Safety Information

UV-Radiation

Emissions of ultraviolet radiation (200-315 nm) from this product is limited such that
radiant exposure incident upon the unprotected skin or eye of operator or service
personnel is limited to the following TLVs (Threshold Limit Values) according to the
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists:
Table 64
Exposure/day
8 hours
10 minutes
Typically the radiation values are much smaller than these limits:
