2. Determine the type of duct you have.

(For flex duct applications, refer to Figure 21 on page 8)

IF YOU HAVE METAL DUCT:

a.Apply supplied wet and stick mounting template to air duct in either a vertical or horizontal position as shown in Figure 2.

b.

Drill 1/8” diameter mounting holes at positions indicated on

 

 

template.

 

c.

Cut out the marked openings on template using a hole saw

 

 

or a pair of tin snips or jigsaw. (See Figure 2)

 

d.

Remove paper template from duct.

 

IF YOU HAVE DUCT BOARD:

 

a.

Mount the supplied metal mounting plate onto the duct with

Figure 2

 

duct tape in either a vertical or horizontal position as shown

 

 

in Figure 2. (See Figure 3)

b.Bend tabs outward as shown in figure 4.

c.Using a knife or blade, cut out a rectangle opening in the duct using the mounting plate as a template. (See Figure 5)

d.Remove the cut piece of duct. (See Figure 6)

e.Bend both tabs down and through duct at first bend point. (See Figures 7 & 8)

f.Bend both tabs at the second bend point up or down to pinch the duct material and grip the duct material. (See Figures 9 & 10

g.Using a screwdriver or pointed object, locate mounting holes by poking holes through the duct tape. (See Figure 11)

Field Controls UV-12, UV-18 installation instructions For flex duct applications, refer to on

UV-12, UV-18 specifications

Field Controls UV-12 and UV-18 are advanced ultraviolet (UV) air purification systems designed to enhance indoor air quality by effectively targeting and neutralizing airborne pathogens. These models utilize cutting-edge technology to provide a safer and healthier environment in residential and commercial spaces.

One of the primary features of both the UV-12 and UV-18 units is their powerful UV-C light technology. This germicidal UV light works at a wavelength of 254 nanometers, effectively disrupting the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. By doing so, these systems render the pathogens inactive, significantly reducing their ability to reproduce and cause illness.

The UV-12 is suitable for smaller HVAC systems, making it an ideal choice for compact spaces or homes. It boasts a dual-lamp design that offers enhanced purification capacity without compromising energy efficiency. The UV-18, on the other hand, is designed for larger HVAC systems, delivering increased output for areas with higher air volume and contamination loads. The larger unit accommodates more extensive applications without sacrificing performance.

A significant advantage of the Field Controls UV systems is their low-maintenance design. The replacement UV lamps are designed to last up to 18 months of continuous operation, ensuring consistent performance without frequent interventions. Moreover, the installation process is straightforward, as both models can be easily integrated into existing HVAC systems, allowing for minimal disruption to the user’s daily operations.

Another critical aspect of the UV-12 and UV-18 is their ability to operate silently, providing air purification without noise distractions. This characteristic makes them ideal for use in environments where quiet operation is essential, such as homes, offices, and healthcare facilities.

In addition to their germicidal capabilities, the Field Controls UV systems also help in reducing unpleasant odors. By targeting VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and other airborne contaminants, they contribute to a fresher and more pleasant indoor atmosphere.

Overall, the Field Controls UV-12 and UV-18 air purification systems represent a solid investment for those seeking to improve indoor air quality. Their innovative UV technology, ease of maintenance, and silent operation make these units an excellent choice for maintaining a healthy living or working environment. The combination of efficacy and user-friendly design ensures that users can enjoy peace of mind while effectively combating harmful airborne pathogens.
