Instructions
for all UV Air Lights Controls mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, odors. Reduces allergy and asthma issues. Improves indoor air quality. |
IMPORTANT Information: |
CAUTION UV LIGHT / OZONE (Z models only)
|
Occupied Spaces: A UV guard (G) needs to be installed over the lamp. All ozone producing units A3Z, A14Z or A28Z should be located 8 >12 feet away from people, plants or animals when occupied. |

Open Air Lights (without guard) work best when exposed to the largest volume of airspace or airflow possible. Continuous slow air movement over UV Air Lights helps expose most air in a room to control (kill) mold, mildew, bacteria (odors) and viruses. The closer an UV Air Light is to the source of the problem the more effective it is. Air Light without UV guards can be used inside a cardboard box with top open to protect surrounding carpet, fabrics, paints and plastics. This is a temporary method of treating a space and protecting fading materials. Enclosed Air Lights need no precautions. Our wood or metal enclosed units provide protection under most circumstances. Slow continuous air circulation must be available to create even distribution
and avoid build up of ozone near the unit. Mold typically grows in dead
air space. Testing may be required to find best location for unit placement.
To test for airflow use tissue paper and check for air movement. Ozone
required for humid climates and hidden water damage (in walls) basements
and other areas. |
On time, distance, room volume and temperature
– controls actual trace ozone available. Use a timer, open window
or cover lamp with aluminum foil to reduce ozone output if required
for fine tuning an environment. |
UV Air Light {A18} A36 shown with reflector
in the down/ direct position. Provides maximum disinfection properties.
For use in unoccupied spaces. |
UV Air Light {A18} A36 shown with reflector, (lamps not visible) is the
up or reflected position. For use in occupied spaces. When used in the up position with a reflector generally no precautions are required. Being under a UV Air Light in the reflected up position poses no UV exposure risk. General Notes: Mounting: A18 or A36. Use small chain or aircraft cable suspension. Do not use rope or plastics. Wall mount on a shelf above eye level. Mounting without reflector reaches wider airspace, typically for lower ceilings. For high ceilings over 14 feet high, (4 meters) a reflector is recommended. The reflector focus UV light energy in a 70° to 90° angle. A reflector in the up position will protect people, plants and animals (except birds). Lamps reflected in mirrors or from polished metal ceilings in occupied areas should be avoided. Never use for reading. Maintenance: Turn power OFF to change lamp or clean reflector or UV guard. Use glass cleaner and a soft cloth or vacuum. Replace lamp every 6 months for critical applications. Replace lamp yearly where unit is used 24/7. Dirty or darkened glass reduces UV and Ozone transmission, darkened ends indicates lamp needs replacement. Blow out all units with compressed air for optimum operation. Wattage: Simple rule of thumb for average conditions recommended lamp wattage is .0333 watts per cubic foot or .11759 watts per cubic meter. If stronger treatment is needed increase wattage (1.5x) 50% to (2x)100%. Multiple fixtures and/ or higher wattage (output) will reduce exposure time, and treat higher volumes of air or surface. |
Temperature: Colder or high humidity spaces
require longer exposure or higher wattage. General temperature range
is 75°> 85°F for maximum efficiency. Color dyes may fade from prolonged exposures to UV light. May darken or produce haze on plastic surfaces. |
