Introduction and Applications:
This Ultravation Photronic HEPA Media 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 photo catalytic conversion or photo
catalytic 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 UVC lamps 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

Installation – Filter Housing Cabinet
Ultravation Photronic Air Cleaning Systems is typically
installed as shown in the picture below. The air cleaner
is also designed to have the air flow in only a single
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 Photronic HEPA 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:
There is no external power supply for the Photronic
HEPA, remote lamp leads are wired through the back
of the unit.
