Wiring
Connections
Makesurethat the powersupply voltage isbelowthe maximum
voltage beforeturning the powerON.
Besurethat the terminalpolarityand wiring arecorrect.
Nevershareaconduit thatisused forhigh-voltage orpower
lines.
Use extension cordswithaminimumthickness of0.3mm2,less
than 5 mlong,and check operation before using.
PowerSupply
When usingacommercialswitching regulator,ground the FG
(frame ground)and G(ground)terminals.Outputsignalnoisewill
be excessiveif the powersupplyisnotgrounded.
Afterturning on the powersupply,wait foratleastone second
until consistentdetections can be performed before using the
Monitor.Ifseparate powersuppliesare used forthe F3UVand
connected devices,always turnONthe F3UV’spowersupply
first.
JINSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Installation
UVlightisharmful,sobesuretoturnOFF the UVlightsource
beforeinstalling the F3UV.
SensitivitySetting
The analog outputvalue will change due totemperature drift. If the
temperatureisrising,wait forthe temperaturetostabilize before
setting the sensitivity.

PrecautionsRegarding UVLight
The sensor’sdisplayand cord are notprotected againstUVex-
posure. If these partswill be exposed toUVlight, protect them
withthe F39-HU2ProtectiveCoverand F39-CU1MProtective
Tube.
When UVlightwill be inthe user’sfield ofvision ordirectly con-
tact the skin during adjustment, useashield orotherprotective
deviceto preventinjury.
JSENSITIVITYADJUSTMENT
Usethe following procedureto adjust the analog output to5V
beforeinitialoperation orafter replacing the UVlightsource.
1.Setup the Sensorand the UVlightsourcetobemonitored.
The sensitivityadjusterisfactory set toitsminimumsetting
(all the waytothe left).
2.TurnONthe UVlightsource.
3.Check whetherthe operation indicator (orange)of the
Sensorislit. The operation indicatorwill lightif the analog
outputvalue isbetween 4 and 5 V.Ifitdoesnotlight,
adjustinthe following way.
Rough Adjustment
The operation indicatorwill lightif the analog outputvalue is
between 4 and 5 V. Inthis case,proceed toFine Adjustment
below. If the operation indicatorisnotlit, check whetherthe
operation indicatorcan be made tolightbyturning the
sensitivityadjuster. If the operation indicatorstill doesnot
light, then the UVintensityiseithertoo high (i.e., exceeds
Sensorspecifications,with an analog outputvalue greater
than 5 V),oristoo low. If the UVintensityistoo high,make
the operation indicatorlightbyeitherusing the F39-HU1
Filtering Cover (soldseparately),ormoving the Sensor
fartherawayfromthe UVlightsource. If the UVintensityis
too low,movethe Sensorclosertothe UVlightsource,until
the operation indicatorlights.
Fine Adjustment
Adjust the sensitivityadjusteruntil the analog outputvalue is
5V.Ifitnotpossibleto obtainavalue of5Vthisway, then
the distance between the Sensorand the UVlightsourceis
inappropriate.Movethe Sensoreithercloserto,orfarther
awayfromthe UVlightsource.
JCLEANING
Neveruse paint thinnerormineralspiritsofany kind. If thereis
debrisorduston the light-receiving window,wipe itoff withasoft
cloth orblowitoff withalow-pressure airsprayer.
