General

The Healthy Climate® germicidal light emits ultraviolet (UVC) energy that has been proven effective in reducing microbial life forms (viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and molds) in the air.
UVC germicidal lamps greatly reduce the growth and pro­liferation of mold and other bio-aerosols (bacteria and vi­ruses) on illuminated surfaces.
Germicidal lamps are NOT intended to be used for remov­al of active mold growth. Existing mold growth must be ap­propriately removed PRIOR to installation of the germicid­al lamp.
Model C1UVCL10B-1- is covered by this document. Two C1UVCL10B-1 must be ordered for a complete installa­tion.

Application

The Healthy Climate® UVC light is specifically designed for the Lennox rooftop models: LCH242‐360 and LGH242-360. In addition, the light is equipped with shields to focus the UVC light on the coil surface where it is needed and reduce the exposure of light on other components and access panels for improved safety and overall effective­ness.
Enhanced rapid start ballast provides UVC lamp operation at a full range of operating conditions. Lamps operate on 110‐230VAC single-phase power supply. Step-down transformers are installed for 460VAC and 575VAC roof­top units. Alternately, a 110VAC power supply may be used to directly power the UVC ballast(s).

Installation

WARNING

  • Electric shock hazard.
  • Can cause injury or death.
  • Disconnect all remote power supplies before opening any unit access panels.
  • Unit may have multiple power supplies. Do not operate without access panels in place.

UVC exposure protection
The UVC light is equipped with a unique directional shield to focus the UVC light on the coil surface and drain pan where it is needed and reduce the exposure of light on oth­er components such as wiring, plastic parts etc. For shield­ing of electrical wiring in the rooftop unit, black convoluted tubing is included with the kit. However, if there is any con­cern, aluminum foil tape can also be used to cover up any exposed component.
WARNING Potential Risk of Fire.
Dust, lint and other debris may cause fire if allowed to come in contact with illuminated UVC lamp.
Remove any dust, lint or other debris from lamps and surrounding duct system.
CAUTION Sharp Edges Hazard.
Equipment sharp edges can cause injury. Use pro­tective gloves when grasping equipment edges.

Installation of UVC lamps
The lamps for the UVC light assembly come attached with a wire tie on top back side of UVC light assemblies inside of a foam sleeve (see figure 2).

  1. Disconnect power to the rooftop unit before installing or servicing the UVC light.

  2. Open the rooftop unit’s blower access door.

  3. Disconnect the UVC cable quick connects (pink/yel­low) located at the front right of the blower assembly.(see figure 3).
