IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a) 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.
b) 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. 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.
