Safety Instructions:

WARNING!

• UV light in operation. Disconnect unit from power supply before servicing. Failure to follow warnings may result in severe eye damage.
• Unit should be mounted at least 24 inches from the heat exchanger or heating element. Placing the photocatalytic cell too close to the heating element can cause the photocatalytic matrix to combust.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment may have a grounding type plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact an HVAC professional to install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Principles of Operation
CASPR PRO uses Natural Catalytic Conversion (NCC) to generate safe, low levels of hydrogen peroxide. NCC technology replicates natural purifying processes by using a high intensity light to activate a proprietary metal catalytic coating, converting water vapor into hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidizer inactivating surface and air pathogens. It can compromise cellular integrity by disrupting cell walls, or internal molecular structures, rendering contaminants harmless.

Electrical Requirement

All CASPR Pro duct mounted units run on DC 24V. Each unit comes with a power adapter that will take AC 100-240V. We recommend locating the unit within 6 ft. of a standard 120V Grounded outlet to plug in directly. Long term use on an extension cord is not recommended due to safety considerations.
If an outlet is not available within 6 feet of the instillation location, you may hardwire the unit into the HVAC system using a licensed HVAC professional.

Hard-Wiring Requirement
Permanent wiring of the unit into your HVAC system may be completed using a hardwire assembly (sold separately) and should be done by a licensed HVAC Installer or Electrical Contractor only.

• For 110V or 220V Applications:
  Black = L1, White = Neutral, Green = Ground

• For International Applications:
  Brown = L1, Blue = L2, Green/Yellow = Ground

If DC 24V is available, splice the wire between the brick and the cell housing to wire directly to the unit circumventing the power brick.
If the voltage is higher than AC 120-240V, you will need a transformer that converts your supply voltage to DC 24V eliminating the power brick.
When hardwiring any of these units please be mindful of the Maximum Amp draw that your power supply transformer can handle to prevent damage (Equation: Power Supply Transformer Amps / CASPR Volts = Maximum Amp Load).

Installation Requirement

1. Unit should be installed downstream of the air handler in the HVAC system.*
   **Additional HVAC units may be installed in the Return Plenum for added protection and to keep the internal parts clean.

2.  The duct work around the installation area should be cleaned and dry to insure proper adhesion of the gasket materials and any tape used.

3. One-two 4” circular openings will need to be cut into the existing duct work to install the unit properly. (2-for CASPR Pro 5000; 1-CASPR Pro 400, 1000, 2500).

Orientation and Airflow

When installing the CASPR Pro 5000, make sure the airflow moves through the NCC cells as indicated by the blue arrow.
Make sure, when installing several units at once, that they are staggered to minimize overlap of NCC cells and maximize airflow.

When installing the CASPR Pro 400, 1000, and 2500 make sure the airflow moves through the NCC cells as indicated by the blue arrow.
Make sure, when installing several units at once, that they are staggered to minimize overlap of NCC cells and maximize airflow.

Installation Instructions

Diagrams are representative of the CASPR Pro 400, 1000, and 2500. The steps are the same for the CASPR Pro 5000 with slight variations in orientation and number of holes. Please refer to the airflow and orientation section above for proper installation of all models.

1. Find a suitable location to mount your Unit.
2. If necessary, cut away insulation for your plate to adhere to the duct.
3. Using the Adhesive Mounting Bracket,trace the hole location onto the duct. Keep in mind the CASPR Pro 5000 orientation before cutting (Refer to orientation and airflow above).
4. Use the Hole Saw and Drill to cut out the marked hole.

Alternative Cutting Method

1. Using the Adhesive Mounting Bracket, trace the hole location onto the duct.
   Keep in mind the CASPR Pro 5000 orientation before cutting (Refer to orientation and airflow above).

2. Drill holes around the outside edges of the previously marked hole but inside the outer holes of the Adhesive Mounting Bracket.

3. Use the Tin Snips to cut out the space around the marked hole.

4. Remove the plastic backing on your Adhesive Mounting Bracket.

5. Press the Adhesive Mounting Bracket onto the duct. Secure with the (8 Self-Tapping Screws.

6. Remove the packing foam from the NCC Cell
   DO NOT TOUCH BULB WITH BARE HANDS

7. Connect the Cell to the Ballast Housing using the (2) Cell Mounting Screws provided. Repeat this step if you have a double cell unit.

8. Place the unit and cell through the opening and align the four studs with the four holes in the Ballast Housing.
   Secure the unit with the (4) Flange Nuts until it is flush with the duct.
   MAKE SURE THE AIRFLOW MOVES THROUGH THE NCC CELL (Refer to orientation and airflow above).

9. Plug the Power Cable into the receptacle or have a Licensed Electrician or HVAC Installer hard wire the unit directly into the HVAC system.

Hardwire Instructions

If you plan to Hardwire your CASPR Pro unit directly into the electrical supply you may do so using the hardwire power assembly (sold separately) which accepts AC 120-277V (1.8 A) and outputs DC 24V (2.5 A).

1. Place the hardwire assembly at the bottom of the CASPR Unit power supply and attach as demonstrated in the figures below.
2. Once the assembly is connected to the unit, fasten the two screws to secure the assembly and the CASPR device together.
3. Run an 18-gauge 2-wire cord through the wire outlet (left image below) and to connect the power supply to the transformer (right image below).
   Here, red represents AC/L and black represent AC/N. Note that the male connector is already wired into the transformer.

Once the unit is connected to the proper power supply and your unit is running you have successfully connected the hardwired power supply.

Indicator Lights

• Unit Power – Red light is ON.
• Cell Power – Red light is ON.
  • Red light ON – Bulbs are on.
  • Red light OFF – bulb has burned out and needs to be replaced. Double units have one light for each lamp.

NOTE: THIS MODEL IS NOT WIFI ENABLED;
The Wi-Fi indicator light will not function

Maintenance

Your CASPR Pro unit requires no periodic maintenance beyond normal replacement of the NCC cells and bulbs every 18-24 months. We recommend the replacement of the NCC cells and bulbs, even if the bulb appears to be operating normally.
The bulb operation indicator on the face of the unit will glow when the bulb is in use. If the indicator does not glow and the unit has power, the NCC cell and bulb should be replaced.

Disposal of the NCC Cell
Please do not throw the used NCC Cells or bulbs in the garbage.
The high intensity bulb used in the CASPR Pro unit contains a very small amount of mercury. Contact your local Waste Management Center for a proper disposal procedure.

Changing the NCC Cell

1. Remove the Power Cable from the receptacle or ensure the unit isn’t powered.
2. Remove the (4) Flange Nuts from the Unit Cover and Remove the Unit Cover and NCC Cell.
3. Remove the (2) Screws holding the NCC Cell in place and remove the NCC Cell from the Unit Cover.
4. Remove the packing foam from the new NCC Cell
5. Exchange the Old NCC Cell with the new NCC Cell and replace the (2) Screws that hold it in place.
6. Replace the Cover and NCC Cell in the duct and secure with the (4) Flange Nuts. MAKE SURE THE AIRFLOW MOVES THROUGH THE NCC CELL (Refer to orientation and airflow above).
7. Place the Power Cable back into the receptacle or repower your unit.
