Essence
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 antimicrobial 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 antimicrobial 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 IRRADIANCE 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) The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
h) Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
