Ushio BC2771 G10T8 Germicida Lamp Erabiltzailearen eskuliburua

1. Sarrera eta Produktuaren Azalpenaview

The Ushio BC2771 G10T8 is a 9.5W low-pressure mercury-arc lamp designed for germicidal applications. This lamp emits ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation, specifically peaking at 253.7 nanometers (Nm). This wavelength is highly effective in inactivating various microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and molds, making it suitable for disinfection purposes.

2. Segurtasun informazioa

OHARRA: Hau lamp emits UV-C radiation, which is harmful to skin and eyes. Direct exposure can cause severe burns and eye damage. Always ensure proper shielding and never look directly at an operating germicidal lamp.

• Avoid direct exposure to UV-C radiation.
• Wear appropriate UV-protective eyewear and clothing if exposure is unavoidable during maintenance.
• Ziurtatu lamp is installed in a fixture that provides adequate shielding for occupants.
• Disconnect power before installation, removal, or maintenance.
• Bota ezazu lamps according to local regulations for mercury-containing products.

3. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa

5. Potentzia-konexioa: Berrezarri argindarra.

4. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

Once properly installed, the Ushio BC2771 G10T8 lamp operates by receiving electrical current through its G13 base, which energizes the mercury vapor within the lamp to produce UV-C radiation.

• Aktibazioa: Turn on the power switch connected to the fixture. The lamp will illuminate, emitting UV-C light.
• Eragiketaren iraupena: The required operating time for effective disinfection depends on the application, air flow, and distance to the target. Consult specific system guidelines for optimal disinfection cycles.
• Desaktibazioa: Turn off the power switch to deactivate the lamp.
• Ingurumen-baldintzak: Erabili lamp within recommended temperature and humidity ranges for optimal performance and lifespan.

5. Mantentzea

Regular maintenance ensures the continued effectiveness and longevity of your germicidal lamp.

• Garbiketa: Periodically, with the power disconnected and the lamp cooled, gently wipe the glass tube with a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol. This removes dust and fingerprints that can impede UV-C transmission.
• Ordezkoa: The Ushio BC2771 G10T8 has a rated life of approximately 8,000 hours. While the lamp may continue to emit visible light beyond this period, its germicidal effectiveness (UV-C output) will diminish significantly. It is recommended to replace the lamp after 8,000 hours of operation or as specified by your system's maintenance schedule.
• Xedapena: Erabilitako lamps in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations for mercury-containing waste. Do not dispose of in regular trash.

6. Arazoak

l badaamp is not functioning correctly, consider the following:

• Lamp Ez argiztapena:
  • Check if the power supply to the fixture is active.
  • Ziurtatu lamp is correctly seated in the G13 base.
  • Ikuskatu lamp for visible damage (e.g., broken glass, loose pins).
  • Verify the ballast or starter in the fixture is functioning correctly.
