The PhotoDoc-It System is designed to be simple to both set up and use. The system components include:
 Hood Enclosure
 Digital Color Camera
 Ethidium Bromide Filter
 Transilluminator
 Color Printer
 USB Interface Cable
 Combination Lock
CAUTION: Do not install the system in places with high moisture, dust or high temperature. Do not use any oil or
petroleum-based cleaners on the cabinet. Use only a mild soap or detergent solution for cleaning. Ensure that the
system is unplugged during cleaning.
NOTE: Keep the equipment away from motors or other large magnetic equipment.
Placing the Hood on the Transilluminator
The hood enclosure is used with a Benchtop UV transilluminator. Additional instructions for the transilluminator are
supplied in a separate manual.
CAUTION: All UVP transilluminators are powerful sources of UV radiation that can cause damage to unprotected eyes
and skin. Before operating any unit, be sure all personnel in the area are properly protected, including wearing UV-
blocking eyewear. Refer to Replacement Parts/Accessories for UV-blocking eyewear ordering information.
1. Remove the UV blocking clear cover
from the transilluminator if it has been
previously assembled. (The UV
blocking cover is recommended for use
when operating the transilluminator
without the hood enclosure installed.)
2. Connect the power cord to the back of
the transilluminator and to a power
source. The transilluminator switch is
on the front of the unit.
3. Place the PhotoDoc-it hood on top of
the transilluminator.

Ethidium Bromide Filter Installation
The Ethidium Bromide filter is installed inside the hood enclosure at the UVP factory. Installation or removal should not
be required during normal use. However, to remove or replace the filter, turn the hood upside down, loosen the
thumbscrews and remove the filter tray. To install, insert the filter into the tray, install the tray, tighten the thumbscrews
and place the hood in the upright position.
