EATURES

1. The UV-1500C is equipped with a speed control to allow the user to adjust the airflow through the unit from 35 cfm to 100 cfm.

2. The UV-1500C has a safety shut off switch that disconnects power to the fan and the lamp if the front access door is opened.

3. The UV-1500C is equipped with a circuit board to monitor the operation of the UV lamp; it indicates the operation of the lamp through a LED indicator light mounted on the front access door. The circuit board indicates good operation of the lamp by a continuous “GREEN” color on the LED light. After 8320 hrs 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 9000 hrs 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. The circuit board will indicate this by a continuous “RED” color on the LED and the internal alarm will beep every 5 minutes.

III. UV-1500C CHECK OUT PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a standard 120-volt wall receptacle.

2. Turn the speed control knob clockwise to turn the unit on. After the fan has started, the LED light will show a continuous “GREEN” color indicating proper unit operation.

3. Once you have determined that the unit is functioning properly, turn unit off and unplug.

4. Continue to next section for mounting options.

WARNING: Never expose eyes or skin to UVC light from any source. Looking directly at the UVC light may cause permanent eye damage o blindness. Never operate the UV-Aire™ Air Purifying System with the UV chamber door ope n. Avoid touching the glass portion of the lamp with your hands.
