MAINTENANCE Continued
UVC/UVGI Lamps Replacement
The UVC/UVGI lamps have a useful life of 10,000 hours. This is just over 12 months of
24/7 illumination. In the Bio Cart, they will not be on continuously, but turning them
OFF and ON can sometimes reduce their useful life. Use the observation window in
the Bottom of the Air Scrubber section to verify that the bulbs are both operating.
The tablet will issue a message when the UVC lamps are due to be changed.
To replace the UVC/UVGI Bulbs, unplug both power cords for the UVC/UVGI power
boxes, just above the Bulb Viewing window. Remove the 4- screws on the power unit
to be re-lamped, and carefully remove the box and the bulb. Press the Red Release
button on the bulb socket and dispose of the bulb in the proper manner for other
Fluorescent bulbs with mercury. It is best to replace both bulbs at the same time.
Do NOT touch the glass on the new bulb with your hands, oil from your fingers will
cause local heating and early failure of the bulb. Use rubber gloves or other means to
hold the new bulb, press it into the socket and be sure it is secure.
Install the power box into the air scrubber section using the 4 screws removed earlier.
The far end of the bulb must rest on a support bracket on the wall of the Bio Cart
HEPA-UVC 13LT. Verify that the end of the bulb is on that bracket when reinstalling it.
When both units are installed, plug them in to the electrical outlet.
