Page 3: Safety
SAFETY The meanings of WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES are: WARNING A WARNING indicates when failure to follow the instructions could result in injury to personnel. CAUTION A CAUTION indicates when failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to equipment. - Page 4 At high concentrations, it can cause discomfort, or at sufficiently high levels, be dangerous. The PC-3 series of lamps produce minimal amounts of ozone during start-up and no ozone during operation. The radiation beneath the wavelength of about 240 nm, given off by the arc, is absorbed by the outer, colder gas layers and therefore, produce no ozone during operation.
