By adding one ADD-ON device to the original MASTER device,
the number of bulbs doubles to create a
compact and efficient 4-bulb "1M+1A" (1 MASTER plus 1 ADD-ON)
multidirectional system.
At the yellow arrow, note that the lower mounting brackets have been deployed
to hold the bottom of the MASTER device to the wall.
These brackets prevent the bottom of the MASTER device from being pulled away
from the wall when ADD-ON devices are being positioned by pulling on the handles.
|
For storage, the ADD-ON device in the 1M+1A system can be closed to hide the MASTER device,
but for full 180° closure, the key first needs to be removed from the switchlock.
This folded configuration is also a good way to transport two devices together [inset],
by simply fastening the hinge lugs together on both sides (at all four corners).
This makes for an amazingly transportable 66-lb 2-device package,
with great bulb protection. Just don't drop it.

A particularly elegant setup is this 3-device 1M+2A 6-bulb system,
assembled with one ADD-ON device on each side of the MASTER.
Note that there are TWO receptacles on top of the MASTER device,
to accept ADD-ON device connection cables from BOTH sides of the MASTER,
if that is the preferred arrangement.
This 6-bulb multidirectional setup can deliver about the same total amount of Narrowband UVB light as a 10-bulb flat panel,
as explained in our
multidirectional versus flat-panel performance comparison webpage.
|
ADD-ON devices can alternatively be installed to just one side of the MASTER,
such as two ADD-ONs on the left side of the MASTER as shown here.
Note how the left-most ADD-ON cable connects to the middle ADD-ON device,
and the middle ADD-ON cable in turn to the MASTER device.
Outermost devices always have an empty receptacle awaiting future ADD-ON devices.

Connect another ADD-ON to get this 4-device 1M+3A
8-bulb system.
With each device added, the treatment area AND ultraviolet light power (irradiance) increases.
The system expands so the devices can be individually angled to surround the patient's body.
|
Storage of the 1M+3A system is rather nice; with the two outer devices folding over to hide the two middle devices.
The folded assembly is just 25 inches wide by about 7 inches thick.
The switchlock key must be removed for complete closure.

|
By adding a 4th ADD-ON device,
the maximum number of devices connected to one MASTER device has been reached.
There are no special electrical requirements for this configuration;
it uses a common household 120-volt, 15-amp, 3-prong (grounded) outlet.
The yellow arrows point to the handles that are used to together position ALL the devices on their side of the MASTER.
|
The two outermost devices in the 1M+4A system can be folded over to reduce the storage width to 38" wide,
best arranged with the MASTER device in the center as shown.
The handles are vertically staggered so that left-side handles do not interfere with right-side
handles when they are close to each other.

|
If more than five devices are needed, a second MASTER device must be added.
In this picture, a 2M+6A assembly has been created and formed into an 8-device octagonal booth.
The same assembly could have also just as easily been formed into an oval shaped booth,
to conform to a less round patient body shape.
Countless variations
are possible.

|
Two more ADD-ON devices have been added to create this large 10-device C-shape configuration.
Usually the MASTER devices would be located next to each other,
so their timers are more easily operated simultaneously.
In very rare cases where more than 10 devices are needed, a third MASTER device would be required.

For scaled drawings of some of the many different assembly configurations, see the
E-Series Technical webpage.
|
For electrical safety,
at the top of the MASTER device a fused power inlet limits the total number of devices in the assembly.
If more than four (4) ADD-ON devices are connected, the fuse will blow.
A spare 10-amp fuse is located in the fuse drawer shown open here.
|
Naturally, as with any door, a pinch-point gap is unfortunately created between adjacent devices.
This gap is at it's smallest of about 1/4" wide when the devices are fully open 180° to form a flat panel.
The devices should therefore only be moved by using the handles provided, and hands kept away from the gap.
|
To minimize the danger that this pinch-point presents,
ADD-ON devices are supplied with four thin-film Gap-Seals that can be installed under the sides of the reflector
of adjacent devices; shown partially installed here.
|
The Gap-Seals are thin and flex when the devices are opened and closed and minimize the chance that someone will
close the pinch-point gap onto their fingers.
The Gap-Seals should be installed if there are fears that the handles might not always be used to position the devices,
if children are around, or to minimize the amount of UV light spilled out into the room.
