NOTE
Reagent containers need to be disposed of according to local regulations. All
reagent containers are shipped with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
These sheets will provide instructions. Ionics Instruments will not accept
containers for disposal.
Replacing the UV Lamp
The intensity of the UV lamp, particularly emission of short-wavelength radiation,
decreases over time. Replace the lamp every six months.
WARNING
The UV lamp contains mercury and may be considered hazardous material in
your local area. Dispose of the UV lamp in accordance with Federal, state, or
local government regulations.
WARNING
Installation of the UV lamp requires access to the inside of the instrument. To
avoid potentially dangerous shock, disconnect the power cord before opening
the instrument's top panel.
WARNING
Should the UV lamp become broken or damaged it should be handled in
accordance with your organization’s toxic waste handling procedure and
disposed of in accordance with Federal, state, or local government regulations.
NOTE
Included with the replacement UV lamp is a pair of cotton gloves to be worn
during the installation to avoid leaving fingerprints on the quartz window of the
lamp. Fingerprints will absorb UV radiation and decrease the performance of
the oxidation reactor. Use methanol to remove any fingerprints before
installing the new lamp.
For this procedure, you will need a 5/8" and an 11/16" open-end wrench.
