2. Prepare location for installation
a. Prior to installation of either the lamp or fan assembly, be sure to note where the
units will be mounted and where the air intakes and outputs are intended to be.
This will determine the amount of aluminum air duct tubing necessary to
complete installation. If using the motion sensor add-on, consider the placement
to ensure there will be a consistent detection of motion.
b. The lamp assembly is designed to drop into a 24” x 48” space in a metal T-Bar
ceiling, with at least 24” clearance above the T-Frame.
c. The fan assembly is designed to drop into a 24” x 24” space in a metal T-Bar
ceiling, with at least 17” clearance above the unit.
d. Turn off all HVAC equipment prior to installation.

4. Installing the unit – Fan Assembly
a. Once a 24” x 24” opening in the ceiling has been prepared, drop the fan assembly
into place.
b. The fan assembly is supplied with a power cord designed to connect with the lamp
assembly. Ensure the mounting location allows for this connection.
c. Secure the fan assembly into the ceiling mount by connecting the support cables to
the 4 connection points same as the lamp assembly diagram. (See page.10)
d. Once the fan assembly is secured, using the aluminum air duct tubing, connect the
fan assembly to the installed lamp assembly. (See page.9)
e. Attach the plug from the fan assembly to the lamp assembly and tidy up the length
of the cord.
5. Installation Continued
a. After the DCU-300 is secured, using aluminum air duct tubing connect the lamp
assembly to the installed fan assembly. (Ensure that the number of ducts
corresponds to the installed number of fans, block off all unused ducts on the unit.)
Verify that the desired intake and output aluminum duct tubing is also installed.
b. The DCU-300 is supplied with a 10’ power cord with a standard male plug for
connecting to a standard electrical outlet. The installer is responsible for
connecting the 110 – 120v or 220 – 240v power correctly in the form of hard wiring
a plug or utilizing an extension cord if needed.
c. The DCU-300 is ready for operation. Turn on the unit by flipping the black On/Off
switch and the “Power On” LED will illuminate green. The DCU-300 will activate as
soon as adequate airflow is detected or the motion sensor is activated.

INSTALLATION CONCLUSION
1. The “Power On” LED should illuminate, if not turn the unit back off and inspect
the cable connections to verify the unit is properly connected.
a. If all the connections are correct and the outlet is tested to verify the
unit is receiving power but the “Power On” LED still isn’t illuminated,
turn your unit off and contact an Air Sniper representative.
2. Once airflow is detected, the “Lamp Operating” LED will illuminate, indicating
the UV-C Lamp is on. If using optional motion sensor, the unit will turn on after
detecting motion and remain on for 45 minutes to an hour if no further activation
occurs.
BULB STATUS
The “Lamp Operating” LED can illuminate three different colours, indicating differing 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 “Lamp Operating” LED color is yellow indicating “Lamp Life Warning”, please
contact your local distributor or an Air Sniper representative directly for a replacement.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your unit is not operating as expected, there are several steps you can take to attempt to
correct the problem.
If the “Lamp Operating” LED is not illuminating after powering on:
- Inspect the unit and the power cable to verify nothing appears damaged.
- Check that the selected power source is in fact providing power to the unit.
- Check that the On/Off switch is flipped to the on position.
- Once airflow is established, the lamp indicator light will be lit.
- Check that both ends of the 10’ power cable are securely connected to the
unit and the power source.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the UV-C lamp outside of the unit
enclosure. UV-C radiation is extremely harmful to unprotected skin and eyes.
ADDITIONAL FACTORS
Given that air pressure can change at differing elevations and differing humidity levels, for
safety reasons the lamp requires a minimum value of airflow to ensure safety.
If the “Lamp Operating” LED is not illuminated and you’ve verified
a correct setup and proper installation. Try increasing the airflow
and/or fan speeds until it turns on.
If the “Lamp Operating” LED is not able to illuminate at any airflow
and/or fan speed please contact your Air Sniper representative at
1.888.338.9549 or email us at [e-mail].

The DCU-300 unit uses a built in 300w UV-C lamp with a lifetime of 6+ years (55,200
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 powered on to determine the state of your unit. It is strongly recommended that
the unit be replaced when the “Lamp Life Warning” yellow LED is illuminated.
When the lamp life has been exceeded, the LED will glow red. Contact your local
distributor or Air Sniper representative to order replacements.
REPLACEMENT
WARNING: UV-C Lamps generate heat during operation, allow 20-30
minutes after unplugging the unit for the lamp to cool down.
1. Disconnect the expired unit from the power source. The 10’ power cable can also be
disconnected from the unit
2. Locate and remove the safety cables used to install the unit and carefully remove the
aluminum air duct tubing before removing the unit from the ceiling.
3. Insert a new DCU-300 unit into the ceiling. (Refer to Installation on page 8).
4. Place and tighten the safety cables back into place, securing the unit onto the ceiling
mount. Re-attach the aluminum air duct tubing.
5. Connect the 10’ power cable to the newly installed unit.
6. Using the On/Off switch, turn the unit on, verify “Lamp Operating” LED is illuminated.
7. Once the new unit is installed, carefully package the old unit with all included
equipment to ship to your local distributor or directly to Air Sniper for store credit.
