Pipettor head.
3.2.3
UV lamps
The EZ1 Advanced XL is equipped with 2 UV lamps, located under the blue EZ1 Advanced XL door.
The UV lamps can be manually switched on and off in a separate menu, as described later in this
manual (see Section 5.7.1).
Do not touch the UV lamp with your fingers since it may reduce the lamp’s lifetime. The EZ1
Advanced XL door will be locked during a UV light cycle in order to protect the operator from UV
radiation. The EZ1 Advanced XL will provide a warning when the lifetime of the lamp is going to
expire. Call QIAGEN Technical Services when a UV lamp needs to be replaced.
WARNING
UV radiation
Avoid looking directly into UV light. Do not expose your skin to UV light.
CAUTION
Damage to the instrument
The UV lamps need a minimum switch-on time of 20 minutes. Do not interrupt a
UV light cycle before 20 minutes have passed since it will reduce the lamp’s
lifetime.
