REA VeriCube UV
The REA VeriCube UV has an ultraviolet illumination as an alternative to the red light
illumination with 660 nm. For this alternative illumination there are arranged 16 UV-
LEDs with a wavelength of 365 nm in the unit.
This applies to VeriCube devices with UV illumination
Devices can be identified by a warning sign:
Please read this manual completely before you start using the device!
Please pay particular attention to the safety instructions for the REA
VeriCube UV in chapter 4.1General safety + 4.2Additional safety
instructions for REA VeriCube UV
With REA VeriCube UV the irradiation values according to EN 62471:2008 for the skin
directly on the device are exceeded. For longer-term work at the radiation source it is
therefore recommended to wear opaque clothing and gloves. During operation,
please always cover the field of view with the black plate or black cover cloth after
the object has been positioned.
The Level correction when adjusting this type of test instrument differs from the
standard procedure. The greyscale card must be used here instead of the luminance
card. Please refer to the note in chapter Level adjustment procedure for this type of
verifier.
Attention
should be paid to the fact, that upon UV illumination, dirt will get visible,
that was invisible with natural light before, like for example thin layers of fat,
fingerprints etc.
Extremely precise attention to cleanliness is a prerequisite
for reproducible measurements.
It is recommended to always wear gloves (e.g. Monochrom article no.: 5241L) when
handling the device in order to avoid contamination of the verifier, the calibration /
adjustment cards and the measuring objects.
