symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
Danger indicates an IMMINENTLY
hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.
Warning indicates a POTENTIALLY
hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.
Caution indicates a POTENTIALLY
hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury.

PRODUCT APPLICATION
CONSTRUCTION
The AeroLogic®Air Duct Disinfection Unit consists of:
• Quartz sleeve to protect and insulate the germicidal ultraviolet lamp. The quartz sleeve protects the ultraviolet
lamp from deposits of dirt and/or dust while insulating it from low air temperatures and the cooling affects of high
air velocities in the air duct.
• Germicidal ultraviolet lamp, which delivers ultraviolet energy at the specific wavelength of 254 nanometers (nm).
This wavelength is highly effective against microbes including: virus, bacteria, and mold spores.
• Electronic ballast (120v 50/60Hz or 220v 50/60Hz version available).
• All electronics and wiring are housed in an enclosure constructed of lightweight, anodized aluminum alloy. The
hard coat anodize offers an increased surface hardness, for durability, and corrosion resistance similar to that of
stainless steel.
• Water resistant power cord, rated for indoor/outdoor use (on 120v units)
• Liquid-tight cord grip form a “drip-proof” assembly.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The AeroLogic®line of Air Duct Disinfection Units have been carefully conceived to provide germicidal ultravio-
let exposure for air stream and surface disinfection. The dosage, as it applies to ultraviolet disinfection, is a function of
time, and the intensity, of ultraviolet radiation, to which the air stream and surface is exposed. The exposure time, in
seconds, is the total time it takes the air to move through the ultraviolet field, produced by the germicidal lamp(s).
Exposure time is related to the airflow rate; the higher the airflow, the lower the exposure time or the lower the airflow,
the higher the exposure time. The UV intensity is the amount of energy, per unit time, emitted by the germicidal lamp.
LIMITATIONS
• The AeroLogic®requires professional installation so all wiring complies with applicable state, local and
national electrical and mechanical codes.
•AeroLogic®requires knowledgeable planning for: location, installation, and supervision to prevent ultraviolet
exposure of personnel.
• Overexposure to germicidal ultraviolet rays will result in the irritation of the eyes and reddening of the skin. For
that reason, it is of the utmost importance that your ultraviolet application be carefully planned and implemented
so as to avoid exposure, of personnel, to direct or reflected ultraviolet rays.
• The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has established a Threshold Limit
Value (TLV) for occupational exposure to radiant ultraviolet energy.
• Currently the ultraviolet radiant exposure incident for unprotected eyes or skin should not exceed 0.2 microwatts
per square centimeter (µW/cm2)at 254 nanometers (nm) for an eight (8) hour period.
• Safety and maintenance procedures should be implemented to prevent accidental exposure of personnel, who
maintain the HVAC system. All work performed on the HVAC system must be monitored to insure that it does not
adversely impact the safety or effectiveness of the installation

UNPACKING
• Remove the AeroLogic®Air Duct Disinfection Unit from its shipping carton.
• Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation takes all possible precautions when packaging this unit to prevent damage.
Carefully inspect the unit, power cord and plug for damage, report all damage immediately. Do not assemble or
operate if there is any damage, visible or suspected.
• The germicidal lamp and quartz sleeve, o-ring and Teflon®washer are packed separately, to ensure maximum
protection. Keep these items aside until ready for installation.
• Carefully inspect all packing materials to prevent the loss of accessories, mounting hardware, spare parts or
instructions.
• Do not discard packing materials until unit is assembled and check out is complete.

INSTALLATION
UNIT PLACEMENT
Proper unit placement is essential. To ensure safe and effective operation, the location should:
• Have enough duct width to mount unit with lamp perpendicular to airflow, with the longest duct length for
increased exposure time.
• Be on the supply air plenum, LOCATION A (preferred), or on the return air plenum, LOCATION B (alternate).
See Figure 1- Unit Replacement.
• Be able to support the weight of the AeroLogic®unit. If the duct construction does seem capable of supporting
the weight, the duct must be re-enforced, to support the weight, before installing.
• Have a properly grounded, electrical outlet within reach of the unit’s power supply cord.
• Not be mounted under any source of moisture or condensation, such as humidifiers, cooling coils, etc.
• Not be mounted near any duct openings, joints, seams, etc. If necessary, seal all openings, joints, seams, etc. using
aluminum tape or equivalent ultraviolet resistant material.
• Prevent exposure of any plastic, rubber or other non-metallic materials, with inadequate resistance to ultraviolet,
such as; plastic drain pans, wiring insulation, flex ducts, humidifiers, filters etc. If necessary, shield all plastic,
rubber or other non-metallic parts using aluminum tape, conduit, sheet metal or equivalent ultraviolet resistant
material.
• Be free of any components that would be damaged by or interfere with the installation.
• Be easily accessible for viewing lamp operation through the sight glass assembly.
• Be easily accessible and allow enough clearance for routine cleaning or maintenance.
• Be downstream from air filters. Dust particles will reduce the effectiveness of the unit.

SIGHT GLASS LOCATION & INSTALLATION
The AeroLogic®Air Duct Disinfection Unit comes standard with a 1-inch Sight Glass Assembly, which is installed
separately. The ultraviolet blocking, sight glass allows for visual inspection of the lamps, without the need to remove
the unit from the duct.
1. Select a suitable location near the AeroLogic®installation.
2. Using the Sight Glass Mounting Cutout (See Figure 6 on page 9) mark the centers of the mounting holes and
clearance hole for the sight glass.
CAUTION: Mechanical hazard. Duct sheet metal has sharp edges.
Wear protective gloves when working on or around duct sheet metal.
3. Cut out the opening for the sight glass. Remove burrs and sharp edges where possible.
4. Using the supplied No. 8-18 x 3/8" long hardware, mount the sight glass assembly to the duct.
