For DC Operation
• The connector on the end of the cord on the lamp has an alignment peg and the corresponding connector
on the fully charged BP-30 battery pack has a groove. Match the groove to the peg and carefully screw the
associated connectors together.
• The lamp will operate continuously for approximately 5 hours on the standard, lower-intensity setting,
and for approximately 2.5 hours on the higher-intensity setting. When the indicator light on the back of
the handle turns Red, the battery pack must be recharged.
CHANGING THE LAMP CORD
• The appropriate cord for the country of destination will be installed on the lamp when it is ordered. To
change the cord, remove it by sliding the rubber, strain-relief boot down and away from the lamp handle to
reveal the jam nut and the tightening nut (see Figure 1). To separate the cord from the lamp, turn the jam
nut a quarter turn with a wrench while holding the tightening nut in place. Leave the jam nut on the handle.
(Do not remove the connector nut.) Turn the tightening nut counterclockwise to remove it from the lamp's
terminal.
• To attach a new cord, align the small peg on the lamp handle's terminal to the corresponding groove on the
cord's terminal connector (see Figure 2), and push them together carefully so that the pins do not become
bent. Tighten the jam nut clockwise up to the connector nut on the handle until it is fully seated. Turn
the tightening nut clockwise up to the seated jam nut, then turn the jam nut counterclockwise to lock the
connection.
• When the connection is secure, pull the rubber, strain-relief boot up as tightly as possible. Note that the jam
nut may not always be flush with its counterpart on the lamp handle, that is, some threads on the handle
may still be visible. This is normal.
You must wear the UV-absorbing spectacles supplied. The lamp should be used in
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.
REMOVING/INSTALLING THE FILTER PROTECTOR
The rubber filter protector containing the clear Borofloat
edge of the protector from around the lamp housing and wipe both sides of the glass with a clean, damp
cloth. To replace the protector, press it around the edge of the housing until the large holes cover the tabs on
the housing.
REPLACING THE UV LENSES
• The lenses that cover the four UV LEDs must be replaced periodically, since they will solarize (grow cloudy)
over time from repeated use. The white light LED lens will not solarize and does not need replacing.
• Remove the rubber filter protector, as above, and set it aside.
• Remove all four screws from the faceplate and set the screws and faceplate aside. Note that two of the
screws are short (bottom left and top right) and two are longer.
• Pry off each of the solarized lenses with a flathead screwdriver and replace each with a fresh UL-100 lens.
Reattach the faceplate and the filter protector.
REPLACING THE PARTICULATE FILTER ASSEMBLY
After repeated use, the foam particulate filter may need to be replaced. Squeeze the top of the filter assembly
to loosen and pull it out of the back of the lamp. Replace it with a new filter assembly. NOTE: The serial
number is etched on the top of the particulate filter assembly.
MEASURING LAMP INTENSITY
To ensure that your QUADRAN 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
low-light conditions to achieve the best inspection results.
