7. Press shield onto duct wall then secure with screws.
(See Figure 5)
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. (See Figure 7) The power cord
must be 90° to the viewport hole on the
mounting base.
11. With the ballast pressed against the mounting base,
rotate the ballast clockwise 90°.
12. Do not wire the unit into the appliance's 24 volt fan or thermostat circuit. Premature failure of the ballast
and lamp will occur. The warranty will be voided. Do not wire into a standard 120VAC electric supply.
Wire according to Diagram A or Diagram B. Unit is designed to be wired to a 24V/40VA power supply
only. Check lamp operation by looking through the viewport hole.
NOTE: The viewport hole is made of glass and will not allow any UVC rays to pass through. A blue glow
should be seen in the duct.
13. If blue glow is not seen, make sure the base is properly installed onto duct. There is a proving switch
located on the base that needs to be seated properly onto the duct. Make sure when installing the base
the plated washer on the switch is raised approximately
(See Figure 8)
14. With aluminum or foil tape, seal all joints and seams of the plenum near the mounting location to reduce
any direct viewing of light.
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. Avoid touching the glass portion of the lamp with your hands.
