Confirm you have access to the necessary power source for the product requirements (see unit or system label). If you have any questions regarding the installation instructions, call SANUVOX at 1-888-726-8869.

What’s included
The SANUVAIR® S100, a UV lamp and a basic installation kit.
The installation kit includes: a pair of cotton gloves, 4-40 screws (3), a AC/DC convertor, a power cord (US or EUR), an angled support bracket and a near-horizontal support bracket.

Versatile Installations
The SANUVAIR® S100 unit can be installed two ways: ceiling-mounted in a 24″ x 14″ area of a suspended ceiling at least 8″ deep OR simply wall-mounted.
Either way, make sure there is adequate clearance (at least 2 feet) for the door to swing down for maintenance or service.

Step by Step Setup & Installation – Ceiling-Mounted

1. Check installation location of the unit, so that there is at least 24″ from the wall in order to have good air circulation.
   Also make sure you have access to a 120 or 230 VAC input to power the unit.

2. Prepare unit for installation: Take the unit out of its box and install the support anchors required to hold the unit by screwing them directly it.
   A. Sliding door side : near-horizontal support bracket.
   B. Beveled side (mesh) : angled support bracket.
   Then lay the unit on a flat surface with the access doors facing up.

3. Prepare for UV lamp installation: open lamp packaging. Only after you have visually inspected the UV lamp should you break the security seal on the underside of the cardboard sleeve.

4. Carefully slide the UV lamp out from the cardboard sleeve. Be sure to wear the cotton gloves (included) guaranteeing a clean lamp free from fingerprints.
   NOTE: Fingerprints on the lamp will negatively impact the UV output of the lamp.

5. Install lamp: Open the unit by sliding its cover to gain access to the lamp location. Connect the lamp to the connector (only one way possible) and gently attach it to the lamp holder.
   NOTE: Lamp must be installed over the stopper.

6. Adjust the fan speed: While the unit cover is still open, you will have access to the speed controller. Depending on your needs, choose between “Hi”, “Med” or “Low” speeds.
   Once the lamp and filter are installed and the fan settings are adjusted to your liking, make sure to close the unit cover properly.

7. Prepare location for installation: Cut a 24″ x 14″ opening in a suspended ceiling tile to install the unit. In order to facilitate the work, remove 14″ lengthwise.

8. Make the following connections: Connect the power cable to the AC/DC convertor, then connect the elbow adapter to the unit. NOTE: Do not plug the unit into a power outlet until you have completed the installation. By now you should have connected only the unit, converter, and power cable together.

9. Pass the unit and its cable assembly through the ceiling (tilt it slightly to the side) and gently lean the device support anchors against the tile and the ceiling support.
   Make sure to position the unit so that the air outlet (open end) is at least 24″ from the wall, and that the unit cable assembly can reach a power outlet.

10. Replace the cut part of the suspended ceiling tile to hide the opening. Then, right up against the unit, install a 24″ ‘T’ bracket.
    Plug in the device: it will turn on automatically.

Step by Step Setup & Installation – Wall-Mounted

1. Check installation location of the unit, so that there is at least 24″ from the ceiling in order to have good air circulation.
   Also make sure you have access to a 120 or 230 VAC input to power the unit.

2. Prepare unit for installation: Take the unit out of its box and lay the unit on a flat surface with the access doors facing up.

3. Prepare for UV lamp installation: open lamp packaging. Only after you have visually inspected the UV lamp should you break the security seal on the underside of the cardboard sleeve.

4. Carefully slide the UV lamp out from the cardboard sleeve. Be sure to wear the cotton gloves (included) guaranteeing a clean lamp free from fingerprints.
   NOTE: Fingerprints on the lamp will negatively impact the UV output of the lamp.

5. Install lamp: Open the unit by sliding its cover to gain access to the lamp location. Connect the lamp to the connector (only one way possible) and gently attach it to the lamp holder.
   NOTE: Lamp must be installed over the stopper.

6. Adjust the fan speed: While the unit cover is still open, you will have access to the speed controller. Depending on your needs, choose between “Hi”, “Med” or “Low” speeds.
   Once the lamp and filter are installed and the fan settings are adjusted to your liking, make sure to close the unit cover properly.

7. Now, prepare location for installation: Mark wall and screw in support screw at proper height. Support screws should be at the same height, leveled and 3.5″ apart.
   Then, hang the unit on the wall on the support screw.

8. Connect the AC/DC convertor supply to the unit.

NOTE: Once connected, the unit will turn on automatically.
Your new SANUVAIR® S100 is now ready to operate so you can enjoy great air quality for you and your colleagues.

OPERATION

How to Operate your Product
If wired directly to a dedicated power source, the SANUVAIR® S100 will operate continuously. If wired in parallel with other devices, such as overhead lighting, the SANUVAIR® S100 will operate only when the circuit is energized. The internal fan circulates air through the device. Room air is drawn in through the aluminum filter and passes by the ultraviolet lamp. Then, the purified air is being exhausted. A safety switch is provided to stop operation if the cover is opened.
Do not hold down security switch when cover is open. The ultraviolet lamp will energize, which may cause injury to eyes and exposed skin. Never expose eyes or skin to direct UV light.

CAUTION: The suggested operating temperature range is 50°F to 115°F (10°C to 46°C). Operating the SANUVAIR® S100 outside this range will result in decreased performance.

MAINTENANCE

How to Replace the Lamp
Replacing the lamp on the SANUVAIR® S100 needs to be done periodically to maintain design specifications. The UV lamp can function for many years, but over time, the UV intensity does decreases. For best results, the UV lamp should be replaced every two years guaranteeing the highest performance.
CAUTION: TURN OFF AND DISCONNECT the unit before performing maintenance. In order to avoid reduced performance of the lamp, do not touch lamp glass without gloves.

Step by Step Lamp Replacement
Example for a ceiling-mounted unit. The same step by step process applies for a wall-mounted unit.

NOTE: The lamp can be replaced while the unit is installed on the ceiling or wall. Another option is to remove the unit from the ceiling or wall, and then replace the lamp with the unit lying on a flat surface with the access doors facing up. Besides, this option is preferable for a wall unit.

1. Unplug the unit, then open it by sliding down its cover to gain access to the lamp location.
   NOTE: Unit must be disconnected from the supply before replacing lamp.

2. Open the clamp. Disconnect the old UV lamp from the connector and remove the lamp from the unit.
   NOTE: UV lamps can be disposed/recycled after use, as any other fluorescent lamps. Contact and follow your local and national authorities’ specific instructions.

3. Prepare the new UV lamp: open lamp packaging. Only after you have visually inspected the UV lamp should you break the security seal on the underside of the cardboard sleeve.

4. Carefully slide the new UV lamp out from the cardboard sleeve. Be sure to wear the cotton gloves (included) guaranteeing a clean lamp free from fingerprints.
   NOTE: Fingerprints on the lamp will negatively impact the UV output of the lamp.

5. Connect the lamp to the connector (only one way possible) and gently attach it into the lamp clamp.
   NOTE: Lamp must be installed over the stopper.

6. Close the unit cover properly.

How to Clean your Product

There is very little maintenance to be done on the SANUVAIR® S100.
Periodic cleaning of the inlet filter may be performed. Filter media should be cleaned at least once every 6 months for optimal performance to be kept free of dust and residue deposit. Clean when necessary with mild soap. The lamp may be cleaned once a year with a microfiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Follow the same instructions and precautions as for lamp replacement. To clean the unit exterior, use a damp cloth with general purpose detergent. Always spot test the cleaner to make sure it does not damage the surface.

CAUTION: Under no circumstance should water be sprayed or splashed onto the product.

Step by Step Filter Cleaning
Example for a wall-mounted unit. The same step by step process applies for a ceiling-mounted unit.

NOTE : The filter can be removed for cleaning while the unit is installed on the ceiling or wall. Another option is to remove the unit from the ceiling or wall, and then access the filter with the unit lying on a flat surface with the access doors facing up. Besides, this option is preferable for a wall unit.

1. Unplug the unit, then open it by sliding its cover. Then, open the filter access door (the one with mesh) by pulling the side that is not perforated to gain access to the filter location.
   NOTE: Unit must be disconnected from the supply before servicing filter.
   CAUTION: When unit is wall-mounted, its cover may slide down if not properly locked on open. When you slide the unit cover up, make sure to push it up and toward the wall until it clips in place and stays up on its own.

2. Remove the filter and and clean it.
   NOTE: The filter can be washed with mild soap.

3. When filter is dry, reinstall it in the unit.

4. Close the filter door and the unit cover properly.
   NOTE: To unlock and slide down the unit cover when the unit is wall-mounted, pull the unit cover toward you and down. Make sure to close the unit cover for the unit to restart.

STORAGE
The SANUVAIR® S100 is a ceiling or wall-mounted unit working continuously and automatically and therefore, requires no specific storage.

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.

ELECTRICAL RATINGS, POWER CONSUMPTION & AVAILABLE VOLTAGE
The SANUVAIR® S100 has a power consumption of 25 Watts and requires a 12 VDC, 60 Hz, AC/DC convertor.
See product label to confirm power consumption of your specific unit or system.
