REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

WARNING: Disconnect power to the transfomer before starting replacement procedure.

NOTE: Wear disposable, non-absorbent protective gloves prior to replacement procedure in case of accidental breakage of glass.

1.Rotate the UV-Aire ballast assembly counter-clockwise until it stops. (See Figure 9)

2.Remove the ballast assembly and lamp from the mounting base. (See Figure 7)

3.

Remove the lamp from the lamp socket. (See Figure 6)

 

Figure 9

 

4.

Install the replacement lamp into lamp socket. Do not handle the lamp with

 

 

 

 

 

bare hands. Oils on the hands tend to reduce lamp intensity.

 

 

5.

Wipe off the glass with the supplied alcohol wipe.

 

 

6.

Position the ballast assembly power cord 90° to the viewport hole on the

 

 

 

mounting base. (See Figure 9)

 

 

7.

Slide the lamp through the hole in the mounting base. (See Figure 7)

 

 

8.

Press the ballast against the mounting base. Rotate the ballast assembly

 

 

 

clockwise until it stops and is locked in place. (See Figure 10)

 

 

9.

After assembly is firmly in place, reconnect power to transformer, and plug

the power supply cord back into the standard electrical outlet. Check lamp

 

 

operation by looking through the viewport hole. A blue glow should be seen in the duct.

 

10.After replacing the lamp, make sure to install the Lamp Replacement Label. Print the date on the label and apply to the side of ballast assembly.

NOTE: If blue light leaks through any portion of plenum and/or around mounting plate, unplug power supply cord immediately and seal affected areas and/or rotate ballast and repeat step #8.

11.UV lamps contain a small amount of mercury, like a typical fluorescent lamp. Check with your local waste management authority for local disposal or recycling requirements. According to the EPA's Universal Waste Rule, these types of lamps may be disposed of into household waste.

WARNING: Never touch broken lamp or internal contents of lamp. The lamp contains mercury.

NOTE: In case of accidental exposure to internal contents of lamp, wash hands and any other affected skin area with mild detergent. Remove affected clothing immediately. If skin surface is pierced, seek medical attention immediately.

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.
