8 System Description System Description The irradiation chamber is a controlled radiation-source. 20 UV-tubes of 15 Watts each can be installed. These tubes can be in the spectral range of UVA, UVB, UVC or daylight. Two spectral ranges can be combined and both types can be turned off separately. The external dose controller UV-MAT and the UV-sensors allow independent control of the dose of the 2 possible types of UV-irradiation.

8 System Description The following components are delivered: • Irradiation chamber • UV-Mat • Sensor / sensors • Power line cable • This documentation • Optional: o inert box o Lamps o Attenuators o PC interface / programming interface / USB Connecting cable for the communication For a simple description, the above mentioned components are collectively referred to as system.
• Open the front door and insert the lamps into the lamp sockets. This is done by turning the lamp 90°. Note the grouping of the lamps. • The BS-04 uses a ventilation system. Make sure that the air inlets and outlets are not covered.
(ON-OFF switching cycles, cooling, and pollution). Frequent switching the BS-04 on / off can lead to a significantly reduced useful lifetime. The UV lamp needs to be replaced when it no longer ignites, or the performance is no longer achieved.
9 Commissioning 9.2 Attenuator* Two types of attenuators are available: 1. lamp attenuators* that are slid over the lamps (1). 2. an area attenuator* that is slid under the lamps (2).

14 Maintenance Recommended No. Maintenance Item Procedure frequency Cleaning of bottom side from process chamber. Overall checking Accumulated dust clean-up, rust check, peeled paint and cleaning of the Semi-Annual check, leak, broken switch, and damaged covers, machine otherwise replace it. 1.
14 Maintenance Only carry out cleaning work on the sensor as required. This gives you the best possible stability. Clean exclusively with isopropanol (UV-IR-GRADE), with oil-free compressed air or with clean, lint-free cloths. Wear clean, lint-free gloves. Apply the cleaning agent only to the cloth, only moisten. The cleaning agent could get inside and cause damage to property.
