Abstract
Antimicrobial system including a luminaire configured to emit a disinfection light in an ultraviolet band for disinfecting a vicinity of a target pathogen. A switching device that includes a primary relay pack. The primary relay pack has a communication interface, a measurement circuit, a processor, and disinfection monitoring programming in a memory. Execution of the disinfection monitoring programming by the processor configures the primary relay pack to perform the following functions. Based on a second input from the operator, produce a visual inspection signal. Monitor, via the measurement circuit, a power parameter of the luminaire. Compare the monitored power parameter with an active disinfection threshold, a passive operation threshold, or a combination thereof. In response to the comparison, either determine that the disinfection light source is unexpectedly on, is degraded or disabled, or the luminaire is inoperable; or control power to the luminaire to emit the disinfection light.
