Fluorescent Light 

The cabinet blower switch must be in the ON position for the fluorescent light to operate. 

This pushbutton switch controls the visible lighting inside the cabinet’s work area. Pressing the Fluorescent 
Light pushbutton switch will turn the light ON. A blue indicator light located below the switch will illuminate 
when the switch is on. Pressing the Fluorescent Light pushbutton switch when the light is on will turn the light 
OFF. If the cabinet blower is turned off, the Fluorescent Light will turn off. The Fluorescent Light and the 
optional UV light are interlocked so that they cannot be on simultaneously. 

Auxiliary Outlets 

This pushbutton switch controls the power to the outlets in the work area. Pressing the Outlet pushbutton switch 
will turn on the power to the outlets. A blue indicator light located below the switch will illuminate when the 
switch is on. Pressing the Outlet pushbutton switch when the outlets are on will turn the power to the outlets off. 

The outlet circuit is protected by a self-resetting circuit breaker which allows a total of 5 Amps on all outlets.  
This helps protect the cabinet controls from inadvertent overloads of the cabinet outlets.  

For 115V AC/ 60Hz cabinets the outlets are also protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter [GFCI].      
The GFCI outlet is typically installed in the left sidewall. If it is ‘tripped’ a red indicator on the GFCI is On and 
the RESET button on the front of the GFCI will be ‘extended.’ Once the fault condition is corrected press the 
RESET button to reset the GFCI.  There is also a TEST button on the front of the device. It is recommended 
that the GFCI device be tested periodically to assure safe operation. 

Ultraviolet (UV) Light [Optional] 

!!! WARNING !!! 

 

UV light is hazardous, DO NOT defeat the interlock! 

 

Eyes and skin should not be exposed to direct ultraviolet light. 

 

Ultraviolet light should not be relied upon as the sole decontaminating agent. 

 

NSF/ANSI 49 does not recommend the use of Ultraviolet Lighting for decontamination purposes. 
Additional surface disinfection should be performed both before and after every cabinet use. 

 

This pushbutton switch controls the operation of the UV light inside the work area. Pressing the UV pushbutton 
switch will turn the UV light ON. A yellow indicator light located below the switch will illuminate when the 
switch is on. . Pressing the UV pushbutton switch when the UV light is on will turn the UV light OFF. The UV 
light will automatically shut off if the view screen is opened.

 

The UV light and Fluorescent light are interlocked 

so that they cannot be on simultaneously. 

The operation of the UV lamp is interlocked with the view screen position.  The view screen sash must be fully 
closed for the UV lamp to be used.  

UV lamps lose their effectiveness over time. UV lamp intensity should be checked at least annually by a 
qualified certification technician. 

The view screen must be fully closed before the UV light can be energized. 

Alarm Reset 

This pushbutton switch is used to mute all audible alarms. Pressing the pushbutton switch will silence the 
current active alarm. There is a red LED located below the switch as a visual indication of an alarm condition.  
The LED indicator will continue to flash as long as an alarm condition exists. The Mute time is set for 5 
minutes. If the alarm condition is not corrected the audible alarm will reactivate at the end of the 5 minute mute 
time.
