Ultraviolet radiation emitted from this product. Avoid exposure. ALWAYS WEAR
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE PREMATURE AGING OF THE
SKIN AND CANCER. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO DO
SO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONG TERM INJURY TO EYE. Never

FOR PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATION USE ONLY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Read all instructions.
• Do not operate the lamp with a damaged cord or if the lamp has been damaged.
• Never use this equipment in any manner not specifi ed in these instructions because the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• The TRITAN 365 is not approved for use in hazardous atmospheres. Do not attempt to use
it in areas requiring explosion-proof lighting.
OPERATION
• The TRITAN 365 series UV-A inspection lamps are equipped with an 8-foot (2.4 m)
heavy-duty cord ending in an AC plug with a protective rubber boot.
• The lamp is shipped with the correct cord installed for the country of destination.
• Connect the plug to a power source that complies with the electrical requirements specifi ed on
the label.
• The lamp has a three-position rocker power switch (II–UV; O–off; I–white light) on the handle.
The fan turns on automatically and the light above the switch illuminates green when the UV
LEDs are in use.
WARNING: Be sure to use genuine TRITAN 365 replacement parts. Using another manufacturer's
replacement parts could affect product performance and will void the lamp warranty.
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 fl ush with its counterpart on the lamp handle, that is, some
threads on the handle may still be visible. This is normal.
REMOVING THE FILTER PROTECTOR
The outer rubber fi lter protector may be removed periodically to clean the fi lter. Peel around the
edge of the fi lter protector to remove it. The fi lter 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. Push the assembly back
into the handle and replace the housing ring and the fi lter protector.
REPLACING THE UV LENSES
The UV lenses (UV-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
fi lter 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 fi lter protector.
You must wear the UV-absorbing spectacles supplied.
The lamp should be used in low-light conditions to achieve
REPLACING THE PARTICULATE FILTER ASSEMBLY
After repeated use, the foam particulate fi lter may need to be replaced. Insert a fl at-head
screwdriver into the notch on the fi lter assembly and pry the two halves apart. Replace it
with a new fi lter assembly. NOTE: The serial number is etched on the top of the handle right
below the particulate fi lter assembly.
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.
