System Overview
(continued)
UV-C Lamps
The UV-C lamps are extremely powerful and should be treated with appropriate caution. Refer to the
safety section for precautions.
UV-C light can kill micro-organisms when they are exposed to it for enough time. The rate at which
micro-organisms are killed depends on the wavelength of the light, the intensity of the light, and the
exposure time. Depending on the application, the UVairo Air Sanitizer has been designed to kill in a
range of 90% to 99.99% of all potentially harmful organisms.
Light Box
The heart of the UVairo Air Sanitizer is the UV-C lamp chamber (the light box). This stainless-steel
structure is made up of the external shell and internal reflectors/lamp holders.
Lamp Life
The lamps have a rated life of 9000 hours of operation. 9000 hours is the point at which the actual output
of UV-C light may start to drop below 90% of the original, and the risk of inadequate dosage exceeds
allowable tolerances.
Air Infeed
The UVairo Air Sanitizer uses forced-air for both cooling the UV-C lamps and for feeding air into the UV-C
box.
Air Filtration
The air filter is located at the bottom of the machine, below the air intake fan. The filter prevents particles
from entering and contaminating the UVairo Air Sanitizer system enclosure. Be sure to inspect the filter
every month, as noted in the PM section.
Changing the Air Filter
The UVairo Air Sanitizer air filter simply slides in and out to make inspection and changing easier.
Power Supply
On the backside of the machine is an on/off switch, power cable, and power supply fuse. CAUTION: Do
not tamper with the three prongs or remove the grounding prong.

CLEANING
Cleaning Notes
The UVairo Air Purifier is a precision machine that must be cared for and cleaned on a regular basis. The
interior of the light chamber should be blown-out with clean, compressed shop air on a weekly basis to
remove any accumulated dust and debris that could cause shadowing of the UV-C lamps.
CAUTION: No Abrasive Pads! Do not use any abrasive pad or
similar Scotch-Brite®material on any parts of the machine.
Unsightly scratching and micro-scratching of the surfaces will
result.
Plastic Cleaning
Use soft, white cloths and a specific plastic cleaner when
cleaning the plastic. Do NOT use paper towels. Micro-scratching
and a damaged finish will result if cleaners and materials other
than those specified for plastic are used. Recommend using
Geerpres Advantex® Single-Use Microfiber wipes for cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not use any type of caustic cleaner or solvent-
type cleaner on the polycarbonate doors of the machine, nor any
type of Scotch-Brite®material, or equivalent.
Stainless Steel Cleaning
Use soft, white cloths and a specific, high quality stainless-steel cleaner to avoid scratching the mirror-like
surface and to keep the unit looking clean. Recommend using Geerpres Advantex® Single-Use
Microfiber wipes for cleaning.
Lamp
Cleaning
Lamp Reflectors
The stainless-steel lamp reflectors must be kept clean to maintain their bright, polished surfaces to
ensure proper air sanitation.
UV-C Lamps
The lamps can be wiped down with a cloth soaked with tap water (use no chemicals), and then wiped dry.
Machine Enclosure
CAUTION: Do not spray the device with water or cleaner as
these are not sealed units.
