2.5 Handling of UV lamps and quartz sleeves
The VGE Pro MP UV systems are equipped with medium pressure UV lamps and quartz tubes, the quartz
parts must be clean when they are put into operation.
If a UV lamp comes in contact with the skin, traces of grease remain on the lamp. When the UV lamp is
switched on, the traces of grease that remain behind block the light that wants to shine out of the lamp.
Because light is converted to heat, it will become very hot at the location of the grease (or other
contamination) and the lamp will burn out at this location.
To prevent the UV lamps and clean quartz tubes from being grabbed with bare hands, a set of white fabrics
and lint-free gloves are included with every delivery of a new UV system.
The supplied gloves are intended to prevent UV lamps and quartz tubes from
remaining clean. These gloves offer no protection against cuts due to breakage of a
UV lamp or quartz tube.
Grasp UV lamps only at the ceramic parts to prevent contamination of the quartz!
