UVP B-100 Series User Manual
B-100AP
B-100 Series Ultraviolet Lamps
Operating Instructions
These Instructions cover UVP’s high-intensity 100-watt
B-100 series lamps (115V and 220V). The B-100AP,
B-100AP/R and B-100YP models are manufactured with
UVP’s Cool-Touch™ plastic housing. B-100A, B-100A/R
and B-100Y models are manufactured of a durable
scratch-resistant, powder-painted aluminum. The
B-100Y and B-100YP models feature a yellow filter.
Lamp and accessory drawings and replacement parts
lists for each model are included in these instructions.
This manual covers the following lamp part numbers:

General Information for Ultraviolet Inspection
Make tests in a darkened area for best contrast. Fluorescence may be bright or dim, depending on amount
of fluorescing agent present. Be careful to distinguish fluorescence from blue light reflection on polished
metal surfaces. UVP Model UVC-503 Safety Goggles are recommended to eliminate blue haze resulting
from eye fluorescence caused by reflected longwave ultraviolet radiation.
Installation
An 8-foot primary and secondary line cord is supplied on all units except the B-100AP/R and B-100A/R wh ich
come with 8-foot primary and 20-foot secondary line cords. If the receptacle is not fitted with 3-prong plug,
use a 2-prong adapter and attach gr oun ding lea d to screw center of receptacle plate. Some units may ship
with bare wire leads. Connect the appropriate plug for your area.
Operation
Turn on/off switch on transformer base to ON position for starting. Although a cool lamp starts immediately,
allow approximately five minutes to reach full brilliance. When use is intermittent, it is preferable to leave the
lamp burning. This assures longer bulb life and avoids delay in restarting. Restarting does not take place
immediately as the mercury vapor within the bulb must cool. Delay is typically 4 to 8 minutes. Any interruption
in the power supply, such as an excessive drop in voltage, will extinguish the arc. Restarting typically will be
delayed while the mercury vapor cools. Full voltage must be restored to permit the arc to strike.
While mounted on the transformer base, the lamp housing can rotate 360°. For handheld use, detach the lamp
housing from the transformer base.

To replace the bulb, first remove the filter assembly:
Expand front bezel tabs and slide front bezel off the
lamp assembly. Expand the two silver filter assembly
spring clips outward to release filter assembly from the
lamp body.
When replacing the bulb, screw bulb in tightly to prevent
loosening from heat expansion and contraction during
lamp operation.
Bulb Standardization
For testing uniformity, a standard bulb intensity is
required.
A special light meter calibrated for measuring ultraviolet
intensity is required to check bulb standardization.
The UVX Radiometer and UVX-36 sensor or the J-221
UV Meter employ a dense ultraviolet filter and is
specifically calibrated to read ultrav io let intensity of
365nm in mW/cm² from a line source lamp. An ordinary
