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.

NSTALLATION
&
O
PERATION
NOTE: ENSURE THAT EMITTER IS INSTALLED BEFORE
POWER IS APPLIED. INSTALLING EMITTER AFTER
POWER HAS BEEN APPLIED WILL TRIGGER THE “END-
OF-LAMP-
LIFE CIRCUIT” AND THE EMITTER MAY FAIL TO
LIGHT. IF THIS HAPPENS, SHUT OFF POWER FOR 10
SECONDS AND THEN TURN POWER BACK ON. EMITTER
WILL THEN LIGHT.
1.
Consult all applicable codes before installing.
Check fixture label(s) for the correct power
requirements and supply the correct voltage
from a suitable, protected (fused), and grounded
power source.
2. For unitary air conditioners and smaller air
handler units, disconnect power from unit. For
larger units,
the Emitter access door or panel
should be interlocked with the power source to
turn Emitter(s) off when the system is opened. It
should have signs (provided) in appropriate
languages alerting maintenance personnel to
