FRESH-AIRE UV UV TUVL-215 Air Treatment System Instruction Manual

FRESH-AIRE UV UV TUVL-215 Air Treatment System Instruction Manual

APCO-ONE reduces odors (VOCs) and biological contaminants such as mold, bacteria, viruses, and allergens in indoor air. The system is installed in the duct work of the central air system or over the evaporator coil for coil disinfection.
The award-winning design of APCO-ONE uses a unique combination of UVC light and lifetime activated carbon cells to clean the air. APCO-ONE includes an LED indicator that changes color and/or flashes when the UV lamp needs to be changed or there is a system fault.

Installation Notes

APCO-ONE is primarily installed on the supply side duct just above the air system (upstream of a humidifier if there is one) but can also be installed on the return side if necessary.

Orient the unit so that the air flows past the UV Light first then into the carbon cells. Position the main unit so the UV light does not shine directly on non-uv-resistant materials (filters, humidifiers, flex duct, etc).
Ideally the UV light shines on the coil.

Duct Mounting

1. Select an appropriate location for APCOONE and apply the 4.25” x 4.25” decal template to the flat surface.

2. Cut a hole in the sheet metal or duct board as indicated by the decal template F .
   IMPORTANT! Remove and dispose of cut-out piece of material.

3. For sheet metal duct secure mounting plate with Self-tapping Screws E .*
   

4. Insert the Duct Mount Wing C into the duct.

5. Bend Duct Mount Wing fingers around the edges of the hole to secure mounting plate.
   

6. Use tape for duct board installations, avoid taping over gasket and latching openings.

• If the backing plate can’t be used install directly with 4 Self-tapping Screws E .
  

Connect to Power

1. See Electrical Configuration to connect Power Cord B by wiring directly to the air system’s 24 VAC terminals or use the transformer (120V, 208V, 240V to 24V) included D .
2. Timer is factory set to 2 years so there is no need to set timer for initial install.
   

Mount UV Lamp

1. Install lamp before connecting to power.
2. Insert UV lamp G onto threaded posts, align the pins and make a firm connection.
3. Fasten using Quick Nuts H .

Install the Power Head

1. With the lamp installed and the power unplugged install the Power Head onto the Duct board Mount.
   

2. Use your thumb to pull back on the spring-loaded latch and align the mounting hooks on the Power Head with matching slots on Duct board Mount, push in firmly then down to snap in place, then release the latch.
   

3. Plug in power and APCO-ONE will be operational

Lamp Replacement

Replace the UV lamp in APCO-ONE (model TUVL- 215) every 2 years. Note: UV lamps will continue to emit visible light but lose germicidal effectiveness over time.

CAUTION!
UV lamps contain small amounts of mercury – dispose of lamps in accordance with local environmental regulations. For more information visit www.lamprecycle.org Note: Use of replacement UV lamps other than TUVL- 215 voids warranty

Replacement Lamp Timer Set

1. With the Power Head in hand connect power without the lamp installed.
2. For lamp replacement hold the timer set button for 5 seconds to enter timer mode. The LED will flash purple once indicating timer mode.
3. Within 5 seconds press the timer set button once, twice or thrice. LEDs will flash 1, 2, or 3 times indicating numbers of years set.
   

Electrical Configuration

IMPORTANT
Before connecting to power determine if the transformer is needed. Turn off main power source before installation. Always wire according to local and national electrical codes.

IMPORTANT! Must be wired to constant power – do not connect to blower relay.

DIRECT TO HVAC PANEL
Power Cord B is connected directly to 18-32V constant power terminals in HVAC system control panel.

USE TRANSFORMER
Power Cord B wires are spliced to Transformer D 24V leads after Transformer has been connected to a high voltage source (see installation instructions included with transformer).
