SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WARNING: Never expose eyes or skin to UVC light from any source. • Looking directly at the UVC light may cause permanent eye damage or blindness. • Never operate the UV-Aire Air Purifying System out of the plenum. • Designed for a closed duct system. Do not mount near a supply or a return air opening. • All duct openings in direct line of site of the UV light must be sealed with aluminum tape or equivalent sealing methods.

INSTALLATION 1. Locate a suitable location for the unit downstream from the ‘A’ coil in the supply plenum or in the return plenum; preferably downstream from the air filter. For optimum “cleaning” effect on the ‘A’ coil, mount the unit in the supply plenum as close as possible to the ‘A’ coil. (See Figure 1) CAUTION: Investigate and determine the location of the A coil prior to drilling holes in duct for mounting unit.

8. Attach the UV-Aire mounting base onto the plenum with the supplied sheet metal screws. (Refer to template as shown in Figure 3) This must be tight in order to activate the built in safety switch. NOTE: DO NOT remove template from duct. 9. Do not handle the lamp with bare hands. Oils on your hands tend to reduce lamp intensity. Install lamp into ballast. (See Figure 6) 10. Wipe off the lamp glass with the supplied alcohol wipe. Then insert the lamp through the center hole of the mounting base.

MAINTENANCE WARNING: Disconnect power to the transformer before commencing inspection and cleaning. NOTE: Wear disposable, nonabsorbent protective gloves prior to inspection procedure in case of accidental breakage of glass. 1. We recommend inspecting and cleaning the lamp at least every 6 months. Frequency depends upon the environment. Such as: the type of air filter, duration of use and replacement cycle. 2. To maintain maximum output intensity, replace the UV-Aire lamp annually.

CLEAN-UP OF BROKEN LAMPS (see warnings on page two of this manual) UV lamps contain a small amount of mercury, like a typical fluorescent lamp. DO NOT touch any of the mercury with your bare hands. 1. While wearing disposable, non-absorbent protective gloves. Carefully pick up the large pieces of glass with your hands. 2. Vacuum the entire area with a standard household vacuum cleaner ensuring the removal of all lamp material. 3.
