CARE AND USE OF NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH) BATTERIES*
• NiMH battery packs last longer when charged and stored in a temperature range between 50°F to
86°F (10°C to 30°C) away from heat, sunlight and humidity.
• Always charge batteries to full capacity before long-term storage (approximately 30 days) to prevent
aging. After storage they must be charged, which may require conditioning (two or three charge/
discharge cycles) to reach full capacity.
• Do not subject these batteries to repeated deep discharges that run the batteries down completely on
a regular basis as this will greatly shorten battery life.
• NiMH batteries generally have no voltage sag until the last 10% of charge. The lamp usually will
operate for better than 90% of the battery's rated capacity.
• NiMHs have no toxic lead or mercury, and a life expectancy of 500 charge/discharge cycles or more,
provided the battery is not overcharged or heavily discharged. Recycle according to local disposal
laws. Do not dispose of in fire. They will explode.
WARNING: Be sure to use genuine TRITAN 365 replacement parts. Using another manufacturer's
replacement parts could affect product performance and will void the warranty.
REMOVING THE FILTER PROTECTOR
The outer rubber filter protector may be removed periodically to clean the filter. Peel around the edge of the
filter protector to remove it. The filter should remain inside the protector. Turn the inner lamp-housing ring
clockwise in bayonet fashion to remove it and to reach the faceplate. Without removing the screws, gently pull
the LED assembly away from the handle, and you will see the serial number on the edge of the assembly.
Push the assembly back into the handle and replace the housing ring and the filter protector.
REPLACING THE UV LENSES
The UV lenses (UL-100) that cover the three UV LEDs must be replaced periodically. They will solarize
(become cloudy and yellow) over time from repeated use. After removing the rubber filter protector and
lamp-housing ring, remove the two screws on the faceplate of the lamp head assembly. Replace the UV
lenses and reattach the faceplate, housing ring and filter protector.
CHANGING THE LAMP CORD
• The appropriate cord for the country of destination will be installed on the lamp when it is ordered.
To change the cord, remove it by sliding the rubber, strain-relief boot down and away from the lamp
handle to reveal the jam nut and the tightening nut (see Figure 1). To separate the cord from the
lamp, turn the jam nut a quarter turn with a wrench while holding the tightening nut in place. Leave the
jam nut on the handle. (Do not remove the connector nut.) Turn the tightening nut counterclockwise to
remove it from the lamp's terminal.
• To attach a new cord, align the small peg on the lamp handle's terminal to the corresponding groove
on the cord's terminal connector (see Figure 2), and push them together carefully so that the pins
do not become bent. Tighten the jam nut clockwise up to the connector nut on the handle until it
is fully seated. Turn the tightening nut clockwise up to the seated jam nut, then turn the jam nut
counterclockwise to lock the connection.
• When the connection is secure, pull the rubber, strain-relief boot up as tightly as possible. Note that
the jam nut may not always be flush with its counterpart on the lamp handle, that is, some threads on
the handle may still be visible. This is normal.
REPLACING THE PARTICULATE FILTER ASSEMBLY
After repeated use, the foam particulate filter may need to be replaced. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into
the notch on the filter assembly and pry the two halves apart. Replace it with a new filter assembly.
NOTE: The serial number is etched on the top of the handle right below the particulate filter assembly.
MEASURING LAMP INTENSITY
To ensure that your TRITAN 365 series lamp is operating at the required UV intensity, it should be
checked periodically. The AccuMAX™ XRP-3000 radiometer/photometer kit uses a dual-wavelength
UV-A/VIS sensor detector to accurately measure ultraviolet irradiance and provide visible measurement
from a UV-A light source. The AccuMAX™ XR-1000 digital readout unit with the XS-365 UV sensor or
the Spectroline DM-365XA digital readout unit can also be used for UV-A measurement. The meters are
specially designed to measure the UV irradiance with wavelengths of 320–400nm with peak at 365nm.
For visible measurement, the AccuMAX
XRP-3000 or the XR-1000 with the XS-555I sensor detector will accurately measure the visible light from
460–675nm with peak at 555nm.
