represent a range of potential treatment doses. Find the dose then trace that row to the right until it
intersects with the column corresponding to the factory power output of the device. The time
equivalent is shown where the two lines intersect. A partial chart is shown below. For example, if the
factory power output is 4.0 mw and the dose to be delivered is 280 mJ, then an appropriate time is
01:30.
Special 1 Series Instructions when the device is positioned away from your body:
When setting up a treatment where it is impractical to have your skin in direct contact with the plastic
guard, you should position the device 8 inches (20cm) from the body. Since the power output is 1/3
lower there than at the plastic lamp guard, it is necessary to multiply the prescribed dose by three.
Therefore, if your dose was 280 milliJoules, you would have to enter a time equivalent for 840
milliJoules.
PARTIAL UVB TIME CHART
mw/ cm2 ↓ Power output
The UVA and Blue Light Time Chart (not shown) are configured the same as the UVB Time Chart.
The dosages are listed in Joules and the energy output levels and times are different than the UVB
output levels. Each chart is clearly marked UVA, Blue Light, Red Light or UVB.
Entering a treatment time
1. Press ▲ until the first digit of the desired time is displayed. If the treatment time is two minutes
and thirty-five seconds (02:35), the first digit is a “2”.
2. Press ◄ to move the “2” one space to the left.
3. Press ▲ until the next desired number is displayed (“3” in this case).
4. Press ◄ to move the “3” one space to the left and repeat until all desired digits are shown on
the display (for this example enter a “5”).
5. When the desired time is displayed, press ENTER.
Put on your goggles and position yourself per the instructions of your specific device.
6. Begin the treatment by pressing ENTER. Note: The timer will beep three times to signal the
end of the treatment and then flash the treatment time on the display.
7. Press END to clear the display.
To repeat the same time for another exposure, press the END key to clear the display, and then press
the MODE and POWER keys at the same time and release. This displays and enters the previous
treatment time. Press ENTER to start the timer again.
