WARNING: Before installing or servicing a humidifi er, air fi lter, heat system, or this unit, etc., always
turn all power OFF and have unit unplugged. Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death. Never
expose eyes or skin to direct UVC light from any source.
WARNING: To prevent water damage or electric shock, do not mount unit under a humidifi er.
WARNING: Designed for a closed duct system. Do not mount near a supply or a return air opening.
WARNING: This product is designed for installation in the interior of weather-protected HVAC equipment
or ductwork, or on the exterior of indoor ductwork only. For use on gas fi red, oil fi red, electric, split
system heat pump forced air systems*, and the interior of weather-protected heat pump packaged
units**.
*Split system heat pumps are systems where the air handler and the air conditioning compressor are
separate units.
**Packaged units are systems where the air handler and the air conditioning compressor are built
together and are installed outside of the building
INTERNAL MOUNT INSTALLATION INSIDE PLENUM OR AIR HANDLER
1. Choose a suitable location for the lamp in the supply plenum, return plenum, or air handler; preferably
downstream from the air fi lter. For optimum "cleaning" effect on the A coil, mount the unit above or below
the A-coil as close as possible while still illuminating the entire surface of the coil. (See Figure 1)
2. Clean the mounting surface with degreaser and let dry. The mounting surface must be clean and dry.
3. Attach the Shield to the Mounting Bracket Assembly, if it is to be used. (See Figure 2)
4. Attach the Lamp to the Mounting Bracket Assembly. (See Figure 3) Loosen the
clamp bracket nut, inserting the lamp through the hole, swivel the clamp bracket
fully back over the fl ange of the lamp base, and retighten the clamp bracket nut.
An #8-32 wing nut is supplied that may be used for internal applications only.
5. Remove tag and alcohol swab from the lamp, and clean the lamp glass with the
alcohol swab. Avoid touching the cleaned lamp with your hands.
6. Attach the Mounting Bracket Assembly to the mounting surface using the magnet.
If the mounting surface is insulated, slit the insulation, insert the magnet through the
slit, draw the insulation back over the magnet and bracket surface, and tape closed
using metal tape or other means that would not be affected by UVC rays.
Some surfaces may be inadequate for mounting with the magnet (rough, uneven,
heavy paint etc.). The magnet may be removed from the Mounting Bracket Assembly,
and the bracket assembly attached to the mounting surface with included self-drilling sheet metal screws or
other appropriate fasteners. Holes are provided on the bracket assembly for this purpose. Use care to avoid
equipment damage to concealed wiring and other components when installing fasteners.
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™ AirPurifying System out of the plenum. Avoid touching the glass portion of the lamp with your hands.
