE and FBE and 240V/FA models, press the rocker switch to the ON (I) position. The 230V models designed to produce two wavelengths have a 3-position power switch. The tube(s) should become energized and emit a steady light. The light may initially flicker, especially if the lamp is cold, but should stabilize after a few seconds.
- To turn off the 120V and 100V models, press down on the opposite side of the switch. Press the rocker switch to the OFF (O) position on the 230V and 240V models.
NOTE: For even greater comfort and convenience, all E-Series hand lamps are now equipped with a carrying handle. To increase fluorescent contrast, all 4-, 5-, and 6-watt E-Series lamps may be used with Spectroline CM-Series UV viewing cabinets.
OPERATOR SERVICING
The following servicing instructions are intended for limited maintenance of the lamp. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in these instructions. Return the lamp to the factory for maintenance not covered in this section.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the lamp from its power
source before cleaning or servicing.
HOUSING AND FILTER MAINTENANCE
The aluminum lamp housing is designed for protection of the internal parts.
Using a soft cloth, immediately clean spills from the housing with water and a
mild detergent and wipe dry. Take care not to allow any liquids to leak into
electrical components. Periodically clean the filter with a glass cleaner and
a soft cloth.
TUBE AND REFLECTOR MAINTENANCE
To clean the tubes and/or reflectors, remove the tubes according to the
instructions outlined in the ‘‘TUBE REPLACEMENT’’ section below. Using a soft
cloth, the reflectors may be cleaned with a glass cleaner, while the tubes may
be cleaned with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
TUBE REPLACEMENT
If a tube fails to operate correctly, review the procedures outlined in the
‘‘OPERATION’’ section. If the problem persists and it is found necessary to
replace a tube, unplug the lamp from its power source before proceeding.
- Lay the lamp housing on a flat, level surface.
- Remove the 2 screws that secure the endcap opposite the power cordset. For lamps without a filter, proceed to Step #4.
- Slide the filter assembly off the lamp housing’s open end, and set aside.
- Grasp the tube by the metal bases located at each end. Applying even pressure, gently rotate the tube a quarter of a turn until it loosens. The tube may now be easily removed from its sockets.
- Install the new tube by reversing the above procedure.
- Where applicable, replace the filter assembly by reversing the procedure in Step #3.
- Replace the endcap removed in Step #2 and test the function of the new tube.
- If installation of the new tube fails to yield correct lamp operation, check to make sure the two pins at each end of the tube are properly connected with the two copper contacts in each socket.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
If it is necessary to replace the filter assembly, follow Step #3 in the
‘‘TUBE REPLACEMENT’’ section to remove the old filter. Install the new filter
by reversing this procedure.
