3. This fixture is designed for use with UV-C lamps and must be installed in compliance with competent technical directions so that user’s eyes and bare skin will not be subjected to injurious rays.
4. UV Light Hazard. To prevent exposure to ultraviolet light. be sure the ultraviolet air treatment system is disconnected before servicing any part of the HVAC system or removing any access panel or the equivalent.
5. There shall not be any openings in the duct that would emit light.
6. There shall not be any duct supply or return air openings or any other openings that are in direct line-of-sight of the UV bulb.

2. Risk of exposure to excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation—Do not operate without complete lamp enclosure in place or if sight lens is damaged.
3. Equipment Damage Hazard. Ultraviolet light can cause color shift or surface degradation and sometimes structural degradation of non-metallic components. Select mounting location that prevents exposure to plastic flexible duct components, polyurethane foam insulation material. rubber hoses, wire insulations. etc. If mounting options are limited. items above should be protected with ultraviolet resistant materials such as aluminum foil. aluminum duct tape. or metallic shields

INSTALLATION LOCATION:

1. See page 4 for possible installation locations.
2. Products shall be mounted only on to metal air ducts.
3. Mounting shall be such that all surfaces in the duct where appliance forms parts of the duct shall be made of metal.
4. All wiring within adjacent heating and air conditioning equipment. for example. shall be shaded from direct line-of-sight from the UV bulb or shall be UV-rated.

INSTALLATION

• Installation should be done by a qualified HVAC contractor.
• Read all safety instructions (Page 2) at the beginning of this manual.
• Make sure unit is installed so that the UV light can not be seen directly through any ducts.

   Large diameter 2 shown.

2. Remove lamp assembly from packaging and safely set aside, ensuring that it cannot roll off 3 surface o be stepped on Fig 2).

3. Use 01/5″ drill to dill mounting holes through template into duct wall Cut Lamp hole with 2.34 to 3” diameter bole aw. OPTION: if you are not using 3 hole saw race 03 circle 25 shown (Fig 3) on template on intended mount surface. Cutout circular pater with tinsnips.

4. Unscrew: the locking screw for the case enclosure and open.\

5. Remove adhesive from foam backing on mounting flange. (Fig). Press and bold case against duct until glue holds unit against duct wall. Poston unit 0 all holes align.

6. Check that the unit mounting holes line up with the holes in the duct and that the uniface fully contacts the duct. Secure with #10 self tapping screw (applied).

7. Carefully stall amp assembly into Lamp bole (Fi 9) 50 he lamp: penetrate the duct. Secure lamp assembly in position with (2) 5.32 wing mut. Apply lamp connectors from ballast to 4-pia amp ends.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. For 2000 & 2018 Models. make sure that the unit is plugged into an outlet that is always on. For 2000-230 and 2181 Models. make sure that the unit is plugged or wired into a 240VAC feed that is always on.
2. Check the on/off switch to make sure it is on.
3. If the lamp is still not on, switch the unit off, unplug the power cord and check the fuse.
4. Make sure the lamp is not broken and that it is properly seated in the lamp connector. To check this, follow steps in the “Lamp Replacement’ section with one exception : you should not remove and replace the lamp. If the lamp still does not light. rotate the lamp connector 180°, re-attach to lamp.. close cover and turn power back on. If the lamp is broken read the ‘Lamp Disposal” section of this manual.
5. If the lamp is still not on. check the ballast (2000 & 2018 models only).

• Check the input power by testing the outlet for 110 VAC (230V for 2181 & 2000-230 models).
• Test the resistance of the ballast. Unplug the power cord. Measure the resistance from the black lead on the input side of the ballast to the blue lead on the output side of the ballast. To contact the blue lead you may need to remove the lamp and put the multi-meter probe into the corresponding socket opening. The resistance should be 7-12 ohms. If the resistance is less than 7 ohms, replace the ballast.
• If everything else has been checked and is fine, but the lamp is still out. the ballast starter is blown and the ballast should be replaced.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

The Second Wind 2000 Series Ultraviolet Lamp should be replaced at least every 2 years. Even if the lamp is still illuminated, replacement of the lamp is recommended by a qualified HVAC Service Technician.

5. Stabilize lamp by holding 4-pin base with one hand and release lamp from lamp clip at other end of assembly. Replace the old lamp with the new lamp, making sure the new lamp is clean. Remove finger prints and dirt with an alcohol wipe.\
6. Secure lamp with wing nut. Return lamp assembly to duct and secure with wing nuts. Attach lamp connector to the lamp base.
7. Close cover and secure with screw.
8. Tum on electrical service.
