UVP EpiChemi II Darkroom - Manual (Page 6)

Always On - This setting overrides the safety switch with
the transilluminator always in the on mode. Users should
wear protective clothing and eyewear when the
darkroom is in the Always On mode to prevent exposure
to the UV.
3. The Overhead Light control knob has four options for
providing overhead diffused 254 and 365nm UV and
fluorescent white light for uniform epi-illumination.
Off - Place the overhead light switch in the Off mode when
not using the darkroom for applications requiring epi-
illumination.
White - Overhead white light illuminates when “white” is
selected.
365nm and 254nm - When either ultraviolet wavelength is
selected, the red light will illuminate to alert the user that
the light is in operation. The overhead lights are designed
to automatically turn off when the darkroom door is open.
4. The Transilluminator Tray accommodates a Benchtop
UV Transilluminator. The tray moves forward or back for
easy access to the transilluminator surface.
NOTE: When using the transilluminator with the darkroom
door open, UV exposure safety precautions, including pro-
tective eyewear and clothing, must be observed to prevent
harmful ultraviolet radiation exposure.
5. The Sample Platform folds backwards against the back
of the darkroom cabinet. Pull the platform down into a
horizontal position as shown in the picture. The sample
platform is designed for use when transillumination is not
required. The platform provides a surface for placement of
chemiluminescent blots with minimum background noise
interference.
6. The Gel Viewer has a pressure-sensitive clasp. Press firmly
to open the viewer. The glass is UV blocking while providing
a clear view to the transilluminator or platform surface for
visibility of samples without opening the door.
