Safety
Safety information
Follow the safety instructions. Non-observance of the safety notes may cause hazards to persons, the environment, and the product.
WARNING ultraviolet radiation
This product belongs to Risk group 1. Low risk, pursuant to EN 62471 (Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems). Safe for most applications apart from direct long exposure very close proximity (<1m) viewing. Minimize exposure to eyes and skin. Use appropriate shielding. In normal applications, the lamp is inside an instrument and cannot be viewed directly. Even if the lamp were to be somehow run in the open the optical risks are extremely low. See note above.
Transport and handling
Transport the product in its original packing to the place of installation. The cleanliness of the PID lamp crystal window is extremely important to ensure high photon output and good detector sensitivity. Finger grease on the crystal window leads to primary VUV line output losses. Avoid touching the lamp with bare hands. Wear gloves.
Prior to installation, check the DC photoionization lamp for mechanical damage. Never use damaged DC photoionization lamps.
Installation
De-energize the unit before commencing work on it in accordance with the relevant safety precautions for working with electrical equipment. Install or replace the lamp in the instrument according to the instruction manual of the instrument in which the lamp is used. Allow the lamp to cool sufficiently to prevent burns from hot surfaces in the case of heated instrumentation. The lamp itself does not generate much heat as the input power is normally less than 1 W, so in non-heated equipment, there are no risks of heat burns. Only use the tools described in the maintenance manual to replace the lamp.
The lamp has bare electrode surfaces and the equipment in which the lamp is designed to fit has the appropriate mounts and electrical contacts.
