The PHI CELL

The PHI CELL Advanced Oxidation Systems is designed to help eliminate sick building
syndrome risks by reducing odors, air pollutants, and cold and virus causing germs
through a patent pending Photohydroionization® (PHI) process. The PHI Cells are
contained within the APS unit. When the APS system is in operation, the PHI Cell uses
an Advanced Oxidation Process to reduce airborne contaminants.

Why use Photohydroionization?

Germicidal UV light rays have been
used for decades by the medical
industry as a method for destroying
micro-organisms (germs, viruses,
bacteria). Germicidal UV light is
effective in reducing airborne micro­organisms that pass through the light
rays. However, germicidal UV light has
little to no effect on gases, vapors or
odors.

Ozone, on the other hand, is very
effective on gases, vapors and odors.
However, too much ozone can be a
health hazard, and traditional methods
of producing ozone (i.e., corona
discharge) have maintenance problems
and create nitric acid and nitric oxides.
The combination of ozone (O3) and UV
light, in the presence of the PHI catalyst,
creates the Advanced Oxidation
reaction. This patent pending reaction
chamber creates ozone gas and
destroys it within the same chamber.
This process, in combination with the

which germicidal light can kill micro­organisms, it also produces super oxide
ions and hydro-peroxides. These
products of Advanced Oxidation further
attack the micro-organisms as well as
significantly reducing odors and VOC’s.
The PHI reaction cell has the added
benefit of producing safe, low levels of
ozone as a by-product of the PHI cell.
This low level ozone further cleanses
the air as it travels through the
ductwork. By engineering the proper
light wavelength and a dual function, no
maintenance PHI Cell, the manufacturer
has effectively designed a system that
will not exceed the recommended
Federal Safety Limits for ozone (0.04
ppm) in an occupied room.

With the PHI CELL, most gases and
odors are abated while micro-organisms
can be reduced by as much as 90%,
and the room will have safe, low ozone
levels no greater than forest air, or air
after a thunderstorm, which gives the
room fresh, clean and odor-free air.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER: For outlet installation only,

type of power source. Improper installation could result in electrical shock or short.

never connect to an extension cord or other

1. Find a convenient wall outlet. Plug the unit into the outlet. Note: It is not
recommended to place the PIP unit into an outlet equipped with a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) device. If the GFCI is tripped, it will not be possible to reset
the outlet GFCI device (unless the PIP is physically removed from the outlet). In
installations requiring a GFCI circuit, it is recommended that the breaker box be
equipped with a GFCI breaker to protect the outlet circuit.

2. Turn off power at the breaker panel for the outlet (restore when installation is
complete).

3. Remove the PIP cover and install anti-theft screws (Note: as the wall material will
vary from installation to installation, the wall mounting security screws are not
provided). Please use the appropriate type of fasteners for the substrate
encountered in each installation location (2-1/2” long fasteners are recommended).

4. Fasten the security screws into the provided holes going through the back of the
unit. In wall installations with wood or metal studs you will need to locate which side
the stud is positioned on, and then use the corresponding holes in the unit (two
holes located to the left of center, or two holes located to the right of center).

5. Note: A light duty mounting option is included with the unit. This is for low traffic
areas such as storage rooms and similar areas that do not require an anti-theft type
of mounting.

• Locate the appropriate outlet and disconnect power to it at the breaker box.

• Remove the center screw from the outlet plate cover.

• Plug unit into the outlet (be sure outlet cover is still in place), and secure unit and

outlet plate to outlet using provided 6-32 X2” machine screw.
