Cleaning and Maintenance

 

System Cleaning 

Optic Lens 

Based on the cleanliness of your operating environment, establish a schedule for cleaning the LED Light-
Source Lens. When cleaning is required, shut the unit down and allow it to cool. Then clean the Lens surface 
(Figure 14) with a clean lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

Replace Cooling Fan Filters 

One Cooling Fan Filter is located on the Irradiator Head and one is located on the Controller. The procedure for 
cleaning or replacing the Cooling Fan Filter is similar on both components. One procedure is provided below.  

Based on the cleanliness of your operating environment, establish a schedule for cleaning the Cooling Fan 
Filter. When the Cooling Fan Filter shows signs of wear from cleaning and use, replace it with one of the spare 
Filters provided with your unit. Follow these steps to wash or replace the Cooling Fan Filter: 

1.

 

Unplug the unit. 

2.

 

Remove the Filter Cover by lifting it from the Irradiator Head (Figure 15)

3.

 

Remove the Foam Filter from the Filter Cover. 

4.

 

If the Foam Filter is serviceable, wash it with water and a mild detergent. Allow it to dry. 
If the Foam Filter is not serviceable, replace the Foam Filter with a new one supplied with your unit. 

5.

 

Install a Foam Filter in the Filter Cover. 

6.

 

Install the Filter Cover on the Fan. 

7.

 

Clear the error code on the Display Screen. To clear the code, press and hold the Run Button while 
turning on the power to the system.
