UVC Light (Optional Accessory)
5.3.1.1
Description
An optional accessory is the UVC light. This is a fluorescent
style bulb that emits what is known as UVC-GI light wavelength
(UVC-Germicidal Irradiation, 254nm). This light is a very small
wavelength which allows it to penetrate pathogens and
destroy the DNA rendering it inert.
The light is positioned so that it shines on the full face of the
HEPA filter, allowing it to clean filter of anything that gets
caught to it and to lengthen the filter life.
Direct exposure should be avoided as it may cause damage to
skin and eyes.
The UVC light is also supplied with a reflector to ensure that
the UVC light does not have any direct exposure on the fan
assemblies.
5.3.1.2
Installation Instructions
First remove the lower and upper access panel and then
remove the HEPA filter.
Take the light ballast and align the tabs with the holes on the
right fan bulkhead, closest to the wall of the unit, and screw
them down with the provided Philips head screws.
Take supplied UVC mount assembly and align it with the four
holes (two on each bulkhead) and with the end with the Bulb
mounting bolts on the same side as the ballast. Screw assembly
down with the provided Philips head screws.
Mount the UVC bulb, by inserting the cable through the
mounting bracket. Align the blub base with the mounting bolts
and tighten the supplied nuts. Do not over tighten the nuts.
Connect the bulb to the ballast, and the ballast to the power
supply using the supplied quick connects. Ensure they have a
