IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a) This equipment is designed for use with germicidal UV radiation sources and must be
installed incompliance with competent technical directions to prevent risk of personal injury
from UV radiation.
b) UV radiation can pose a risk of personal injury. Over exposure 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. 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.)
c) 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.
d)
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.
e) Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be
subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
f) 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.
g) When replacing lamps, replace them only with the lamps for which the equipment is
marked and intended.
h) The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an
unsafe condition.
i) Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
