CHARGING AND USAGE OF THE BP-30 BATTERY PACK
The BP-30 battery pack must be fully charged before first use.
•
Check if the voltage characteristics of the battery charger match the voltage of the AC
outlet.
•
Align the male connector of the smart charger to the female connector of the battery
pack (BP-30) and plug them together. Twist the ring on the charger connector to make
a tight connection.
•
Attach the AC cord supplied to the charger and plug the unit into a properly regulated
AC outlet.
•
A full charge will take approximately 2 hours.
•
After the battery is charged, unplug the charger from the outlet first. Unplug the charger
from the battery pack.
For AC Operation
•
Align the male connector of the lamp to the female connector of the AC adapter and
plug them together. Twist the ring on the adapter connector to make a tight connection.
Attach the plug to the corresponding AC power source.
For DC Operation
•
Align the male connector of the lamp to the female connector of the receptacle on the
fully charged BP-30 battery pack.
•
A fully-charged battery will operate for approximately 4.5 hours.
CARE AND USE OF NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH) BATTERIES
•
NiMH battery packs last longer when charged and stored in a temperature range
between 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C) away from heat, sunlight and humidity.
•
Always charge batteries to full capacity before long-term storage (approximately
30 days) to prevent aging. After storage they must be charged, which may require
conditioning (two or three charge/discharge cycles) to reach full capacity.
•
Do not subject these batteries to repeated deep discharges that run the batteries down
completely on a regular basis as this will greatly shorten battery life.
•
NiMH batteries generally have no voltage sag until the last 10% of charge.
•
NiMHs have no toxic lead or mercury, and a life expectancy of 500 charge/discharge
cycles or more, provided the battery is not overcharged or heavily discharged. Recycle
according to local disposal laws.
MEASURING LAMP INTENSITY
To ensure that your uVision™ series lamp is operating at the required UV intensity, it should
be checked periodically. Spectro-UV offers a variety of sensors and meters. The AccuPRO™
XP-2000 combines the functionality of a UV and visible light radiometer/photometer, and is
specially designed to measure UV irradiance with wavelengths of 320–400nm (with peak
at 365nm) and visible light from 460–675nm (with peak at 555nm). Other suitable meters
include the AccuMAX™ XRP-3000 radiometer/photometer kit, using dual-wavelength
UV-A and VIS sensor detectors to accurately measure the irradiance of a light source. The
AccuMAX™ XR-1000 digital readout unit with the XS-365 UV sensor or the DM-365XA
digital readout unit can also be used for UV-A measurement. For more information about
these units, please contact the Customer Service Department at Spectro-UV. Call toll-free
1-866-230-7305.
