Before continuing with unpacking and installation, please read the following Chapters of this Manual for safety recommendations and installation, running, and troubleshooting instructions. CAUTION! Always wear protective goggles or face shield when working near the front of the unit, which emits UV light! The rear of the unit also emits stray UV light. WARNING! Always observe safety requirements! CAUTION! - Page 6 UV exposure, high-temperature surfaces, ozone, and bright, visible light. UV EXPOSURE Standard DYMAX UV light-curing systems and bulbs have been designed to primarily emit UVA light (as shown in Chart 1). UVA light is generally considered the safest of the three UV ranges: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Although OSHA does not currently regulate ultraviolet light exposure in the workplace, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for ultraviolet light.

Both clear and tinted UV-blocking eye protection is available from DYMAX. • UV-Blocking Skin Protection – Where the potential exists for UV exposure upon skin, opaque, UV- blocking clothing, gloves, and full-face shields are recommended.

Ultraviolet (UV) - The invisible region of the spectrum just beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelength ranges in general from 1.0 to 400 nm. DYMAX bulbs (burners) do not radiate energy in deep ultraviolet; there are very minute amounts below 220 nm and practically nothing can be sensed below 200 nm. This is due to the use of ozone-blocking quartz Bulb Envelope (See Ozone). -
