Ushio BC2771 G10T8 Germicidal Lamp Manual do usuário

1. Introdução e Produto Acimaview

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. Informações de segurança

AVISO: Este euamp 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.
• Garantir o lamp is installed in a fixture that provides adequate shielding for occupants.
• Disconnect power before installation, removal, or maintenance.
• Descarte de lamps according to local regulations for mercury-containing products.

3. Configuração e instalação

Este euamp is designed for use in compatible fixtures with a G13 2-pin base. Installation should only be performed by qualified personnel following all local electrical codes and safety guidelines.

1. Desconexão de energia: Ensure the power supply to the fixture is completely disconnected before beginning installation.
2. Manuseio: Lidar com o lamp by its base, not the glass tube. Avoid touching the glass with bare hands, as oils can create hot spots and reduce lamp life. If the glass is touched, clean it with an alcohol wipe before operation.
3. Inserção: Align the two pins of the lamp base with the corresponding slots in the G13 lamp holder. Gently push and twist the lamp until it is securely seated.
4. Verificação: Garantir o lamp is firmly in place and the fixture provides adequate shielding from UV-C radiation.
5. Conexão de energia: Restaure a energia do aparelho.

4. Instruções de operação

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.

• Ativação: Turn on the power switch connected to the fixture. The lamp will illuminate, emitting UV-C light.
• Duração da operação: 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.
• Desativação: Turn off the power switch to deactivate the lamp.
• Condições ambientais: Operar o lamp within recommended temperature and humidity ranges for optimal performance and lifespan.

5. Manutenção

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

• Limpeza: 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.
• Substituição: 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.
• Disposição: Descarte l usadoamps in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations for mercury-containing waste. Do not dispose of in regular trash.

6. Solução De Problemas

Se o lamp is not functioning correctly, consider the following:

• Lamp Sem iluminação:
  • Verifique se a fonte de alimentação da luminária está ativa.
  • Garantir o lamp is correctly seated in the G13 base.
  • Inspecione o lamp for visible damage (e.g., broken glass, loose pins).
  • Verify the ballast or starter in the fixture is functioning correctly.
• Dim Light or Reduced Effectiveness:
  • O lamp may be nearing the end of its effective germicidal life (8,000 hours). Consider replacement.
  • O lamp surface may be dirty. Clean as per maintenance instructions.
  • Ensure the operating environment is within recommended parameters.

If issues persist after troubleshooting, consult a qualified electrician or the fixture manufacturer for assistance.
