Installation Notes
APCO® RT is usually installed on the supply side
duct just above the air system but can also be
installed on the return side if necessary.
The APCO® RT unit should be oriented so that
the air flows past the UV Light first then into the
Matrix Element.
If a second optional UV lamp is used (APCO®
RT Dual) select a location inside the air system
that will allow it to shine on the greatest surface
area or the area with the most evident microbial
growth. To install the secondary UV light use
the Optional 2nd Remote UV Light Installation
Instructions provided with APCO® RT Dual.

Lamp Replacement
The germicidal UV lamp in APCO® RT needs to be
replaced periodically. TUVL111 lamps should be
replaced every year. TUVL211 should be replaced
every 2 years. Note: UV lamps will continue to
emit visible light but lose germicidal effectiveness
over time. You can upgrade to a 2 year lamp with
your existing APCO® RT Power Unit.
CAUTION!
UV lamps contain small amounts of mercury - dispose of lamps in accordance with
local environmental regulations. For more information visit www.lamprecycle.org
Note: Use of replacement UV lamps other than Fresh-Aire UV® voids warranty.

IMPORTANT!
Systems with high 24 VAC loads may require the installation of a separate 24 VAC
transformer to power the UV light.
Always use a separate 24 VAC transformer with “communicating” air systems and all
APCO® Dual (TUV-APCO-DER) models.
Draws 16 VA, may need to do load calculation: Volts under load X Amps under load.
