DEVICE DESCRIPTION

UV-BOX-E3/40H-NX-R has a stainless steel AISI 304 structure with 2 stainless steel AISI 304 flat grills to support the

objects to be disinfected. The grids support the stored items minimizing dead spots and getting disinfection of 99.99%

in very short exposure times.

The box is equipped with three lamps UV-C 40 W, protected by the grid to prevent hits and damages. The steel door is

equipped with a transparent anti UV polycarbonate window and a position switch for turning off the UV lamps when the

door is opened.

The box is also equipped with a control panel which has an on/off switch and a timer

The irradiation time can be adjusted from 1 second to 500 hours.

APPLICATIONS AND RESULTS

This cabinet can be used for germicidal disinfection and maintenance of sterility of objects and tools for healthcare,

pharmaceutical labs, microbiological labs, food industries, etc.

After washing, the objects can be stored inside the germicidal box, in order to maintain the condition of cleanliness in

time; objects can thus be used with confidence, even after several hours far from washing.

UV-BOX-E3/40H-NX-R is among the few items on the market to offer an action extremely effective, because it pos-

sesses two opposite lamps of high power (40W), which can radiate uniformly to all directions, directly on instruments

surface. Furthermore, the internal reflection increases the amount of UV radiation which invests the instrumentation

from all directions, reducing to zero the micro-shadows and lowering significantly the exposure times

Very short exposure times are thus obtained to get a 99.9% sterilization

OPERATION

The switching on / off of the box is controlled by a programmable cycle of pause / working time intervals.

You can decide for the duration of the irradiation and of the pause interval between two subsequent working periods.

Whenever the door is closed, UV lamps turn on and begin the disinfection of the inside space and surfaces. This will

last for the whole programmed working time; the possible opening of the door, during the disinfection action, immedi-

ately shuts off the lamps, in order to ensure the personnel safety; if you will close the door again, a new disinfection

action will begin from the start. At the end of the working period, automatically lamps will switch off. At the end of the

pause period, automatically lamps will switch on. This sequence allows to maintain aseptic conditions even at distance

in time.

The duration of the working time and of the pause time is manually adjustable before the beginning of the treatment.

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES

a) PHYSICAL ACTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. Treatment by UV-C rays is purely physical, and

achieves always the same effect; also, there are no problems of overdose and rooms are always safe and practicable

(when devices are off). Rather, many methods of chemical treatment involve the use of dangerous products for the en-

vironment, and difficult to biodegrade, as well as the risk of contamination of foodstuffs. Also, by the use of chemicals it

is likely to develop resistant microbial forms with consequent danger to human health.

b) IMMEDIATE EFFECT. It takes just a very short time to obtain effective results (99% killing of the bacteria).

c) PRACTICABILITY AND SAVINGS. The treatment is immediate and ready for use. The maintenance is minimal with

low costs of both energy consumption and repairs.

d) NO CONTRAINDICATION FOR EQUIPMENT TO BE TREATED. This device provides the ability to maintain a ster-

ile equipment, without the slightest contraindication. Equipment to be disinfected, or previously sterilized, can be pre-

served for a long time and are ready at any time, since the treatment is dry and without heat generation.

e) TOTAL SAFETY. Ultraviolet rays are confined inside the enclosure and cannot exit for the presence of UV rays re-

sistant polycarbonate (LEXAN ®) and for the presence of micro-switches that prevent UV irradiation when the door is

open. Therefore, it may treat the instruments in the presence of the operators.

SCHEDULING

ON/OFF SWITCH

Cabinet main power switch (green led power-on indicator)

TIMER

You should set up two types of time on the timer:

a) DURATION OF STERILIZATION

b) DURATION OF PAUSE, between two successive sterilizations

Proceed with the following steps:

1) Set the full scale as desired, by turning the two Phillips screws placed in the lower left side of the clock. For the dura-

tion of sterilization, act on the full scale "RANGE OFF". We recommend the full scale "10 minutes". For the duration of

the pause, act on the full scale "RANGE ON". We recommend the full scale "hrs" (hours).

2) Set the desired time, by acting on the two superimposed central rings, in the following way:

To set the duration of sterilization, adjust the gray ring with the red marker. It is recommended to set at least 4 (4

minutes). To set the duration of the pause, between one sterilization and the next, you must act on the transparent ring

with the green indicator. We recommend that you set it to 6 (6 hours). It can be set from a minimum of 1 sec. to a max-

imum of 500 hours. For the choice of the duration of irradiation, see the table on the side, about the most common bac-

teria and viruses exposition times; exposition times for molds (fungi) equal the exposition times for bacteria/virus multi-

plied by 2 or 3. START: Power-on the cabinet by the switch ON / OFF UV lamps will light up (if

the door is closed) and on the timer the RED LED will remain lit for all the dura-

tion of the sterilization period. Then, the start of the pause period will be indicat-

ed by the of the switching-on of the GREEN LED (UV lamps off). So cyclically

the two phases alternate. The presence of the power lamps will be visible

through the window of the doors (opaque to UV rays). Every time you open and

close on the door the clock re-start from scratch. The device can be live 24

hours on 24 without any contraindication

MAINTENANCE

UV LAMP

Lamp maintenance is very important because UV-C light emit-

ted by the source is not visible to the eye, so, although you

see the lamp ON, its germicidal effect may not be sufficient to

performs disinfection treatment.

Before reaching the lamp, ALWAYS switch off power supply

If UV-C lamp gets dirty (or gets dusty) clean it with a clean cloth

and alcohol, and avoid touching the glass part with hands. To

check UVC lamp life number of hours, correct product code of the

spare UV lamp please refer to table 1. The lamp, once reached the

timing for replacement, must be replaced, this operation is carried

out as follows:

• Loosen the nuts on the lamp housing and let them slide

along the lamp; grab the lamp at the 2 ends and pull it in a

direction parallel to the lamp.

• Repeat the steps in reverse to insert the new lamp.

TROUBLESHOOTING

POWER SUPPLIER

This model is supplied with electronic ballast that provides an emission 15% higher than traditional reactors and also

the pipes are not affected by the ambient environment (operating down to -20 ° C). Finally, the ignition of the lamps is

immediate (without starter) and the duration is more prolonged.

To replace the ballast in the event of failure, ALWAYS remove power to the unit:

1) Unscrew the screws on the lid of the timer panel. Now the cover is removable and can be easily accessed inside.

Please, note that with this operation the door is set free and must be extracted.

2) Disconnect the wires on the right (4 or 7 wires) and the left (3 wires) placed on the power supply by pressing the

blade of a screwdriver on the slot corresponding to each input wire, to set it free. Pay attention to the succession of

links because each wire will have to occupy again the same position at the end.

3) Unstick the circuit board levering by a screwdriver.

4) Replace the ballast with a new one, like the original (for code see Table 1), and reconnect the wires paying much

attention to the succession of the links.

5) Mount the cover again, repeating in reverse.

TIMER

In case of failure, you must substitute the timer. So, remove power to the device:

1) Unscrew the screws on the lid of the timer panel. Now the cover is removable and can be easily accessed inside.

Please, note that with this operation the door is set free and must be extracted.

2) By a screwdriver, disconnect the wires screwed to the timer. Pay attention to the succession of links because each

wire will have to occupy again the same position at the end.

3) Uncouple the timer from the door.

4) Replace the timer with a new one, like the original (for code see Table 1), and reconnect the wires paying much at-

tention to the succession of the links.

5) Mount the cover again, repeating in reverse.
