INTRODUCTION
Health and wellbeing is a critical component to sustain an enjoyable life. It’s why the
quality of the air we breathe and cleanliness of the items we touch every day matters.
The germicidal properties featured in the BioShift Pass-Through UV-C Germicidal
Chamber oer a proven and eective way to inactivate harmful micro-organisms. The
BioShift chamber is designed and approved for industrial and commercial uses, and is
not to be used in residential or home settings.
The BioShift chamber is a sanitation tool made easy to use alongside additional cleaning
eorts. It helps meet a wide range of end-user needs by limiting cross contamination
through the import of pathogens on everyday items like cell phones, eye glasses, and
tools.
Veried to inactivate common pathogens by a nationally recognized testing laboratory
specializing in antimicrobial, biocidal and virucidal eectiveness, the BioShift chamber
uses UV-C radiation that has been extensively researched for more than 40 years.
Note: All bacteria and viruses tested to date respond to UV-C radiation, however it is mostit is most
eective on hard surface objects.eective on hard surface objects. It may not inactivate bacteria, viruses and pathogens, in
areas of objects that are not exposed to the proper intensity and duration of UV-C radiation.
Thus,the BioShiftPass-Through UV-CGermicidalChamber ismosteectively usedinaddition
and as a complement to disinfection products and procedures, and NOT as a replacement.

RISK OF UV
EXPOSURE CAUTION BIOHAZARD
SAFETY
Definition of Symbols
Warning
• It is possible that emissions from this product may interfere with some sensitive
appliances when placed nearby or in the same circuit as those appliances. The
user should be aware of this potential and take appropriate measures to avoid
interference.

PROGRAMMING
Cycle Time
The standard and recommended default disinfection cycle is 5 minutes. However,
the cycle time can be customized to better meet facility protocols. Note: The amount
of inactivation by UV-C radiation is proportional to the amount of exposure time.
TO SET CYCLE TIME:
• From the Home screen, choose the Settings button (see Settings Screen
Components).
• Choose the Set Cycle button. Note: The time is set by arrowing up or down,
programmed in MM:SS.
• Once desired lamp life cycle has been chosen, select the check mark to set.
PROGRAMMING ITEMS TO NOTE:
• Controller cannot be programmed if EMERGENCY STOP button(s) are pressed in.
Pressing EMERGENCY STOP button(s) disconnects all power, even to the controller.
• If disconnected from power, the BioShift chamber does not have to be reprogrammed.
Sleep Timer
In order to ensure the longest life, the BioShift chamber will automatically enter sleep
mode after 30 minutes of inactivity. This setting can be changed by following this path:
• From the Home screen, choose the Settings button (see Settings Screen
Components).
• Choose the Sleep Time option and set to desired time.
• Select the check mark to set.

MAINTENANCE
Alert Notifications / Errors
An alert symbol will appear in the upper left corner of the Maintenance button when
one of the following occurs:
• UV-C lamps have reached maximum cycle / hours.
• Replacement lamps have been installed and Lamp Life needs
to be reset.
Simply follow the red exclamation point to the source of the issue.
Note: Lamp life remaining will never go negative. Once it reaches zero, it will remain until
Lamp Life is reset.

12
MAINTENANCE
Note: Chamber must be de-energized and included safety glasses or other UV protective
eyewear should be used at all times when performing maintenance. The chamber must be
energized when performing UV-C Dose Verication.
Check Lamp Life
It is important to monitor Lamp Life and replace when necessary. Even though the
lamps have a long default life, they will lose their power over the course of time and
need to be changed. The remaining lamp life is always prominently displayed at the top
of the Maintenance menu (see Maintenance Screen Components).
Order Replacement Lamps and Ballasts
The information required for ordering new lamps include the lamp part number and
ONCE®contact information. This information can be found from the Maintenance screen
under Lamp Replacement Info.
30W UV-C Replacement Lamps 26-0054
110-240V Replacement Ballast 26-0052 / 929002100325
Changing Lamps and Ballasts
To replace lamps, de-energize the chamber, then simply twist the lamp and pull out
from its housing. Slide the new lamp in and twist to lock it in place. Do not use excessive
force. It is recommended that all lamps are replaced on 1000 cycle or 3000 hour intervals,
whichever comes rst, or after a failed UV-C Dose Verication. After lamps have been
replaced, press the “Reset Lamp” button in the Maintenance menu to reset the lamp life
counter.
Replace ballasts if replacement lamps fail to provide proper intensity, or if lamps fail to
ignite. Ballasts must be installed according to country, state, and local NEC to the same
standard as shipped from the manufacturer. After de-energizing the chamber, ballasts
are accessed via the removable side panel located inside the chamber and must be
securely xed to the bottom of the chamber.
Reset Lamp Life
• From the Home screen, choose the Maintenance button (see Maintenance Screen
Components).
• Choose the RESET LAMP button.
• Lamp Life will be reset to default, unless custom values have been entered in the
Lamp Life Settings menu.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
• Do not use industrial degreasers or strong solvents such as brake cleaners.
• Do not override safety features during maintenance / cleaning.
• When cleaning all reective aluminum surfaces, do not use abrasives, they will
reduce the reectivity.
• Outside: BioShift chamber can be cleaned with a damp towel. Strong solvents
or detergents are not recommended. A typical household cleaning solvent is
recommended.
• Inside: Clean inside chamber walls with ethanol (reagent grade) and a soft towel.
Be careful not to spray or apply chemicals directly on the UV-C lamps. This may
result in total lamp destruction.
• Inspect the aluminum panels, if they appear to be degrading and reducing
reectivity, consider replacing.
UV-C Dose Verification
It is important to regularly verify the UV-C dose output of the BioShift chamber to
ensure proper disinfection. Every 50 cycles or once per month, whichever comes rst,
the operator shall verify that the UV-C dose exceeds a minimum of 100 mJ/cm2in a
short, programmed test cycle. Before proceeding with the Dose Verication, ensure
the chamber has completed a full cycle within the last 5 minutes so that the lamps are
warmed up. With an empty chamber, place a card (below) face-up at the center of the
bottom tray. On the touchscreen display, select the “100 mJ/cm2Dose Test” button to
start a test cycle. Upon completion of the test cycle, the operator will evaluate the color
development of the center circle. If the center color matches the 100 mJ/cm2region, the
chamber has passed the test. If the color does not match 100 mJ/cm, all the lamps in
the chamber must be replaced. Note: Do not use dose verication as a disinfection cycle.
Replacement 100 mJ/cm2test cards (929002100327) are available from ONCE®
at www.once.lighting/uv-cdosimeter. Do not store cards in direct sunlight.
