Application Notes

The UV Exposure system has been calibrated on 3/27/03 and should hopefully work better than in the past.
Do not change any of the settings onthe rear of the system, for this will place it out of calibration. Please use it as described on the web page.

FYI and so you can calculate your exposure time, the intensity of the UV bulb is approx 3.3mW per sq. cm.

The Lamp should not be turned on and off and on again within a 1/2 hour time period. Reason: Its a high pressure mercury lamp and in doing so the lamp may explode and therefore ruin the machine. So it is essential that you log in your usage of the machine and before you use it, check the log to make sure someone else didn't just turn it off.
