Ultraviolet (UV) Light Maintenance

Hazardous Voltage and Exposure to Ultraviolet Radiation!
If UV lights are present in this unit, it contains components that emit high-intensity ultraviolet
(UV-C) radiation which can be harmful to unprotected eyes and skin. Disconnect all electrical
power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures
to ensure the equipment cannot be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before
servicing could result in death or serious injury.
The intensity of the ultraviolet energy emitted from the ultraviolet bulbs is dependent on the
cleanliness and age of the bulb. The surface of the bulb should be kept as clean as possible for
optimum intensity. Depending on the filtration level of the HVAC system and the general hygiene
of the building, periodic cleaning may be necessary. Before attempting any maintenance
procedures, always follow all warnings and cautions as detailed in this maintenance section.
