• Read these instructions prior to operating the unit.

• Keep and follow all instructions.

• Heed all warnings. Failure to use the equipment in the manner specied may impair the unit from providing the

desired protection.

• Plug unit into a grounded outlet. Ensure proper conditions for operation. The unit is designed to operate under

normal conditions indoors (temperature 5-40 degrees Celsius, RH less than 80% (non-condensing), at an altitude

<2000m and main supply uctuations +/- 10% of nominal voltage, overvoltage Category II.

• Allow unit to complete pre-programmed cycles prior to unplugging or shutting o power. This allows it to enter safe

mode.

• Do not allow the unit to get wet or be used in or near water.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Use in accordance with these instructions.

• Do not attempt to open or tamper with the unit.

• Do not place or store the unit near any ammable materials or liquids.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades and a

third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not

t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the unit.

• Unplug this unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the unit has been damaged in any way,

such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit, the unit

has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• Unit is designed to operate only when the room is unoccupied. There are redundant safety systems to ensure the

unit does not activate while the room is occupied as the UV light is not recommended for excessive exposure. If the

sensor in the system fails, the system will shut down.

• Do not look directly at the unit due to the brightness of the light. UV light does not signicantly penetrate standard

glass, therefore, incidental exposure on the other side of a window or wall does not present any signicant risk.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A TOY. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

SAFETY WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Disclaimer: The S.A.G.E. UV unit is not intended for use as a medical device and people should not be directly exposed to the

light generated by the unit. The actual disinfection rates on a specic space will vary.

GENERAL OPERATION OF THE UNIT

1. Position the unit in the targeted cleaning area. See page 4 for set-up instructions.

• It is recommended that you place the unit approximately 2 meters (~6 1/2 feet) or less

away from the priority areas. Note that the unit has been tested to kill E. coli, S. enterica, S.

aureus at distances of up to 4 meters (~13 feet) away, but the length of time necessary to

run the unit increases with the distance from targeted area.

• Leverage reective surfaces in your space, including standard glass, as the UV light will

reect o of these surfaces. However, surfaces such as paint will absorb the photons,

minimizing eects of the unit, so avoid placing the unit too close to walls in your area.

2. Adjust the height of the unit to optimize eects of the unit, minimizing any shadowed areas.

See page 5 for how to adjust the height of the unit.

3. Plug the unit into a standard 110V wall receptacle using a surge protector. At its peak, the

Beam unit will draw less than 7 amps (less than a standard vacuum cleaner) for 4 second

intervals. Ensure the breaker has available amp draw during operation.

4. While the unit is operational, all personnel should leave the room during the disinfection cycle.

Exit the room within 60 seconds for optimal functioning of the unit. The unit is programmed

to operate for 30-minutes per cycle. See page 7 for more information on recommended

cleaning protocols. The unit’s redundant safety systems will stop the unit from operating if

motion is detected in the space. The unit will resume operation approximately 60 seconds

after room is unoccupied and no additional motion is detected.

5. The unit will run a safety test to ensure unit is functioning properly and that there is no motion

detected in the space. If successful, unit will run its pre-programmed operational cycle as

described in step 4.

6. Allow the unit to complete its entire cycle before unplugging the unit. This allows the unit

to enter safe mode. If necessary to unplug the unit prior to completion of cleaning cycle, be

sure to keep unit away from water for optimal safety. It’s recommended that the units have a

15-minute cool down period after each 30-minute disinfection cycle.

CONFIGURING THE UNIT

The S.A.G.E. Wizard can be used to congure units to the preferred programming mode and

adjust related settings. This conguration should be completed before initial operation or as

changes need to be made. To begin, visit www.violetdefense.com/wizard to download the

S.A.G.E. Wizard and computer conguration instructions. After downloading, run the installer

and a shortcut will be placed on computer’s start menu and desktop.

1. Congure your computer per instructions.

2. Plug the S.A.G.E. unit into your computer using an Ethernet cable.

3. Open the S.A.G.E. Wizard and follow the on-screen instructions to congure the unit,

including operational mode, related settings such as length of motion time-out, runtime

for manual or scheduled mode, and scheduling options, such as start-time for scheduled

mode.

4. Once completed, unplug the cable and the unit is ready for use.

Each standard unit has 3 primary modes available to users. Fixtures must be programmed

before initial use.

• Single Cycle Mode: (MOST COMMON FOR MOBILE DEPLOYMENTS) In this method,

users will manually activate the unit to start a disinfection cycle. The unit will then

run its pre-programmed cycle (i.e. 15 or 30 minutes) one time before entering safe

mode until power is cycled on and o again. Users may select the timeout time,

which determines how long the unit will wait until resuming operation after motion is

detected.

• Autonomous Mode: In this mode, once plugged in, the unit will automatically

activate once the space is unoccupied and continue disinfection on a regular

schedule, adjusting frequency based on level of activity in the space based on the

motion sensor. Users may select the timeout time, which determines how long the

unit will wait until resuming operation after motion is detected.

• Scheduled Mode: In this mode, the unit will activate at selected time(s) of day

during each 24-hour period. Users may schedule up to 4 start times each day to

operate for a specied run time (i.e. 15 or 30 minutes). Users may select the motion

timeout, which determines how long the unit will wait until resuming operation after

motion is detected. The unit may also be congured to activate a disinfection cycle

immediately when it is powered and then continue with the scheduled operational

time(s).

TROUBLESHOOTING

RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROTOCOLS

For most situations, the general cleaning procedures can be used to operate the S.A.G.E. UV

unit. However, there are special instructions recommended for blood spills, or when certain

organisms, such as C. di are known or suspected to be present.

General Cleaning

1. Complete standard cleaning procedures to remove any visible dirt, grease, or other

debris from space.

2. Activate the unit per operational instructions on page 3.

3. Upon returning to space, look at indicator light. Solid green light indicates cleaning cycle

completed. If motion was detected prior to observing the indicator light, the indicator

light will turn red. If users want to determine if unit completed the last cycle, prior to

powering o, stand out of range of the motion sensor for 60 seconds. The light will

resume solid green if cycle was completed. Otherwise, it will resume operation.

Cleaning When Blood or Bodily Fluids Are Present

UV light has the ability to penetrate liquid blood, which has not formed a dried crust, or

bodily uids up to a 1/16” thickness as long as there is no tissue or solid material present.

Therefore, UV light may be used to help protect sta before and after traditional cleaning

protocols for your facility.

1. Activate S.A.G.E. UV unit prior to commencing any cleaning procedures. If the blood has

already dried, apply hydrogen peroxide solution prior to running the unit.

2. Utilize normal procedures, including appropriate safety protocols to clean the space,

including removal of blood and bodily uids.

3. Activate a second cycle of the S.A.G.E. UV unit to target any remaining bacteria and

viruses.

Cleaning When C. di Is Of Concern

Clostridium dicile (C. di) is a bacteria that is extremely dicult to kill (hence its name) as

it is able to survive in unfavorable conditions. Furthermore, it is an anaerobic, endosporic

organism, which means it can survive without oxygen and form dormant spores to survive

harsh conditions. With the risk of severe illness associated with C. di, it is recommended

that you use a combination of approaches to reduce the risk of contracting C. di in your

facility.

1. Utilize your facility’s adopted environmental cleaning and disinfection strategy for dealing

with C. di.

2. Activate the S.A.G.E. UV unit for two consecutive 30-minute cycles at a range of less than

one meter for best results.

CLEANING PROTOCOLS

SENSOR INDICATORS

S.A.G.E. UV SAFETY OVERVIEW

Given the correct combination of user protocols and the built-in safety features, there are

minimal risks of any harmful eects from using the S.A.G.E. UV units.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• If in the vicinity of the S.A.G.E. UV unit during operation, do not look directly at the

light. This is similar to how one would avoid harmful eects from the sun by not

looking directly at it.

• Germicidal UV light does not signicantly penetrate standard glass.

• Per the built-in safety features described below, the unit is designed to not operate

while a room is occupied. However, operators are instructed in the user manual to

have all persons vacate a space before operation. Further optional protocols, such

as signage indicating the UV unit is in operation may be desired.

SAFETY FEATURES

The S.A.G.E. UV units have four primary aspects to their built-in safety features to ensure

the safety of anyone operating the unit or in its vicinity.

Limited Exposure Risk

Due to the nature of the programming on the S.A.G.E. UV units, over a 30-minute cycle

time for the unit, the actual exposure to UV (if there were no other safety systems in place)

would be no more than two seconds of exposure.

Motion Detection

Each S.A.G.E. UV unit has built-in passive infrared (PIR) sensor used to detect motion in

a space. The sensor is programmed to detect individuals walking into the deployment

space. The unit will not resume operation of the cleaning cycle until it has successfully

detected the space is free of motion.

Safe Stop

The third layer of protection built into the S.A.G.E. units is to ensure that if the motion

sensor or other components experience technical issues, the unit will safe stop by cycling

the unit o. The unit will ash red indicating that one should contact Violet Defense for

technical support. The unit will not resume operation until the issue detected has been

resolved. If unit is non-responsive (i.e. non-operational or no indicator light), contact Violet

Defense.

Frequency of Flashes

The S.A.G.E. UV units will ash every 6 seconds during operation. Violet Defense

collaborated with the Epilepsy Foundation when designing the product to ensure that the

frequency of ashes will not cause any issues for someone with photosensitive epilepsy.

UV SAFETY OVERVIEW

S.A.G.E. UV SAFETY OVERVIEW

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not have any mandated

exposure limits to ultraviolet light. OSHA only provides technical guidance regarding

protecting employees from ultraviolet laser exposure. While general information about

ultraviolet contained in that guidance is described below, it is important to note that Violet

Defense Technology does not currently deploy ultraviolet lasers. For more information on

OSHA’s guidelines, visit https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_

table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=24755.

Ultraviolet radiation is divided into three regions: UV-A: 315-400 nanometers (nm), UV-B:

280-315 nm, and UV-C: 100-280 nm. UV can be associated with adverse health eects due

to prolonged exposure and the wavelength of light.

According to OSHA’s guidelines, “exposure in the shorter UV-C and longer UV-A ranges

seems less harmful to human skin. The shorter wavelengths are absorbed in the outer dead

layers of the epidermis and the longer wavelengths have an initial pigment-darkening eect

followed by erythema if there is exposure to excessive levels.”

“The hazards associated with skin exposure are of less importance than eye hazards.”

Exposure to light may cause photokeratitis or cataracts.

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends limits to

exposure determined by the wavelength of UV light and intensity. NIOSH recommends that

the time of exposure to an intensity of 100 microwatts per square centimeter at wavelength

254 nm not exceed 1 minute. Per the programming, UV exposure from S.A.G.E. unit for a

30-minute cycle is less than two seconds. For more information, view the recommended

standards from NIOSH (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/73-11009/pdf/73-11009A.pdf).

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the governmental agency responsible for

regulating ultraviolet light products. It regulates chemical disinfectants along with devices,

such as equipment that generates UV light, used to control pests like bacteria and making

antimicrobial claims. For more information about EPA guidelines, visit https://www.epa.gov/

safepestcontrol/pesticide-devices-guide-consumers.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only regulates devices that are classied as medical

instruments, machines, and devices used to treat diagnosed medical conditions. Therefore,

Violet Defense does not fall under FDA guidelines.
