Most UV curing lamps are manufactured from clear fused quartz. Quartz is very
fragile. Upon receipt of the lamp, the carton should be opened fully so lamp can
be lifted out of packaging with no twisting or pulling. Unpacking should take
place in an area large enough to eliminate the possibility of inadvertently
striking the lamp. Lamp must be wiped with alcohol or Windex before placing in
service. Fingerprint contact with the quartz envelope must be avoided. A single
fingerprint will etch the quartz surface eventually causing premature failure
that will not be covered under warranty.
Lamps must be kept clean. All types of dust, powder, grease, smoke and
misting ink must be cleaned from lamp. Overheating from a dirty condition will
cause warping and can cause an electrical short.
Electrical fittings must also be cleaned to prevent arcing between fitting
and lamp ends.
Always allow lamp to cool and disconnect all power prior
to any cleaning. |
