UV-Exposure Box

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides technical specifications, operational procedures, and safety guidelines for UV Exposure Boxes designed for exposing UV-light sensitive materials such as photo-sensitive films and plates. These devices are suitable for use in various environments including laboratories, schools, and small factories.

Specifications: The UV Exposure Box is constructed with anodized aluminum profiles and features electronic ballasts compliant with EN60929 standards. It uses special fluorescent lamps (ACTINIC) with a UV-A wavelength of 350-400 nm, ensuring even illumination across the lighting area. The device includes an electronic timer with selectable ranges from 1-600 seconds or 1-100 minutes, operated via a single knob and displayed on a seven-segment LED.

Technical Data: Two models are specified: Model 140007 with a mounting area of 160 x 250 mm and Model 140017 with 240 x 365 mm. Power consumption is 32 W and 60 W respectively, with UV tubes of 8 W and 15 W. The devices operate at a power supply of 230V (50-60Hz).

Operational Procedures: The device should be placed on a stable, horizontal surface in a darkened room. It is crucial to follow safety instructions, including ensuring the device is not operated by children or untrained individuals. The exposure process involves attaching films under aluminum strips, setting the exposure time, and starting the exposure with the lid closed.

Maintenance: The UV Exposure Box requires minimal maintenance, primarily involving the replacement of lamps after approximately 1000 hours of use. Cleaning should be done with standard glass cleaner, avoiding scratches or contamination on the glass plate.

Safety Guidelines: The document emphasizes the importance of not starting the exposure process before the lid is closed to prevent UV-A radiation exposure, which can be harmful to skin and eyes. The device must be disconnected from the power supply before opening the housing for maintenance.

Declaration of Conformity: The UV Exposure Boxes comply with the EC-Directive 2006/95/EG and EMI-Directive 2004/108/EG, with quality assurance certified under ISO 9001:2008.

Spare Parts: Replacement UV lamps are available with part numbers 410007 for 8W lamps and 410017 for 15W lamps.
