3.3 UV-C radiation
Icon Description
Before maintenance work can be carried out on the unit, make sure that
the system's power supply has been disconnected and that the system's
water pressure has been removed.
Ultraviolet C radiation is harmful for your eyes and skin. Avoid direct and
indirect exposure to UV-C radiation!
After deactivation, the UV-C system and lamps will remain hot for a
considerable time. Let the system cool down for at least 10 minutes.
The stainless steel housing and the VitaLite-E and C's electronics must
always be grounded (earthed).
Wear suitable safety goggles or hood if you are working with an
operating UV-C lamp to prevent damage to your retinas and skin.
Never touch the quartz tubes or the UV-C lamps with your bare hands to
avoid fingerprints. The UV-C light will cause fingerprints to burn into the
glass, reducing the system's efficiency. Always use clean cotton or latex
gloves when handling the quartz tubes or UV-C lamps.
The UV-C lamps contain substances harmful to the environment. Dispose
of a broken UV-C lamp in accordance with local regulations (chemical
waste).
