PARTS*
*Parts included with your
kit will vary depending on the model.
STEP 1: UV Lamp Installation
Surface Mount
- Determine the optimal position for placement of the UV lamp.
- Use a utility knife to cut a slit in the insulation on the interior surface.
- Place the magnetic “Z” bracket directly on the metal surface or remove the magnet and hard-mount the bracket using the self-tapping screws provided. Use foil tape to close the cut in the insulation.
- Use plastic quick-nuts to attach the UV lamp to the “Z” bracket as shown.
Important: some materials inside the air system (including filter media, flex duct, wiring, etc.) may not be UV light resistant. Use the optional UV shield (part #TUVSHIELD-LPC) or cover the materials with reflective tape.
Coil A-Plate or Duct Mount
- Snap the “Z” bracket apart by bending.
- Drill a 1” hole in the “A”-plate or duct then attach the smaller piece of the bracket using the self-tapping screws.
- Insert the UV lamp into the hole then use the plastic quick-nuts to attach the UV lamp to the “Z” bracket as shown.
STEP 2: Power Supply Installation
IMPORTANT! Check which power supply is included with your germicidal UV light 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 to connect to power.
The low-voltage power supply connects to the air system’s 24 VAC transformer (or add a 24 VAC transformer as needed).
Line-voltage power supplies connect directly to 120-277 VAC power.
Some line-voltage power supplies can support more than one UV lamp. They will come with two or more blue cables.
IMPORTANT! Must be wired to constant power – do not connect to blower
relay.
IMPORTANT!
Systems with high 24 VAC loads may require the installation of a separate 24
VAC transformer to power the UV light.
Always use a separate 24 VAC transformer with “communicating” air systems.
Draws 16 VA, may need to do load calculation: Volts under load X Amps under
load.
STEP 3: Lamp Connection
Connect lamp: make sure the flanges are aligned and then push the connectors
firmly together. A tight connection ensures a proper water-resistant seal.
STEP 4: UV Warning Sticker & Safety Sight Glass
- Find a suitable location on the outside of the duct-work near the UV Lamp installation and apply the Fresh-Aire UV® warning/lamp replacement sticker
- Drill a ½” hole through the orange circle on the sticker. Press the UV safety viewport into the hole.
- Turn on the power and use the sight glass to confirm that the UV Lamp is operating.
Lamp Replacement
Germicidal UV lamps need to be replaced periodically. Systems will include
one-year (TUVL-1xx), or two-year (TUVL-2xx) UVC lamps.
Note: UV lamps will continue to emit visible light but they lose
germicidal effectiveness over time. One-year and two-year lamps are
interchangeable, you can upgrade to a two-year lamp with your existing power
supply.
