Introduction
The EL Series Ultraviolet Lamps offer a uniform and intense source of ultraviolet light
(radiation). The lamps emit one of three UV wavelengths or white light in four watt, six watt
and eight watt configurations for exposure/illumination of materials. All EL Series Lamps can
be used with the universal J138 Lamp Stand. The four watt models can be used with C-10E
Cabinet for viewing materials in a darkroom environment. Eight watt lamps can be used with
the C-65 Cabinet.
NOTE: Though the manual refers to the midrange UV waveband as 302nm, others refer to
this region as 300nm or 312nm. The spectral output of all these regions is the same.
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
Safety Precautions
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.
Using the Lamp
Plug power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The proper voltage of the
lamp is found on the product information label.
The power switch is conveniently located on top of the unit to turn the lamp on or off.
For models with multiple wavelengths the switch allows selection of wavelength or to shut
the unit off.
Each lamp comes with two UV tube or one UV and one white light tube. The UVLMS-38
is equipped with three tubes. Models with two tubes of the same wavelength operate with
both tubes on at the same time. Other models operate with only a single tube a time.

Disconnect the lamp from the electrical supply before replacing tubes.
Remove the two Phillips Head screws located in the end cap.
Grasp the extruded housing and slide the chassis and filter out together away from the switch.
Disconnect the interior Molex Connector (Fig. 1) and slide the chassis and filter out from the
housing completely.
Once out of the extrusion, the chassis and filter will come apart.
