The ME5E eprom eraser is designed for simple low-volume applications requiring controlled UV exposure. This model is a robust table top design that is constructed to operate consistently and reliably over a long life.
The ME5E incorporates advanced features to ensure dependable erasure and operator safety. A safety interlock prevents any UV leakage and the filtering action of the quartz glass tube minimises ozone separation.
A panel indicator shows the erasing cycle and the sample tray is designed to facilitate on-board erasing.
The UV wavelength of 253.7nm at initial exposure levels of 4000uW/sq cm ensures complete erasure in typically 15 minutes or less but the light output reduces with use, causing the time to increase. For more information on exposure time and how to replace UV lamps see "Operating Instructions".
The ME5E unit is designed to operate from 230V at 50Hz. At lower voltages, satisfactory operation is achieved with slightly extended exposure time proportional to the voltage reduction.
