IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before installing the Trio 1200/2000 Healthy Home Air Purifi cation System, inspect for any signs of damage. During
handling and installation, take care to protect the catalytic honeycomb side of the product from physical damage, as
the aluminum-titanium core is very soft and can be easily damaged.

WARNING - Always unplug the power cord from the Trio 1200/2000 Healthy Home Air Purifi cation System

when changing the fi lter or UVC germicidal lamps. Never look into an illuminated ultraviolet lamp without
proper eye protection as severe damage to the eyes can result. This product is rated for standard ambient
air temperatures during heating and air-conditioning functions and not rated for elevated air temperatures
in excess of 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

Do not attempt to clean the catalytic honeycomb core with cleaning solutions. The catalyst is radiated with short
wave ultraviolet light during period of non-air fl ow and is self-cleaning. If there is build up blocking the catalytic cells,
sit the unit on end, on a fl at surface, with electrical enclosure facing up. Use low-pressure, compressed air to blow
the surface of the catalytic cells free of blockage.

Do not install insulation within 76MM or 3 inches of Luminaries.
Access for service is required when mounting above ceilings or behind walls.
Do not install in a position where the interior model can gravity fall from an elevated position and cause injury to

the people or equipment below.
Use a qualifi ed installer/technician when installing this system. Installation shall meet all applicable local/state codes.

OPERATION

The Trio 1200/2000 Healthy Home Purifi cation System installs in the air-inlet side of any heating and airconditioning
system up to fi ve tons in size. Only operation of the air-handler fan unit is required for air purifi cation and steriliza­tion to take place.

NOTE: The UVC germicidal lamps are wired to operate continuously. This feature allows the catalyst to burn off
surface impurities, cleaning and reactivating itself during periods of non-use or no airfl ow. The cost of operation is
less than .07 cents per day. See operating cost section.

The Trio 1200/2000 air purifi cation system combines three unique technologies to protect people against indoor air
pollutants. Photo catalytic technology (PCO) combined with high effi ciency electro-statically super charged MERV13
particulate fi lter and UVC germicidal light quickly reduces and eliminated toxic gas-phase chemicals, lung damaging
dust and airborne germs from the living environment.

Many new homes have smart programmable thermostats that allow for automatic operation of the air-handler fan
unit when there is no demand for heating or air conditioning. It is important that the TRIO 1200/2000 Healthy Home
Purifi cation System is operating at least 20-30 minutes per hour (24) hours per day to remove toxic materials from
the indoor environment.

The length of operation depends on the location of the home or offi ce in relation to point source pollution such as
refi neries, processing plants, automobile traffi c and areas that produce high levels of pollen. Individuals that are sen­sitive to mold spores, dust mites, chemicals or have respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic
allergies should extend the run time to (40) minutes or more per hour.

AIR CYCLES PER HOUR

(Based on 3000 sq. ft.)

Fan unit on for 10 minutes per hour Air cycled(1) ------- times per hour

Fan unit on for 15 minutes per hour Air cycled(1.3) ----- times per hour

Fan unit on for 20 minutes per hour Air cycled(1.75) ---- times per hour

Fan unit on for 30 minutes per hour Air cycled(2.62) ---- times per hour

AIR CYCLES PER DAY

NOTE:

Fan unit on for 10 minutes per hour Air cycled(24) ------ times per day

Fan unit on for 15 minutes per hour Air cycled(31) ------ times per day
Fan unit on for 20 minutes per hour Air cycled(42) ------ times per day
Fan unit on for 30 minutes per hour Air cycled(63) ------ times per day

NOTE: In the event, the existing thermostat does not have the capability to operate the air-handler fan unit
independently of a demand for heating or air-conditioning, it is highly recommended to install the Field Controls
Healthy Home System Control PLus (HHSC+) programmable ventilation system.

This device is simply wired in parallel with the existing thermostat and can be programmed to turn on the air
handler fan unit for any desired interval. A memory tracks the time the fan unit operates every hour and only
cycles the fan unit that hour if normal requirements for heating and air conditioning have not cycled the fan unit
long enough to meet air purifi cation requirements.

COST OF CONTINUOUS (24) HR PER DAY OPERATION PER MONTH

Electricity cost
per kilowatt hour .06 kw hr. .08 kw hr. .10 kw hr.

TRIO (32.25 kw hours)
cost per month $1.93 $2.58 $3.22

During periods where the fan unit is being operated for the sole purpose of air purifi cation, usually during
the spring and fall season when there is no requirement for heating or cooling, the cost of running a 1/2
horsepower fan unit will add approximately $5.36 per month to the normal operating cost. However, this cost is
easily offset in savings on medication, doctors offi ce visits, mechanical maintenance and cleaning of fan units,
refrigeration coils, dirty air ducts and last but not least, less house cleaning.
