Safety Advice UV radiation is harmful to eyes and skin! All Herolab UVT transilluminators exception of the economy models are equipped with an UV impermeable cover. All the same, safety glasses or goggles protecting the eyes from UV radiation should be worn at all times, since accidental unprotected exposure of the eyes can lead to irreversible damage.
Operation Installation Unpack the transilluminator and its power cord and check if anything is damaged. Do not use damaged appliances! For transport damage, notify the forwarder, for other damage, notify the manufacturer or distributor. The transilluminator should be placed on a level work surface, so that the air can circulate free. The voltage supplied must be the same as indicated on the name plate.
If one of Herolab's Darkroom Hood is used, or the transilluminator is part of a MiniDoc system, the protective cover is not necessary, because the hood is impermeable to UV and the transilluminator is switched on from outside.
Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before working on the unit! Adjusting the cover hinges Most of Herolab 's UVT transilluminators are equipped with special hinges to keep the cover open at any desired angle. They have to be readjusted from time to time.
Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before working on the unit! Exchanging the filter plate Herolab LongLife filters are sturdy and long-lived, however, they can be damaged, e.g. by using them as a cutting surface. With short wave UV radiation (254 nm), a diminution of the UV transmission (called solarization) is observed after several thousand hours of operation.
