Installation & User Manual

4.6 Accessories
4.6.1 Lamp tester
The medium pressure UV lamps used in the VGE Pro MP UV systems have a long
life expectancy of 9,000 hours.
However, it is possible that a lamp will not start, to be able to check whether a lamp
can still start you can use our UV lamp tester.
By simply holding the metal tip of the lamp tester against the quartz of the lamp or
pressing one of the electrical connections and then pressing the test button, this
light will illuminate blue when the lamp is still functioning.
The lamp must be completely removed from the irradiation chamber for testing.
Article number: SP0055
4.6.2 Mercury collector
The UV lamps used in the VGE Pro MP UV systems contain a small amount of
mercury. If a lamp breaks, this mercury can be released and since the mercury
vapor is toxic, mercury released must be completely cleaned up as quickly as
possible.
Because of its liquid properties, mercury is difficult to collect and pick up, we advise
you to have a mercury collector ready and to use it to clean up spilled mercury.
Article number: SP0057
Ensure that when mercury is released, this is cleaned up as quickly as possible and
that the room is well ventilated!
4.6.3 Face protection
With normal use of a VGE Pro UV system, UV light cannot escape. If a UV system is equipped with a UV
sensor that is placed in a so-called measuring window, UV light can be radiated into the room during a
reference measurement. This UV light can be harmful to the environment that is being radiated.
Because it is inevitable when carrying out a reference measurement that you come into contact with UV
light, you should protect yourself well against this. See chapter "Safety instructions".
