 CAUTION:  Installing or maintaining heavy equipment, 

especially overhead, can cause back pain or other injuries. 

6.  When installing or servicing an overhead UV unit or system, 

be careful not to fall off the stepladder. Furthermore, make 

sure the UV unit or system latches are always in place to 

prevent falling parts.

 

 CAUTION: Some parts of some UV units and systems 

may open suddenly if the UV unit or system is installed 

high up without its locks.

7.  Units that are obviously damaged must not be operated.

8.

observe precautions on the literature, tags and labels 

attached to the UV unit or system, and all other safety 

precautions considered as best practices in the HVAC

restrictive  installation  and/or  certification  requirements. 

The aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this 

document and the installer agree to conform to these at his 

own expense.

10.  Follow all the safety instructions outlined in this document 

and respect all local and national codes applicable.

11.  All UV units or systems contain a UV-C source. Damage to

touch lamp glass without gloves.

15.  Just like conventional fluorescent lamps, UV lamps contain 

a small quantity of mercury: if a lamp breaks, clean and 

dispose of with care. UV lamps can be disposed/recycled 

after use in the same way as any other fluorescent lamps. 

Contact and follow the specific instructions of your local 

and national authorities.

16. 

Use  only  specified  SANUVOX  branded  replacement 

UV lamps for your UV unit or system. Use of any other 

lamps will void your warranty and can result in damage to 

the UV unit or system.

17.  Sanuvox UV units or systems are not waterproof. DO NOT 

INSTALL OUTDOORS OR IN WET LOCATION unless 

specified otherwise.

18.  The use of a UV unit or system is a supplement to and 

not a substitute for standard infection control practices;

practices, including those related to the cleaning and 

disinfection of environmental surfaces.
