2. PREPARATIONS FOR USE:

3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
• Plug the UV Mobile Tester into the Smartphone headphone jack (A).
Open the App on your Smartphone, then tap the [ON] button on the
screen.
• For best results, prevent any vibrations. Ensure that the UV-A lamp being
tested has been switched on for at least 10 minutes to allow it to reach
its full UV-A output potential.
• Place the white sensor head in direct contact with the surface of the
UV-lamp (B).Taking a measurement at a distance from the lamp will
provide an incorrect reading since the sensor signal will diminish over
distance. It is recommended that the measurement is taken in the centre
of the lamp with the sensor head held ush to the lamp surface.
By sliding the lamp over the lamp surface, small variations in the lamp
strength can be seen.This is a normal phenomenon. For a more accurate
measurement take 3 measurements and use the average value found.
• The UV Mobile Tester works by plugging into the headphone jack and
cancels the phone volume control.
If making a call, or answering an incoming call, the UV Mobile Tester must be
disconnected.
• Incoming calls received while taking a measurement may affect the result.
Complete the test after taking the call.
