INSTALLING YOUR UNIT

REQUIRED TOOLS

• Drill bit to initiate cut-out puncture
• Sheet metal tin snips or appropriate cutting equipment
• 12 #8 Tek screws
• Drill for Tek screws

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Use care when unboxing and handling your unit. Ensure adequate space is available for unboxing, installation, and operation prior to attempting to handle your unit. Ensure that the intended placement of your unit allows access to the necessary power requirements and does not create a hazard once connected.
To Install your Induct 300W Unit:

1. Remove from box
   • Carefully remove your Induct 300W unit, 10’ power cable and reflective panels from the shipping box
   • Inspect the Unit and all components, note any damage or defects
2. Prepare location for installation
   • Determine the best location to install your unit. Both return and supply ducting locations are acceptable for installation. Return air installation can assist with coil cleaning. For more information on best locations for your unit, consult the installation parameters in this manual or contact Air Sniper.
   • Once an installation location has been determined, take note of the direction of airflow within the duct for installation, be sure to mount the unit accordingly (airflow direction is marked at the bottom right of the unit).
   • Ensure that all exterior insulation of the HVAC duct is cut 2” back from the point of installation. Turn off all HVAC equipment prior to installation.
   • Using one of the included reflective panels as a template, identify and mark the intended cut out location for mounting the Induct 300W unit and trace the panel of where the unit will be installed. Traced rectangle should have the following dimensions: 22 ¾” x 8”
3. Cutting into duct
   • Drill a hole large enough on one of the corners of the outline as a starting point to cut out the opening in the duct for the unit to be installed. Ensure that the drill hole is made within the perimeter traced in step 2d as to not leave a gap once the unit is installed.
   • Using the sheet metal snips (or appropriate cutting device), carefully follow the trace, slowly cutting out the opening where the unit is to be installed
4. Placing reflective panels
   • Remove blue protective plastic on the provided magnetic reflective panels
   • Carefully place the unit through the cut-out of the ductwork.
   • Using your drill and the 12 #8 Tek screws and the pre-drilled mounting holes around the unit, secure the unit into the duct work where you cut into.

NOTE: When mounting, it is strongly recommended to consider a scheme that allows easy access for maintenance and unit replacement.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

To Operate your Induct 300 unit,

1. Connect the Power Cable to the unit
2. Turn the unit on using the On/Off switch located on the right side of the white front panel.
3. Once an airflow is detected, the UV Lamp will illuminate, and the “Lamp Operating” LED will turn on.

BULB STATUS

NOTE: The “Lamp Operating” LED will glow 3 different colours, indicating different bulb status.

The variations are as follows:

• Green: Lamp Operating, the lamp is operating as intended
• Yellow: Lamp Life Warning, the lamp is nearing the end of its lifespan, requires replacement in near future
• Red: Lamp Life exceeded, lamp has reached the end of its lifespan, requires immediate replacement

When the yellow “Lamp Life Warning” colour is shown, please contact your local distributor or Air Sniper directly for a replacement. The Induct 300W is designed as a complete unit, therefore when the bulb expires, the entire unit must be replaced. The Induct 300W is designed to sanitize in an environment with an airflow of 500 CFM to a maximum of 1500 CFM. If your particular application handles greater airflow, contact Air Sniper for options that may be better suited to higher airflow environments.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your unit is not operating as expected, there are several steps you can take to attempt to
correct the problem.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to operate the UV-C lamp outside of the duct. UV-C radiation is extremely harmful to unprotected skin and eyes.
If the Bulb is not operating:

• Inspect the unit and the power cable to verify nothing appears damaged.

• Check that the selected power source is in fact providing power for the unit.

• Check that both ends of the 10’ Power cable are securely connected to either the unit
  or the Power source.

• Check that the On/Off switch is flipped to the On position.

• Once airflow is established, the lamp indicator light will be lit.

If the “Lamp Operating (Bulb Life) LED is Red, the bulb has expired. Contact your local distributor or Air Sniper to replace the unit.

REPLACING YOUR UNIT

The Air Sniper Induct 300W Unit uses a built in 300W UV-C Lamp with a lifetime of 5 years (43,000 hours, based on 24/7 operation). To track the life of the Lamp on your unit, check the “Lamp Operating” LED Colour when the unit is activated to determine the state of your unit. It is strongly recommended that the unit be replaced when the Lamp Life Warning LED is illuminated (LED glows Yellow). When the Lamp life has been exceeded (LED glows Red), the entire unit will need to be replaced. Contact your local distributor or Air Sniper to order replacement units.

REQUIRED TOOLS

• New Air Sniper Induct 300W Unit
• Flat Head Screwdriver or Drill

REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the expired unit from the power source. The 10’ power cable can also be disconnected from the unit (The “Power On” LED will not be illuminated as the unit has been unplugged). WARNING: UV-C Bulbs will heat during operation, allow 20-30 minutes after unplugging the unit for the bulb to cool off.
2. Locate and remove the 12 #8 Tek screws (located around the Powder Aluminium Cover) and carefully remove the unit from the duct.
3. Insert a new unit into the duct.
4. Place and tighten the 12 #8 Tek screws back in place, securing the unit into the duct.
5. Connect the power cable to the unit.
6. Using the On/Off switch, turn the unit On, the “Power On” unit will illuminate Green.
7. Ensure that airflow is provided in the duct to activate the unit. When Airflow is detected, the lamp will illuminate, and the “Lamp Operating” LED will be activated.
8. Once the new unit is installed, carefully package the old unit and all old equipment to ship to your local distributor or direct to Air Sniper for core credit.
