• Read these instructions prior to operating the unit.
• Keep and follow all instructions.
• Heed all warnings. Failure to use the equipment in the manner specied may impair the unit from providing the
desired protection.
• Plug unit into a grounded outlet. Ensure proper conditions for operation. The unit is designed to operate under
normal conditions indoors (temperature 5-40 degrees Celsius, RH less than 80% (non-condensing), at an altitude
<2000m and main supply uctuations +/- 10% of nominal voltage, overvoltage Category II.
• Allow unit to complete entire cycle prior to unplugging or shutting o power. This allows it to enter safe mode.
• Do not allow the unit to get wet or be used in or near water.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Use in accordance with these instructions.
• Do not attempt to open or tamper with the unit.
• Do not place or store the unit near any ammable materials or liquids.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not
t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the unit.
• Unplug this unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the unit has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit, the unit
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
• The UV engine is only designed to be used within the enclosure with the lid closed. There are redundant safety
systems to ensure the unit does not activate while the enclosure is open as the UV light is not recommended for
excessive exposure nor should anyone look directly at the unit while in operation due to the brightness of the light. If
the sensor in the system fails, the system will shut down.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A TOY. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

GENERAL OPERATION

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not have any mandated
exposure limits to ultraviolet light. OSHA only provides technical guidance regarding
protecting employees from ultraviolet laser exposure. While general information about
ultraviolet contained in that guidance is described below, it is important to note that Violet
Defense Technology does not currently deploy ultraviolet lasers. For more information on
OSHA’s guidelines, visit https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_
table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=24755.
Ultraviolet radiation is divided into three regions: UV-A: 315-400 nanometers (nm), UV-B:
280-315 nm, and UV-C: 100-280 nm. UV can be associated with adverse health eects due
to prolonged exposure and the wavelength of light.
According to OSHA’s guidelines, “exposure in the shorter UV-C and longer UV-A ranges
seems less harmful to human skin. The shorter wavelengths are absorbed in the outer dead
layers of the epidermis and the longer wavelengths have an initial pigment-darkening eect
followed by erythema if there is exposure to excessive levels.”
“The hazards associated with skin exposure are of less importance than eye hazards.”
Exposure to light may cause photokeratitis or cataracts.
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends limits to
exposure determined by the wavelength of UV light and intensity. NIOSH recommends that
the time of exposure to an intensity of 100 microwatts per square centimeter at wavelength
254 nm not exceed 1 minute. Per the programming, UV exposure from this unit for a
30-minute cycle is less than two seconds. For more information, view the recommended
standards from NIOSH (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/73-11009/pdf/73-11009A.pdf).
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the governmental agency responsible for
regulating ultraviolet light products. It regulates chemical disinfectants along with devices,
such as equipment that generates UV light, used to control pests like bacteria and making
antimicrobial claims. Violet Defense is an EPA-registered company (Facility No. 92142) and
is in full compliance with all regulations. For more information about EPA guidelines, visit
https://www.epa.gov/safepestcontrol/pesticide-devices-guide-consumers.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only regulates devices that are classied as medical
instruments, machines, and devices used to treat diagnosed medical conditions. Therefore,
Violet Defense does not fall under FDA guidelines.
