2 SAFETY

SUMMARY OF HAZARDS

The hazards encountered in the operation of these illuminator systems are:

 Radiation  Lamp explosion  Ozone  Electrical shock  EMI  Heat

The interlock system is designed for your safety. Do not defeat the interlocks.

2.1 UV AND VISIBLE RADIATION

The high intensity UV and VIS radiation of the lamp can permanently damage the cornea, lens, and retina of the eye, even causing blindness. This damage may not be immediately apparent. The deep UV is absorbed in the cornea or eye fluids; focused UV, VIS, and NIR can damage the retina. Normal blink reaction to visible light may not be adequate protection, and a beam of invisible UV or NIR (produced by spectral filtering) can be most dangerous, as the blink response is not induced. UV radiation can also cause painful sunburn, and with prolonged exposure, serious burns.

M94011A

Recommendations

1. Never look directly into the output beam from an arc lamp housing.

2. Do not look at the specular (mirror) reflection of the beam.

3. Always wear UV protective eyewear or facemask, and adequate protection for exposed areas of

skin.

2.2 LAMP EXPLOSION

When Xenon, Mercury and Mercury-Xenon arc lamps are cold, they are under several atmospheres of pressure and may explode due to internal strains or physical abuse. When hot, all lamps are under a pressure of many atmospheres and the possibility of violent explosion exists. Fingerprints and other contaminants left on the lamp cause a deterioration of the envelope during operation and may lead to lamp explosion.

Recommendations

1. Do not handle a bare arc lamp without safety goggles and adequate protection for exposed areas

of skin.

2. Wear gloves when handling a lamp. Do not touch the lamp envelope with your fingers.

3. Clean the lamp envelope thoroughly with alcohol or a dilute solution of detergent and water if it

comes in contact with skin.

- 6 -

Page 7

4. Attach a cover plate over the output port of any illuminator that will be used without the output

enclosed, before operation.

2.3 OZONE

M94011A

Oriel® LCS-100TM Small Area Sol1A

Shortwave ultraviolet radiation photolyses oxygen to produce ozone - O concentrations of ozone can cause nasal dryness and a burning sensation in the throat, headaches, nausea, and irritation of the mucous membranes.

A 150 W UV arc lamp can contribute more than 1 part ozone per million to the cooling air system. This may be of little consequence in a well-ventilated area, but some people are very sensitive to ozone and long term effects are not well documented. Noticeable symptoms for most people appear at around 0.3 - 0.5 ppm.

Recommended maximum exposures are typically:

0.1 ppm for 8 hours exposure 2 ppm or a 2 hour exposure

Recommendations

1. Use an ozone free lamp unless you need the shortwave UV.

2. Vent the cooling air stream to atmosphere (with a low resistance vent path). Do not vent ozone

into a small, enclosed room.

3. Use an Oriel Ozone Eater

2.4 ELECTRICAL SHOCK

. Relatively low

When the 94011A(-ES) is operated as intended, the interlock system and the package design eliminate risk of electrical shock.

Be aware that a high transitory voltage is used to ignite the lamp and, before ignition, the lamp terminals have a potential difference of up to 200 V. This voltage is dangerous. If there is any concern about the interlock system, great care is required.

Recommendations

1. Disconnect the illuminator from the ac power mains before removing the cover or optics

assembly.

2. Keep personnel clear of all exposed terminals.

3. Make sure all connections are securely made and check the polarity before starting a lamp.

4. Do not handle lamp leads during lamp ignition.

- 7 -

Page 8

2.5 EMI

The 94011A(-ES) housing contains EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) under normal operating conditions. However, ignition of an arc lamp requires high voltage pulses to break the lamp down and a high current dump (10’s of Amps discharge) to sustain the arc. Arc lamp ignition creates significant electromagnetic energy. The high level of EMI integrity of the source contains most of this transient energy, but additional earthing, careful cable routing, and EMI shielding may be necessary to protect sensitive digital circuitry from these events.

Recommendations

1. Start the arc lamp before powering nearby computer systems.

2. Keep the computer at least 2 feet away from the ignitor/power supply.

3. Use a different outlet and line for the computer and ignitor/power supply.

2.6 HEAT

The lamps become very hot during operation, and may remain so for many minutes after being shut

off.

M94011A

Oriel® LCS-100TM Small Area Sol1A

Recommendations

1. The fan will remain On for 2 minutes after lamp turn off, after which the power cord can be

removed. Wait at least 10 minutes after turning off the lamp before removing the housing top cover to access the lamp.

2. Approach the lamp as if it were hot under any circumstances.

3. Allow at least 2 inches of clearance near the fan opening and ventilation slots for adequate

cooling of the lamp and power supply.

6.2 MOUNTING OPTIONS

The 6” x 12” (152.4 x 304.8mm) integral baseplate has 1/4 - 20 mounting holes at the corners, spaced 5” x 11”. These can be used to mount fixed length posts such as type SP-6, which may then be mounted within post holders such as type VPH-6, to provide height adjustment. If fixed posts are used, then it is recommended to adjust the target device (test cell) height, to provide the Irradiance adjustment. See Figures 18 and 19 for mounting dimension detail drawings.

For upward or side directing applications, the integral baseplate can be bolted to an inch or metric table. Use the 1/16 hex wrench to loosen and turn the 90

side of its housing to square it up before retightening. For forward directing of the beam, the beam turner may be removed (working distance from the tube end reference plane will then be 2.5” more). A 71260 Filter Holder may be used at this optical location for additional external filters. Use extra care in

these configurations to prevent eye damage.

For proper operation, the 94011A(-ES) is to be mounted in a preferred orientation such that its electrode axis is within 15

6.5 IRRADIANCE ADJUSTMENT

There is one method of adjusting the irradiance. The lamp should be warmed up at least 10 minutes to be stable, and a detector such as the 91150V should be placed in the intended working plane to monitor the output adjustment.

Working Distance

Working Distance (W .D.) is defined as the distance from the output port bottom surface to the t arget plane. Since the output beam is slightly divergent, adjusting the W.D. has an inverse effect on the Irradiance. The LCS-100

has been factory adjusted for best uniformity at the specified W.D. found in section 8, where it is certified. However, the uniformity is generally within Class B for W.D. within the range of 6 to 10 inches.

As the lamp ages, the W.D. will need to be reduced to maintain 1 SUN output. This is accomplished by means of the mounting rod or target device height adjustment. The mounting rod is adjusted by the following means:

1. Grasp both of the mounting rod knobs, one in each hand.

2. Rotate the locking knob counterclockwise. This is the knob with the Model number 370-RC

engraved, generally on the right as shown in the photos.

3. To raise the LCS-100

, place that hand under the angle bracket mounted to the integral baseplate, and exert upward force while rotating the other knob counterclockwise. This knob has a gear that engages with the rack on the rod to move it up.

4. To lower the LCS-100

, slowly rotate the other knob clockwise. This knob has a gear that

engages with the rack on the rod to move it down.

5. Rotate the locking knob clockwise to secure the clamp around the rod.
