Installation Notes
APCO is usually installed on the supply side duct just
above the air system (upstream of a humidier if
there is one). but can also be installed on the return
side if necessary.
The APCO unit should be oriented so that
the air ows past the UV Light rst then into
the Matrix Element. Position the APCO unit
so the UV light does not shine directly
on non-uv-resistant materials (lters,
humidiers, ex duct, etc.). If possible
orient APCO so UV light shines on the
cooling coils.
If a second optional UV lamp is used
(APCO 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 Dual.

Lamp Replacement
The germicidal UV lamp in APCO needs
to be replaced periodically. TUVL115
lamps should be replaced every year.
TUVL215 should be replaced every 2
years. Note: UV lamps will continue to
emit visible light but lose germicidal
eectiveness over time. You can upgrade
to a 2 year lamp with your existing APCO
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.
