WARNING
Wear protective eyewear.
Failure to may result in severe burns or longterm injury to the eyes.
DANGER
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing or removing any protec-
tive covers.
Do not operate this device near water or while you are wet.
DANGER
Some medications may increase your sensitivity to ultraviolet light. It
is recommended that you consult a physician before using this
sunbed if taking any medication or if you suspect that your skin might
be especially sensitive to sunlight.
CAUTION
Use of a voltage source above 230V AC may prevent proper operation
of the sunbed and could cause damage and void the warranty.
Air from the room is used to cool the sunbed. Maximum ambient room
temperature should be 80°F. Place your sunbed no closer than 6” from
any wall. Make sure nothing obstructs the airflow into the sunbed’s
endcaps or out of the fan openings. A poorly ventilated room may
cause the unit to become hot and cause discomfort to the user.
Electrical Requirements
Your sunbed operates from a 220V AC source. The 24 X-Power requires
a NEMA 6-20R electrical outlet (below) on a dedicated circuit capable
of providing 20 Amp service, installed in the room in which you will
use the unit. We recommend installation by a professional electrician.
The outlet must be earth grounded.
20 AMP NEMA #6-20R

Ultraviolet radiation. Follow instructions. Avoid overexposure. As with
natural sunlight, overexposure can cause eye and skin injury and
allergic reactions. Repeated exposure may cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer.
WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR
LONGTERM INJURY TO THE EYES. Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity
to the ultraviolet radiation. Consult physician before using sunlamp if you are using medications
or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially sensitive to sunlight. If you do
not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from the use of this product. Children, the elderly, or
fair skinned people who always burn easily and either never tan or tan minimally should not use
this equipment.
To use, lie down on bench and pull canopy down as far as adjustment will allow. Do not use
without clear plastic panels in place. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days dur-
ing their first week of tanning. Never tan more than once a day. Tanning normally appears after
the first few sessions and maximizes after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week
thereafter to maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin at advanced
levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.
Skin Type:
ISensitive Skin (Burns easily and severely and does not tan.)
II Light Skin (Burns easily and severely and tans minimally.)
III Normal Skin (Burns moderately and tans average.)
IV Dark Skin (Burns minimally, tans easily and above average.)
New lamps emit approximately 10% more ultraviolet radiation during the first 50 hours of
operation. Recommended tanning times should therefore be reduced by approximately 10%
during that period.
WARNING:• Read these instructions before using this sunlamp product. • All persons in the
room should wear protective eyewear when lamps are on. Recommended eyewear: provided
eyeshields or equivalent eyewear as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Other types of eyewear
may not provide adequate protection. Failure to use protective eyewear may result in severe

T-Max® 1A and 3A Remote Systems
In single sunbed installations, the T-Max® 1A and 3A can offer the
same control as the T-Max® Manager, eliminating the need for a
Manager. If you’re using a 1A in this manner, it must have a chip
labelled “master” installed on its circuit board. The remote control
bypass plug must not be used in this configuration. The 3A may be
used as a “master” with no modification.
After you have set the T-Max® 1A’s, or 3A’s, address to “0” (refer to
your T-Max® user’s guide) and the sunbed’s address to “1” (see right),
simply connect the RJ-22 modular
cables, described in the T-Max® user’s
guide, directly into either port located
on the back of the sunbed and either
port on the back of the T-Max® 1A or
3A. See figure 2.
Setting the address manually
Before connecting your sunbed to the T-Max® Manager or T-Max® 1A
or 3A, the address of your sunbed must first be set. Set the address man-
ually as described below.
Setting the Address
1. Make sure the sunbed display is showing “0”.
2. Press the red stop button and, without releasing it, press the
green timer button and hold both for three seconds. The display
should indicate an address number from “1” to “255”.
3. If you are using a T-Max® 1A or 3A as a “master” remote, the
address of the sunbed must be set to “1”. If you are using a T-
Max® Manager each sunbed must be assigned a different
address. To adjust the address, press the green timer button to
count up until the desired number (from 1 to 128) is achieved.
Addresses 252 to 255 are not normally used.
4. Press the red stop button to return to the normal display mode.
NOTE: A T-Max® 1A with a
“master” chip can be substituted
for a 3A in figure 2.

Remote systems using a Control Relay
Most non-T-Max® remote systems control the sunbed by the use of a
relay. The relay operates the sunbed by connecting and disconnect-
ing a pair of wires leading from the sunbed. Refer to the user’s man-
ual provided with your remote system to determine if it operates in this
way. To connect your sunbed to this type of system a remote interface
kit is required. Contact your place of purchase to obtain the kit. Figure
3details a typical connection. Follow the instructions provided with
the kit and from the remote’s manual to make the necessary connec-
tions.
Remote Connections
Your sunbed incorporates advanced circuitry allowing it to connect
and communicate with most remote control systems. If a remote sys-
tem is to be used, first determine whether the remote system is a T-
Max® System or a standard remote system operating with a control
relay. Follow the appropriate instructions for your system type.
T-Max® Products
The T-Max® remote systems offer the ultimate in sunbed control, while
allowing the tanner easy straightforward operation. Your sunbed is con-
figured to directly connect to this system. The circuitry inside your
sunbed eliminates the need for the T-Max® 1A or 3A when connecting
to the T-Max® Manager series. Your sunbed supports the auto address-
ing feature of the latest T-Max® Manager models and the following
parameters: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 15. See your T-Max® manual for descrip-
tions of these parameters and how they function.
T-Max® Manager Remote System
This system is ideal for multiple sunbed installations. Simply connect
the RJ-22 modular cable(s), described in the T-Max® Manager manu-
al, into the remote port(s) located on the back of your sunbed and fol-
low the instructions that came with your remote system, noting figure
1. If you have an older T-Max® Manager that doesn’t support auto
addressing, set the address of each sunbed manually as described in
Setting the address manually. You can place your sunbed at any loca-
tion in the series.
The remote connection is not designed to supply or accept high
voltage, nor can it provide power to an external timer. The
sunbed’s remote interface circuitry operates on 5 volts, attempting
to connect it to any higher voltages will damage the sunbed as
well as void your warranty.

Using Your Sunbed
Before using your sunbed, please note the following important pre-
cautions.
• Your skin should be free of cosmetics, tanning oils, or other body
lotions prior to tanning except for those specifically made for use
with tanning devices. However, do not remove natural body oils by
bathing or showering immediately before tanning.
• Your hair should be free of gels, mousses, sprays, or other hair prod-
ucts prior to tanning. These products can cause damage to the
sunbed acrylic. As an alternative, a shower cap or towel can be
worn to keep treated hair away from the sunbed surfaces.
• Your sunbed is designed for individual use. Always wear the safety
goggles supplied with your sunbed or another approved pair of gog-
gles, as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Regular sunglasses do not
provide adequate protection from ultraviolet light.
Exposure Times
Follow the guidelines for skin type and exposure times as shown in the
table on reverse. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days
during their first week of tanning. Never tan more than once a day.
Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes
after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter
to maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin
at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.
Operation
(When connected to the T-Max® Manager or T-Max® 1A or 3A.)
1If the remote system has been set to allow a pre-tanning delay time,
the timer display (A) will repeatedly flash the delay symbol “dL” and
then the remaining delay time. Press the timer button (B) or wait
until the delay time has expired to begin the tanning session. The
lamps will turn on and the timer will begin to count down. If a tan-
ning time less than the displayed time is desired repeatedly press
the timer button (B) to decrease the remaining time.
2Lift the canopy, lie down on the bench (face up) and lower the
canopy as close to your body as possible.
3When the timer reaches “0” the lamps turn off. If you want to stop
your session before time expires, press the stop button (C).
4Raise the canopy by using the outer edge of the canopy, do not
push up on the acrylic shield as it may crack. The cooling fans run
for three minutes after the lamps shut off to aid in cooling the
sunbed. The timer will indicate “..” as a reminder to clean the
sunbed. After the sunbed is cleaned press the timer button and the
display will return to “0”.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning After Use
Clean and disinfect your tanning bed’s bench and canopy after each
use. Use a non-abrasive disinfectant cleaner that does not contain
ammonia or ammonia derivatives. Ammonia may damage the acrylic
shield. Spray the acrylic lightly with disinfectant and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
Thorough Periodic Cleaning
The cooling fans draw air through the bed and will cause a dust
buildup on the lamps and reflectors. When a dust buildup is observed,
it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the bench and canopy.
1Remove the acrylic shields and lamps.
2With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each lamp.
3Clean both sides of the acrylic shields with a non-ammonia dis-
infectant cleaner.
4Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth.
5Re-install the lamps and acrylic shields.
Mechanical Inspection
Inspect the unit’s mechanical integrity every 400-500 hours of use.
• Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying that all are firmly in place.
Pay particular attention to the hinge bolts.
• Inspect gas springs for signs of wear. Replace gas springs that will
not hold the canopy in the full open position when raised.
• Inspect the AC power cord and its connections.
• Inspect the acrylic. Replace if broken, cracked or badly scratched.
Hour Counter
This sunbed incorporates an ingenious hour counter function into the
timing circuitry. It allows the operator of the unit to monitor the hours
of use of the lamps, making it easy to determine when to change them.
You may also decide to use this function to monitor other time based
maintenance tasks.
To determine how many hours the unit has been in service (since the
last reset of the hour counter memory), first make sure the timer dis-
play shows “0”. Then simply hold the stop button for three seconds.
The display will show two pairs of numbers which indicate the num-
ber of hours of service, then return to “0”. (example: Display shows 08
then 54. This equals 854 hours.) NOTE: If the unit is connected to a T-
Max® remote device, it may briefly lose communication with the
remote. This is normal.
To erase the indicated hours disconnect power from the sunbed. Press
and hold the green timer button as you reconnect power. Release the
button after a few seconds.
Removing/Replacing Lamps
1. Grasp a lamp at one end and at the middle, then turn the lamp a
quarter turn. The lamp may then be gently removed from its holder.
2. To reinstall lamp, insert pins on the ends of the lamp into the slots
on top of the lamp holder and turn the lamp a quarter turn.
Page 6 - 26713-01A
Replacing Lamps
To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps after
approximately 800-1000 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this
time but at a slower rate. To ensure trouble-free operation of your
sunbed, replace the lamp starters whenever the lamps are replaced.
We recommend using the lamps specified in the Safety Information.
Use of uncertified lamps is a violation of Federal regulations and will
void your warranty.
Removing/Replacing Acrylic Shields
The acrylic shields are secured in place by hinged profiles which run
the length of the bed, both front and back. Simply pry up on the inside
edge of the profile until it releases its latching action (see figure
below). Continue to pry up the profile across its entire length until it
swings back freely. Repeat for the other profile. The long edges of the
acrylic shield are now exposed. Standing in front of the sunbed, grasp
the long exposed edge of the acrylic and carefully slide it toward you
until it is removed.
After changing the lamps, replace
the acrylic shields by reversing
the above directions. Close
the hinged profile by push-
ing it back into place until it
snaps tight.
PROFILE
CAUTION
Be careful. The edges of the
acrylic shield may be sharp.
Start pulling from the
middle of the profile!
