Enhance your HVAC and germicidal decontamination efforts by adding some powerful accessories to your UVC arsenal. American Ultraviolet Company offers a complete line of durable accessories, including the UVC Sensor, Cleaning Kit and Lamp Tube Guard.

UVC INTENSITY SENSOR WITH PANEL MOUNT MONITOR

Typically, germicidal lamps have an expected life rating of about 9,000 hours. After the expected lifespan, the lamp may continue to burn, but its intensity is substantially reduced. Other factors, such as dust, may rob the lamp of its expected output as well. In both cases, airborne and surface-dwelling microorganisms are treated ineffectively.

Indicator pilot lights show that the lamp is lit but do not indicate the effectiveness of lamp output. The only reliable output monitoring device is an intensity sensor. American Ultraviolet Company’s calibrated and long-term-stable UVC sensors are a reliable and cost-effective way to monitor UVC radiation levels throughout the system.

The senor is mounted in the airstream to monitor individual lamps or banks of lamps, measuring only the 254 nm wavelength. It supplies a current or voltage signal proportional to the amount of UVC sensed to the display meter. The panel mount display monitor shown here has green (70-100% output), yellow (50-70% output) and red (below 50% output) indicator lights for intensity display. Other monitor displays are available.

LAMP / REFLECTOR CLEANING KIT

Germicidal lamps manufactured from high-quality pure quartz require periodic cleaning to prevent damage from fingerprints or other contaminants that may degrade the glass. Lamps should always be cleaned upon initial installation to remove skin oils from handling before firing the lamps. The oils or other residues create areas on the lamp tube where UVC is not transmitted. This can result in shortened lamp life as well as diminished output. American Ultraviolet Company offers Cleaning Kits consisting of cotton gloves and clean-wipes with isopropyl alcohol for cleaning lamp surfaces. Reflective surfaces of lamp fixtures also should be cleaned periodically.

LAMP TUBE GUARD KIT

Lamp Tube Guard Kits are available as a simple and reliable way to indicate that the lamp is lit and operational. Tube Guard Kits are provided with a 4"x4" enclosure that has a green indicator light for “Lamp Lit” and red indicator light for “Lamp Out.” The standard kit shown here is for one lamp. Tube Guards mounted in larger enclosures with the indicator lamps identified for each lamp or lamp fixture can be provided for multiple banks of lamps. For monitoring lamp intensity, American Ultraviolet Company can provide an intensity monitor.
