REQUIRED TOOLS
- Drill bit to initiate cut-out puncture
- Sheet metal tin snips or appropriate cutting equipment
- 12 #8 Tek screws
- Drill for Tek screws
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Use care when unboxing and handling your unit. Ensure adequate space is
available for unboxing, installation, and operation prior to attempting to handle your unit.
Ensure that the intended placement of your unit allows access to the necessary power
requirements and does not create a hazard once connected.
To Install your Induct 300W Unit:
1. Remove from box
a. Carefully remove your Induct 300W unit, 10’ power cable and reflective
panels from the shipping box
b. Inspect the Unit and all components, note any damage or defects

9
2. Prepare location for installation
a. Determine the best location to install your unit. Both return and supply ducting
locations are acceptable for installation. Return air installation can assist with
coil cleaning. For more information on best locations for your unit, consult the
installation parameters in this manual or contact Air Sniper.
b. Once an installation location has been determined, take note of the direction
of airflow within the duct for installation, be sure to mount the unit accordingly
(airflow direction is marked at the bottom right of the unit).
c. Ensure that all exterior insulation of the HVAC duct is cut 2” back from the
point of installation. Turn off all HVAC equipment prior to installation.
d. Using one of the included reflective panels as a template, identify and mark
the intended cut out location for mounting the Induct 300W unit and trace the
panel of where the unit will be installed. Traced rectangle should have the
following dimensions: 22 ¾” x 8”
Trace

10
3. Cutting into duct
a. Drill a hole large enough on one of the corners of the outline as a starting
point to cut out the opening in the duct for the unit to be installed. Ensure that
the drill hole is made within the perimeter traced in step 2d as to not leave a
gap once the unit is installed.
b. Using the sheet metal snips (or appropriate cutting device), carefully follow
the trace, slowly cutting out the opening where the unit is to be installed

11
4. Placing reflective panels
a. Remove blue protective plastic on the provided magnetic reflective panels
a. Carefully place the unit through the cut-out of the duct work.
b. Using your drill and the 12 #8 Tek screws and the pre-drilled mounting holes
around the unit, secure the unit into the duct work where you cut into.
NOTE: When mounting, it is strongly recommended to consider a scheme that allows easy
access for maintenance and unit replacement.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
To Operate your Induct 300 unit,
1. Connect the Power Cable to the unit

13
3. Turn the unit on using the On/Off switch located on the right side
of the white front panel.
6. Once an airflow is detected, the UV Lamp will illuminate, and the “Lamp
Operating” LED will turn on.

BULB STATUS
NOTE: The “Lamp Operating” LED will glow 3 different colours, indicating different
bulb status.
The variations are as follows:
- Green: Lamp Operating, the lamp is operating as intended
- Yellow: Lamp Life Warning, the lamp is nearing the end of its lifespan,
requires replacement in near future
- Red: Lamp Life exceeded, lamp has reached the end of its lifespan,
requires immediate replacement
When the yellow “Lamp Life Warning” colour is shown, please contact your local
distributor or Air Sniper directly for a replacement. The Induct 300W is designed as a
complete unit, therefore when the bulb expires, the entire unit must be replaced.
The Induct 300W is designed to sanitize in an environment with an airflow of 500
CFM to a maximum of 1500 CFM. If your particular application handles greater
airflow, contact Air Sniper for options that may be better suited to higher airflow
environments.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your unit is not operating as expected, there are several steps you can take to attempt to
correct the problem.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to operate the UV-C lamp outside of the duct. UV-C radiation
is extremely harmful to unprotected skin and eyes.
If the Bulb is not operating:
- Inspect the unit and the power cable to verify nothing appears damaged.
- Check that the selected power source is in fact providing power for the unit.
- Check that both ends of the 10’ Power cable are securely connected to either the unit
or the Power source.
- Check that the On/Off switch is flipped to the On position.
- Once airflow is established, the lamp indicator light will be lit.
If the “Lamp Operating (Bulb Life) LED is Red, the bulb has expired. Contact your local
distributor or Air Sniper to replace the unit.

15
REPLACING YOUR UNIT
The Air Sniper Induct 300W Unit uses a built in 300W UV-C Lamp with a lifetime of 5 years
(43,000 hours, based on 24/7 operation). To track the life of the Lamp on your unit, check
the “Lamp Operating” LED Colour when the unit is activated to determine the state of your
unit. It is strongly recommended that the unit be replaced when the Lamp Life Warning LED
is illuminated (LED glows Yellow). When the Lamp life has been exceeded (LED glows Red),
the entire unit will need to be replaced. Contact your local distributor or Air Sniper to order
replacement units.
REQUIRED TOOLS
- New Air Sniper Induct 300W Unit
- Flat Head Screwdriver or Drill
REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect the expired unit from the power source. The 10’ power cable can also be
disconnected from the unit (The “Power On” LED will not be illuminated as the unit
has been unplugged). WARNING: UV-C Bulbs will heat during operation, allow
20-30 minutes after unplugging the unit for the bulb to cool off.
2. Locate and remove the 12 #8 Tek screws (located around the Powder Aluminium
Cover) and carefully remove the unit from the duct.
3. Insert a new unit into the duct.
4. Place and tighten the 12 #8 Tek screws back in place, securing the unit into the duct.
5. Connect the power cable to the unit.
6. Using the On/Off switch, turn the unit On, the “Power On” unit will illuminate Green.
