System Overview

UVC Lamps
The Fogg UVC lamps are extremely powerful and should be treated with appropriate caution. Refer to the safety
section for precautions.
UV-C light can kill micro-organisms when they are exposed to it for enough time. The rate at which micro-
organisms are killed depends on the wavelength of the light, the intensity of the light, and the exposure time.
Depending on the application, the Fogg Microb-Blaster®Air Sanitizer has been designed to kill in a range of 90%
to 99.99% of all potentially harmful organisms.
Light Box
The heart of the Fogg Microb-Blaster® Air Sanitizer is the UV-C lamp chamber (the light box). This stainless-
steel structure is made up of the external shell and internal reflectors/lamp holders.
Lamp Life
The lamps have a Fogg-rated life of 9000 hours of operation. 9000 hours is the point at which the actual output of
UV-C light may start to drop below 90% of the original, and the risk of inadequate dosage exceeds allowable
tolerances.
Air Infeed
The Fogg Microb-Blaster®Air Sanitizer uses forced-air for both cooling the UV-C lamps and for feeding air into the
UV-C box.
Air Filtration
The air filter is located at the bottom of the machine, below the air intake fan. The filter prevents particles from
entering and contaminating the Microb-Blaster®Air Sanitizer system enclosure. Be sure to inspect the filter every
month, as noted in the PM section.
Changing the Air Filter
The Microb-Blaster®Air Sanitizer air filter simply slides in and out to make inspection and changing easier.
Power Supply
On the backside of the machine is an on/off switch, power cable, and power supply fuse. CAUTION: Do not
tamper with the three prongs or remove the grounding prong.

CLEANING
Cleaning Notes
The Fogg Microb-Blaster® Air Purifier is a precision machine that must be
cared for and cleaned on a regular basis. The interior of the light chamber
should be blown-out with clean, compressed shop air on a weekly basis to
remove any accumulated dust and debris that could cause shadowing of the
UV-C lamps.
CAUTION: No Abrasive Pads! Do not use any abrasive pad or similar
Scotch-Brite® material on any parts of the machine. Unsightly scratching and
micro-scratching of the surfaces will result.
Plastic Cleaning
Use soft, white cloths and a specific plastic cleaner when cleaning the plastic.
Do NOT use paper towels. Micro-scratching and a damaged finish will result if
cleaners and materials other than those specified for plastic are used.
CAUTION: Do not use any type of caustic cleaner or solvent-type cleaner on
the polycarbonate doors of the machine, nor any type of Scotch-Brite®
material, or equivalent.
Stainless Steel Cleaning
Use soft, white cloths and a specific, high quality stainless-steel cleaner to
avoid scratching the mirror-like surface and to keep the unit looking clean.
Refer to "The Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel" document for further
information.
Lamp Cleaning
Lamp Reflectors
The stainless-steel lamp reflectors must be kept clean to maintain their bright, polished surfaces to ensure proper
air sanitation.
Lamp Lamps
The lamps can be wiped down with a cloth soaked with tap water (use no chemicals), and then wiped dry.
Machine Enclosure
CAUTION: Do not spray the device with water or cleaner as these are not sealed units.
