  • This equipment is designed for use with germicidal UV radiation sources and must be installed in compliance with competent technical directions to prevent risk of personal injury from UV radiation.*
  • UV radiation can pose a risk of personal injury. Overexposure can result in damage to eyes and bare skin. To reduce the risk of overexposure this equipment must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s site planning recommendations. This may include instructions on the relative location of each germicidal system component, the minimum distances between UV-generating devices and other objects or surfaces, and protection from line-of-sight exposure to UV radiation in occupied spaces located above the equipment mounting area (e. g. upper floor balconies, open staircases, etc.).*
  • UV and optical radiation can be reflected by surrounding surfaces such as ceilings and walls. Since the reflective properties of surfaces can vary widely, it should be considered as part of site planning. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for selecting appropriate ceiling and wall finishes.*
  • IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT PERSONS WILL NOT BE EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE UV OR OPTICAL RADIATION DURING EQUIPMENT OPERATION. THIS WILL REQUIRE THE INSTALLER TO CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT OF IRRADIANCE OR ILLUMINANCE LEVELS IN THE SURROUNDING OCCUPIED SPACES PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY.*
  • Maintenance and servicing of this UV-generating equipment shall be performed by authorized personnel. Service personnel must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) if the equipment will be in operation during the maintenance or servicing work. Contact the equipment manufacturer for PPE recommendations and guidance.*
  • Take precautions to ensure that the concentration of ozone in the installation is limited to a value that is within applicable permissible exposure limits. Verify acceptable ozone concentrations in the installation taking into account the number of products in a given volume of space, the characteristics of the ventilation system, access, and other factors. Permissible exposure limits vary based on the place of ozone application, the length of exposure, and other factors and are publicly available. For reference, the EPA National Ambient Air Quality Standard is 0.070 ppm maximum concentration averaged over 8 hours and current OSHA regulations set an eight-hour time-weighted average permissible exposure limit of 0.10 ppm. The amount of ozone emitted by this equipment does not exceed a concentration of 0.001 ppm over an 8-hour period, as tested in accordance with UL 867.*

EVO6 CARE222 Downlight DESCRIPTION OF NORMAL OPERATION

THIS PAGE ONLY APPLIES TO UV222 & UV222H CONFIGURATIONS

• When line voltage is applied to the luminaire, the Status Indicator LED should appear as a green solid light. The UV lamp module will remain inactive for between 11 and 12 minutes. Complete any mechanical adjustments to the luminaire before applying line voltage, or else ensure that any work on or near the luminaire that would require any part of the installer to be more than 7 ft. off the floor is complete within the first 11 minutes after line voltage is applied to prevent the installer from receiving a UV dose that is larger than the recommended amount.
• The UV lamp module will operate on 12-minute cycles, activating for a duration between 10 and 50 seconds each cycle. The duration will depend on the Programming Option value in each luminaire’s order nomenclature (e.g. EVO6…D108). Refer to the product Spec Sheet for guidance in selecting the correct Programming Option value for each application.
• When activated, the UV module will illuminate with a soft violet glow (see image below). The Status Indicator LED will remain green whether the UV module is active or inactive if all self-diagnostics report proper function.
• The Status Indicator LED may reflect additional states throughout the lifetime of the luminaire. The possible states are as follows:
• The UV lamp modules are rated for approximately 5 years of life (3000 activated hours). The Status Indicator LED will change to yellow solid when six months of projected life are left in the lamp module. Contact Acuity Brands Lighting for service.
