Introduction and Applications:

This Ultravation Photronic Right Angle Design Air
Cleaner is a complete whole house air cleaning system.
This high efficiency air filtration unit is designed to
remove dirt, dust, pollen, and microscopic particles:
reduce unpleasant odors, VOC gases and the microbial
population from the air that circulates through it. By
adding this device to your HVAC system, you are
helping to create a cleaner indoor living environment for
your whole household.

The system works in 2-3 steps (depending on model
purchased, some models do not include the germicidal
protection in step 3)

STEP 1: Trapping particles in the pleats of the MERV 11
media filter. With an extra large surface area, the filter
allows for maximum dirt holding capacity and a long,
useful filter life with minimum air flow restriction.

STEP 2: VOC’s and gases such as the f umes from new
carpets, paints, nail polish, cigar and cigarette smoke
are drastically reduced photo chemically via a patented
process known as photocatalytic conversion or
photocatalytic oxidation.

(Option)STEP 3: Germicidal UVC light is applied to the
Air to drastically reduce or eliminate unwanted virus,
bacteria and mold.

This air cleaner is to be installed in a forced air heating,
cooling and ventilation system. It should be installed so
that all the system’s air is circulated through the filter first
and VOC Section second. The air cleaner will only filter
the air that is circulated through it. For maximum filtration
effect, set your blower to operate continuously. (Lower
speeds allow for higher efficiency)

Safety Precautions:

It is recommended that this unit be installed and
maintained by a trained technician:

WARNING: UV Hazard. Always protect eyes from
ultraviolet light. NEVER look at UV lamps in
operation. Unplug or disconnect power before re­lamping or servicing.

WARNING: Severe eye damage or temporary
blinding may occur.

WARNING: DO NOT operate outside of Air Handler.
Mount lamp base to duct first.

WARNING: No openings in duct are allowed which
would give direct line-of-sight to the UV light.

In the event of accidental breakage or replacement of
the ultraviolet lamp, please ensure that the lamp is
disposed of in accordance with local and state
environmental laws regarding fluorescent lamps
containing mercury.

Notice:

All wiring inside of the duct or air handling system in
direct line of site of the UV lamp must be shielded with
aluminum foil tape or equivalent non-combustible
material. When installing this unit, select a mounting
location that prevents ultraviolet light exposure to
plastic flexible duct liner or other plastic components
with unknown resistance to ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet
light may cause color shift or structural degradation of
plastic HVAC components

Power Consumption UV-A, UV-C lamps

Lamp Type Quantity Required
16-inch UV-A lamp is 36 watts 1
12-inch UVC lamp are 12 watts 2
17-inch UVC lamp are 22 watts 2
Note: Handle fits either door. A Phillips screw driver

will be required to install the handle. Handle holes are
behind the label on either door, depending on the
orientation of the installation.

Installation requirements:

This unit is designed to be powered up constantly
and should not cycle on and off with a blower motor.

Unit must be installed either; within 6 feet of a 120 power
outlet, or hardwired per local and state electrical code
(Range 120-240VAC).

There must be at least 16 inches above the unit for
UVA lamp replacement.

There must be minimum 26 inches in front of the door for
filter replacement.

Installation – Filter Housing Cabinet

Ultravation RAD Photronic Air Cleaning Systems is
designed to be installed adjacent to the air handler.
The air cleaner is also designed to be internally
reversible with the airflow direction. They must be
installed in an area of the duct that precedes the blower
compartment. In this location, the blower motor and
internal components will be kept clean. This increases
air handler component life, improves system efficiency,
and reduces maintenance costs.

The Ultravation Right Angle Design Air Cleaner has
been designed for use in conjunction with virtually any
HVAC system.

Do not install this unit in the supply duct.
Be sure to plan adequate space for filter replacement.
Before installation is complete, seal all joints and

seams with duct tape or caulking.

Installation of Electronic Power Supply:

1. Determine the desired airflow path for installation
and determine available room for lamp replacement.
(This will determine the placement of the electrical
enclosure on the units – remove the knockout from the
filter cabinet)

2. Remove the cover from the electrical box.

3. Line up the lamp hole in the electrical enclosure with
the knockout on the filter cabinet and screw electrical
housing into place with provided hardware.

4. Install the twin tube (white in color) photocatalytic
lamp. When installed it is parallel to the Mesh filter.

5. The photocatalytic lamp clips into the socket with
diagonal pressure then seat back into place. (See
Illustration on page 6)

6. See instructions on setting the indicator light on
models utilizing UVC lamps. (page 6).

7. Reinstall the electrical cover.
* When the 24VAC power supply unit is purchased it

comes with a 100VA 24VAC secondary transformer to
be dedicated to the Ultravation equipment.

Electronics can be located
