Electronic Safety Features
and Error Conditions
NuvaWave
has multiple built-in safety features and the ability to test itself. If an error is detected, the
device automatically shuts down and signals the user. The safety and error detection features include:
•
Continuous self-testing while device is running. Self-testing includes checks for overheating,
non-functioning UVC emitters, total usage time, UVC performance life, battery performance,
distance spotlights checks, fan operation, computer and software checks, and proper
functionality of circuitry.
•
Low-battery indicator, which will engage if the battery is too low for use and needs to be re-
charged.
•
Drop detection, which automatically disables the device when it detects an impact.
•
Haptic feedback, which vibrates the device any time there is an error.
•
UVC Trigger, which enables the UVC emitter so long as the trigger is depressed.
•
UVC Trigger stuck detection, which disables the light if the UVC trigger is depressed when the
device is first powered.
•
UVC Timeout, which will shut off the UVC emitter if the trigger is depressed for more than 5
minutes continuously.
•
Glow Ring, which turns on whenever the UVC light source is active.
•
Distant Spotlights, which turn on whenever the UVC light source is active, illuminating the
corners of the target area and providing an estimate of surface distance.

Troubleshooting Guide
The LED Indicator Light located on the back of NuvaWave signals the user the state of the device. The
LED indicator light can be one of three colors, Green, Orange or Red. During power-up all three colors
will cycle through as the device is initializing. A solid green light is the normal operating state of the
device. Error conditions are signaled to the user by flashing the LED indicator light either orange or red
and vibrating the NuvaWave using haptic feedback. Haptic feedback will vibrate the device whenever
the user depresses the trigger while an error condition exists. There are two types of errors: user errors
(orange) and device errors (red). When the trigger is depressed for more than five continuous minutes,
the Indicator LED will flash orange, signaling a user error. A device error is signaled by a flashing red
Indicator LED. The flashing sequence is unique for the error conditions to aid color blind users. Refer to
the following Quick Troubleshooting Table for indicator meanings and required actions.
