Description
MAC500s produces UV-C light under controlled conditions. Different UV-C wavelength has different
properties. The MAC500s uses two wavelengths. One is a powerful sterilizer when it is in direct contact with
pathogens and the other wavelength uses the available oxygen (O2) to naturally produce a low level of
ozone (O3). The low level of ozone recreates the fresh air from outside in nature inside your home or office.
This method is called photolytic oxidation and JIMCO A/S has won EU environmental Award for
Developing a Cleaner Technology.
The purpose with the MAC500s is to purify the air you breathe.
•Read the user instructions carefully before using the unit.
•Keep the user instructions for future reference.
•Connect the instrument to a suitable plug socket.
•Place the machine on a solid surface. Profitable high for the best effect
•For wall mounting, you can attach the appliance by means of the punched mounting holes
•Never immerse the appliance in water
Intended use
The MAC500 is intended to be used 24 hours a day. The recommended room size is 60 m3 (24 m2 with a
ceiling height of 2,5 m). The unit should not be operated while situated on the floor but should be placed as
high as possible for maximum efficiency.
The unit must not be operated without cover.
When more units are placed in a room they must be placed as far from each other as possible to get an
even distribution of the area they cover.
Function
Photolytic oxidation makes a cold incineration with airborne pathogens and organic particles such as fungal
spores, virus, bacteria, yeast, ethylene gasses, nicotine etc. The process is environmentally friendly and the
cold incineration will reduce the airborne pathogens and organic particles significantly.
The MAC500s can be operated in temperatures between 4-45 degrees Celsius. The unit can be used in
refrigerators to reduce ethylen gasses, bacteria and fungal spores, which will extend the shelf life of food,
fruit and vegetables.
The MAC500s will effectively reduce odor from rooms deposited in walls, carpets, textiles, furnitures etc.
WARNING!!!
Before opening the appliance, it must be switched off, and unplugged from the socket.
When the device is open, there is a risk of radiation from the UV-C light
– This can lead to painful corneal inflammation (conjunctivitis)

Lifetime of the lamps
The lifetime of the JIMCO special lamp is 8,000 operating hours. When the lamp has been used for 8,000
operating hours, the efficiency of the lamp will be reduced, which means if the smell is not reduced as usual then
the lamp should be replaced.
8,000 operating hours, equals to approximately a year of operation (21.9 hours per day). If the effect of the device
drops before the end of 8,000 operating hours, you should check, if the JIMCO Special lamp is dirty with e.g. dust
particles.
Is this the case? Then follow the maintenance instructions.
Maintenance
To maintain the optimal performance of the MAC500, we recommend – for regular use – to clean the lamp and fan
