  3. Equipment Damage Hazard. Ultraviolet light can cause a color shift or surface degradation and sometimes structural degradation of non-metallic components. The select mounting location that prevents exposure to plastic flexible duct components, polyurethane foam insulation material, rubber hoses, wire insulations, etc. If mounting options are limited, items above should be protected with ultraviolet-resistant materials such as aluminum foil, aluminum duct tape, or metallic shields.
  4. Electrical shock hazards from 24 volts or 120/277 VAC may cause serious injury or death. 5 Follow Proper Disposal Techniques for UV lamps (pg.3) 6 Wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling lamps.

  2. Mounting shall be such that all surfaces in the duct where appliance forms parts of the duct shall be made of metal.
  3. All wiring within adjacent heating and air conditioning equipment, for example, shall be shaded from direct line-of-sight from the UV bulb or shall be UV-rated.

MOUNTING LOCATIONS

  1. Install the lamp where you have easy access.
  2. Drilling is not required for mounting over or around the coil exterior. Before installation under A-coil make sure before drilling into equipment that there is nothing in the way that would be damaged. Z ­bracket to be clipped at EZ bend to enable mount of the lamp under A-coil
  3. The lamp should be installed a minimum of 2-3 inches, maximum 36 inches away from the coil or pan surface.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the unit does not work, check the following:
Electrical Supply/Wiring– Verify that the electrical service is operating correctly.
Ballast– If the lamp still is not illuminating check the wiring to the ballast. If the ballast is wired properly and the lamp still does not illuminate, replace the ballast. With a fully electronic ballast, there is no resistance testing.
Transformer –If a transformer is employed to provide power to the unit (not provided by Second Wind), it should be tested in accordance with instructions provided with the unit when installed.
Lamp –Verify that the lamp is not broken and is properly seated in the lamp connector. To check this, follow the steps in the ‘Lamp Replacement’ section with one exception: you should not remove and replace the lamp. If the lamp is broken read the `Lamp Disposal’ section of this manual.
