PRODUCT APPLICATION
C
ONSTRUCTION
The Hygeaire ®
brand fixtures are categorized as indirect type germicidal fixtures, which utilize germicidal lamp(s)
with a series of louvers to direct ultraviolet rays to the upper areas of a room, thereby destroying bacteria and viruses
that are carried into the ultraviolet field by convection currents or air circulation.
The
Hygeaire ®
consists of; a Louver Panel, Parabolic Reflectors with specular aluminum inserts, Electronic Variable
Output Ballast, Germicidal Lamp, and Stainless Steel Housing.

IMITATIONS
Hygeaire ®
requires knowledgeable planning for; location, installation, and continued supervision to prevent exceed-
ing the ultraviolet radiant exposure incident Threshold Limit Value (TLV) set by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists. Currently the ultraviolet radiant exposure incident for unprotected skin or eyes
should not exceed 0.2 microwatts per square centimeter (µW/cm
2 ) at 254 nanometers (nm) for an eight (8) hour period.
Hygeaire ®
requires professional installation so all wiring complies with applicable local and national electrical codes.
Installation is permanent, and relatively inflexible.
Safety and maintenance procedures should be implemented to prevent accidental exposure of personnel, who might
enter the irradiated space (Electricians and other trades people in particular). All work performed (painting, new ceil-
ings, equipment or fixture installation, etc.) in the irradiated space must be monitored to insure that they do not
adversely impact the safety or effectiveness of the installation.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
1. Read and follow ALL safety instructions.
2. WARNING: Avoid exposure to direct or strongly reflected germicidal ultraviolet rays.
Germicidal ultraviolet rays are harmful to the eyes and skin.
3. Intended for indoor use only.
4. Do not alter the construction or design.
5. Do not override safety interlock.
6. Do not remove safety labels or devices.
7. CAUTION: Do not operate without proper electrical ground.
8. Do not operate without louver panel secured.
9. Use personal protection equipment, such as gloves, long sleeves with no gaps between cuffs and gloves, and
an ultraviolet resistant face shield, when entering the irradiated space above 6 ½ feet.
10. Utility power supplied, to the fixture, MUST match power requirements listed on the System label.
11. Always disconnect power, from the fixture, before performing any maintenance.
12. Read and follow all notices and warnings on the fixture.
13. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
