Safety
The installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the UV system must be
performed by trained and authorised personnel at all times. These appropriately qualified
personnel must have read and understood the relevant sections of this Manual, and the
safety-relevant sections in particular.
If in any doubt, please contact your specialist dealer or the head office of the
manufacturer UMEX GmbH. Full contact details are provided at the front of the

Before opening or installing the system, ensure it is not connected to power or pressure
lines.
Before cleaning, maintenance or replacing machine parts, isolate the system from all
power sources.
Always follow the operating instructions and comply with the permissible technical
specifications that are appropriate for the specific application.
Always observe occupational safety and accident prevention regulations, and comply
with any other generally recognised health and safety at work standards.
Before commissioning the UV system, ensure that all of the safety-related requirements
have been fulfilled and that safety mechanisms are in working order.
The UV system must only be used under the operating conditions for which the system
has been specifically designed (flow rate, SAC, etc.).
The UV system must be taken offline immediately if components are damaged or are not
in proper working order. All structural or technical modifications to the UV system are
PROHIBITED.
2.1.3 Safety instructions
Potential risks for personnel and/or the UV system itself are listed, assigned to the
respective sections in this Manual and marked with these symbols.

Risks are assigned to one of two categories:
UV-related risks = hazard arising from UVC radiation

followed.
Non-UV-related risks = hazard arising from work with electrical power or other
machine handling risks
Danger of malfunctions/damage to the UV system if the appropriate
safety precautions are not followed.
