Maintenance:

Typical maintenance of the PhotoMax system is
recommended replacement of the Dual Spectrum
Lamp every 2 years and replacement of the PCO
Module is every 5 years.

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.

The UV Lamp is shipped installed in the

required for airstream disinfection. To replace the
UV Lamp follow the steps below:

1. Turn power off and remove cover.

2. Pull advanced photo catalytic rod to its
full out position.

3. Unplug lamp and remove screws.

4. Change lamp and connect lamp.

Upgrade for object purification:

This product may be upgraded to power a single 12" or 17" Ultravation T3 lamp.
This may be necessary especially in the southern most states or where there is a constant demand for Air conditioning as

this practice tends to lead to bacterial fouling of AC equipment.
In some cases it may be necessary to have a 3rd dedicated lamp for items such as blower motor assemblies or turning

vanes.
Upgrades should be done by a trained technician only.

Consult your HVAC technician or call 1-866-468-8247 for more information.
