ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The Sanuvair® M8 is a modular UV air purifier that can be configured for a
range of purposes.

please call SANUVOX at 1-888-726-8869.
COMPONENTS
The Core
At its core, air enters the unit through the inlet filters at the front,
tinside the UV chamber and is expelled purified at the outlet.
The unit is powered via a standard C13 power cord into a 115V outlet. An ON/OFF button beside the power receptacle enables turning the unit on. Two internal limit switches prevent the unit from starting if the innermost filter is not correctly installed and the lamp hatch is not properly closed. On the front of the unit a fan speed selector enables to switch between LO – MED – HI.
By default, the Sanuvair® M8 core includes a primary MERV-9 prefilter (FTR-19) and a primary UV 16″ ‘J’ lamp (LMPHGJ160, purple end caps), with the provision for an additional filter and lamp.

OPERATION
How to Operate your Product
The Sanuvair® M8 operates automatically: once it’s installed and plugged in,
simply press the power button to turn on.
To access the filters and lamps, open the respective service doors on the
side. The lamp access interlock switch will stop the unit if tripped. The
filter interlock switch can also stop the unit if tripped, by pulling the
filter out.
Depending on your subkit selection, your M8 will operate slightly differently.
Germicidal (FGCD) and Odor Reduction (FODO): No additional steps required.
Odor Control for Garbage Rooms (FOZD): Wait approximately 1-2 minutes for the
startup phase to be completed, and for the OZD detector to calibrate. The
second lamp should turn on (with the appropriate LED on the front plate).
Odor Control for Smoke Rooms (FVOC): Wait approximately 5 minutes for the
startup phase to be completed, and for the VOC detector to calibrate. Use a
gas lighter (no flame), near the detector, which should trigger it. The second
lamp should turn on (with the appropriate LED on the front plate).
How to Select Speed
The Sanuvair® M8 features three speed settings:
The speed selector switch is located on the front of the unit, on the
electronics bay service door.
It is recommended that the unit be operated at its highest speed setting to
maximize the purification benefits.
LO| Quiet operation and reduced filtration. Recommended when the room is
occupied.
---|---
MED| Balanced performance between noise and filtration.
HI| Loudest ventilation for maximum filtration. Recommended when the
room is empty.
MAINTENANCE
How to Replace Lamp
Replace UVC lamp (purple end caps) every 2 years. For Odor Reduction (FODO)
and Odor Control (FOZD and FVOC), replace UV lamps (yellow or blue end caps)
every year for optimal odor reduction. Replacing lamp on the Sanuvair® M8 is
quick and easy. Simply turn off the power source, open the lamp access door,
remove and dispose of old lamp, replace with new Sanuvox branded UV lamp,
close the lamp access door and turn power source back on. See below for
detailed step by step instructions.
CAUTION: In order to avoid reduced performance of lamp, do not touch lamp glass without gloves.
Step by Step Lamp Replacement
-
To replace a lamp, unfasten the lamp hatch locks using a screwdriver and open it.

How to Clean your Product
Maintenance of the unit should be performed at the regular intervals to keep
the benefits of the UV air purifier.
For optimal performance, the lamp should be kept free of dust and residue
deposit. Clean when necessary with mild soap or alcohol. Always spot test the
cleaner to make sure it does not damage the surface.
Once a year or as needed, clean the interior of the unit (wall and motor
plate), with mild non-abrasive soap. It is recommended to use products that
are environmentally friendly.
CAUTION: Under no circumstance should water be sprayed or splashed onto the product.
STORAGE
The Sanuvair® M8 unit is an installation that 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.

Step by step Test Procedure A
-
Turn the unit OFF and ON. Wait for the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) detector to calibrate (5 min).
-
Use a gas lighter near the VOC detector (no flame).
Lamp and ballast LED #2 should turn ON. -
If ballast LED #2 is still OFF, replace ballast.
If lamp LED # 2 is still OFF, test lamp by swapping with Lamp #1. If Lamp was defective, replace lamp.
If both LED (lamp and ballast #2) are still OFF after replacing, adjust sensitivity of the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) detector: Attach alligator clips to the positive and neutral post on the electronic card. Use a screwdrive and adjust the screw, which will increase or diminish the voltage (factory set at 3.0 VDC). The higher the voltage, the quicker the detector reacts. -
