Replacing UV lamps
The transilluminator is originally equipped with
302 nm UV lamps. If 254 nm wavelength is
required, replace all lamps with 254 nm lamps
of the specified wattage.
Visually check that all lamps are illuminated.
If one or more lamps are burned out, it is
recommended that all lamps be replaced at the
same time to ensure even light intensity. To
replace each lamp:
1
Caution!
Turn the unit off and disconnect the power
cord from the mains power.
2
Remove the filter/cover by unscrewing the four
retainer screws located on the sides of the cover.
3
If present, remove the tape that secures the lamps
during shipping. Remove each lamp by carefully
rotating it ¼ turn and then carefully pulling it upward.
4
To insert the new lamp, hold it so that the metal pins
at the end are vertical. Place the lamp in the socket
and lightly push it up into place. Rotate the tube ¼
turn until it locks into place.
5
Replace the filter/cover and screw in the retainer
screws.
