E/12-Series Portable UV Hand Lamps
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all operating instructions before using a Spectroline E/12-Series portable UV hand lamp.
This lamp produces ultraviolet radiation that can be hazardous to the eyes and/or skin. Use of Spectroline UV-absorbing
protective eye and face wear is recommended. See ordering information. This eye and face wear also improves contrast
between the fluorescent area and the background and eliminates ‘‘blue haze’’ interference. Protective clothing should be used
when skin is exposed to short or medium wave UV.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
1. Carefully unpack and inspect the lamp for possible damage in shipment. If any damage is noted, immediately notify the
carrier and supplier
before
attempting to use the lamp.
2. Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storing and shipping of the lamp.
INTRODUCTION
Any one of the 30 Spectroline E/12-Series UV hand lamps can be powered in four different ways, depending on your choice of one or
more optional accessories.
1.
From a battery:
Your lamp can operate from any 12V, 7 AHr, rechargeable battery. Order the
BP-12A
battery pack, which
includes a 12-volt, 7Ahr, rechargeable battery (
9B65
), the
RB-12S
battery charger and a nylon carrying case. The RB-12S
operates from a 120V/60Hz outlet. (Order the
BP-12A/F
battery pack with an
RB-12S/F
charger for 230V/50Hz.) The automatic
charger (
RB-12S
) prevents accidental overcharge.
2.
From a vehicle cigarette-lighter receptacle:
Order the
AL-12
adapter with a male cigarette lighter plug.
3.
From a vehicle battery or 12-volt battery:
Order the
AA-12
adapter with two alligator clips.
4.
From a 120-volt AC outlet:
Order the
AP-12/4
AC adapter (for 4- and 5-watt lamps) or the
AP-12/6
AC adapter (for 6- and 8-watt
lamps).
START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Connect the lamp to an appropriate battery or AC power source. When connecting the
AL-12
adapter to a vehicle cigarette lighter
receptacle, or the
AA-12
adapter to a vehicle battery,
make sure the engine of the vehicle is turned off.
2. Depress the large ON button for approximately five seconds and release it. The light may flicker initially but should stabilize after a
few seconds.
3. Depress the small button to turn off the lamp.
USING CORD ACCESSORIES TO OPERATE THE UNIT
The lamp can be used with any of four optional cord accessories (described above).
