ONSIDERATIONS
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,
maintenance, or use can cause fire, electrical shock, or
other conditions which may cause personal injury or
property damage. Consult your supplier or Steril-Aire for
information or assistance.
Understand the signal words
DANGER
,
WARNING
, or
CAUTION
. These words are universally used for overall
safety.
DANGER
identifies the most serious hazards
which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
signifies hazards which could result in
personal injury or death.
CAUTION
is used to identify
unsafe practices resulting in minor personal injury or
product and property damage.
WARNING: Before performing maintenance or
service on fixture, ensure unit is unplugged.
Electrical shock can cause injury or death.
CAUTIONS:
Never expose eyes or skin to UVC light.
Wear gloves, face shield/glasses (per ANSI
Z87.1) and cover all exposed skin.
Do not touch Emitter
glass without gloves.
Damage to Emitter may result. Oil from
fingerprints will permanently etch glass of
Emitter and weaken structure. If necessary,
clean Emitter using a Steril-Aire cleaning kit
(isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free wipe may
be substituted).
Voltages outside of the range designed for
the unit will void the warranty and do
permanent damage to the entire unit.
Emitter contains a small quantity of mercury.
If an Emitter breaks, clean and dispose of
with care.
UVC energy may cause damage to non-
metallic components except for UV-rated and
HVAC-style drain pans. Select mounting
locations
that
prevent
exposure
to
vulnerable
components.
If
mounting
locations are limited, such components shall
be protected with UV resistant material such
as aluminum foil, aluminum duct tape,
metallic shields, etc.
The qualified installer must use factory kits
and
accessories
when
installing
this
product.
