For DC Operation
•
Align the male connector of the lamp to the female connector of the receptacle on the fully
charged BP-30 battery pack.
•
The lamp will operate for approximately 3.5 hours. When the indicator light on the back of
the handle turns Red the battery pack must be recharged.
CARE AND USE OF NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH) BATTERIES
•
NiMH battery packs last longer when charged and stored in a temperature range between
50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C) away from heat, sunlight and humidity.
•
Always charge batteries to full capacity before long-term storage (approximately 30 days) to
prevent aging. After storage they must be charged, which may require conditioning (two or
three charge/discharge cycles) to reach full capacity.
•
Do not subject these batteries to repeated deep discharges that run the batteries down
completely on a regular basis as this will greatly shorten battery life.
•
NiMH batteries generally have no voltage sag until the last 10% of charge. The lamp usually
will operate for better than 90% of the battery's rated capacity.
•
NiMHs have no toxic lead or mercury, and a life expectancy of 500 charge/discharge cycles
or more, provided the battery is not overcharged or heavily discharged. Recycle according
to local disposal laws. Do not dispose of in fire. They will explode.
WARNING: Be sure to use genuine TRITAN 365 replacement parts. Using another
manufacturer's replacement parts could affect product performance and will void the warranty.
REMOVING THE FILTER PROTECTOR
The outer rubber filter protector may be removed periodically to clean the filter. Peel around the edge
of the filter protector to remove it. The filter should remain inside the protector. Turn the inner lamp-
housing ring clockwise in bayonet fashion to remove it and to reach the faceplate. Without removing
the screws, gently pull the LED assembly away from the handle, and you will see the serial number on
the edge of the assembly. Push the assembly back into the handle and replace the housing ring and
the filter protector.
REPLACING THE UV LENSES
The UV lenses (UL-100) that cover the three UV LEDs must be replaced periodically. They will
solarize (become cloudy and yellow) over time from repeated use. After removing the rubber
filter protector and lamp-housing ring, remove the two screws on the faceplate of the lamp head
assembly. Replace the UV lenses and reattach the faceplate, housing ring and filter protector.
MEASURING LAMP INTENSITY
To ensure that your TRITAN 365 series lamp is operating at the required UV intensity, it should
be checked periodically. The AccuMAX™ XRP-3000 radiometer/photometer kit uses a dual-
wavelength UV-A/VIS sensor detector to accurately measure ultraviolet irradiance and provide
visible measurement from a UV-A light source. The AccuMAX™ XR-1000 digital readout unit
with the XS-365 UV sensor or the Spectroline DM-365XA digital readout unit can also be used
for UV-A measurement. The meters are specially designed to measure the UV irradiance with
wavelengths of 320–400nm with peak at 365nm. For visible measurement, the AccuMAX
XRP-3000 or the XR-1000 with the XS-555I sensor detector will accurately measure the visible
light from 460–675nm with peak at 555nm.
