Product Usage Instructions
-
Step 1: Before installing the Scorpion HX15, ensure that the power is turned off or all power is disconnected for servicing. This is important to protect eyes from UV light.
-
Step 2: Determine the optimal mounting location inside the air system. Consider a location that allows the Scorpion UVC LED light to shine on the greatest surface area of the coil.
-
Step 3: Choose one of the following placement options for the Scorpion LED:
a) Figure 1.1: Single Scorpion installed inside the coil
b) Figure 1.2: Single Scorpion installed above the coil
c) Figure 1.3: Single Scorpion installed inside the coil and a second inside each opening of the W coil
d) Figure 1.4: Single Scorpion installed above the coil -
Option 1: Scorpion installed inside the coil using the integrated magnet
-
Step 1: Confirm power is off to the system. Remove the access panel to the air handler.
-
Step 2: Remove the A panel on the evaporator coil to gain access to the center of the coil.
-
Step 3: Using the Scorpion’s integrated magnet, attach the Scorpion to the metal A panel on the far side of the evaporator coil. For a W or N shaped coil, install a second Scorpion inside the second section of coil.
-
Step 4: Run the wires down the cabinet, cut a small access hole for the wires if one does not exist.
-
Step 5: Replace the A panel on the evaporator coil that was previously removed.
-
Option 3: Scorpion installed above the coil
-
Step 1: Confirm power is off to the system. Remove the access panel to the air handler.
-
Step 2: Using either the integrated magnet or supplied hardware, secure the Scorpion to the side wall of the unit above the coil.
-
Wiring Directions:
-
Step 1: Connect the Scorpion to 110-277VAC power using the white (neutral) and black (hot) wires. The Scorpion HX15 can be wired to 110-277VAC input and connected to the door interlock switch so the Scorpion powers down if the door/access panel is open. Wire the Scorpion to continuous power, do not connect to the blower relay.
-
Important: Some materials inside the air system (including filter media, flex duct, wiring, etc.) may not be UV light resistant. Use reflective tape to cover these components.

WARNING : PROTECT EYES FROM UV LIGHT. TURN OFF UNIT OR DISCONNECT ALL
POWER BEFORE SERVICING.
Before installing the Scorpion HX15, it is necessary to determine the optimal
mounting location inside the air system. Consider an installation location
that will allow the Scorpion UVC LED light to shine on the greatest surface
area of the coil. For enhanced anti-microbial effect, multiple Scorpion UVC
LED lights can be installed in the system. Below are various placement options
for the Scorpion LED.
MOUNTING DIRECTIONS
OPTION 1: Scorpion installed inside the coil using the integrated magnet
- STEP 1: Confirm power is off to the system. Remove the access panel to the air handler.
- STEP 2: Remove the “A” panel on the evaporator coil to gain access to the center of the coil.
- STEP 3: Using the Scorpion’s integrated magnet, attach the Scorpion to the metal “A” panel on the far side of the evaporator coil. For a “W” or “N” shaped coil, install a second Scorpion inside the second section of the coil. See the example image in
- Figure 1.4. STEP 4: Run the wires down the cabinet, cut a small access hole for the wires if one does not exist.
- STEP 5: Replace the “A” panel on the evaporator coil that was previously removed.
OPTION 2: Scorpion installed inside the coil using the provided hardware
- STEP 1: Confirm power is off to the system. Remove the access panel to the air handler.
- STEP 2: Drill a 1 ¼” hole in the “A” plate of the evaporator.
- STEP 3: Insert the supplied grommet into the hole drilled into the “A” plate.
- STEP 3: Insert the LED bulb in the grommet which is placed inside of the drilled 1 ¼” opening.
- STEP 4: Secure the Scorpion to the “A” plate using the provided hardware.
For a “W” or “N” shaped coil, install a second Scorpion inside the second section of the coil after drilling the 1 ¼” hole in the second panel, inserting the grommet, and securing the Scorpion. See the example image in Figure 1.4.
OPTION 3: Scorpion installed above the coil
- STEP 1: Confirm power is off to the system. Remove the access panel to the air handler.
- STEP 2: Using either the integrated magnet or supplied hardware, secure the Scorpion to the side wall of the unit above the coil. See Figure 1.2 for example.
WIRING DIRECTIONS
-
STEP 1: Connect the Scorpion to 110-277VAC power using the white (neutral) and black (hot) wires. The Scorpion HX15 can be wired to 110-277VAC input and connected to the door interlock switch so the Scorpion powers down if the
-
door/access panel is open. See Figure 1.5 below for the wiring diagram. Wire the Scorpion to continuous power, do not connect to the blower relay. See Step 2 for option modes to cycle the Scorpion with the fan.
-
STEP 2: Set the Scorpion power switch to “ON” for constant run mode. Set the power switch to “CYCLE” to run only when the fan is running and The integrated air flow sensor activates the Scorpion to power on. (The cycle mode is recommended for longer service life for most applications.)
-
STEP 3: Replace the access panel to the unit.
-
STEP 4: Place the provided WARNING/INSTALL DATE sticker on the exterior of the unit.
-
STEP 5: Add the date of installation using permanent marker on the sticker.
-
STEP 6: Restore power to the unit.
-
STEP 7: Register the Scorpion’s warranty at www.nucalgon.com.scorpionregistration
IMPORTANT!
- Some materials inside the air system (including filter media, flex duct, wiring etc.) may not be UV light resistant.
- Use reflective tape to cover these components.
