2 - Safety Information

Ultraviolet radiation.Follow instructions.Avoid overexposure.As with natural sunlight, overexposure can

cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions.Repeated exposure may cause premature aging of the
skin and skin cancer. WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONGTERM
INJURY TO THE EYES.Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to the ultraviolet radiation. Consult physician
before using sunlamp if you are using medications or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially sensitive
to sunlight. If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from the use of this product. Children, the elderly, or fair skinned
people who always burn easily and either never tan or tan minimally should not use this equipment.

For a uniform tan, center yourself within the booth. Other positions may result in overexposure to parts of your body. Do not
use without wire grills in place. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days during their first week of tanning.
Never tan more than once a day. Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes after approximately
four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter to maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin
at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.

New lamps emit approximately 10% more ultraviolet radiation during the first 50 hours of operation. Recommended tanning
times should therefore be reduced by approximately 10% during that period.

WARNING: • Read the instructions booklet before using this sunlamp product. • All persons in the room should wear pro­tective eyewear when lamps are on. Recommended eyewear: provided eyeshields or equivalent eyewear as defined under
21 CFR 1040.20. Other types of eyewear may not provide adequate protection.Failure to use protective eyewear may result
in severe burns or other eye injury. If discomfort develops, discontinue use and consult a physician.

Renseignements sur la Sécurité - 3

Rayonnement ultraviolet.Veuillez suivre les instructions.Évitez une exposition excessive; tout comme

pour les rayons du soleil, une exposition excessive peut causer des blessures aux yeux et à la peau
et provoquer des réactions allergiques. Une exposition répétée peut causer le vieillissement prématuré de la peau et provo­quer le cancer de la peau. PORTEZ DES LUNETTES PROTECTRICES: LE NON-RESPECT DE CETTE CONSIGNE DE
SÉCURITÉ PEUT ENTRAÎNER DE GRAVES BRÛLURES OU DES LÉSIONS OCULAIRES À LONG TERME.Les médica­ments ou les produits cosmétiques peuvent augmenter votre sensibilité au rayonnement ultraviolet. Consultez un médecin
avant d’utiliser la lampe solaire si vous prenez des médicaments, si vous souffrez d’une maladie cutanée ou si vous croyez
être particulièrement sensible aux rayons du soleil. Si vous ne bronzez pas au soleil, il est peu probable que vous bronz­erez sous une lampe solaire. Les enfants, les personnes âgées et les personnes qui ont une peau claire qui brûle facile­ment, ne bronze jamais ou alors très peu, ne devraient pas utiliser cette lampe.

Pour un bronzage uniforme, placez-vous au centre du compartiment. Un mauvais alignement peut causer une exposition
excessive de certaines parties du corps. N’utilisez pas la lampe sans les grilles en fil métallique. La première semaine de
bronzage, les personnes qui n’ont pas un hâle initial ne doivent pas se faire bronzer tous les jours. Ne vous faites jamais
bronzer plus d’une fois par jour. Le bronzage commence normalement à apparaître après les premières séances : il atteint
son apogée au bout d’environ quatre semaines. Les personnes qui ont déjà un teint hâlé peuvent commencer à des
niveaux plus élevés, selon l’importance de leur hâle initial.

Les lampes neuves émettent approximativement 10 % de plus de rayons ultraviolets au cours des 50 premières heures de
fonctionnement. Le temps de bronzage doit donc êatre réduit d’environ 10 % pendant cette période.

AVERTISSEMENT : • Lisez le livret d’instructions avant d’utiliser cette lampe solaire. • Les autres personnes présentes
dans la pièce doivent aussi porter des lunettes protectrices lorsque les lampes sont allumées. Coquilles de protection pour
les yeux recommandées: Les coquilles de protection fournies ou l’équivalent, tel que le stipule le document 21 CFR

1040.20. Les autres types de lunettes protectrices peuvent ne pas assurer une protection adéquate. Utilisé sans lunettes
protectrices, ce produit peut causer des brûlures ou lésions oculaires graves. Si vous souffrez d’un malaise, arrêtez l’utili­sation et consultez un médecin.

26 - Electrical Connections

Electrical Connections

On the back of the booth is a junction box. Have
your electrician connect power directly into this
box as described in Pre-Installation Planning.
Again, a professional electrician is recommended.

Your booth is designed to work with a remote con­trol device. If you choose not to use one, insert the
Remote Control Bypass plug into one of the
remote control ports as shown. It may be installed
in either port. Your booth will not operate without
the Remote Control Bypass plug or a remote sys­tem connected. Your equipment is now ready for
use.

In the ceiling of the booth are two speakers capa­ble of handling 25W of musical power, with a
maximum of 130W. Next to the remote control
ports are two speaker inputs to connect to a
stereo.

NOTE: Your unit is designed to accept an input
from a remote control device. The remote con­trol is optional. If you plan on using a remote sys­tem refer to Remote Connections.

ATTENTION: Although the Remote Control
Bypass plug provided with your unit will work
wherever a T-Max® terminator is called for in the
series, the T-Max® terminator will not work as a
bypass plug. A bypass plug is needed only when
your booth is operated without a remote system
connected.

Remote Connections

Your tanning booth incorporates advanced circuit­ry allowing it to connect and communicate with
most remote control systems. If a remote system
is to be used, first determine whether the remote
system is a T-Max® System or a standard remote
system operating with a control relay. Follow the
appropriate instructions for your system type.

T-Max® Products

The T-Max® remote systems offer the ultimate in
sunbed control, while allowing the tanner easy
straightforward operation. Your booth is configured
to directly connect to this system. The circuitry
inside your booth eliminates the need for the T­Max® 1A or 3A when connecting to the T-Max®
Manager series. Your booth supports the auto
addressing feature of the latest T-Max® Manager
models and the following parameters: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 13, 15. See your T-Max® manual for descrip­tions of these parameters and how they function.

Auto Addressing with T-Max®

Your T-Max® Manager manual will explain how to
get into auto address mode. Once auto address has
been activated, your booth display will blink “88”.
Wait 10 seconds for the system to communicate
properly and press the START button. The booth
will flash “99” to signify it has accepted the
address and return to “0:00”.

figure 1

NOTE: A T-Max® 1A

can be substituted for

the 3A in figure 1.

CAUTION

The remote connection is not designed to supply
or accept high voltage, nor can it provide power
to an external timer. The booth’s remote inter­face circuitry operates on 5 volts, attempting to
connect it to any higher voltages will damage the
unit as well as void your warranty.

T-Max® Manager Remote System

This system is ideal for multiple sunbed installa­tions. Simply connect the RJ-22 modular cable(s),
described in the T-Max® Manager manual, into
the remote port(s) located on the back of your
booth and follow the instructions that came with
your remote system, noting figure 1. If you have an
older T-Max® Manager that doesn’t support auto
addressing, set the address, or “id”, of each unit
manually as described in Setting the address man-
ually. You can place your booth at any location in
the series.

25809-02A

28 - Remote Connections

Setting the address manually

Before connecting your booth to the T-Max®
Manager or T-Max® 1A or 3A, the address of your
booth must first be set. Set the “id” manually as
described below.

Setting the Address

1. Make sure the booth display is showing
“0:00”.

2. Press the STOP button for three seconds. The
display should indicate an address number
from “1” to “255”.

3. If you are using a T-Max® 1A or 3A as a
“master” remote, the address of the booth
must be set to “1”. If you are using a T-Max®
Manager each sunbed must be assigned a
different address. To adjust the address, press
the START button to count up until the
desired number (from 1 to 128) is achieved.
Addresses 252 to 255 are not normally used.

4. Press the STOP button to return to the nor­mal display mode.

figure 3

Remote systems using a Control Relay

Most non-T-Max® remote systems control the unit
by the use of a relay. The relay operates the unit
by connecting and disconnecting a pair of wires
leading from the unit. Refer to the user’s manual
provided with your remote system to determine if
it operates in this way. To connect your booth to
this type of system a remote interface kit is
required. Contact your place of purchase to obtain
the kit. Figure 3 details a typical connection.
Follow the instructions provided with the kit and
from the remote’s manual to make the necessary
connections.

CAUTION

The remote connection is not designed to supply
or accept high voltage, nor can it provide power
to an external timer. The booth’s remote inter­face circuitry operates on 5 volts, attempting to
connect it to any higher voltages will damage the
unit as well as void your warranty.

T-Max® 1A and 3A Remote Systems

In single sunbed installations, the T-Max® 1A and
3A can offer the same control as the T-Max®
Manager, eliminating the need for a Manager. If
you’re using a 1A in this manner, it must

have a
chip labelled “master” installed on its circuit
board. The remote control bypass plug must not
be used in this configuration. The 3A may be used
as a “master” with no modification.

After you have set the T-Max® 1A’s, or 3A’s,
address to “0” (refer to your T-Max® user’s guide)
and the booth’s address to “1” (see below), simply
connect the RJ-22 modular cables, described in
the T-Max® user’s guide, directly into either port
located on the back of the unit and either port on
the back of the T-Max® 1A or 3A. See figure 2.

NOTE: A T-Max® 1A

with a “master” chip

can be substituted

for a 3A in figure 2.

Operation - 29

Before You Tan

Please note the following warnings and precau­tions before using your tanning booth.

• Your skin should be free of cosmetics, tan­ning oils, or other body lotions prior to tan­ning except for those specifically made for
use with tanning devices. However, do not
remove natural body oils by bathing or
showering immediately before tanning.

• This unit intended for individual use. Only
one pair of eyewear is included.

Exposure Times

Follow the guidelines for skin type and exposure
times as shown in the table below. Untanned per­sons should not tan on consecutive days during
their first week of tanning. Never tan more than
once a day. Tanning normally appears after the
first few sessions and maximizes after approxi­mately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week
thereafter to maintain appearance. Persons
already having a base tan may begin at advanced
levels corresponding to the extent of their base
tan.

Tanning Position

For best results, follow all directions carefully. To
obtain a uniform tan, stand in the center of the
booth and raise your hands. You may hold onto
the interior handles wherever it feels comfortable.
There is no need to turn yourself around while
tanning.

DANGER

Some medication may increase your sensi­tivity to ultraviolet light. It is recommended
that you consult a physician before using
this equipment if taking any medication or
if you suspect that your skin might be
especially sensitive to sunlight.

DANGER

Shock hazard.
Do not operate this device near

water or while you are wet.

32 - Care and Maintenance

Cleaning After Use

Clean and disinfect the grills, floor and handles
after each use. Use a non-abrasive disinfectant
cleaner. Wipe the grills and handles with a soft
cloth dampened with disinfectant and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth. Spray the floor lightly with
disinfectant cleaner and wipe dry. We recommend
Australian Gold® PH Neutral disinfectant cleaner.

Mechanical Inspection

Your tanning booth has been built for years of
service. To ensure trouble-free operation through­out its life, inspect the unit’s mechanical integrity
every 400-500 hours of use.

•Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying that all are
firmly in place.

• Inspect door alignment. Adjust hinges so doors
close tightly with an even seam between them.
See Adjusting Hinges.

•Inspect all power cords and connections.

WARNING

Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before removing

any protective covers.

Thorough Periodic Cleaning

Introduction

The cooling fans draw air through the booth and
over time will cause a dust buildup on the lamps
and reflectors. This will reduce the tanning effec­tiveness of the unit. When a dust buildup is
observed, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the
inside of the booth.

•Open the grills and remove lamps as described
in Lamp and Grill Replacement.

•With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each
lamp to remove any film buildup.

•Clean both sides of the grills with disinfectant
cleaner.

•Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth.

•Reinstall the lamps and grills.

•Replace air filters inside each blower. Replace
with a 12” x 12” x 1” furnace filter.

Hour Counter

Your booth is equipped with an hour counter that
tracks how long the unit has been in service,
much like your vehicle’s odometer. The hour
counter is located on the top of the right blower,
behind the unit. Use this counter to track lamp
hours and many other time based maintenance
procedures.

Lamp and Grill Replacement - 33

Lamp and Grill Replacement

Introduction

To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness,
change lamps after approximately 600-800 hours
of use. Tanning will continue after this time but at
a slower rate. To ensure trouble-free operation of
your booth, replace the lamp starters whenever
the lamps are replaced.

Opening/Replacing Grill Shields

Each grill is secured in place by four quarter-turn
latches. The Left Module is shown at right. Using
the hex key (included in the hardware kit) remove
the floor. Then use it to unlock the grill. 1Swing
the grill open, 2lift it and 3pull the bottom out.

To replace the grill, insert the top hinge pin in the
hole at the top of the module, swing the bottom
pin into place and drop it down to engage the pin.

WARNING

Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before removing

any protective covers.

CAUTION

Be careful. The edges of the grill shield
may be sharp.

34 - Lamp and Grill Replacement

Removing/Replacing Main Lamps

After opening the grill, grasp a lamp at one end
and at the middle and turn the lamp one quarter
turn. Gently remove the lamp from its holders.

Reinstall the lamp by inserting the pins located on
the ends of the lamp into the slots on top of the
lamp holders and turn the lamp a quarter turn. It
should click in place.

Removing/Replacing Main Lamp Starters

The top of the starter is visible after removing a
lamp. There is one starter for each lamp. Grasp the
starter and turn it gently. It will click loose and pull
out easily.

Reinstall the starter by inserting the pins located
on the bottom of the starter into the holes in the
starter holder and turning. It should click in place.

Recommended Replacement Lamps

We recommend using the lamps specified below.
Use of uncertified lamps is a violation of Federal
regulations and will void your warranty. These
lamps have an average life of 600-800 hours of
effective tanning use. Lamps used longer than that
begin to lose their effectiveness even though they
continue to light.

ONLY THE FOLLOWING LAMPS HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED FOR USE IN THIS EQUIPMENT:

BRONZING SUN™ Wolff® Model BS71-T12-160W VS-R BI-PIN

Lamp and Grill Replacement - 35

Replacing Entry Lamps

Above the doors are two small fluorescent lamps
to illuminate the inside of the booth when the tan­ning lamps are off. To access these lamps you
must first remove the Dome. Follow these direc­tions carefully.

Unscrew the four screws on the back of the
Dome. Lift the back of the Dome, shift it forward
and remove it.

On the front of the ceiling assembly is an oddly
shaped metal panel (see below). Four screws hold
it in place. Remove the screws and carefully lift
the panel. Be careful not to pull on the wires run­ning through the panel. Turn it over to reveal the
lamps (right).

Grasp the lamp by its base, not the lamp glass,
and pull it straight out of the lamp holder. Replace
the lamp by lining up the pins on its base with the
lamp holder and pressing it firmly into place.

Reverse the above directions to reassemble the
Dome.

Replace with Philips Alto PL-C 26W/35/2P or
equivalent.
