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
The 24VAC units must be powered by a dedicated
independent 24VAC isolation transformer with a
minimum rating of 40VA or 60VA depending on
specific unit power consumption (see chart on
page 7).

General application guidelines for Ultramax Economy Ultraviolet air
purification systems
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 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.

Installation steps for remote lamp mounting,
remote lamp replacement, and external
mounting of power supply:
1. Determine a suitable location to install unit housing.
Mounting location should be of sufficient strength as to
support the unit; otherwise reinforcement of the
ductwork may be necessary. Lift into place against
ductwork. Fasten unit in place with four self- tapping
screws (supplied).
2. Select location for UV lamp module. Drill a 1” hole.
Mount mounting plate over drilled hole with screws
provided. Insert UV lamp module into hole. Attach to
HVAC system with 2 self-drilling screws (provided).
3. Plug the rubber lamp connector fully onto the installed
UV lamp assembly. Be sure the 4 pinholes are orientated
properly to the 4 mating pins of the lamp.
4. Connect power wires to 24VAC off HVAC system. THIS
SHOULD BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
STATE AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL AND BUILDING
CODES.
Note: The T3 UV lamp assembly can be removed
independently, simply by removing the 2 screws in the
lamp base.
Note: the pins are in a rectangular patent and can only
be mated in 2 positions.
See the illustration of the T3 lamp 4-pin connector.
Installation steps for remote lamp mounting,
remote lamp replacement, and internal
mounting of power supply:
1. Mount power supply inside air handler out of the air
stream as much as possible. Place the power supply
as close to the control panel as possible for connecting
to 24VAC connections.
2. To utilize the internal mounting bracket - first install the
bracket inside the air handler in a location that will
position the UV lamp such that it bathes the entire
surface to be treated. Next plug the lamp connector
onto the lamp.
Push the lamp connector and lamp into
the bracket as shown. This will hold the lamp
in place.
3. Connect power wires to 24VAC off HVAC system.
THIS SHOULD BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ALL STATE AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL AND
BUILDING CODES.

Installation steps for Exclusive Re-Fresh PCO
odor reduction Module:
1. Find a location adjacent to the UV lamps to mount the
PCO module. To activate the PCO module it requires UV
light shinning on its surface. PCO module can be mounted
within inches of the UV light, or if necessary the module
can be within 2 ft. of direct UV light and still be activated.
2. To mount the PCO module you will need to drill one 2
1/2” diameter hole. The base plate of the module will need
to be screwed to the duct or air handler with the 4 screws
supplied.
3. The PCO module measures 16” inches long by 2 ½”
diameter. The surface area of the module relates directly to
the amount of VOC’s it can eliminate. If necessary the
Module can be trimmed to a shorter length to
accommodate installation in the air handler.
It is beneficial to install additional PCO modules in the area
of the UV lights, thereby increasing the airborne bacteria
disinfection rate and the removal of VOC’s.
modules may be installed completely internally.

Maintenance:
Maintenance typically consists of an annual replacement of
the ultraviolet lamps.
UV lamps undergo a photochemical process during
operation. This slowly reduces the amount of UV light
generated to disinfect against airborne pathogens.
When 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.
Troubleshooting:
The Ultravation air disinfection equipment is designed to
provide many years of trouble free operation. In the unlikely
event of a problem, please contact your local dealer or
Ultravation directly. Before calling for service, you should
have your Model No; Serial No; Manufacturing Date.
If you are troubleshooting the unit, check the following:
Verify the unit has correct power (24VAC or 120VAC
depending on Model Number used)
Lamp is securely plugged into their sockets, no loose wires.
If possible try new lamps in Unit to see if they light.
Verify if in fact the UV lamps are on or off. Do not look at
the UV light without proper eye protection.
