EUROPEAN UNION DIRECTIVE ON WEEE AND RoHS
The European Union has issued two directives:
• Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The objective of the WEEE directive is to promote “….the reuse, recycling and other forms
of recovery of such wastes (WEEE) so as to reduce the disposal of waste besides
improving the environmental performance of all operators involved in the life cycle
of electrical and electronic equipment, e.g. producers, distributors and
consumers….” and hence this directive refers to the disposal of this cabinet within
the EU. A “wheelie bin” sticker (shown alongside) has to be pasted on all products
covered by this directive, indicating that at the time of disposing of the product, it
should not be grouped together with general unsorted municipal waste. Instead,
distributors of electrical and electronic equipment should be responsible for the collection and
scrapping of the products they have sold Please note that this cabinet has been classified as
“fixed industrial equipment” and hence the WEEE directive is not applicable to its disposal.
• Directive 2002/95/EC on Restriction on the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

CHAPTER I
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Air Science®range of UV-Boxes is a series of high-efficiency chambers designed to safely decontaminate
contents while providing for a safe work environment for the operator. High intensity UV lamps are positioned
within the cabinet producing short wave ultraviolet light at 254nm to destroy exposed surface DNA and
bacteria, leaving evidence free of contamination prior to other forensic tests, analysis or procedures.

CHAPTER II
UNPACKING YOUR CABINET
This chapter aims to provide relevant information on how to handle the cabinet properly
upon receipt. Failure to follow the following instructions may damage the cabinet. We strongly
advise you to read this chapter carefully before proceeding further.
2.1 STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE
1. Inspecting the crate, pallet, boxes
Upon receipt of your new cabinet, inspect all cartons. If there is any visible damage to the
exterior please refer to freight claim information.
2. Moving the Pallet
The pallet is designed to protect our cabinet from any foreseeable circumstances. However,
excessive impact onto the boxes or pallet may also damage the cabinet. Prevent any direct
impact or hitting to the pallet when moving.
b. When lifting the pallet, please always ensure that the floor jack or mechanical lift truck has
always entered fully under the pallet in order to achieve stability. Failure to do so will increase the
risk of the pallet falling off the floor jack or mechanical lift truck during handling. Please use a
suitable extension bar when the situation arises.
3. Opening the Boxes
If you did not receive one or more of the parts listed on the packing checklist, or if any of the
items are damaged, please contact your distributor or Air Science immediately for further
instructions.
4. Removing the packaging material
The cabinet is protected by Styrofoam, cardboard, and or and shrink-wrap.
If you find any damage during this stage of unpacking please refer to freight claim information.
t is the best practice to leave the cabinet secured with straps to the pallet until the cabinet is
located in its approximate final position to facilitate ease and safety in handling.
Choosing the best location for your cabinet in order to achieve optimum operating
performance of your cabinet is determined by a number of factors. Please refer to the next
chapter for some guidelines.
5. Moving the cabinet
When lifting the pallet with the cabinet, please always ensure that the floor jack or mechanical lift
truck has always entered fully under the pallet. This is to increase the stability of the cabinet and
reduce the risk of the cabinet falling down. Please use extension bar when necessary. During the
moving of the cabinet, please ensure there is enough distance between the supports of pallet and
the ground. Dragging the pallet against the ground (at one side or otherwise) will damage the
pallet and possibly your new cabinet.
6. Removing the strapping
Remove the strapping by cutting it at a safe position to prevent any scratch on the surface of your
new cabinet.
Do not discard the packaging material for your cabinet until you have checked all of the
components, installed and tested the unit.
7. Lifting the cabinet
The Cabinet can be lifted in two sections: The HEAD unit and ENCLOSURE.
Install the cabinet on the existing work surface or Air Science support stand (if ordered)
NOTE:
When installing the cabinet onto an existing work surface, ensure that the structure can safely
support the combined weight of the cabinet and any related equipment. Some modifications to
the work surface may be necessary.

CHAPTER III
INSTALLING YOUR CABINET
3.1 CHOOSING A SUITABLE LOCATION
Location impacts the nature and extent of external airflow disturbances, which may affect performance of
the cabinet when it is exposed to these disturbances.
When installing the cabinet, it should be located as far away as possible from sources of airflow
disturbance and in an orientation which optimally shields the cabinet’s airflow from all external airflow
disturbances. Please note that the cabinet should not be placed close to another cabinet.
Please follow these guidelines when choosing a suitable location for your cabinet:
The location must be far away from :
a. personnel traffic flows
b. air vents (in and out)
c. door and window
d. any other sources of disruptive air currents or air drafts
If drafts or other disruptive air currents exceed the face velocity of the filter, the potential exists for
contaminated air to enter the work zone of the cabinet.
A minimum distance of 50 cm to the top of the ceiling is recommended for blower changing purpose.
A clearance of 183 cm (6ft) in front of cabinet is strongly advised in order to maintain proper airflow.
Please permit adequate space for cleaning behind the cabinet.
3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL/ELECTRICAL CONDITIONS
The equipment is designed to be safe for at least the following conditions:
Indoor use
Altitude < 6,500 ft (2,000 m)
5ºC to 40ºC (41ºF to 104ºF) Ambient
Relative Humidity <80% up to 31ºC (88ºF) decreasing to <50% at 40ºC (104ºF)

2. Inspect your cabinet carefully, should you find any defect please refer to the freight claim
information and our warranty terms and conditions
4. Peal off any protective masking that was left on the cabinet during manufacturing.
3. Wipe down the interior and exterior of the cabinet with water or a mild household detergent.
