26P Series Rechargeable

Ultraviolet Lamps

Operating Instruction Manual

Introduction

The 26P Series of ultraviolet lamps offers
you superb versatility and variety in a
powerful 6/12 watt rechargeable lamp.
These lamps are designed to be flexible
enough to serve as the one lamp for both
field and indoor/lab use. Each UV lamp has
two handles. In addition to the top hand
grip, the 26P has a unique strap handle
that runs along the back length of the
lamp. Illuminate the ground while standing
up-right; or, by slipping your hand through
the handle and grasping the back of the
lamp, rotate the lamp to the full extent your
wrist will allow!

Operation

The 26P Series is operated from the built-in lead acid battery (must be
charged) and will not operate while plugged into a wall current. The wall
outlet plug in your 26P lamp, used to charge the lamp, is found by
turning the unit upside down and sliding the plastic cord-cover in the
direction of the arrow. Carefully extract the plug. There is an opening
for the cord at the back of the lamp that allows you to close the cord­cover before you begin to recharge your lamp. The lamp can also
operate by the optional adapter plugged into a cigarette lighter. The
UVSL-26P’s toggle switch allows you to select longwave or shortwave
separately or both at the same time. Other models permit using one
tube or both at the same time. The black button is on/off lamp power.

Recharging the Lamp

A standard wall outlet can recharge the 26P lamp’s internal gel-based
lead-acid battery. You may receive your lamp partially charged;
however, we recommend you charge the unit from a wall outlet for 24
hours to obtain maximum field usage. When the lamp is plugged into
the wall, the red indicator light glows indicating the lamp is continuously
charging. This light will go out when the lamp is unplugged. The lamp
does not operate while plugged in. If the lamp is turned on while
plugged into the wall outlet, the green light will glow but the tubes will
not light until the lamp is unplugged. The UV intensity will be fairly
steady for about five continuous hours whether you use one or two
tubes. Power will reduce swiftly once the charge has been expended.
To recharge lamp, plug the lamp into a wall outlet.

The adapter plug is for use in operating the lamp, not for recharging the
lamp.

WARNING: Caution should be used when working with 254nm
shortwave UV (UVSL-26P and UVS-26P models). Protective
eyewear and clothing should be used. Unprotected exposure to
shortwave UV can cause a delayed reaction of sunburn to eyes
and skin. (See "replacement parts" for suggested protective
products.)
