ALKCO U2C409-UNV-1-4-EB UVC Fixture Ceiling Mount

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This equipment is designed for use with 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 specifier or installers site planning recommendations. This may include instructions on the relative location of each 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, walls and duct work/pipes. Since the reflective properties of surfaces can vary widely, it should be considered as part of site planning. Follow the specifier or installers 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 IRRANDIANCE AND/OR ILLUMINANCE LEVELS IN THE SURROUNDING OCCUPIED SPACES PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY.

• Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to
  tampering by unauthorized personnel.

• 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.

• When replacing lamps, replace them only with the lamps for which the equipment is marked and intended.

• The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

• Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.

CAUTION: Electrical luminaires are designed for permanent installation in ordinary (non-hazardous) locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes. Do not use in areas of limited ventilation or in high ambient enclosures. The lamp and luminaire operate at high temperatures, contact with combustible materials can cause fire and personal contact can cause severe burns.

Warning:

• Materials that are exposed to UV-C and/or ozone for a long time may become damaged and/or discolored
• Products are not intended and shall not be used in applications or activities which may cause death, personal injury and/or damage to the environment
• Products not designed and/or intended for medical purposes; Signify excludes any and all liability for any such improper use.
• Products are not provided with safeguards and may only be installed and used in connection with the appropriate safeguards. Customer is responsible for procuring and installing said safeguards prior to using the Product.
• Products are designed and intended to be used in professional applications. Products are not meant for use in consumer or household applications.

This product uses 254nm UV-C lamps. Use only Philips TUV 9w PL lamps.

Highest irradiance at 500 mm: 1.22W/m²
This luminaire is to be suspended perfectly level in a 2×2 grid ceiling space. Do not use with ceilings that are not flat and level such as concave, vaulted, angled, etc. Do not use in areas where people occupy the space above the luminaire such as stairwells, balconies, 2 level lobbies, adjacent to exposed elevators or escalators, ramps, etc. This luminaire must be mounted no lower than 2.6 meters [8.5ft] from the floor or raised platform. Wall and Ceiling reflectance impacts the dosage of UVC irradiance in the space occupied by people. After installation, it should be confirmed that UVC irradiance in the space does not exceed permissible human exposure as defined in ISO 15858:2016. Please refer to application documents provided by Signify regarding your specific installation. Do not operate the luminaire or use the space until the installer has verified there is no UVC danger within the occupied space. The luminaire must be powered off at the breaker panel in the event there needs to be any maintenance or servicing required.

AT NO TIME SHOULD ANY PERSON EXPOSE THEMSELVES TO THE UVC RADIATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. FAILURE TO AVOID EXPOSURE WILL CAUSE SERIOUS EYE AND SKIN INJURY. UVC RADIATION IS NOT VISIBLE TO HUMANS. EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE OR ANIMALS TO BE EXPOSED TO THE UVC RADIATION THIS LUMINAIRE PRODUCES.

UVC radiation can have adverse affects on organics such as plants and animals. UVC radiation may damage or discolor materials such as plastics and rubber.

Refer to Lamp manufacturer for recommended lamp life and maintenance schedules. When handling lamps, use gloves. Warnings and Safety: A lamp breaking is extremely unlikely to have any impact on your health. If a lamp breaks, ventilate the room for 30 minutes and remove the parts, preferably with gloves. Put them in a sealed plastic bag and take it to your local waste facilities for recycling. Do not use a vacuum cleaner.

A safety switch is included in the construction of this product in the form of a normally-open push-button switch mounted on the bottom of the housing. This switch is held in the “ON” position by a sheet metal plate held onto the bottom surface of the product by four accorn nuts. Removing this bottom sheet metal plate will allow the switch to extend to the “OFF” position, extinguishing the UVC lamp to allow for safe replacement. The sheet metal plate must be returned to its original position before the product will function.

Installation

Mounting Requirements:
Distance From Floor- 8.5ft minimum Luminaire must be perfectly level

The U2C409-UNV-1/4-EB is designed for rooms with a ceiling height of greater than or equal to 9ft(2.74m).

1. Remove the fixture from the shipping carton. (see Figure-1)

2. Place the fixture with ceiling plate in the grid ceiling system. (see Figure-2)
   NOTE – Requires 2’x2′ spacing in ceiling.

3. 3. Make sure electrical supply is NOT energized,then make supply connections in access plate provided in ceiling mounting plate on top of the fixture. (see Figure-3)
      NOTE – ELECTRICAL SUPPLY MUST REMAIN UN-ENERGIZED UNTIL ALL INSTALLATION PROCESSES ARE COMPLETE!

4. Additional auxilary mounting points are provided. Chains, cables, ridgid wire, etc., may be employed to supportive structure above the fixture. (see Figure-3)

Lamp Installation

1. Remove the four Acorn Nuts from the bottom of the fixture. This will release the bottom plate. (see Figure-4)

2. Remove bottom plate and set it aside. This will reveal access to the lamp compartment. Notice four PL lamp- holders attached to specular reflectors. (see Figure-5)
   NOTE – BE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES WHILE HANDLING THE UVC LAMPS.

3. Push the four Philips 9W TUV lamps into the lampholders (‘click’) while wearing gloves.(see Figure-5)
   NOTE – There is a momentary switch provided for added protection from UVC exposure. This switch is in the normally “ON” position until the bottom plate is replaced.
   THIS FEATURE IS ONLY DESIGNED TO LIMIT UVC EXPOSURE AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR DISCONECTING BRANCH POWER AT THE BREAKER PANEL.

4. After lamps have been installed, replace the bottom plate and fasten it securely with the four Acorn Nuts from “step-1”.

NOTE – For access to the ballast and internal electrical connections – FIXTURE MUST BE DE-ENERGIZED FROM THE BREAKER PANEL BEFORE SERVICE MAY BE ATTEMPTED!!
For internal access, remove wiring cover by removing (4) screws at each corner.
