Introduction and Applications:
This Ultravation Stand Alone Photronic HEPA is a stand
alone 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.
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
12-inch UVC lamp is 16 watts each 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.

Maintenance:
The filter media in your air cleaner must be changed
periodically. The frequency of filter replacement is best
determined by visual examination. However, a 60 day
replacement of the 2” filter and 5 years for the HEPA
filter is strongly recommended. Replacement filters
obtained through your installing contractor or local
dealer. - Actual replacement may vary depending on
the severity of dust and dirt particles.
If the Photocatalytic filter should become dirty, it
may be cleaned with low velocity compressed air
or vacuum only, no solvents or water should be
used. If the Photocatalytic section becomes wet, allow
the section to air dry before reinstallation.
The mesh screen on the Photocatalytic filter is coated
using a patented process known to photo chemically
breakdown VOC’s and Odors as well as reduce
airborne pathogens on contact. Under normal operating
conditions this filter should not require replacement
within five years and may last up to 10 years.
.
The Air cleaner should never be run with a filter with
less than a MERV-11* Filter.
Using less than a MERV-11* Filter rating will reduce
the effectiveness of this product. It is recommended
that this product be serviced and maintained by an
HVAC professional.
*MERV or Minimum efficiency rating value is a number
assigned to filters indicating their ability to capture
particles and dust, the higher the number the better the
filter. A MERV 11 filter is 40% more effective than a
MERV-8. Be sure that an Ultravation MERV-11 filter is
requested for replacements in this product.
Steps for replacing filters:

Reverse the process with new lamps. (New lamps
should be cleaned with a damp cloth or with
rubbing alcohol to remove any fingerprints and
debris prior to installation.)
