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

Ultravation manufactures several configurations
of Ultraviolet disinfection products to meet any
installation criteria. Ultravation two lamp
ultraviolet systems are designed to adequately
treat up to a 5 ton system or 3,500 sq ft.
Whenever possible use a two lamp configuration
with the longest lamp length possible for the
installation.
Ultravation suggests mounting on the exit side of
the HVAC system before the ductwork branches
off. This will ensure that the airborne
contaminants reaching the ultraviolet purification
system and the OPTIONAL Re-Fresh Odor
reduction module have been reduced to an
acceptable Micron size by the HVAC systems
filter.
Ultravation Ultramax products have been
designed for peak performance in the cooler
temperatures commonly found in the supply
plenum of a typical HVAC system.
Installing an Ultraviolet system in the return may
degrade the media filter and/ or collect dirt
particles on the UV lamp glass gradually
decreasing performance. If this is the obvious
source of microbial growth then placing the
Ultraviolet system in the return is the best
solution. **Caution must be taken to ensure
Ultraviolet light is not coming in contact with
the media filter or being exposed outside the
enclosed system.
Ultravation’s exclusive Re-Fresh odor reduction
module (OPTIONAL) performs continuous photo
catalytic processing, constantly reducing or
eliminating unwanted odor and bacteria resulting
in clean fresh breathable air.
Ultravation Ultraviolet systems produce no
ozone. There is no harmful by-products or off
gasing taking place in the sterilization process or
the photo catalytic process.
The surrounding illustrations show the flexibility
offered with the Ultravation Ultramax product line

installation criteria, if you need help or have
