2.1Safety Precautions

2.1.1CAUTION: Dangerous Ultraviolet Radiation

2.1.1.1Ultraviolet transilluminators are a powerful source of dangerous ultraviolet radiation. It is VERY IMPORTANT to protect your eyes and skin from exposure.

2.1.1.2The UV blocking shield blocks some of the dangerous ultraviolet radiation from exiting the UV transilluminator, but under no circumstances should the unprotected eyes or skin be exposed to the radiation. Ultra-Lum UV blocking covers, UV blocking shields, UV blocking glasses, UV blocking goggles, and UV blocking full face shields are available which when used in conjunction with long sleeve shirts or lab coats and gloves should provide adequate protection and allow safe handling of ultraviolet products without adverse effects. Ensure that all personnel in the area who are using or observing this equipment are adequately protected.

2.1.1.3DO NOT attempt to use an ultraviolet transilluminator without the UV blocking shield, as this will cause undesired exposure to dangerous Ultraviolet radiation.

2.1.1.4Refer to accessories section 2.6 for recommended ultra-violet safety equipment.

2.1.2CAUTION: Electrical Exposure

2.1.2.1Do not attempt to operate the transilluminator with the filter enclosure cover removed as this will expose the user to the HIGH VOLTAGE lamp power supply output circuitry as well as the HIGH VOLTAGE AC main’s circuitry.

2.1.2.2When lamp replacement is required, ensure that the AC mains line cord is NOT plugged into the AC wall receptacle. If the AC line cord is plugged in, there may be DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGE present at the lamp connectors.

2.1.2.3Never operate the system in or near water, or environments with high levels of moisture in the air.

2.1.3CAUTION: Read Manual

2.1.3.1Refer to the manual before operating this device.

2.1.4 CAUTION: Lamps contain Mercury

2.1.4.1Dispose according to Local, State, or Federal Laws

UltraViolet Devices UVB, UVA, UVC manual Specifications Safety Precautions

UVB, UVC, UVA specifications

UltraViolet Devices (UVD) has emerged as a leading innovator in the realm of ultraviolet (UV) technology, offering a comprehensive range of solutions that harness the power of UVB, UVA, and UVC wavelengths for various applications. Understanding these types of UV light and their respective characteristics is crucial for leveraging them effectively.

UVA (320-400 nm) is the longest wavelength among the three types and is primarily associated with tanning and skin aging. UVA light penetrates deeper into the skin, leading to significant photoaging and DNA damage over time. UVD has developed technologies that enable controlled exposure to UVA light for dermatological treatments, such as phototherapy for skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Their advanced systems are designed to provide a safe and consistent dose of UVA, enhancing the effectiveness of treatment while minimizing risks.

UVB (280-320 nm) is known for its role in stimulating the production of vitamin D in the skin and is often utilized in therapeutic and tanning applications. UVD’s UVB devices focus on precise output control, ensuring optimal exposure durations tailored to individual skin types and conditions. Their technologies aim to promote skin health while balancing the need for safety, resulting in solutions that are widely used in both clinical and personal settings.

UVC (100-280 nm) offers the most potent germicidal properties, making it invaluable in disinfection and sterilization applications. UVD leverages UVC technology in various sectors, including healthcare, hospitality, and food processing, where the elimination of pathogens is critical. Their UVC devices utilize high-intensity lamps that can effectively destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi on surfaces and in the air. Moreover, UVD’s UVC solutions are designed with safety features to prevent human exposure, ensuring that disinfection processes do not pose a threat to users.

The main features of UVD’s UV technologies include intuitive controls, robust construction, and energy-efficient designs. They prioritize user-friendliness and safety while maintaining high performance levels across all their products. UVD's commitment to innovation is evident in their ongoing research and development initiatives, consistently working to enhance the capabilities and applications of UV light.

In conclusion, UltraViolet Devices has positioned itself at the forefront of UV technology with a diverse portfolio that spans UVA, UVB, and UVC applications. Through cutting-edge features and thoughtful engineering, UVD continues to contribute to various fields, improving safety and health standards across the board.
