The UV lamps are fastened to the comparison bridge using a special holder (29.1) and are in- tended for incident illumination of objects with a large surface area with fluorescent parts (e.g. documents, currency, securities). They are equipped with 180W high-pressure quartz radia- tors and filter cubes for UV light with 366 nm wavelength.

The UV lamps are rated for a 230 V/50 Hz power supply.

Caution:

For other voltage supplies, a pre-transformer must be used!

For further details, please refer to the spe- cial instructions included with the UV lamps.
