Accessories
Ultraviolet Carbon Rods: Specialized electrodes designed for 48-hour continuous discharge.
Specimen Holders: Stainless steel clips designed for standard $65text{mm} times 55text{mm}$ samples.
Black Panel Thermometer (BPT): For monitoring the surface temperature of the specimens.
Glass Filter Globes: High-transparency globes to protect the samples from combustion byproducts while transmitting the required UV spectrum.
Humidifier Wick/Atomizer: Components for the humidity generation system.
Test Procedures
1. Preparation of Samples
Measure and cut your test materials to the standard $65text{mm} times 55text{mm}$ size. Mount them securely into the specimen holders, ensuring the side to be tested is facing inward toward the light source.
2. Rod and Filter Installation
Install a new set of carbon rods into the lamp assembly. Clean the glass globe to ensure maximum UV transmission and place it over the arc assembly. Check the gap between the rods to ensure reliable ignition.
3. Parameter Configuration
Access the control panel to set the Black Panel Temperature (BPT) to the standard $63^{circ}text{C}$ and configure the humidity levels. Set the timer for the required test duration (up to 48 hours for a single rod cycle).
4. Initiating the Test
Start the air circulation and humidity systems first, then ignite the carbon arc. The specimen rack will begin to rotate around the light source to ensure that every sample receives an identical dose of radiation.
5. Final Assessment
Once the test cycle is complete, remove the samples. Compare the exposed specimens against an unexposed control sample or a standard Gray Scale to evaluate the degree of color change, fading, or physical degradation.
