(2)Hollow cathode lamps, if left unused for a long time, may not function properly or even ignite due to gas leakage, gas adsorption, and other reasons. So, every3—4Within a month, infrequently used lights should be powered on and ignited2—3Hours to maintain the performance of the lamp and extend its lifespan.

(3)Hollow cathode lamps will decay after a period of use, resulting in unstable luminescence, reduced intensity, increased noise, and decreased sensitivity. In this case, an activator can be used to activate it. Alternatively, the cathode and anode of the hollow cathode lamp can be reversed and powered on for half an hour at the specified maximum working current. After activation treatment, the performance of most hollow cathode lamps is restored to a certain extent, extending the service life of the lamp.

(4)Using low melting point elements for accumulation(asAsTheSewait)When using hollow cathode lamps, significant vibration should be avoided, and other lamps should not be replaced immediately after use. They need to be cooled before replacement.

(5)When removing or loading hollow cathode lamps, the lamp holder should be held instead of the lamp tube, and the quartz window of the lamp should not be touched to prevent the lamp tube from breaking or the window from being contaminated, which may cause a decrease in light energy. If you find oil stains, fingerprints, or other dirt on the window, you can use degreasing cotton to stick it on1：3Gently wipe with a mixture of alcohol and ether(Wet weather can increase the proportion of ether).

(6)Once the hollow cathode lamp is broken, the cathode material is exposed to the outside. In order to prevent certain harmful elements on the cathode material from affecting human health, the harmful materials should be disposed of according to regulations and should not be thrown randomly.
