Functions
Direct radiation lamps are used where it is possible to ensure that people are not present during
disinfection. Disinfection with these lamps is most effective because they sterilise micro-organisms on the
surface of objects as well as in the air and liquids. This product is used for direct and indirect disinfection of
premises.
Direct disinfection refers to gases, liquids and objects that are exposed to direct effective ultraviolet C
radiation. These gases, liquids or objects must be directly exposed to UVC radiation. Effective radiation
means the intensity of UVC radiation sufficient to inactivate viruses, moulds, bacteria or fungi.
Indirect disinfection is carried out with O3gas (ozone), which is produced by UVC radiation. This gas
reaches all parts of the room (even behind obstacles) and disinfects.
Service
Plug the device into a power outlet. The device has a 15/30/60min timer option. Select the length of the
interval according to the level of disinfection required. Use the button on the lamp to select the desired
time interval. Red light 15 min, green light 30 min, white light 60 min. Once the desired interval length has
been selected, the countdown starts and is signalled by a beeping sound. This countdown lasts approx. 15 -
20 sec. During this time, the electrodes of the tube are heated and then the lamp is switched on. The lamp
will be switched off after the specified time interval or can be switched off at any time by pressing the
button on the lamp.
Remote control - press the red power button on the remote control. Then press the button of the
appropriate time interval length (15min, 30min, 60min). This will cause the tube to glow, approx. 15 - 20
sec, after which the lamp will be switched on. The lamp will be switched off after the specified time
interval or can be switched off at any time by pressing the red power button on the remote control.
Recommended time for disinfection: room about 20m2- 15min; room about 30m2- 30min; room about
40m2- 60min.
Safety instructions
Once the lamp is switched on, neither people nor animals should be in the disinfected environment. UVC
radiation is harmful even in small doses and may have some negative effect on humans, animals or plants.
The intensity and duration of exposure are decisive. Do not look directly into a lit UVC lamp. Even a small
dose of UVC radiation can cause conjunctivitis or so-called welding disease (ophthalmia photoelectrica) if
the eye is exposed for a long time. At higher doses, UVC radiation can severely damage eyesight. Children's
skin and eyes are particularly sensitive to the effects of UVC radiation. Children must not be exposed to
direct radiation at all. Only reflected radiation from distant walls or ceilings is permissible for the shortest
possible time. The room should be cleaned of dirt before disinfection begins. The room should be dry and
the temperature between 20° and 40°C. UVC radiation can damage various paintings, pictures and
decorations.

Ozone has a specific intense smell. In the context of safety, it is important to remember that ozone is a
hazardous gas, with respiratory irritation already occurring at lower concentrations. The human nose is
very sensitive to the presence of ozone in the air and is able to detect even very low concentrations. For
this reason, disinfection should only be carried out without the presence of people and animals. At a
temperature of 20 °C and a pressure of 1013.25 hPa, the half-life of ozone is 45 minutes. At 30 °C and the
same pressure, the half-life is only 20 minutes. Taking these facts into account, then choose the time after
which the disinfected premises will return to normal activity. The ideal recommended time to return after
intensive disinfection is about 2 hours.
Location
In the case of direct UVC disinfection, place the lamp as close to the object to be disinfected as possible
(preferably within 1 m) or ideally in the centre of the area to be disinfected, so that disinfection is even.
In the case of indirect ozone disinfection, place the lamp in the room so that the ozone 03gas generated
can spread freely to all parts of the room.
Usable properties of ozone
Ozone is more than 3000 times faster than chlorine, 25 times more effective than perchloric acid (NOCL),
2500 times more effective than hypochlorite (OCL) and 5000 times more effective than chloramine
(NH2CL) in sterilization and disinfection and is safer. There is no virus or bacteria resistant to ozone. It is a
more effective method than using chlorine. Ozone removes microorganisms that are normally resistant to
chlorine or need hours of contact time before they are removed by chlorine.
Ozone oxidizes and decomposes organic and inorganic substances faster than other reagents. Ozone
breaks down organic and inorganic toxic substances in water into less harmful components that can be
easily removed or transformed by sedimentation or filtration, etc. Ozone reacts with substances with
which chlorine does not react or reacts inappropriately.
By oxidation, ozone destroys high molecular weight compounds, chlorinated biphenyls, organic
compounds, toxic aromatic substances, cyanides, phenols, sulphur, iron, manganese. It has the ability to
deactivate carcinogens. The strong deodorizing effect causes upsetting of odorous substances and thus
reduction of odour and taste.
Usable properties of UVC radiation
UV radiation of 185 nm has bactericidal effects. It damages DNA and acts on all types of bacteria, only the
time required to kill the bacteria varies. The DNA damage prevents further reproduction. This prevents the
damaged micro-organisms from replicating and multiplying.
