1. Before installing the
damage.
2. During handling and installation, take care to protect the honeycomb core of
the photo-catalytic module. The titanium-aluminum core is very fragile and
easily damaged.
3. Do not install insulation within 3 inches (75 mm) of the ultraviolet UVC lamps.
4. Access for service is required when mounting the
or behind walls.
5. Do not install in such a manner that the interior photo-catalytic module may
fall from an elevated position, and cause injury to people or equipment below.
1. Unscrew the two locking knobs and remove the inner module from the outer
case.
2. Take care not to bend or distort the outer metal enclosure.
3. Ensure the unit is positioned so that the inlet, or return, air enters the side
containing the MERV-11 electrostatic filter. (Fig. 1)
4. Mount the outer case to the support plenum. CAUTION: Use a screw length
that will not penetrate the inside module containing the photo-catalytic module and MERV-11 electrostatic filter. There is only 1/2 inch of clearance
between the outer case and inner module.
5. In the event the foot print of the air handler is larger or smaller than the outer
metal enclosure of the
fabricated from 18 ga. sheet metal. (Fig. 2)
6. Tape all seams between the air handler and the outlet side of the
to ensure there can be no air bypassing the system.
7. Attach the air handler to the outlet side of the
drilling sheet metal screws.
8. Slide the inner module into the outer case, and secure locking knobs finger
tight only. Ensure the inner module can slide freely in and out of the outer
case.
9. Plug the power cord into any 120 VAC outlet, and check both sight ports to
ensure both lamps are illuminated. The ultraviolet lamps must remain on at
all times.
10. Check the
sequence for 15 seconds. The FILTER light should then turn flashing green,
and the LAMP light a steady green.
11. Set the HVAC fan to operate for at least 30 minutes every hour. If air quality
problems persist after one week, increase the fan operating time by 5 minute
intervals, until suitable air quality is achieved.

2. Reactive Catalyst - destroys VOC’s, toxic chemicals and odors
3. UVC Germicidal Light - kills germs, viruses and bacteria on contact
4. Negative Ions and Activated Oxygen - keep air fresh and clean
Air purification and sterilization occur whenever the HVAC system fan is operating.
The ultraviolet UVC lamps are always on. They continuously clean and reactivate the
catalyst by burning off surface impurities during periods of non-use, or no airflow.
Do not attempt to clean the photo-catalytic honeycomb core with cleaning solutions.

per day, to remove toxic materials from an indoor environment. For individuals who
may be sensitive to mold spores, dust mites or chemicals, or have respiratory
problems such as asthma, emphysema and chronic allergies, the operating time
should be extended to 40 minutes or more per hour. The actual time of operation
depends on many factors, including the level of ambient pollution or pollen levels,
and individual sensitivity to allergens.
It is recommended that a programmable thermostat be used. These can be set to
provide continuous air circulation, and thus air purification, even when the HVAC
system is not calling for heating or cooling.
In the event an existing thermostat does not have the capability to operate the fan
independently, it is recommended that an AirCycler be installed. An AirCycler
is a device that is wired in parallel with existing thermostat wiring, and can be
programmed to turn on the HVAC system fan for any desired time interval. A builtin memory chip tracks the time that a fan operates every hour, and energizes the
fan only if normal requirements for heating and air conditioning have not cycled the
fan unit long enough to meet pre-determined air purification requirements.
An AirCycler may be purchased from the following sources:
• Your local HVAC wholesaler or contractor
• Shelter Supply, Lakeville, MN (1-800-762-8399)
• www.AirCycler.com

1. Never look into a burning ultraviolet lamp without proper eye protection, as
severe eye damage may result.
2. Always unplug the power cord from the unit when changing the filter or ultraviolet UVC lamps.
3. Do not attempt to clean the photo-catalytic honeycomb core with cleaning
solutions. The catalyst is constantly radiated by short wave ultraviolet UVC
light during operation, and is self-cleaning.
