Should ‘‘BULB’’ be displayed, the UV tubes need to be replaced.
c. If, after changing bulbs, the unit countdown continues to be slower
than normal or “BULB” is displayed, then the Spectrolinker should be
sent back to Spectro-UV for recalibration.
NOTE : Over time the output of the tubes will degrade and the countdown will
become slower.
TUBE REPLACEMENT
If a tube fails to operate or its UV intensity does not meet desired levels and
tube replacement is necessary, take the following steps:
1. Unplug the Spectrolinker from the power source and allow the tubes to
cool.
2. Grasp the tube by the metal bases located at each end. Applying even
pressure, gently rotate the tube a quarter turn until it loosens. The tube
may now be easily removed from its sockets.
3. Install the new tube by reversing the above procedure.
MAINTENANCE
The Spectroline microprocessor-controlled UV crosslinkers are factory
calibrated for monitoring the intensity inside the chamber to provide years of
trouble-free operation. However, should problems eventually develop with
regard to intensity measurements (as may occur with
all
light meters), the unit
should be returned to Spectro-UV for recalibration. Be sure to contact the
Customer Service Department at Spectro-UV for shipping instructions. Do
not attempt to service the unit.
The chamber door is made of a special, transparent UV-blocking material to
facilitate the viewing of all of the tubes when the unit is on. The user can
replace one or more tubes should they fail to light. Replacement tubes
(254nm, 312nm or 365nm) can be pur chased from Spectro-UV (see Ordering
Information on page 11).
If the chamber output falls below 1,500

with all tubes lit, it is
recommended that you replace the
complete
set of tubes.
NOTE : The Spectroline UV crosslinkers are factory cali brated at 254nm
unless specified otherwise by the customer when ordering. If the user
wishes to change the tubes to 312nm or 365nm, the unit should be sent back
to Spectro-UV for recalibration at the selected wavelength.
