Fresh-Aire UV APCO-X MAG Manual

AIR TREATMENT SYSTEM
APCO-X MAG is usually installed inside the central air handling
system. Orient so the air flows past the UV light first before the
carbon. Position the unit so the UV light does not shine directly
on non-uv-resistant materials (filters, humidifiers, flex duct, etc.).
Ideally the UV light shines on the coil.
For dual systems select a remote UV light location that shines
on the greatest surface area or the area with the most
microbial growth. Refer to the Optional Remote UV Light
section for installation instructions.
IMPORTANT!
• Only qualified technicians should install this product*
• Install in accordance with relevant building codes
• Read instructions carefully including safety warnings
*Installation of this product by anyone other than licensed HVAC or electrical contractors voids warranty.

1 Installation Notes
The APCO-X MAG is usually installed inside the
central air handling system. The unit should be
oriented so that the air flows past the UV Light
first then into the Matrix Element but a reversed
installation is permitted if mounting on the return-
side of the coil.
A second remote UV lamp is included with APCO-X
MAG 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-X MAG Dual.

Surface Installation
1.
Determine the optimal position for
placement of APCO-X MAG inside the air
system.
2.
Use a utility knife to cut a slit in the
insulation on the interior surface.
3.
Place the magnetic mounting bracket
directly on the metal surface or remove the
magnet and hard-mount the bracket using
the self-tapping screws provided. Use foil
tape to close the cut in the insulation.
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.
Draws 16 VA, may need to do load calculation: Volts under load X Amps under load.

Lamp Replacement
The UV lamp in APCO-X MAG (model TUVL- 315 or TUVL- 311) should be replaced every 3 years.
Note: UV lamps will continue to emit visible light but lose germicidal effectiveness over time.
