3UV Series Ultraviolet Hand Lamps
Users Guide
Introduction
The 3UV Series of Ultraviolet Lamps offer a uni-
form and intense source of ultraviolet light (ra-
diation) with three UV tubes housed in one lamp.
The lamps emit one of three UV wavelengths
( 54nm, 30 nm or 365nm UV) in four watt, six
watt and eight watt configurations for exposure
or illumination of materials. All 3UV Series Lamps
are lightweight with a rugged housing. Each lamp
features a uniquely designed reflector surface
mounted behind each tube to provide maximum
UV fluorescence.
Important Safety Information
Caution: Shortwave and midrange UV
radiation will cause damage to unprotected eyes and skin. Before operating any unit, be sure all
personnel in the area are properly protected. UV Blocking Eyewear should be worn as well.
UVP has a complete line of UV Blocking Eyewear: Spectacles, Goggles and Faceshield designed
for this purpose.
Operation
Plug power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The proper voltage of the lamp is found on the
product information label. A dial switch is conveniently located on top of the unit to select the appropriate
UV source. Each lamp comes with one UV tube of each UV wavelength: 54nm, 30 nm and 365nm UV.
