b) Securely fix the carbon. It must not come loose during operation.
c) When the remaining length of carbon is short, when ash adheres to the glass globe, or when abnormal
combustion of carbon occurs, check the gas check plate, glass globe, etc.
The light section and electrical system must be inspected and maintained.
Handling gloves a) Polish and wash glass gloves after each use and dry them thoroughly before use. To prevent burn-in, do not
turn on the light with hand marks, fingerprints, etc. on it.
b) The ultraviolet transmittance of glass globes decreases rapidly within the first 100 hours, so for short-term
tests, it is preferable to use glasses that have been used for 100 hours.
c) Glass globes shall be free from damage. In particular, the surface in close contact with the gas check plate
must be free of cracks and chips.
d) The operating time shall not exceed 2 000 hours. For models with two light-emitting parts, in order to average
the amount of irradiation on the test piece surface, the glass globes should not be replaced at the same time, but
should be replaced at different times, one at a time every 1,000 hours.
It is desirable to replace it. For control purposes, each glass globe is marked with the date of first use and
verification.
It is a good idea to write down the number etc. using an oil-based felt pen.

Arc voltage/ a) Check the arc voltage and current at least 15 minutes after the arc is lit, and adjust as necessary.
Adjusting the b) It is recommended to check at least twice every 20 or 24 hours. Especially at night, the input voltage often
current rises, so care must be taken.
Adjusting spray When water pressure changes, the pressure reducing valve must be adjusted. Water pressure at certain times

Please note that fluctuations may occur.
Handling of wick The new wick used for the F type or the wick used for humidity detection is flexible and has sufficient. However,
during use, dust and water scale may adhere and harden, reducing the water absorption capacity.Therefore, check
the condition of the wick by visual inspection and touch from time to time, and wash it if necessary.
It must be washed or replaced with a new one.
others When starting the test machine, check the operating conditions of the light emitting part, rack or drum rotation
mechanism, blower, etc.
status must be confirmed
10.3 Handling of black panel thermometers Handling of black panel thermometers is as follows.
10.3.1 For bimetal type
a) Prepare two black panel thermometers, one for measurement and one for calibration, and perform
comparative calibration at least once every six months to confirm accuracy.
b) When installing or removing the black panel thermometer, be careful not to apply shocks, scratches,
or splash water on it.
c) To read the black panel thermometer, attach the black panel thermometer to the rack or drum, and
once the indicated temperature has stabilized, read it at least three times in a row for each rotation of the rack
or drum, calculate the average value, and then Take the temperature indicated by the thermometer. For the W
type, perform this operation without spraying.
10.3.2 In the case of electronic type: Use a calibration device (11) to perform comparative calibration at least
once every six months to confirm accuracy.
Note (11) Includes bimetallic black panel thermometer (for calibration).

Annex (normative) Method of measuring irradiance and radiation exposure

1. Scope This annex specifies the method for measuring the irradiance and radiant exposure of the test
equipment.

2. Type Irradiance measurement shall be made by one of the following methods.

a) Method using an irradiance meter
b) Method using a spectrophotometer

3. Measurement method The measurement method is as follows.

a) When using an irradiance meter To use an irradiance meter, turn on a carbon arc lamp, attach a phototube or
photocell receiver to a rack alongside the test piece, and rotate the test piece around the light source, or Fix
the receiver at a position 254 ± 1 mm from the arc center and measure the radiation exposure (J/m2), divide
that value by the measurement time to find the average irradiance (W/m2), or Measure direct irradiance
(W/m2).
b) When using a spectrophotometer To use a spectrophotometer, turn on a carbon arc lamp, fix the light
receiving part of the spectrophotometer in a position where it will not be affected by heat, and measure the
relative spectral distribution. After measurement, spectral irradiance is corrected using a standard light bulb,
and then converted to irradiance (W/m2) at the position of the test piece surface.
Remarks
1. The method specified in JIS K 7363 etc. may be used to determine the spectral irradiance. However, since
these methods are mainly specified for measuring sunlight, they must be modified before they can be used in
testing equipment.
2. A practical method for calibrating a light source is to use reference materials such as test pieces specified in
JIS K 7200 and blue scale specified in JIS L 0841.
