7 Maintenance
Filter Glass and Reflector
Clean the filter glass every two months or as required. Product vapors can condense on
the glass over time, forming a film that can significantly reduce the transmittance of UV
light to the parts. Clean the aluminum reflector every four months or as required.
The reflector is accessed by removing the filter glass. Use Isopropyl alcohol and a clean,
soft cloth to clean both the reflector and glass.
Bulb and Sockets
Inspect the bulb sockets when installing a new bulb and replace if corroded. Heat
generated by poor connections can reduce bulb life.
Bulb should be replaced as required. It is recommended that the bulb output be
monitored regularly with a UV radiometer to insure that the product is being completely
cured.
As an alternative, regular inspection of the cured product may provide an indirect and
less accurate measure of bulb function.
If a UV radiometer is not used to track bulb life, the lamp should be replaced at least
after every 1,000 hours of operation.
