System Description
The fixture uses a special double-ended linear high intensity discharge lamp that has been
custom manufactured to NOCTURN specifications. The lamps will produce maximum
levels of ultraviolet energy peaked at 365 nanometers (UV-A).
In combination with the
Atek
reflector, the fixture is able to provide greater output in the
UV-A region than other similar fixtures in the respective classes.
When the fixture is energized, the lamp will immediately ignite and output will steadily
increase for several minutes. After this brief period, the lamp will stabilize and reach a
maximum output.
By utilizing a special borosilicate filter window, dangerous ultraviolet radiation (UV-B and
UV-C) have been eliminated and minimum visual and infra-red energy is transmitted.
To enable flexibility, mounting points are provided which allow accessories to be used with
the fixture to externally control the light output (douser, barn doors, etc.).
Basic control interfacing is performed on the rear of the fixture. An illuminated display
shows either the fixture address or lamp life hour meter mode (user selectable) for simplic-
ity of fixture control.
The 400 watt fixture incorporates standard 5-pin XLR ports for the use of daisy-chaining in
a DMX control environment.
To enable quick and easy installation, the fixture is provided with a truss clamp attached to
the yoke. The clamp will accommodate 1-1/2” to 2” diameter pipes. Alternately, the yoke
incorporates a 1/2” hole to accommodate either a Baby or Standard pin for use on a stand.
NOCTURN recommends that the supplied safety cable be attached during installation to
prevent the fixture from dropping .
