OPERATION

How to Operate your Product

If wired directly to a dedicated power source, the SANUVAIR® S100 will operate continuously. If wired in parallel with other

devices, such as overhead lighting, the SANUVAIR® S100 will operate only when the circuit is energized. The internal fan

circulates air through the device. Room air is drawn in through the aluminum lter and passes by the ultraviolet lamp. Then, the

puried air is being exhausted. A safety switch is provided to stop operation if the cover is opened.

Do not hold down security switch when cover is open. The ultraviolet lamp will energize, which may cause injury to eyes and

exposed skin. Never expose eyes or skin to direct UV light.

CAUTION: The suggested operating temperature range is 50°F to 115°F (10°C to 46°C). Operating the SANUVAIR® S100

outside this range will result in decreased performance.

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.

Step by Step UV Lamp Continuity Test

Example for a ceiling-mounted unit. The same step by step process applies for a wall-mounted unit.

NOTE: Its possible to access the lamp while the unit is installed on the ceiling or wall. Another option is to remove the unit from

the ceiling or wall, and then access the lamp with the unit lying on a at surface with the access doors facing up. Besides, this

option is preferable for a wall unit.

1. Unplug the unit, then open it by sliding its cover to gain access to the

lamp location.

NOTE: Unit must be disconnected from the supply before servicing

lter.

3. Using an ohmmeter place 1 probe on 1 of the 4 pins and by sensing

the 3 remaining pins, one should have continuity. Make sure the 2

remaining pins also have continuity. When both sets of pins test good

for continuity, it can be assumed that the lamp is good.

STEP 1

STEP 3

2. Open the clamp. Disconnect the old UV lamp from the connector and

remove the lamp from the unit.

NOTE: Fingerprints on the lamp will negatively impact the UV output of

the lamp. Always use cotton gloves to manipulate UV lamps.
