area is 5,000 цW/cm², however the area just outside the center of this area will be higher
than 10,000 цW/cm².
6. Maintenance – After extended use the SPR-365 should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution and thoroughly dried. The unit should be visually inspected for any damage that
could cause harm to the operator, or the material being inspected. Special attention should
be paid to the Push Button Switch Cover, to ensure its fit is acceptable and it is not cracked
or failing in any way.. The most important item is to ensure Oil is not allowed to soak into the
rubber switch cover, which will cause it to harden and crack.
Whether industrial specifications are being observed or not, the LED Flash Light should
be tested periodically, using a calibrated Longwave UV Radiometer to ensure it continues
to have a minimum output of 1,500 цW/cm² at 15” (38cm). If the unit fails such a test, first
inspect the Lens to ensure it is not clouded or dirty. If the unit continues to fail, contact
the Distributor or Western Instruments for instructions on corrective action.
7. Battery Charging – To charge a SPR-365’s Lithium Ion Battery, it must be
installed in the Charger Housing, with the End Cap securely tightened to the Body. First
Plug in the charger’s voltage adaptor (115/230 VAC or 12VDC) to the electrical power
source. When the 12VDC Adaptor is plugged into an Accessory Outlet the LED will be
Red and will remain Red after charging. When the 115/230 VAC Adaptor is plugged into
mains power, the LED will be green, and when it is plugged into the Charger Housing the
LED will change to Red.
The 3.7 Volt / 2600 mAmp-Lithium Ion Battery will take approximately 6 hours to fully
charge. The batteries can be charged at any point of their cycle, but should
not be left on the charger for more than 12 hours at a time. It is recommended the
operator start his day, or an inspection cycle, with both batteries charged., which will take
a little ‘battery management’ on his part.
8. Safety - When operating the SPR-365 the operator must wear protective eyewear,
either the type included with the kit, or others that provide a reasonable level of
Longwave protection from the intense UV irradiance. The level of irradiance from the
SPR-365 is about 100 times more intense than the sun on a clear day! Do not point the
SPR-365 at anyone’s eyes as Retinal damage is virtually assured. Short exposure to
indirect irradiance of from the SPR-365 should be kept to a minimum, but acceptable eye
protection is appropriate industrial practice..
