Chapter 3. PRODUCT SAFETY
3.1 GENERAL ADVICE
Electrical – HyGenikx AF models require an electrical connection via an existing isolated plug socket or switched fused spur
(with dedicated Earth). Power must always be disconnected prior to carrying out any work. If you are unsure how to
disconnect the power, or if there is any damage to sockets, cables, connections, or the unit itself please stop work
immediately and request advice from Mechline or a qualified electrician.
Ultraviolet light – WARNING! The HyGenikx unit should never be turned on if the cover has been removed. Be aware
direct exposure to Ultraviolet light can be harmful to skin and eyes causing irritation or even temporary blindness. If there
is any damage to the unit please disconnect power and contact Mechline.
Ozone – Whilst HyGenikx is not an ozone generator, a very small volume of ozone is released as a by-product by the
combination of technologies used. At the low levels produced there is no potential health risk during correct operation.
Our HGX-W-15-R/HGX-T-15-R refuse model is our only unit designed for use in unoccupied areas. At higher levels ozone
can cause irritation to throat, cough, headaches or shortness of breath, these symptoms should only be short term and be
resolved when the individual is removed to fresh air. If there are any concerns about the ozone produced please disconnect
power to the unit and contact Mechline. More about ozone on page 14.
Injury – HyGenikx units should always be securely mounted in a safe position, ensuring cables are not a potential trip
hazard and that every unit can be easily reached for servicing, with any relevant electrical outlets easily accessible. In the
event of a broken lamp, care must be taken to avoid cuts to hands (the complete unit can be returned to Mechline for this
work to be carried out if required) and appropriate protection should also be worn.

Chapter 4. STRUCTURE
Chapter 5. LOCATION ADVICE
We recommend that the unit is wall mounted, vertically installed, with the logo at the top of the unit and the cable at
the bottom. The bottom of the unit should be at a minimum height of 1.8m AFFL. Alternatively, the unit can be wall
mounted horizontally, ceiling mounted or placed on a high, flat, stable surface using the rubber feet supplied.
• Do not install the unit in a position where the air inlet and outlet could be blocked. This will affect
its efficiency.
• Do not install the unit in a position where a person can be in close proximity for extended periods of time.
• Avoid installing in close proximity to mechanical extraction and open windows.
• For optimum results keep the unit located in the same position and operational 24 hrs a day/7 days a week.

7.3 SERVICING INFORMATION
7.3.1 Inspection of area:
• If you are carrying out a service check on a HyGenikx unit some time after installation please ensure the
area is safe and secure to work in.
Appropriate signage should be visible to warn public that work is being carried out.
• Are there any obvious bad odour sources?
The HyGenikx unit will help to control odours but it is important that bad odour sources on site continue to be
addressed. Overflowing bins, unflushed toilets, leaks etc. should all be rectified. Refer to Section 9.2 for some
useful check points.
7.3.2 Inspection of each unit:
• Is the lamp light visible through the vents of unit?
If not please refer to Section 9.3 Lamp/Unit Failure Checklist.
• Is there an odour present in the environment that you think is coming from the unit?
After installation it is not unusual for the unit to produce a slightly metallic odour within the first 48 hours of use
due to the lamp bedding in. If the unit is working correctly but odour remains after this time please refer to
Section 9.1.3.
• Is the unit operational 24/7?
It is important to confirm with the site that the unit/power to the area is not disconnected at any point (with
units connected to lighting circuits – check turning lights off does not disconnect unit).
For technical assistance e-mail [email protected], quoting the HyGenikx model number. The model number can be
found on both sides of the unit.
