Notes:

•For applications with multiple systems, we recommend one unit per system.

•For larger applications, multiple units are recommended.

Contact technical support at 1-252-522-3031 for sizing.

•Each unit will require its own transformer.

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 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.

Figure 2

2.

Apply supplied mounting template to air duct in either

 

 

a vertical or horizontal position. (See 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)

 

4.

Cut out the large opening (1-1⁄2" hole) on the template.

 

 

(See Figure 3)

 

5.

Using a 1⁄4" to 1⁄2" drill bit, drill a viewport hole as

 

 

indicated on the template. (Figure 3)

 

6.

Optional Light Shield: The light shield may be mounted

 

 

at virtually any angle. However, when deciding on a

 

 

suitable location, the mounting screw head can not be in

 

 

the shaded area of template. (See Figure 4 to view areas

 

 

to avoid.)

Head of mounting screw CANNOT be

located in shaded area.

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.

UV-16/24 specifications

The Field Controls UV-16/24 is an advanced ultraviolet (UV) air purification system designed to improve indoor air quality in residential and commercial settings. The unit is particularly effective in combatting airborne pathogens, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it an essential addition to HVAC systems.

One of the standout features of the UV-16/24 is its dual UV-C lamp configuration. This design maximizes germicidal efficacy by offering thorough exposure to UV light, effectively neutralizing microorganisms present in the air as it circulates through the HVAC system. The 16- or 24-inch length of the lamps also optimizes coverage for various system sizes.

The technology behind the UV-16/24 ensures that the units operate efficiently while minimizing energy consumption. The implementation of high-output UV lamps allows for maximum disinfection within a compact form factor. The system boasts easy installation within existing HVAC frameworks, which makes it suitable for both new builds and retrofitting older systems.

Another notable characteristic of the UV-16/24 is its durable construction, designed to withstand the rigors of continuous operation. The unit features corrosion-resistant components and housing, ensuring longevity and reliability even in varying environmental conditions.

Safety is prioritized in the UV-16/24, featuring automatic shutoff capabilities when the housing is opened for maintenance. This ensures that users and technicians are not exposed to harmful UV rays during lamp replacement or service.

The Field Controls UV-16/24 operates quietly, making it a desirable option for residential settings where noise can be a concern. By utilizing UV-C technology, it does not rely on chemicals, thus contributing to a healthier indoor environment without introducing harmful substances.

Additionally, the system is designed with easy maintenance in mind. The replacement lamps are both user-friendly and readily available, simplifying the upkeep process and ensuring that optimal operation is maintained over time.

In conclusion, the Field Controls UV-16/24 presents a robust solution for enhancing indoor air quality. With its dual UV-C lamp technology, energy efficiency, durable build, safety features, and low maintenance requirements, it stands out as a reliable tool in the ongoing effort to create healthier indoor spaces. Whether for a home or commercial application, the UV-16/24 is a proactive choice for anyone looking to improve their air quality.
