Care and Maintenance
To insure maximum light output of the system, all components must be clean. Dirt on the lamp
and reflector will reduce the ultraviolet intensity by absorbing ultraviolet energy and turning it into
unwanted infrared energy. Lamps and reflectors should be inspected and cleaned at least once
each month. If conditions are extremely bad, cleaning may be required more often.
Lamps should be handled only when cool and with clean cotton gloves;
do not touch the lamp
with bare hands. Oils on your hands will etch the quartz glass, and create hot spots on the
lamp, and can reduce lamp life.
