. Determine a location for the UVPhotoMAX

Signature Series. Mount the unit on the exit or supply side of the HVAC system and before the ductwork branches off.

2. Separate the power module from the mounting plate. See Fig. 1

.Remove blue lamp protector. See Fig. 2

4. Mark a 4" round opening (or use the end of the PCO chamber to mark the a

rea) on the air duct and cut the hole needed for the insertion of the advanced photocatalytic chamber. See Fig. 3.

5. Thread supplied gasket over PCO module and attach to mounting plate. (Seals against air duct.)

6. Insert the mounting plate / PCO module into opening and attach to duct with two supplied self tapping screws in the lower left and upper right (only). See Figs. 4 and 5.

AFETY PRECAUTIONS:

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

ARNING: UV Hazard. Always protect eyes from ultraviolet light.

EVER look at UV lamps in operation. Unplug or disconnect power

efore replacing lamps or servicing.

WARNING: Severe eye damage or temporary blinding may occur.

WARNING: DO NOT operate outside of air handler. Operate only after installed.

WARNING: No openings in HVAC system 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 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 non UV-rated 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. If installing where UV light can directly contact fiberglass duct board, contact manufacturer of fiberglass product for advice on UV rating. If unknown, install metal sheathing or foil tape to completely protect fiberglass duct board from UV light exposure.

7. Adjust Photon Clarifier. See page 7.

8. Place the power module on the unit aligning holes in tabs with holes in mounting plate (upper left / lower right). See Fig. 6.

9. Secure the power module to the mounting plate with the remaining two self-tapping screws.

10. Plug power cable in.

UVLampMonitor Status

Your UVPhotoMAX is equipped with an advanced electronic highspeed power supply that monitors operation and protects the UV lamp filaments. It also monitors elapsed time and bi-annually reminds that lamp replacement is required. (See page 8 for reset instructions). Below is a chart that describes how to interpret the display.

24VAC Transformer

1. Disconnect power supply before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

2. Connect secondary voltage. Refer to voltage color or terminal coding on transformer for proper wire combination. On terminal type transformer, be sure that no exposed wire can come in contact with any terminal.

3. Connect primary voltage. Refer to voltage color coding on transformer for proper wire combination. See Fig. 1 for connection and installation.

4. Tape or protect all unused exposed wire separately to avoid a possible electrical short.

5. Check installation and reconnect power supply for proper operation.

Maintenance

Typical maintenance of the UVPhotoMAX™ Signature Series system includes recommended annual service and the replacement of the Dual Spectrum UV Lamp. UV lamps undergo a photochemical process during operation that slowly reduces the amount of germicidal UV light generated.

hen installing new lamps, ensure that the lamp glass is free from any fingerprints or debris, as this may alter the path of the UV energy. Use rubbing alcohol and a dry cloth to remove any surface contaminants.

ervice indicator reset

1. To set or reset the Bi-Annual Service Indicator the unit must connected and have power.

2. Press and hold the RESET button for 10 seconds using a non-metallic implement. The LED should turn blue while the button is depressed.

3. Release the RESET button, and the LED should remain blue.

Adjusting the Photon Clarifier

The UVPhotoMAX™ Signature Series is a universal air purifier with a patented design that provides adjustability to the advanced photocatalytic process for a variety of treated space sizes. When setting up your equipment, adjust the Photon Clarifier Adjuster (under electronics cover) to the appropriate position based on the square f

ootage of the home or CFM of the air

handler.

Fine adjustments may be required depending upon household living characteristics.

Z-Light™ UV Option

A UVPhotoMAX™ Signature Series is capable of powering an optional single Ultravation®T3™ Germicidal UV lamp to keep HVAC internal surfaces clear of mold which reduces airborne mold allergen and helps minimize HVAC energy consumption.

The EZ-Light™ option may be advisable in the southern regions or where there is a constant demand for air conditioning. Heavier use frequently leads to bacterial/mold fouling of AC equipment. In these cases it may be beneficial to add a 3rd lamp for items such as blower motor assemblies or turning vanes. Stand-alone Ultravation®UltraMAX™ Germicidal UV light kits are available.

e recommend that this unit be installed and maintained by a trained HVAC

professional technician. Consult your HVAC service provider or call 1-866-468-8247

for more information.

Installation steps (If EZ-Light was purchased separately see instruction for connection to UVPhotoMAX Signature Series accompanying EZ-Light)

1. Select location for UV lamp. Drill a 1" hole. Install mounting plate over

drilled hole with the provided screws. Insert UV lamp module into hole. Attach to HVAC system with two provided self-tapping screws.

2. Plug the rubber lamp connector fully onto the installed UV lamp assembly.

Be sure the four pinholes are oriented to match the four pins on the lamp (see diagram at right).

Notes:

The rectangular pin pattern allows connection in two positions (see diagram at right).

A UV status viewport lens is supplied to verify lamp operation. Drill a 3/8" hole within a 3" r

adius around the lamp, and on the “lamp side” of the “V” in the light shield (if used), to

accommodate installation of the viewport.

Lamp Replacement

The UV Lamp is shipped installed in the equipment and should be replaced d

uring an annual service. To replace the UV Lamp follow the steps below:

Important information about UV lamp replacements

Replace UV lamps at each annual service in order to maintain optimum effectiveness in the reduction of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and m

icroscopic mold. Lamps operating beyond one year do not provide adequate reduction of pathogens and must be replaced. Lamps operating beyond two years draw excessive electrical current which may result in damage to the UV system. If UV lamp(s) have been operating for more than two years, the system must be turned off until replacement lamp(s) are installed. Failure to do so may void the warranty.

1. Unplug power cord and remove power module.

2. Note the postion of the Photon Clarifier and pull adjustment bar to its full-out position. See Fig. 2

3. Remove lamp screws and pull lamp out of PCO module.

4. Install new lamp and fasten with lamp screws.

5. Set the Photon Clarifier to its noted setting.

6. Place the power module on the unit and fasten.

7. Plug in power cord.
