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 achieving disinfection of
99.99% in very short exposure times.
The box is equipped with three UV-C 40 W lamps, 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
Irradiation time can be adjusted from 1 second to 500 hours.
APPLICATIONS AND RESULTS
This cabinet can be used for germicidal disinfection and maintenance and 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 after washing.
UV-BOX-E3/40H-NX-R is among the few items on the market to offer extreme effectiveness, as it possesses three
opposing lamps of high power (40W), which can radiate uniformly in all directions and 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 on 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,
immediately shuts off the lamps, in order to ensure 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, the lamps will automatically switch off. At the end of
the pause period, the lamps will automatically switch on. This sequence allows for the ability 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 always achieves the same response; also, there are no problems
with overdose and rooms are always safe and practicable (when devices are turned off).
Rather, many methods of chemical treatment involve the use of dangerous products for the environment, and
are difficult to biodegrade, as well as the risk of contamination of foodstuffs. Also, the use of chemicals 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 sterile equipment, without the slightest contraindication. Equipment
to be disinfected, or previously sterilized, can be preserved for a long time and are ready for use, since the
treatment is dry and without heat generation.
E. TOTAL SAFETY.
Ultraviolet rays are confined inside the enclosure and cannot exit due to the UV ray’s resistant polycarbonate
(LEXAN ®) and the micro-switches that prevent UV irradiation when the door is open. Therefore, it may treat the
instruments in the presence of the operators.

blades or cutters to open the box.
Remove the unit from the box, then inspect it immediately to ensure that no damage has occurred during transport.
Before installation and using the device please CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW THE SECURITY WARNINGS and
all others instructions.
INSTALLATION
The UV-BOX-E3/40H-NX-R is a wall cabinet and it is fundamental to install it in a secure location accessible to the
operator.
Take care not to place the cabinet in hazardous locations for the personnel.
To fix the cabinet to the wall, use two screw anchors (8 -10mm) (not supplied), placed at a mutual distance equal to
the distance of the two welded eyelets, behind and at the top on the cabinet.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Make sure that the device will be installed where it will fit with the existing environmental conditions. Before connecting
the device to the electrical line, make sure that the labelled data on the device are the same as the ones of the electrical
line; we remind you that the electrical supply power of this device is 220-240V, 50/60Hz.
Make sure that the electrical system is suitable to provide the supply current required by the device (please read the
label).
The connection to the electrical line needs a multipolar switch.
The connection to the electrical line must be made by the supplied cable 3 x 1 mm2.
The use of screws, nuts, or other means, is not required to connect the device to the electrical line.
We suggest the use of counters to know exactly the life of UV lamps and to remember when replace them. Protect
the power supply cable from high temperature, sharp corners, water, oils.

USAGE / PROGRAMMING
ON / OFF SWITCH
This is the cabinets main power switch (green led light power on indicator)
TIMER SWITCH
ON/OFF (OMRON model)
The stopwatch and type Pause/Work; two types of time must be set:
a) The DURATION OF DISINFETION
b) The DURATION OF THE PAUSE between one disinfection and the next.
Proceed with the following steps:
1) First set the desired scale bottom by acting on the cross screws placed
on the stopwatch panel:
• For the bottom scale relative the duration of disinfection you have to act on the screw above "OFF.
We recommend the bottom "min" scale.
• For the bottom scale for the duration of the pause between one disinfection and the next you have to
act on the screw above the inscription "ON". We recommend the bottom scale "hrs." (hours).
• Finally set the bottom scale of the central black quadrant by acting on the screw at the bottom on the
left above the word "OMRON". We recommend the bottom scale "12"
2) At this point you set the time you want by acting on the two overlapping central dials
two arrows, as follows:
• To set the duration of the disinfection you must act on the dial with the indicator Green. We
recommend that you set it to at least 4 (4 minutes).
• To set the duration of the break between one disinfection and the next, the red indicator must be
acted on the dial.
We recommend that you set it to 6 (6 hours).
You can set from a minimum of 1 sec. 120 hours.
Start:
Turn on the box using the ON/OFF switch:
The UV lamps will light up for the chosen time (if the door is closed) and the chronometer will turn on the LED GREEN
for the duration of the disinfection phase. Then you will turn on the RED LED that will signal the pause phase
(UV lamps off). So cyclically the two phases will alternate.

MAINTENANCE - UV LAMP
NOTE: Lamp maintenance is very important because the UV-C
light emitted by the source is not visible to the naked eye. The
eye will detect a bluish glow indicating that the tube itself is on,
however without proper maintenance the Germicidal effect may
not be sufficient to perform the sterilisation treatment.
• Before reaching the lamp ALWAYS switch off power supply.
• If the UV-C lamp is dirty or dusty clean with a clean soft cloth
and alcohol, avoid touching the glass part with bare hands
(always wear gloves)
• The lamp once it has reached its number of burn hours
MUST be replaced. Refer to Table 1 for correct product code
Change the lamp by following the procedure below:
• 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 above step in reverse to insert the new lamp
TROUBLESHOOTING
UV LAMP
See MAINTENANCE
POWER SUPPLY
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:
• 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.
• 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.
• Unstick the circuit board levering by a screwdriver.
• 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.
• Mount the cover again, repeating in reverse.
