Operating time of the UVC tubes
UVC tubes have a limited life span. They are subject to a continuous aging
process. The life of a UVC tube is, with normal usage, ca 12,000 h (Output 25 %
±5 %
To the nominal UVC emissions of the respective UVC source).
The effective radiation is far outside the visible range, and the UVC emissions
decreases continuously. It is recommended to add the operating conditions and
replacement date in a maintenance plan.
Checking the O-rings when replacing tubes
While replacing tubes, check the seals, clean them, and replace
them if damaged.
In order to prevent fingerprints and fat traces on the tube, we recommend to always wear cloth gloves
when working with the tubes.
