UV-MAX Safe Operation Procedure
1. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating UV-MAX to limit
exposure to light
2. Place UV-MAX in area to betreated
3. Ensure the PIR Sensors (Passive Infrared) are positioned to the re-entry point. PIR
sensors operations are explained in the FAQ section at the end of this manual.
4. Connect UV-MAX to 120vac plugreceptacle
5. Press start on UV-MAX control and exit treatment area
6. Adhere to recommended safety precautions to avoid potential injury
Safety
1. You should never look directly at a UV lamp inoperation without wearing approved
safety glasses. Safety glasses should be made of any material other than Quartz or
Teflon.
2. The space should be vacant and closed prior to UV-MAXoperation
3. Never command the system on when the treatment space is occupied

Safety Guidelines
Long term exposure to ultraviolet light is dangerous. UV-C can produce eye injuries and skin
irritation similar to a sun burn over prolonged exposure. These effects are considered
transient. UV-C may also be carcinogenic but since it has very limited penetrating ability it is
unlikely to cause damage to anything besides the outer layer of skin or other exposed
surfaces.
The Energenics UV-MAX is designed for zero user exposure to UV-C; however, we will
review safety factors regarding UV-C for better knowledge and understanding.
Protective Clothing and Eyewear
It is not recommended that any personnel be subject to direct UV-C exposure. In the event
such exposure is probable, personnel should wear PPE providing full coverage of exposed
skin and appropriate eye protection.
UV-C safety glasses designed to filter UV-C and those of the wrap-around type are recommended.
Safety glasses should be made of any material other than Quartz or Teflon.
OSHA Guidelines for Ultraviolet Exposure
OSHA provides technical guidance regarding protecting employees from ultraviolet light with
respect to laser hazards only.
OSHA has two standards that cover employee exposure to radiation: Nonionizing
Radiation (29 CFR 1910.97) and Ionizing Radiation (29 CFR 1910.1096). You may access a
copy of the OSHA radiation standards from their website at http://www.osha.gov.
The non-ionizing radiation standard only covers the radio frequency region, including
microwaves. The ionizing radiation standard covers alpha, beta, gamma, and X-rays;
neutrons; high-speed electrons and protons; and other atomic particles; but does not
include sound or radio waves, or visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light. Therefore, there are
no OSHA-mandated employee exposure limits to ultraviolet radiation.

to surfaces. Exposure times vary based on furthest distance from the UV-
C source. The system design provides the optimum in:
oUV dosage output to footprintserved
oRugged design build
oEase of use controls
oUser safety protection

FAQ
Q: What is a PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensor?
A: Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some
security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human
body.
Radiation (energy) is invisible to the human eye but can be detected by electronic
devices designed for such a purpose.
The term 'passive' in this instance means the PIR does not emit any energy of any type
but merely sits 'passive' accepting infrared energy through the 'window' in its housing.
An intruder entering the protected area is detected when the infrared energy emitted
from the intruder's body is focused by a Fresnel lens or a mirror segment and overlaps a
section on the chip which had previously been looking at some much cooler part of the
protected area.
That portion of the chip is now much warmer than when the intruder wasn't there.
As the intruder moves, so does the hot spot on the surface of the chip.
This moving hot spot causes the electronics connected to the chip to de-energize the
relay, operating its contacts, thereby activating the detection input on the alarm control
panel.
Q: Is UV-C disinfection strictly line of sight?
A: Yes, it needs to shine on the surface to disinfect. It will not go around objects or
disinfect shadowed areas.
Q: Does UV-C light reflect off surfaces?
A: Yes, it reflects off many surfaces, but loses intensity dramatically if the surface is not
highly polished like the Stainless Steel center installed on our unit.
Q: Is the UV-C light I can see under the door dangerous?
A: Zero exposure to people is imperative so block it or protect your eyes and skin (please
note: 254nm UV-C wavelength is invisible, what is seen is visible light)

15
FAQ
Q: Does UV-C light go through glass or windows?
A: Standard window glass blocks almost 100% of UV-C light according to the IUVA.
(Normal glass, as used in a window, is transparent to UV radiation to a wavelength of
about 330 nm (UV-A). The transparency is quite high so almost all UV-A light will pass
through glass. Below 330 nm (UV-B and UV-C), almost 100% is blocked by normal
glass.
Q: Can I use an ATP Meter with the UV MAX
A: Yes, it can be used to measure how clean a surface is
Q: Can I use a response card with the UV MAX?
A: Yes, it can be used to indicate the correct dosage (intensity x
time x distance) has been applied to a surface
