General

Germicidal lights emit ultraviolet (UVC) energy that has been proven effective in reducing microbial life forms (viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and molds) in the air. UVC germicidal lamps greatly reduce the growth and proliferation of mold and other bio-aerosols (bacteria and viruses) on illuminated surfaces. Germicidal lamps are NOT intended to be used for removal of active mold growth. Existing mold growth must be appropriately removed PRIOR to installation of the germicidal lamp. A door switch is provided which de- energizes the UVC light when the door is opened.

IMPORTANT – Cotton gloves or a cotton cloth must be used when handling the new UVC lamp.

Application

The UVC light kit is specifically designed for LG/LC/KG/KC/KH 024-074 units. In addition, the light is equipped with shields to focus the UVC light on the coil surface where it is needed and reduce the exposure of light on other components and access panels for improved safety and overall effectiveness. Enhanced rapid start ballast provides UVC lamp operation at a full range of operating conditions. LED’s on ballast show lamp operation status: Green LED indicates power on. Blue LED indicates lamp operation. Lamps operate on 110-230V single‐phase power supply. Alternately, 110V power supply may be used to directly  power the UVC ballast(s). Be sure to wire the interlock door switch which interrupts power to the UVC light; see Ballast Supply Cable section.

WARNING
Potential Mold Spore Release. Application of UVC lamps to existing mold growth can cause respiratory irritation and allergic symptoms. Do not use UVC lamps where active mold growth exists. Remove active mold growth from surfaces prior to operation of UVC lamps.

NOTICE
Potential odor emissions. Odors may be present when some materials are exposed to UV light. These materials may include Technicoated or ECoated Coils. Other materials may include chemicals, solvents, polymers and organic materials. Some occupants may notice irritation or discomfort. If odors are present, the UV Lights should be turned off and fresh air should be introduced into the occupied space immediately. Contact your Independent Lennox Dealer.

CAUTION
Potential Risk of Degradation of Materials. Potential of degraded wire insulation may cause human injury through electrical shock. UVC light may damage plastics and rubber materials. May cause fabric discoloration. Avoid UVC light exposure to plastic drain pans, wire insulation, flex duct or other plastic/rubber components. Before installation, confirm that any corrosion‐resistant coating (if applied to the coil) will not be negatively impacted by the UVC light exposure.
