2.2 Safety Precautions
This series of cautions and warnings relate to the installation, operation and maintenance of the Kepri
system. They are also presented throughout this Installation/Reference Guide as applicable.
Read and follow all safety instructions at all times during the operation and maintenance of
this product. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.
1. This equipment is designed for use with germicidal UV radiation sources and must be installed in
compliance with competent technical directions to prevent risk of personal injury from UV
radiation.
2. UV radiation can pose a risk of personal injury. Overexposure can result in damage to eyes and
bare skin. To reduce the risk of overexposure, this equipment must be installed in accordance
with the manufacturer’s site planning recommendations and this user’s manual. This may include
instructions on the relative location of each germicidal system component, the minimum distances
between UV-generating devices and other objects or surfaces, and protection from line-of-sight
exposure to UV radiation in occupied spaces located above the equipment mounting area (e.g.
upper floor balconies, open staircases, etc.).
3. UV and optical radiation can be reflected by surrounding surfaces such as ceilings and walls.
Since the reflective properties of surfaces can vary widely, it should be considered as part of site
planning. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for selecting appropriate ceiling and wall
finishes.
4. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT PERSONS WILL NOT BE
EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE UV OR OPTICAL RADIATION DURING EQUIPMENT OPERATION.
THIS WILL REQUIRE THE INSTALLER TO CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT OF IRRANDIANCE
OR ILLUMINANCE LEVELS IN THE SURROUNDING OCCUPIED SPACES PRIOR TO
OCCUPANCY.
5. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to
tampering by unauthorized personnel.
6. Maintenance and servicing of this UV generating equipment shall be performed by authorized
personnel. Service personnel must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) if the
equipment will be in operation during the maintenance or servicing work. Contact the equipment
manufacturer for PPE recommendations and guidance.

only use the manufacturer’s approved replacement parts for which the
equipment is marked and intended.
