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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always unplug unit from the electrical outlet before commencing inspection and cleaning.
NOTE:
Wear disposable, non-absorbent protective gloves prior to inspection procedure in case of
accidental breakage of glass.
We recommend inspecting and cleaning the lamp at least every 6 months. Frequency depends upon the
1.
environment. Such as: the type of air filter, duration of use and replacement cycle.
To maintain maximum output intensity, replace the UV-Aire lamp
2.
annually. The lamp should operate continuously for maximum lamp life
and light effectiveness.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
WARNING:
Unplug unit from the electrical outlet before starting
replacement procedure.
NOTE:
Wear disposable, non-absorbent protective gloves prior to
replacement procedure in case of accidental breakage of glass.
Rotate the UV-Aire ballast assembly counterclockwise until it stops.
1.
(See Figure 9)
Remove the ballast assembly and lamp from the mounting base.
2.
(See Figure 7)
Remove the lamp from the lamp socket. (See Figure 6)
3.
Install the replacement lamp into lamp socket. Do not handle the lamp with
4.
bare hands. Oils on the hands tend to reduce lamp intensity.
Wipe off the glass with the supplied alcohol wipe.
5.
Position the ballast assembly power cord 90° to the viewport hole on the
6.
mounting base. (See Figure 9)
Slide the lamp though the hole in the mounting base. (See Figure 7)
7.
Press the ballast against the mounting base. Rotate the ballast assembly clockwise until it stops and is
8.
locked in place. (See Figure 10)
After assembly is firmly in place, plug the power supply cord back into the standard electrical outlet.
9.
Check lamp operation by looking through the viewport hole. A blue glow should be seen in the duct.
After replacing the lamp, make sure to install the Lamp Replacement Label. Print the date on the label
10.
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 above.
UV lamps contain a small amount of mercury, like a typical fluorescent lamp. Check with your local
11.
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.
