- Mount lamp with magnet or self-tapping screws
- Turn off power or disconnect HVAC unit before installing power supply
- Connect to 18-32 VAC or 110-277 VAC power depending on model (see wiring diagram)

2) Power Supply Installation
IMPORTANT! Check which power supply is included with your Tight-Fit Kit before connecting to power. Turn off main power source before installation.
-
Find a suitable location for the power supply inside the control panel of the air handler.
Install using the self-tapping screws. -
Use the wiring diagrams below to connect to power. The low voltage power supply (18 to 32 VAC) is marked “ER”. The high voltage (120 to 277 VAC) power supply is marked “ST”.
2) Heating Element Caution!
IMPORTANT! The Tight-Fit Kit’s components are designed to withstand the typical ambient temperatures found near fan coil and PTAC heating elements up to a constant 194°F (90°C). If installing the lamp near a heating element, secure the wires as far away from the heating elements’ wires as possible to prevent them from touching the element. In addition, use the included slit loom tubing for additional protection of the power supply wires that may be mounted near the heating elements.
3) UV Lamp Connection
- When all the other components are properly installed connect the UV Lamp cable to the Power supply cable.
- Make sure the flanges are aligned and then push the connectors firmly together. A tight connection ensures a proper water-resistant seal.
7) Sight Glass Installation (Optional)
Sight glass may not be needed if reflected UV light is visible.
- Find a suitable location on the outside of the unit near the UV Lamp installation and apply the FreshAire UV® warning/lamp replacement sticker.
- Drill a ½” hole through the orange circle on the sticker. Press the UV safety viewport into hole.
- Turn on the power and use the sight glass to confirm that the UV Lamp is operating.
