ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Congratulations on the purchase of the P900. Sanuvox systems are the most advanced air purification systems available, that can help reduce biological and chemical contaminants that circulate throughout the building. Sanuvox systems have been tested by universities, in hospitals and by independant third party laboratories.

The P900 is designed to purify the air of a small room (up to 900 cubic feet), helping reduce chemical and biological contaminants.
The unit is designed for small homes and apartments, and can be used in commercial areas.
For information or recommendations on how to size your specific application, please call SANUVOX at 1-888-726-8869.

COMPONENTS

How it Works
Foul air enters the P900 parallel to the UV ‘J’ lamp, thus increasing contact time with the UV light. First, the air goes through an inlet filter that captures particles. After, the UV lamp attacks biological contaminants. Finally, the purifed air circulates through the home.

ULTRAVIOLETS
Ultraviolet wavelengths (UV) emitted by Sanuvox units and systems are identical to ultraviolets produced by the sun. UVC damage nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) of microorganisms, which inactivates them. Unlike conventional UV lamps on the market,Sanuvox units and systems use a patented process that delivers a maximum dose of UV to the moving air stream or surfaces.

CAUTION: Never expose eyes or skin to an operating UV lamp. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation is associated with different types of skin cancer, sunburn, accelerated skin aging, as well as cataracts and other eye diseases. The severity of the effect depends on the wavelength, intensity, and duration of exposure.

ELECTRICAL RATINGS, POWER CONSUMPTION & AVAILABLE VOLTAGE
The P900 has a power consumption of 33W. The product is rated at 120V to 240V, and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
