SAFETY WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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 Vantage UV units.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• If in the vicinity of the Vantage 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 to have all persons vacate a space

before operation. Signage indicating that persons should use caution as the UV unit may

be in operation are also recommended.

SAFETY FEATURES

The Vantage 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 Vantage 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 Vantage 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 Vantage 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 Vantage 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.

the manufacturer’s site planning recommendations, including instructions on 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

unoccupied spaces located above the equipment mounting area (e.g. upper oor balconies, open

staircases, etc.).

6. UV and optical radiation can be reected by surrounding surfaces such as ceilings and walls. Since

reective 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 nishes.

7. 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 ALL SITE AND EQUIPMENT

SAFEGUARDS TO ENSURE THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SYSTEM

MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING AN ASSESSMENT OF IRRADIANCE OR

ILLUMINANCE LEVELS IN THE SURROUNDING OCCUPIED SPACES.

8. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to

tampering by unauthorized personnel.

9. Equipment contains no user serviceable components. Contact Violet Defense for service.

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.

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

condition.

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

12.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.

13.Allow unit to complete pre-programmed cycles prior to unplugging or shutting o power. This

allows it to enter safe mode.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

REMOVE COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER

SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol, within an

equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the

presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within

the product’s enclosure that may be of sucient

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to

persons.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

This device complies with FCC Part 15B Class A, ICES-003 Issue 7 Class A and Directive 2014/30/EU. Operation is subject

to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to FCC Part

15B, Class A, ICES-003 Issue 7 Class A and Directive 2014/30/EU. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

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

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

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

17.Do not place or store the unit near any ammable materials or liquids.

18.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has

two blades and a third grounding prong.

19.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

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

21.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.

22.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.

23.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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Disclaimer: The Vantage 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 depending on time, distance, pathogens, and product selection.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1. The Vantage UV unit is designed to be deployed approximately 2 meters (~6 1/2 feet) away from priority

areas. See page 14 for additional information on installation and other deployment methods. Reective

surfaces, including metallic surfaces, tiles, and safety glass will enhance the eectiveness of the unit as

the UV light will reect o of these surfaces. Do not block or interfere with the PIR motion sensor as this

ensures the unit will only activate when the space is unoccupied.

2. The unit should be either plugged into a proper grounded outlet or hard-wired following appropriate

electrical code per your model. Ensure the breaker is properly sized for operation.

3. While the unit is operational, all personnel should leave the space during the cleaning cycle. Exit the

space within 60 seconds for optimal functioning of the unit. Provided signage should be used to advise

persons in the space to use caution as UV disinfection may be in progress. Additional signage options

available through Violet Defense.

4. 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 (unless alternate motion timeout was

selected) after room is unoccupied and no additional motion is detected. If any issues are detected with

the unit, turn o power to the unit and contact Violet Defense for support.

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. See guidelines for

standard unit or building automation enabled units for more information on operational modes.

6. Allow the unit to complete its entire cycle before unplugging or turning o power to the unit to allow the

unit to enter safe mode. If necessary to cease operation prior to completion of cleaning cycle, be sure to

keep unit away from water for optimal safety. The units should have a 15-minute cool down period after

each 30-minute disinfection cycle.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

STANDARD UNITS

CONFIGURING THE UNIT

The Vantage 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 Vantage 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 Vantage unit into your computer using an Ethernet cable.

3. Open the Vantage 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 install the unit. See additional installation instructions on

page 14.

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

initial use.

• 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 8 start times each day to operate for a specied

run time (i.e. 10,15,20,25 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).

• Single Cycle Mode: 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. 10,15,20,25 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.

OPERATIONAL MODES

STANDARD UNITS

Building Automation Enabled Vantage units have 5 operating modes available to users that may

be enabled and/or adjusted from your building automation control system (see pages 8-10 for

additional information).

• Manual Mode: User will manually activate the unit to start a disinfection cycle. The unit

will then run its pre-programmed cycle length one time before entering safe mode until

power is cycled on and o again.

• Autonomous Mode: 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.

• BMS Mode: The unit will operate disinfection cycles similar to that of manual mode.

However, the unit will have to be activated from within your building automation system

software. For safety, UV light should only be deployed in unoccupied spaces. Please

ensure that you either activate the safety features or have an acceptable alternative

control to prevent occupant exposure to the UV light.

With the building automation capabilities of the Vantage UV Whole Room Unit, users have the ability

to adjust the following:

• Operational Modes & Settings*: Select operating modes, including type of disinfection

cycle and related selections, such as start time, run time, and motion timeout length, which

indicates how long the unit will wait to attempt re-activation after motion has been detected

• System Monitoring: Monitor current status of units remotely and troubleshoot operating

• Network Settings: Congure network settings and/or troubleshoot any networking issues

• Metrics: Access data on the units, including number of successful cleaning cycles and runtime

over specied period of time or lifetime of unit

BUILDING AUTOMATION UNITS

GETTING STARTED

To get connected to your Vantage unit, use one of the following two methods:

Connect Automatically Using a DHCP-enabled Router

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to the Vantage unit, and the other into

a DHCP-enabled router. Ensure your computer is connected to the same router (either

Ethernet or Wi-Fi).

2. Ensure your Vantage unit is powered on.

3. Use your BACnet software of choice to discover the Vantage device.

Connect manually using a direct Ethernet connection

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to the Vantage unit, and the other directly

into your computer’s Ethernet adapter.

2. Ensure your Vantage unit is powered on.

3. On your computer, set your connected Ethernet adapter’s IP address to “192.168.1.2”

4. Use your BACnet software of choice to discover the SAGE device. By default, the SAGE

device will bind to address “192.168.1.5” (Note: It may take up to 15 seconds for the device

to appear on network after bootup.)

Network Troubleshooting

1. If your BACnet software is having trouble discovering the device, try an alternate connection

method. Verify each step carefully. If it is still not responding, try rebooting the unit or using

the reset pinhole located next to the unit power source to restore the default memories.

2. The unit’s network conguration can be reset to factory default by holding the reset button

in for at least 2 seconds and then releasing. This will clear all congured IP settings and reset

the unit to preferring a DHCP-assigned IP address, but will fall back to a known address

(192.168.1.5) if no DHCP-router is detected (in the case of a direct connection, for example).

3. The unit’s entire congurable memory can be factory reset by holding the reset button in for

at least 10 seconds and then releasing. This will put the unit into manufacturing mode until

congured otherwise. In this mode, the unit can only be manually connected to (method 2)

until the 5-ash cycle has nished. When the LED is solid green, reboot the unit, and then

automatic connection (method 1) will be possible.

4. Note: If a user congured BACnet object “DHCP CNFG” to disabled, automatic connection

(method 1) will be impossible. Holding the reset button in for 2 seconds will recover this state.

5. Note: If a user congured BACnet objects “IP Address CNFG”, “Subnet Mask CNFG”, or

“Gateway CNFG”, both automatic and manual connections may be impossible. Holding the

reset button in for 2 seconds will recover this state.
