WARNING
UV light emitted from this product. Avoid eye and skin exposure to
unshielded products.
FOR PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATION USE ONLY
OPERATION
1. Connect the plug to a power outlet that complies with the electrical
requirements specified on the lamp’s label. The E-Series lamps are
available in 120V/60Hz, 230V/50Hz, 240V/50Hz or 100V/50-60Hz versions.
2. The power supply cord is the disconnect for this unit.
3. To turn on the 120V and 100V models, press and hold the dimple on the
rocker switch(es) for approximately 5 seconds to power the tube(s). To power
the 230V/FE and FBE and 240V/FA models, press the rocker switch to the
ON (I) position. The 230V models designed to produce two wavelengths have
a 3-position power switch. The tube(s) should become energized and emit
a steady light. The light may initially flicker, especially if the lamp is cold, but
should stabilize after a few seconds.
4. To turn off the 120V and 100V models, press down on the opposite side
of the switch. Press the rocker switch to the OFF (O) position on the 230V
and 240V models.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Read all instructions prior to lamp usage)
• Never use this lamp in any manner not specified in these instructions.
• Do not use if a tube, cord or plug is not fully serviceable.
• We recommend using Spectroline UV-absorbing protective eye and face wear
(i.e., UVS-30 spectacles, UVG-50 goggles or UVF-80 face shield).
• FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY

NOTE: For even greater comfort and convenience, all E-Series hand
lamps are now equipped with a carrying handle. To increase fluorescent
contrast, all 4-, 5-, and 6-watt E-Series lamps may be used with
Spectroline CM-Series UV viewing cabinets.
OPERATOR SERVICING
The following servicing instructions are intended for limited maintenance
of the lamp. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in
these instructions. Return the lamp to the factory for maintenance not
covered in this section.
HOUSING AND FILTER MAINTENANCE
The aluminum lamp housing is designed for protection of the
internal parts. Using a soft cloth, immediately clean spills from the
housing with water and a mild detergent and wipe dry. Take care not to
allow any liquids to leak into electrical components. Periodically clean the
filter with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
TUBE AND REFLECTOR MAINTENANCE
To clean the tubes and/or reflectors, remove the tubes
according to the instructions outlined in the ‘‘TUBE REPLACEMENT’’
section below. Using a soft cloth, the reflectors may be cleaned
with a glass cleaner, while the tubes may be cleaned with a mild
detergent solution. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
TUBE REPLACEMENT
If a tube fails to operate correctly, review the procedures outlined
in the ‘‘OPERATION’’ section. If the problem persists and it is found
necessary to replace a tube, unplug the lamp from its power source
before proceeding.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the lamp from
its power source before cleaning or servicing.

1. Lay the lamp housing on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the 2 screws that secure the endcap opposite the power
cordset. For lamps without a filter, proceed to Step #4.
3. Slide the filter assembly off the lamp housing’s open end, and set aside.
4. Grasp the tube by the metal bases located at each end. Applying
even pressure, gently rotate the tube a quarter of a turn until
it loosens. The tube may now be easily removed from its
sockets.
5. Install the new tube by reversing the above procedure.
6. Where applicable, replace the filter assembly by reversing the
procedure in Step #3.
7. Replace the endcap removed in Step #2 and test the function of the
new tube.
8. If installation of the new tube fails to yield correct lamp operation,
check to make sure the two pins at each end of the tube
are properly connected with the two copper contacts in each socket.
