System Overview
(continued)
UVC Lamps
The Fogg UVC lamps are extremely powerful and should be treated with appropriate caution. Refer to the safety
section for precautions.
UV-C light can kill micro-organisms when they are exposed to it for enough time. The rate at which micro-
organisms are killed depends on the wavelength of the light, the intensity of the light, and the exposure time.
Depending on the application, the Fogg Microb-Blaster
®
Air Sanitizer has been designed to kill in a range of 90%
to 99.99% of all potentially harmful organisms.
Light Box
The heart of the Fogg Microb-Blaster® Air Sanitizer is the UV-C lamp chamber (the light box). This stainless-
steel structure is made up of the external shell and internal reflectors/lamp holders.
Lamp Life
The lamps have a Fogg-rated life of 9000 hours of operation. 9000 hours is the point at which the actual output of
UV-C light may start to drop below 90% of the original, and the risk of inadequate dosage exceeds allowable
tolerances.
Air Infeed
The Fogg Microb-Blaster
®
Air Sanitizer uses forced-air for both cooling the UV-C lamps and for feeding air into the
UV-C box.
Air Filtration
The air filter is located at the bottom of the machine, below the air intake fan. The filter prevents particles from
entering and contaminating the Microb-Blaster
®
Air Sanitizer system enclosure. Be sure to inspect the filter every
month, as noted in the PM section.
Changing the Air Filter
The Microb-Blaster
®
Air Sanitizer air filter simply slides in and out to make inspection and changing easier.
Power Supply
On the backside of the machine is an on/off switch, power cable, and power supply fuse. CAUTION: Do not
tamper with the three prongs or remove the grounding prong.
