The UV-12C,18C,28C,12HPC,18HPC, and 28HPC units are equipped with a circuit board to monitor the operation
of the UV lamp; it indicates the operation of the lamp through an LED indicator light mounted on the cover of the
unit. The circuit board indicates good operation of the lamp by a continuous “GREEN” color on the LED light.
After 8,320 hours of lamp operation, the circuit board indicates the elapsed time of lamp operation by a continuous
“YELLOW” color on the LED light and the internal alarm will beep every 15 minutes. After 9,000 hours of lamp
operation, the circuit board indicates the elapsed time of lamp operation by a continuous “RED” color on the LED
light and the internal alarm will beep every 5 minutes. The board also checks if the UV lamp is burned out. If the
lamp is burned out, the circuit board will indicate this by a continuous “RED” color on the LED and the internal
alarm will beep every 5 minutes.
WARNING: Before installing or servicing a humidifier, air filter, heat system, or this unit, etc., always turn all power
OFF and have unit unplugged. Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death. Never expose eyes or skin to
direct UVC light from any source.
WARNING: To prevent water damage or electric shock, do not mount unit under a humidifier.
WARNING: Designed for a closed duct system. Do not mount near a supply or a return air opening.
WARNING: This product is designed for indoor installation only (i.e. attics, crawl spaces, basements, etc.). For
use on gas fired, oil fired, electric and split system heat pump forced air systems*. This product is NOT designed
to be mounted outside on gas fired or heat pump packaged units**.
*Split system heat pumps are systems where the air handler and the air conditioning compressor are separate units.
**Packaged units are systems where the air handler and the air conditioning compressor are built together and are installed outside of the building

1. Locate a suitable location for the unit downstream from the ‘A’ coil in the supply plenum or in the return plenum;
preferably downstream from the air filter. For optimum “cleaning” effect on the ‘A’ coil, mount the unit in the supply
plenum as close as possible to the ‘A’ coil. (See Figure 1)

IF YOU HAVE METAL DUCT:
a. Apply supplied wet and stick mounting template to air duct
in either a vertical or horizontal position as shown in Figure
2.
b. Drill 1/8” diameter mounting holes at positions indicated on
template.
c. Cut out the marked openings on the template. (Refer to
template as shown in Figure 2)
d. Remove the paper template from the duct.
IF YOU HAVE DUCT BOARD:
a. Mount the supplied metal mounting plate onto the duct with
duct tape in either a vertical or horizontal position (See Figure 2 & 3)
b. Bend tabs outward as shown in figure 4.
c. Using a knife or blade, cut out a rectangle opening in the duct using the mounting plate as a template. (See
Figure 5)
d. Remove the cut piece of duct. (See Figure 6)
e. Bend both tabs down and through duct at first bend point. (See Figures 7& 8)
f. Bend both tabs at the second bend point up or down to pinch the duct material and grip the duct material.
(See Figures 9 & 10)
g. Using a screwdriver or pointed object, locate mounting holes by poking holes through the duct tape. (See
Figure 11)
