Dear Customer,

With your purchase of a Dr. KERN tanning system, you have opted for a technically superior, high-performance unit. Our production staff has made every effort to ensure the reliable, trouble-free operation of your Dr. KERN system.

There is also a great deal that you can do to enhance your satisfaction and extend the life of your tanning system. Please read the User's Guide carefully and install the equipment in accordance with the installation instructions enclosed. Proper installation is essential to flawless tanning system performance.

Please note!

The tanning system is designed for a fixed connection with separator to a 380-400 V 3NAC power outlet (or for a CEE plug connector). In the event of power cable replacement, only type H05W-5 FG 1.5 ^2 cable may be used.

The tanning system must be installed in a dry room and kept free of exposure to spray or drop moisture. Maximum relative humidity and room temperature should not exceed 70% and 28°C, respectively. Higher room temperatures generate higher temperatures on the bench surface and under the sun hood.

Air intake slots and hot air exhaust vents on the cooling fans must not be blocked or covered, as the system may otherwise overheat.

In case of fan failure-which results in unusual heating of the tanning appliance-turn the equipment off immediately.

Always disconnect the system from the power source when performing work on the system (replacement of tubes/bulbs and starters or cleaning operations).

Repairs to the tanning system may be carried out only by a locally certified electrician or by plant customer service personnel.

When installing the tanning system, please ensure that the floor has sufficient load-bearing capacity (min. 4.5 KN/m ^2 ). If the capacity is lower, the installer must furnish appropriate documentation.

The acrylic plates in the system have proven to be incompatible with several cosmetics and cleansers currently on the market. Compatibility with our product ECOCLEAN has been tested, and the use of these products is safe for the equipment. We assume no liability for damage to the acrylic plates caused by chemical products of other manufacturers.

Attention!

This unit has an exhaust air system which only works properly with an sufficient incoming and outgoing air. The warranty expires if the requirements will not be fulfilled.

Interesting facts about tanning

The radiation of the tanning units is of an optimal composition. The special lamps emit a particularly high proportion of mild UV-A tanning rays. This avoids sunburn while allowing the skin to tan in the shortest possible time.

Aside from the cosmetic effects, reasonable exposure to tanning rays can promote overall physical well-being and may, in addition, have a favorable influence on a variety of skin disorders. Persons with known health disorders, however, should always consult a physician prior to tanning. The tanning appliance can produce its optimal tanning effect only when normal preconditions which are required for tanning in sunlight are present. The radiation of the tanning appliance will have no tanning effect on persons whose skin does not tan in sunlight.

General safety precautions

UV appliances must not be used by persons who sunburn in sunlight without tanning their skin (Skin type I), persons who show a tendency to sunburn, children under 16 years of age, or by persons who have suffered from skin cancer or who have a tendency to do so.

The recommendations specific to the individual unit regarding the tanning times and radiation intervals must be observed.

Do not use the system if the time control unit is defective or the filter glass is broken.

Ultraviolet exposure (radiation) from the sun or from UV appliances can lead to damage to the skin or eyes. These biological effects depend on the type and quantity of exposure (radiation), as well as on the sensitivity of the skin of the individual.

The skin may exhibit sunburn after excessive tanning. Overly frequent repetition of ultraviolet tanning sessions with sunlight or UV appliances may lead to premature aging of the skin as well as to an increased risk of skin tumors.

Without the use of protective eyewear, eyes can become inflamed on the surface, and in certain cases excessive exposure to UV light may damage the retina. Many repeated tanning sessions may lead to the formation of grey cataracts.

Special care must be taken in cases of particular sensitivity of some individuals to ultraviolet radiation, as well as in cases where certain medications or cosmetics are being

Therefore, the following safety precautions must be observed:

After tanning

• Always use protective goggles.
• Remove cosmetics in time for tanning and do use any type of sunscreen agent.

It is advisable to apply a moisturizing lotion to the skin after tanning.

- Do not tan when taking medication which increases the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet radiation. If in doubt, consult a physician.

- Always leave a break of one day between tanning sessions and do not have a sunbath on the same day.

- Follow recommendations concerning tanning times, intervals and distances.

- Visit your physician if the skin displays persistent swelling, sores or pigmented moles.

The appliance is now coin box operated.

After release by the coin box the timer is going from „0" minutes upwards.

The appliance can be started and stopped.

The up and down buttons are locked. The other buttons keep their function.

When the time is over, the appliance is completely switched off and the timer display expires.

Attention: The fan delay has to be executed by the coin box!

Resetting to timer operation

The resetting is only possible, if the coinbox is separated and the wire jumper "L1-Time" is mounted (see connection diagram on fig. 26).

For this procedure 2 persons are needed.

●Separate the appliance completely from power supply.
●During one person keeps pushing simultaneously the face tanner and body fan button at the timer, the other person is connecting the appliance to power supply again.

Cleaning the sunshower and the acrylic plates

Use a moist cloth to clean the sunshower . The acrylic plates should also be cleaned at regular intervals. Use only solvent-free, non-caustic and non-aromatic cleaning agents.

To remove the acrylic plates, pull each plate forward from its position, gripping the profile bars on the side (49) from behind as shown in Fig. 30. Bend the plate (50) slightly toward the inside. Then press the plate down and out of the mounting frame grooves on the sides. The plate can now be cleaned on both sides.

After cleaning, replace each plate in the following manner:

Set the lower edge of the plate on the pin (51), grip the side profile bars and press the outer edge of the plate (52) against one edge of the mounting frame.

Then bend the plate slightly toward the inside and press until the opposite edge locks into place on the other edge of the mounting frame. Fig. 31.

51 52 Fig. 31

Replacing UV tubes and starters

To replace tubes and starters, first remove the acrylic plates as described above.

The UV tubes in your tanning system must be replaced after a certain number of operating hours.

The effective service life of the UV low-pressure tubes is about 500 hours. Please ensure that only original replacement parts are used when replacing tubes and starters. Replacement parts can be ordered from customer service or your local dealer. Please indicate the system number (see ID plate). This applies to orders for all replacement parts.

UVA low-pressure tubes (53) are removed/inserted by turning them 90° in their sockets (54) both above and below and pulling them forward. When inserting new tubes, please ensure that the contact pins on the tubes are fitted properly into the sockets.

Starters (55) are located at the upper ends of the tubes and are removed/inserted by turning them 90° and out of their sockets. Fig. 32.

54 53 55 Fig. 32

System exhaust configuration

Exhaust air should be removed from your sunshower via a hose. Please take the following points into account with regard to the configuration of the exhaust system.

Outside temperature has a considerable impact on system operation. Ideally, outside temperature should be 28° with a relative humidity of 70%. Use only 300-mm hose for the exhaust line. Ideally, exhaust hose should lead in a straight line up and away from the cell. Bends in the hose generate air-flow resistance. Avoid 180° bends in all cases. Given a straight exhaust line configuration, exhaust hoses can be as long as 2 m without the need for an additional blower unit. If the exhaust line is longer than 2 m or has bends, the addition of an auxiliary blower unit is recommended in order to ensure effective exhaust air removal. Hose output diameter should not be reduced at any point in the exhaust line, as this may result in air blockage.
