GENERAL INFORMATION

The UV-Aire unit uses technology that is recommended by doctors who state that “ultraviolet radiation, properly integrated with heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, shows the most promise as a widely applicable means of air disinfection”.1

Optional UVC-Light Shield:

Designed to mount at virtually any angle to guard or shield certain plastics, wiring or air filters that may be affected by UVC light.

INSTALLATION
1. Locate a suitable location for the unit
downstream from the 'A' coil in the supply
plenum or in the return plenum; preferably
downstream from the air filter. For optimum
"cleaning" effect on the 'A' coil, mount the
unit in the supply plenum as close as possible
to the 'A' coil. (See Figure 1)
CAUTION: Investigate and determine the						Figure 1
location of the A coil prior to drilling holes in duct for mounting
unit.
NOTE: For duct board installation, refer to enclosed bagged
assembly containing mounting plate and instructions.
2. Apply supplied mounting template to air duct in either a vertical
or horizontal position as shown in Figure 2. (Leave template
mounted to duct for future reference.)
3. Drill 1⁄8" diameter mounting holes at positions indicated on
template. (See Figure 3)
