material damage.
The maintenance mechanic should be acquainted with the entire contents of this user
manual.
Intensity of the usage is decisive for the degree of maintenance.
Examples of this are:
- Cleaning of the housing
- Cleaning the UV lamps (dirt causes a decrease in UV yield and the number of burning-
hours >500)
- Cleaning the reflector (dirt causes a decrease in UV yield and the number of burning-
hours >500)
2.5 Safety regulations
The DecoRad® Handmate UV 1800 meets the fundamental safety and health demands of
the relevant guidelines of the European Community.
Stay alert for dangerous situations!
2.6 UV radiation
Ultraviolet radiation (or UV) is a proven process to disinfect water, air and solid surfaces
which have been contaminated with micro-organisms. In addition to this, UV radiation is
well-known for its application as a catalyst in drying processes. The effects of UV as a
disinfectant have been extensively documented in scientific research.
UV radiation is a mixture of radiation of various wavelengths. In a rainbow, the visible part of
the UV radiation is ordered according to the length of the waves. Progressing from purple to
red, the waves become increasingly longer. The ultraviolet or UV has a wavelength shorter
than that of purple. This part of the UV radiation is not visible as well.

Most of the UV radiation we get comes through sunlight. Not all UV radiation reaches the
earth: a part is blocked by the ozone layer.
2.7 Risks of UV radiation
Both UVA and UVB can damage cells and genetic material, thus leading to skin cancer.
UVB poses the greater risk here. Even though scientists used to think that UVA was not
harmful, newer research has proven that UVA contributes 10 to 20 percent to the cancer
risk.
In order to protect itself against damage to genetic material, the skin tries to thicken itself
(after UVB exposure). Pigment cells create the substance melanin, which gives the skin a
brown colour. This means that when the skin tans, it has already been damaged.
Because the ozone layer is becoming increasingly thinner due to environmental
pollution, less UV radiation is absorbed, thus leading to an increase of skin cancer
occurrences.
In addition, the skin can burn under influence of UVA and UVB radiation. Burning is
accompanied by redness and in serious cases tremors, blisters, nausea and fever. In
the long term the skin will lose its elasticity, suffer from accelerated aging and will
remain sensitive for itching, pimples, etc.
Ultraviolet light can damage skin and eyes.
Wear the UV facial shield, protective clothes and gloves.
As a user, never look directly into a switched-on lamp.
Certain types of medication and cosmetics can increase sensitivity.

2.8 User
Carefully read through this user manual before operating the DecoRad®
Handmate UV 1800.
Before switching on the DecoRad® Handmate UV 1800, ensure that
the personal protection tools as described in the user manual are used.
The UV facial shield and skin covering clothes (including gloves) are
obligatory.
Dirt on the lamp and/or reflectors (e.g. from coatings or fingers)
can shorten the life span of the lamp or reduce the UV
effect. If needed, clean the cooled down lamp with isopropyl
alcohol and paper towel.
Please make sure that bystanders without appropriate UV protection are
at a safe distance of at least 6 meters / 20 ft
In order to prevent damage to the DecoRad® Handmate UV 1800 and the
user, the user is strictly prohibited to work with tools on the DecoRad®
Handmate UV 1800 in any other way than indicated in this user manual
for the purpose of maintenance.
VENTILATION
In case of using a UV C lamp keep the room ventilated.
The UV C lamp is full spectrum, so there is ozone production.
