SPECORD PLUS
Care and maintenance
33
Switching the SPECORD PLUS on and off frequently reduces the service life of the lamps,
especially the UV lamp due to its relatively high ignition voltage. A criterion for the ser-
vice life of the UV lamp is that the radiation intensity may have dropped to 50 % after
1000 h if switched once per day.
