5. Because the UV probe is sensitive to humidity changes, the environment in which it is stored is important. When not in use for a long time, be sure to store the instrument in a low humidity environment.
6. When the instrument displays low battery, replace the battery

China National Standard

1. WS/T 367-2012 “Regulation of Disinfection Technique in Healthcare Settings” Page 15, Appendix A.3 Effect monitoring of ultraviolet disinfection.
2. The 2009 version of “Technical Specifications for Disinfection in Hospitals” Page 9, 2.3 UV disinfection.
3. Ultraviolet germicidal lamp GB19258-2003 Page 4, rated value of ultraviolet radiation intensity.

The above three national standards stipulate the following:

1. The peak wavelength of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp (low-pressure mercury lamp) is 253.7nm,which has a germicidal function.
2. The radiation intensity of the new 30W straight tube ultraviolet lamp is greater than 100μW/cm2 as qualified.
3. The radiation intensity of the 30W straight tube ultraviolet lamp in use is greater than 70μW/cm2 as qualified.
4. Different powers and different shapes of ultraviolet lamps have different radiation intensity values that are judged to be qualified.
5. The UV probe is placed at the center of the tested ultraviolet lamp at a vertical distance of 1 meter

UV scale hook

In order to comply with UV germicidal lamp national standards, the UV light meter must be located at a vertical one meter below the middle of a lamp tube to measurement. Our company also provides UV scale hooks, which is 1m long. Place the instrument as shown below and hang it directly onto the lamp to facilitate on-site measurement of UV intensity.

The length of the hook after stretching’s is 1m

Special instructions for germicidal lamp measurement

1. Determining whether UV lamp power is up to standard
   In order to meet the requirements of disinfection regulations, the automatic shutdown time is not less than 5 minutes. It is recommended to set the automatic shutdown time to 10 minutes. The instrument can (1 to 10 minutes optional) automatically power off, data recorded before automatic shutdown.

   • No.1 recorded data is the latest recorded data. The curve is drawn based on historical data stored every 1 second. PREC is the power value of the last shutdown time, which is used to determine whether the germicidal lamp is qualified.
   • The tester places the instrument in the manner required by the test standard, turns on the instrument, and turns on the germicidal lamp before leaving the site. After the disinfection is completed, turn off the UV lamp (the disinfection time is generally much longer than 10 minutes, and the instrument has been automatically shut down at this time). The tester enters the site to turn on the instrument, and the data displayed on the instrument is the last measuring data
     
     

2. Monitor UV lamp power by APP via Bluetooth communication
   The mobile APP is used to communicate with the instrument in real time. The data measured by the meter is sent to the mobile APP through Bluetooth, so that the user can monitor the power data of the UV lamp wirelessly. If the instrument automatically powers off during the measurement, the data of the mobile APP will not be updated. If it is necessary to continuously wirelessly monitor the instrument data with Bluetooth, the “Auto off” should be set OFF. At that time, the instrument is always as the active status and will not automatically shut down.

3. Data storage function
   When “Auto off” set ON, the data storage interval fixed to 1 second. The data storage time (Shutdown time) can be set from 1 to10 minutes.

   • The instrument can record up to 25 records. No.1 is the latest record. Record data without loss when power off.
   • In the manual shutdown mode (Auto Off = OFF), the storage interval 1s/10s/60s correspond to the recording period 10 minutes/100 minutes/600 minutes, respectively. This facilitates to record the power value of the UV lamp for a long time.
