WARNING
Please read the instructions in this manual carefully before using
your Spectroline®E-Series lamp. Never use this equipment in any
manner not specified in these instructions because the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired. We recommend
using Spectroline UV-absorbing protective eye and face wear
(i.e., UVS-30 spectacles, UVG-50 goggles or UVF-80 face shield).
DANGER — Ultraviolet radiation emitted from this product.
Avoid exposure. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE PREMATURE AGING OF THE SKIN AND
CANCER. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO DO SO
MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONG TERM INJURY TO EYE. Never
look directly into the lamp. Exposure can cause eye and skin allergy and
allergic reactions. Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitiv-
ity to ultraviolet radiation. Consult physician before operating this prod-
uct if you are using medications or have a history of skin
problems or believe yourself especially sensitive to sunlight.
For Laboratory 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 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 F and FB 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 models.

CM-26 UV VIEWING CABINET
NOTE: For even greater comfort and convenience, all E-Series
hand lamps are now equipped with a carrying handle. Or for
hands-free operation, the SE-140 lamp stand is available. Any
E-Series lamp may be slipped easily into and out of this stand. 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 main-
tenance 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 opera-
tion, check to make sure the two pins at each end of the tube
are properly connected with the two copper contacts in each
socket.
NOTE: The tubes in the EA-240 are wired in series. Therefore, if one
tube fails the other tube will not light, even though it may be in
good operating condition.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
If it is necessary to replace the filter assembly, follow Step #3 in the
‘‘TUBE REPLACEMENT’’ section to remove the old filter. Install the
new filter by reversing this procedure.
