    CAUTION: Unit is not a toy. Keep away from unsupervised children. Do not leave children unattended with the unit.

  6. DO NOT hang onto the UV unit or system.

  7. Some UV units or systems could be heavy: Make sure you have a minimum of 2 people to safely move or install these UV units or systems, and make sure you adopt the most ergonomic position possible (use UV unit or system handles, if applicable).
    CAUTION: Installing or maintaining heavy equipment, especially overhead, can cause back pain or other injuries.

  8. When installing or servicing an overhead UV unit or system, be careful not to fall off the stepladder. Furthermore, make sure the UV unit or system latches are always in place to prevent falling parts.
    CAUTION: Some parts of some UV units and systems may open suddenly if the UV unit or system is installed high up without its locks.

  9. Units that are obviously damaged must not be operated.

  10. CAUTION: When working on the UV unit or system,observe precautions on the literature, tags and labels attached to the UV unit or system, and all other safety precautions considered as best practices in the HVAC industry, if applicable.

  11. When applicable, local regulation may comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification requirements.
    The aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer agree to conform to these at his own expense.

  12. Follow all the safety instructions outlined in this document and respect all local and national codes applicable.

  13. All UV units or systems contain a UVC source. Damage to the housing or unintended use of the UV unit or system may result in harmful UVC leaks. UVC may, even in little doses, cause harm to the eyes and skin.

  14. Never expose eyes or skin to an operating UV lamp.
    Therefore, before installing or performing maintenance on the UV unit or system, TURN OFF AND DISCONNECT the UV unit or system from all power sources (there may be more than one switch to disconnect) and also disconnect the HVAC system, is applicable.

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

  1. To replace a lamp, unfasten the lamp hatch locks using a screwdriver and open it.

  2. Remove the new lamps from their packaging. Be sure to wear the cotton gloves (included) ensuring the lamp is free from fingerprints.

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.

ELECTRICAL RATINGS, POWER CONSUMPTION & AVAILABLE VOLTAGE

  2. Use a gas lighter near the VOC detector (no flame).
    Lamp and ballast LED #2 should turn ON.

  3. 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.
