II. RECEIVING, INSPECTION AND STORAGE
The NOCTURN UltraViolet Light Source is packaged and sent to you following the best
commercial practices. However, handling and transportation can result in damage. The
following sections will assist you should this occur.
Receiving and Handling
Inspect the fixture container for signs of damage during the shipment process, always in
the presence of the shipping carrier. Open the container and carefully remove all packing
material. Check the contents against the packing slip included with the container and
inspect the fixture for any obvious visual damage. Noted damage should be immediately
reported to the carrier’s agent. Keep all packing intact with the container for storage or
returns.
Always furnish the model number and serial number (located on the back cover) when
information is needed concerning the fixture. This will assist with an expedient response.
Following the initial inspections, the fixture and related hardware should be placed back
into the shipping container if installation is not immediate. Fold the flaps and interleave or
tape them down. This will insure the contents remain protected and ready for installation.
System Inspection
The fixture must be inspected prior to use according to the following procedure. Should
there be any irregularities found, do not use the fixture. Consult the trouble shooting sec-
tion of this manual. If the problem is not solved, call NOCTURN for technical assistance.
1) Visually inspect the power cord, plug and safety cable to be sure there is no evidence
of damage caused by fraying or kinking. The plug should have all terminals clean and
straight.
2) Inspect the filter window in the front of the fixture and verify no cracks exist; the window
should be a singular piece of dark glass. Small waves seen on the surface are accept-
able.
3) Locate the lamp in the packaging and verify that there are no cracks or loose contacts
on the ends. A typical lamp will have a small film that is mirror-like or has micro-drop-
lets deposited on the interior of the bulb envelope surfaces. This is normal.
