formance but will increase the risk for lamp explo-
sion (see section „Reset Lamp Hours“ for proper use
of this hour meter).
Caution!
When changing the type of lamp ensure
that the proper type will be selected at
the CIC.
The lamp becomes extremely hot dur-
ing operation and needs time and con-
tinued cooling to cool down when
switched off.
UV exposure lamps are under high pressure, rup-
tures or explosions could occur resulting in potential
injury from fragments and exposure to mercury.
Some high pressure lamps, even when cold, are still
above atmospheric pressure and must be handled
with protective goggles or face shields and gloves.
Warning!
Fragments of an exploding UV lamp
could severely injure eyes or body
parts.
An UV lamp not enclosed in the original
manufacturer’s box must be handled
only with gloves and face shield or by
mechanical safety goggles!
Harsh handling of the lamp or prema-
ture opening of the hot lamp house may
result in lamp explosion.
Safety instructions of the lamp manu-
facturer must be followed (see also re-
spective instructions in SUSS machine
manuals and in lamp data sheets)
1.6.2.2. In Case of Lamp Explosion
The UV lamp contains a small amount of toxic mer-
cury (Hg) (for lamps from 200W to 1000W the con-
tent may be between 0,1 g and 1,0 g Hg).
If an UV lamp breaks or bursts it spills mercury, liq-
uid when cold and vaporized when hot.
After lamp breakage immediate decontamination is
mandatory, because mercury represents a potential
serious threat to health and pollutes the environ-
ment.
Follow recommended standard procedures for de-
contamination and cleanup.
If an explosion of a hot lamp happens, the mercury
content will be blown away as vapor. Ensure proper
exhaust and ventilation and follow recommended
standard procedures.
All debris as well as the materials used in the clean-
up may classify as hazardous waste and shall be
disposed off accordingly (following local rules and
law for Hg waste).
Warning!
Mercury is very toxic. Incorporated
mercury can result in chronic heavy
disease. Incorporation is typically pos-
sible by extended exposure to mercury
vapors, which will be a result of spilled
and then hidden mercury.
1.6.2.3. Cooling and Exhaust Require-
ments
UV lamps generate extensive heat as well as ozone.
Ventilation, cooling and exhaust must be ensured.
Especially the lamp sockets are susceptible to over-
heating. Socket cooling by a directed flow of nitro-
gen is required for 350W and higher.
Lamps of 500W and higher wattage must be ex-
hausted using exhaust pipes or ducts with forced
ventilation.
A small amount of ozone can be produced by the in-
teraction of UV radiation with the oxygen of the air.
Under normal operating conditions remains well be-
low the acceptable threshold limit value (MAC/TLV).
Nevertheless lamps up to 350W power shall only be
operated in well ventilated areas. Higher wattage
lamps must be exhausted for cooling purposes,
ozone concentrations are also limited by this ex-
haust.
