Detector Control
Viewing or Resetting the Lamp Age

The PDA, PDA-100, and PDA-3000 detectors allow you to display the number of hours the UV and visible lamps have been on. In addition, the lamp age can be reset to 0, if new lamps are installed.

The lamp age commands are available from the Commands dialog box. Select Command on the Control menu. Under UV, select UVLampAge or VisibleLampAge. The total number of hours the lamp has been on is displayed. The number of hours can also be changed from this dialog box.

The UV and Visible lamp ages can also be displayed on the Control Panel.

To do this for the PDA-100 detector, place a string display control on the control panel (see  Layout Toolbar). Then, on the Link tab page, link the control to the UV object property: UVLampAge for the UV lamp or VisibleLampAge for the visible lamp.

For the PDA 3000 detector, open the PDA-3000 panel and select Wellness…. The wellness panel displays the Operating Hours and Lamp Intensity of the lamps.
