ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Congratulations on the purchase of the P900. Sanuvox systems are the most advanced air purication systems available, that

can help reduce biological and chemical contaminants that circulate throughout the building. Sanuvox systems have been

tested by universities, in hospitals and by independant third party laboratories.

The P900 is designed to purify the air of a small room (up to 900 cubic feet), helping reduce chemical and biological contaminants.

The unit is designed for small homes and apartments, and can be used in commercial areas.

For information or recommendations on how to size your specic application, please call SANUVOX at 1-888-726-8869.

COMPONENTS

How it Works

Foul air enters the P900 parallel to the UV ‘J’ lamp, thus increasing contact time with the UV light. First, the air goes through an

inlet lter that captures particles. After, the UV lamp attacks biological contaminants. Finally, the purifed air circulates through

the home.

ULTRAVIOLETS

Ultraviolet wavelengths (UV) emitted by Sanuvox units and systems are identical to ultraviolets produced by the sun. UVC

damage nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) of microorganisms, which inactivates them. Unlike conventional UV lamps on the market,

Sanuvox units and systems use a patented process that delivers a maximum dose of UV to the moving air stream or surfaces.

CAUTION: Never expose eyes or skin to an operating UV lamp. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation is associated

with different types of skin cancer, sunburn, accelerated skin aging, as well as cataracts and other eye diseases. The severity

of the effect depends on the wavelength, intensity, and duration of exposure.

STORAGE

The P900 does not require specic storage. It is a portable unit that works continuously when ON, or automatically when

selecting proper settings (fan speed and timer).

CAUTION: Keep away from unsupervised children. This unit is not a toy.

ELECTRICAL RATINGS, POWER CONSUMPTION & AVAILABLE VOLTAGE

The P900 has a power consumption of 33W. The product is rated at 120V to 240V, and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.

See product label to conrm power consumption of your specic unit or system.
