2 - Safety Information

NOTE: All UVP High Performance Transilluminators are powerful sources
of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can cause damage to unprotected eyes
and skin. Be sure all personnel in the area are properly trained and
protected before operating any unit that uses UV radiation.

It is further recommended that the transilluminator be installed and operated in a
darkroom where access and exposure is limited while the unit is in operation. If a
darkroom is unavailable, UVP offers a wide selection of darkrooms or a shroud,
which provide protection from accidental exposure. For your safety and for the
safety of those around you, the transilluminator in a UVP darkroom is controlled
through the darkroom, and each darkroom is equipped with a safety switch that
controls the power to the transilluminator to prevent accidental exposure.

Each transilluminator is shipped with an ultraviolet blocking cover. Even though
the cover blocks out the UV radiation emitted by the unit, we recommend the
usage of UV blocking eyewear for additional protection.
