Safety Precautions
1-1. Classification of Warning Instructions
Warning instructions in this manual and on labels are
classified as described below. As each word and sym-
bol carry special meanings, familiarize yourself with
them and observe the instructions.
This means that possible death or
serious injury to the operator may
result if these instructions are ig-
nored and the equipment handled
incorrectly.
This means that injury to the operator
and damage to the equipment may re-
sult if these instructions are ignored
or the equipment handled incorrectly.
This symbol means that the instruction
describes the special care required when
handling the product.
Read it carefully and use the product safely.
This symbol means that the instruction de-
scribes prohibited item or action.
Read it carefully and never attempt a pro-
hibited action.
This symbol means that the instruction de-
scribes an action that must be performed.
Read it carefully and be sure to perform as
instructed.
This symbol means that the instruction
describes that the care should be taken to
ensure full performance of the equipment.
Read it carefully to use the product prop-
erly and safely.
If these instructions are ignored or when
using the equipment, may fail to function
as it should.
Make sure to read these “Safety Precautions” carefully before
starting to use the equipment and observe them during operation.
WARNING
CAUTION
1-2. Safety Instructions
●
Light
• This equipment fall within IEC 62471 “Photobiological
safety standards for lamps and lamp systems” (estab-
lished by International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) in 2006).
• This equipment emits very strong ultraviolet light which
is harmful to eyes and the skin. Also, as the light ema-
nating from the light guide connection aperture con-
tains infrared light in addition to ultraviolet light, its ir-
radiation will cause heat generation. Be sure to observe
following instructions for operation of the equipment.
Never
look directly into the light guide connection aper-
ture or at the light emanating from the light guide. Strong
ultraviolet light can cause visual disorder.
DO NOT
allow light to come into contact with skin. Con-
tact with skin may cause sunburn-grade inflammation. Al-
ways wear safety glasses, gloves, and other appropriate
protective gear when operating this equipment.
Never
allow light from the light guide to radiate onto flam-
mable material.
The unit includes an interlock that prevents the lamp from
lighting while the lamp cover is open.
Never
attempt to
override the interlock function by manually depressing
the switch, as this may result in uncontrolled release of
dangerous ultraviolet light.
●
Operating Environment
This equipment is designed and tested for use in an in-
dustrial environment. If this equipment is used in residen-
tial areas, EMI (electro-magnetic interference) may occur.
This equipment must not be used in residential areas.
●
High-Voltage Trigger
The mercury-xenon lamp employed started by a high-volt-
age (30 kV) pulse applied at the lamp electrodes. As protec-
tion against accidental electrical shock hazard, the design
includes an interlock switch that disables lamp operation
while the lamp cover is open. Never attempt to turn on the
lamp by blocking the sensor window of the interlock switch.
●
Lamp Replacement
The inside of the lamp housing becomes extremely hot
during lamp operation. Before replacing the lamp, switch
it off and run the cooling fan for at least 15 minutes.
Always exercise due caution when handling or replacing
a lamp. A lamp contains high-pressure gas [approximately
1 MPa (10 atmospheres) at room temperature, approxi-
mately 4 MPa (40 atmospheres) during operation] and
may burst if dropped or otherwise impacted.
●
Inhibition of Removal and Modification
Do not remove the cover unless absolutely necessary
and never touch any of the screws inside the unit. As
the internal components of this unit have been precisely
adjusted, disassembling or modifying the equipment can
cause problems with the unit, fire and electrical shock.
