UV Air Cleanser Installation

Please, observe all warnings. Disconnect power before removal or lamp replacement. Proper installation should have UV lamp(s) at right angles to air flow, centered in duct or plenum. The UV Air Cleanser can be installed on either supply or return sides, at least 30" away from plastic air filters, of the coil and is equally effective. Note, however, if UV lamp is installed close to register or grill, the ultraviolet light may cause night glow effect which may be objectionable to homeowner.                             LAMP REPLACEMENT

Step-by-Step UV Air Cleanser Installation Instructions:

  1. Establish a location, at least 30" away from plastic air filters, for installation on the RETURN or SUPPLY SIDE of the air handling duct system.
  2. Drill one 1⅜” hole for the UV emitter lamp.
  3. Remove the cover and mount the UV Air Cleaner chassis to the duct.
  4. Position the unit on the duct, attach hardware, and tighten the unit in place.
    To install the UV lamp, slide the UV lamp through the adjustable coupling into the duct. Attach the plug carefully to the end of the four prongs of the lamp and mount the base of the lamp flush with the coupling. CAREFULLY tighten the adjustable coupling compression cap to clamp the lamp.
  5. Replace the cover and tighten the screws. Do not pinch or cut any wires.
  6. Drill a 7/16” hole in the duct 6 inches away from the mounting position of the UV-C emitter lamp. Insert the indicator plug in the hole. When the lamp is lit, the plug will glow as an indicator that the unit is working correctly. (Do not install the indicator plug if its glow will be objectionable because of the “night light” effect.)
  7. Attach the Warning Label on the duct next to the installed UV Air Cleaner.
  8. Power the unit by plugging the standard 120V power cord or hard wire for 220V. The electronic ballast will switch automatically.

    UV lamp replacement: requires one HO-14 or HO-22 germicidal UV lamp, obtained from your dealer.

Important Tips

The High Output UV Air Cleaner is the strongest UV air cleaner available on the air-quality market. It requires a minimum of rules for a productive installation:

  • Avoid direct exposure, at least 30" away from any plastics, including air filters, drip pans, plastic filter frames, etc.)
  • Avoid ANY location that would permit the homeowner access to the lamp. (Example: closet door with louvers and the unit exposed when door is open or light is seen through the louvers.) Consider night light issue.
  • Best location: across top of "A" coil @ right angles to “A”; also return plenum if not within visible range of filters, louvers, etc. (A homeowner should not be able to remove the filter and see or touch the lamp).
  • The High Output UV lamp will provide strong germicidal protection for 1 year.  The reason - it does not cycle on/off thereby maximizing its life and efficiency. To keep the UV air cleaner in top performance range, it is recommended the UV lamp to be replaced every year.
  • Review of the specification sheet and installation instructions will provide answers to most situations and questions.
 

WARNING

Prolonged exposure to the UV lamp will burn the retina of the eyes and skin.
