3UV Series Handheld Lamps

Operating Instructions

Introduction

The 3UV Series of Handheld Lamps offers a uniform and intense
source of ultraviolet light (radiation) with three UV tubes housed in
one lamp. The lamps emit one of three UV wavelengths (254nm,
302nm or 365nm UV) in four, six and eight watt configurations for
exposure or illumination of materials. All 3UV Series Handheld
Lamps are lightweight with a rugged housing. Each lamp features a
uniquely designed reflector surface mounted behind each tube to
provide maximum UV fluorescence.

Important Safety Information

Caution: Shortwave and midrange UV radiation will cause damage
to unprotected eyes and skin. Before operating any unit, be sure all
personnel in the area are properly protected. UV Blocking Eyewear
should be worn as well. UVP has a complete line of UV Blocking Eyewear:
Spectacles, Goggles and Faceshield designed for this purpose.

Operation

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The proper voltage of the lamp is found on the
product information label. A selector knob is conveniently located on top of the unit to select the appropriate UV
source. Each lamp comes with one UV tube of each UV wavelength: 254nm, 302nm and 365nm UV.

UV wavelength indicated on the dial switch. Carefully rotate the tube 90 degrees and slide the tube
out of the end receptacles.
