Page 37: Modifying The Uv Light-Blocking Cover And Measuring Light Levels
Modifying the UV Light-Blocking Cover and Measuring Light Levels Modifying the UV Light-Blocking Cover and Measuring Light Levels Modifying the magnetic sheet If the work has a complex shape, there is a possibility of UV light leaking from between gaps. This light leakage can be minimized by modifying the magnetic sheet and using a light-blocking cover to suit the work shape. - Page 38 Modifying the UV Light-Blocking Cover and Measuring Light Levels Move the profile gauges to match the work profile. • Move the profile gauges by hand. Slide the left and right profile gauges uniformly. Lock the profile gauges once the profile has been taken. •...

Page 41: Measuring Uv Light Leakage After Setting Up The Work
Modifying the UV Light-Blocking Cover and Measuring Light Levels Measuring UV light leakage after setting up the work In the case of work comprising transparent bottles containing shielding material or work with complex shapes, there is a possibility of UV light above the permitted levels leaking from between gaps. The light leakage levels can be measured beforehand using a commercially available light meter. - Page 42 Modifying the UV Light-Blocking Cover and Measuring Light Levels Hold down the [RANGE] button to set the minimum range. • Setting is complete once [uW/cm 00.0] is displayed on the screen. Remove the cover from the UV detector, then press the [PH] button once to select peak hold mode.
- Page 43 Modifying the UV Light-Blocking Cover and Measuring Light Levels Check the measured value. • Once measurement is complete, check the reading on the screen. • If the reading is 1.0 μW/cm or less, printing is possi- ble. If it is 1.1 μW/cm or higher, printing is not rec- ommended.
- Page 44 Modifying the UV Light-Blocking Cover and Measuring Light Levels Precautions when replacing batteries • When using the UVV420 for the first time, use the screwdriver provided to open the battery cover on the rear of the unit, then pull out the insulating sheet on top of the batteries to the right.
