stop if the temperature becomes lower than 5 °C.

(24) Xenon lamp ignition transformer


This is the transformer to keep the xenon lamp ignited.

(25) Spark gap


This is the element that enables the generation of high voltage.
Replace the spark gap once a year (within a year after opening the package).
When performing the light-dark cycle (example: 3.8 hours light test, 1 hour dark test), it is recommended to replace
the spark gap after 200 days (equivalent of 1000 ignitions).
If not replaced, it becomes hard to ignite the xenon lamp and the instrument may stop operation by activating the
safety device of “starter unit trouble”.
If air pressure is too low and humidity is too low in an installation place, the replacement period might be
shortened.
[CAUTION]…Turn off the main power source switch when replacing the spark gap.

(26) Igniter
This is the high voltage generator for igniting the xenon lamp.
A spark gap is inside the cover.

(27) Blower motor

(34) Xenon lamp cooling water tank


By running the pump after pouring in distilled water, cooling water will start flowing into the xenon lamp.
Release the air by opening the air release valve after pouring distilled water.
If the air is not released, flow rate becomes unstable by air biting, and also it may cause a pump failure.
[Refer to 3.7 on P.27]

(35) Xenon lamp cooling water circulation pump


This is the pump for xenon lamp cooling water.
The cooling water flows in the following order: tank→pump→cooling water flow rate adjustment valve→lamp
cooling water filter (SW-1D)→cooling water flow meter→outer filter→xenon lamp→inner filter, and then back to
the xenon lamp cooling water tank.

(36) Lamp cooling water tank drain valve


This is the drain valve for the lamp cooling water tank.
Drain the cooling water inside of the tank by opening the lamp cooling water drain valve.

(37) Xenon lamp cooling water flow meter (digital display)


Flow rate of approx. 9±1 ℓ/min is required for the lamp cooling water. Sensor will be activated at 6.5 ℓ/min or less,
and the operation will stop. Adjust the flow rate to 9±1 ℓ/min, by opening the cooling Water flow rate adjustment
valve located on the left side of the lamp cooling water filter (SW-1D), which is at the right side of the instrument.

(38) Lamp cooling water filter (SW-1D)


This is the lamp cooling water filter placed in the xenon lamp’s water circulation. Replace it every six months even
if it is not used (its condition may be affected from the ambient environment, including water).
If not replaced, the filter will be clogged. The flow rate of the lamp cooling water is lowered and the instrument will
stop operation by activating the safety device of “lamp cooling water flow rate trouble”. In addition, the water
quality of lamp cooling water becomes worse and hard to ignite the xenon lamp.

Black panel thermometer displays the sum of the ambient temperature and the temperature difference from the light energy.
Black panel temperature is an important control factor along with irradiance.
Use it under its best condition (no dirty, no color fading, no loss of gloss, no scratch etc.) in order to perform weathering
(light fastness) tests with high reproducibility.

3.9.2 Black panel thermometer at ex-factory


①The instrument comes with a calibration black panel thermometer for 63 °C and a black panel thermometer for 83 °C
(one each).
②The calibration black panel thermometer is used at least once every 3 months for calibration.

3.9.3 How to use


The lamp emits strong UV light during illumination.
If tasks must be performed while the lamp is turned on, make sure to wear protective
glasses, and avoid exposure of face, neck, hands etc.
There is a risk of being blindness and skin cancer.
Read off the black panel thermometer from the observer window with the door completely
closed.
If the door is opened, it will cause the air flow to be changed and affect the temperature.
When attaching and removing black panel thermometer during operation, never touch the
current-currying components such as a lamp high-voltage terminal and a high-voltage lead
wire.
It may cause an electric shock.
【Calibration black panel thermometer】
①Use either the 63°C or the 83°C black panel thermometer depending on the test temperature.
When using a six-windows holder, replace it with the holder for the black panel thermometer holder (six-windows).
②Set the black panel thermal sensor and the calibration black panel thermometer side by side to the specimen rack
③Once the both temperature displays stabilize, read their data once per rotation for ten consecutive times,
and then calculate each average to obtain the indicated black panel temperature.
The acceptable difference is ± 2 °C.
Fill the specimen rack with specimen holders attached with the dummy plates.
When there is a gap, the flow of wind on the surface of the specimen changes, which may affect the temperature.

Replace the spark gap once a year
(within a year after opening the package).
This is the element that enables the generation of high voltage.
When performing the light-dark cycle (example: 3.8 hours light test, 1
hour dark test), it is recommended to replace the spark gap after 200 days
(equivalent of 1000 ignitions).
If air pressure is too low and humidity is too low in a installation place,
the replacement period might be shorten.
It becomes hard to ignite the lamp if the spark gap is not replaced.

OBSERVANCE
Before performing any tasks, make sure to turn off the main power
source switch and the facility power supply.
