Curing Do's and Don'ts

• Do's

  • Check batteries in UV Light.

  • Keep log of hours UV Light has been used.

  • Check expiration date on Norland 81 UV Adhesive.

  • Store Norland 81 UV Adhesive properly as per technical data sheet.

  • Follow Pine Valley termination instructions for UV connectors.

  • Prepare a test piece for curing.

• Don'ts

  • Do not use any batteries other than alkaline w/tester on them.  Adapters are not recommended and are hazardous to use with alkaline batteries.

  • Exceeding approximately 1000 hours operating time will weaken UV ability.

  • If Norland 81 UV Adhesive has been left out in heat and not stored as per technical data sheet instructions, viscosity will be affected and its sensitizer will decrease.

If batteries are weak, or light has reached 1000 hours operating time, curing of connectors may be affected.  The lamp may operate electrically fro many thousands of hours after it ceases to emit adequate UV light, therefore Pine Valley recommends 1000 operating time for the UV light.

Remember: Check batteries, UV Light, & Norland 81 before you terminate.
