Applicable Warning Labels
Electric / Shock Hazard
Electrical Shock can cause
serious injury or death.
Disconnect all remote
electrical power supplies
before servicing.
To reduce the potential of electric shock or
fire, the wiring required by this manual
should be performed by a licensed electrician
in accordance with applicable National
Electric Cod, NFPA 70, and local codes.
UVC Light hazard. UVC light can cause temporary or permanent loss of vision
and sunburn. Take proper precautions to protect eyes and skin from direct
exposure. Replace lamp with Model No. 2813, Manufactured by First Light
Technologies, Inc., or lamp with Model No. GEN9093, Manufactured by UV
Engineering Solutions LLC.
Mercury Hazard
Do not break lamps. Each UVC lamp contains
a small amount of Mercury. In case of
breakage use proper lamp disposal techniques
on page 13.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service, or maintenance can cause property
damage, personal injury, or death. Installation
and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a.) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact
the manufacturer.
b.) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent waring device, such as a tag
to the service panel.

Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Use of accessories, transducers, and cables
other than those specified or provided by the
manufacture of this equipment could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or
decrease electromagnetic immunity of this
equipment and result in improper operation.
Portable RF communications equipment
(including peripherals such as antenna cables
and external antennas) should be used no
closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of
the B, including cables specified by the
manufacture. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could result.
Keep Away from Water Danger
As with most electrical appliances, electrical parts in this device are electrically live even when
dial is switched off. To reduce risk of death by electric shock:
1. Always “unplug it” after use
2. Do not place or store where device can fall or be pulled into water.
3. do not use near or place in water.
4. If device falls into water, unplug immediately. Do not reach into water.
Do Not Stack
Use of this equipment
adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment should be
avoided because it could
result in improper
operation. If such use is
necessary, this equipment
and the other equipment
should be observed to verify
that they are operating
normally.
Do Not Block Air Grille
Blocking inlet or exhaust grilles may result in
improper operation of air cleaning equipment.
Overheating may result and cause permanent
damage to equipment.

*Equipment must be properly maintained to allow Catalyst Panels to last the full 5-year warranty
period. If MERV particle filters are not used or are not replaced at the appropriate intervals, the life of
the catalyst panels will be reduced. If PCPs are cleaned incorrectly or too frequently, the life of the
catalyst panels will be reduced. High pressure spray cannot be used directly on Catalyst Panels.
Preforming maintenance improperly will result in a voided product warranty. Catalyst can exceed
warranty and last up to 15 years if well maintained.

UV Lamp Safety Information
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is used for the activation of the PCO Catalyst. The residual
light presents a variety of potential health hazards to humans. These hazards include eye damage,
skin burns, and the potential to cause skin cancer. Because germicidal UV rays are invisible to the
human eye, personnel may be subjected to a hazardous dose of UV without warning. There is no
Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard for exposure to ultraviolet light. UV can be
associated with adverse health effects depending on duration of exposure and wavelength. These
adverse health effects include erythema (sunburn), photokeratitis (a feeling of sand in the eyes), skin
cancer, melanoma, cataracts, and retinal burns. Ideally, activated UV sources should be attended by
knowledgeable personnel at all times.
The UVC lamps in CenterPoint™products do not produce ozone! The lamps provide a minimum
intensity of 775 microwatts/cm2at 10.77 cm to activate the catalyst effectively to maintain tested
performance. Lamps may not be substituted with an unapproved manufacturer. These lamps provide
UV-C light at a wavelength of 254 nm. Despite their appearance to the naked eye, the lamp intensity
will reduce over time. All lamps must be replaced every 16 months (12000 hrs.) of continuous use to
maintain intensity requirements. Lamps provided contain trace amounts of mercury. Lamps include a
Teflon case to encapsulate the lamp and reduce the risk of exposing the consumer and environment
to mercury.
Personal Protective Equipment
While in normal operation, these units will not emit harmful levels of UV radiation to the surrounding
area. When checking for proper lamp connection, you may be exposed to harmful levels of UV
radiation. If you must have the lamps on to check for proper operation, follow these instructions.
•All personnel exposed to UV radiation must wear UV protective glasses.
•All personnel exposed to UV radiation must protect exposed skin with UV resistant clothing.

Installation
Figure 2: Standalone Ceiling Mounted Figure 3: Ducted Above Ceiling Tiles
The B unit is designed to be utilized either as a portable or permanently installed unit. Installation
must be completed by competent personnel. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages or
injuries sustained from installations done by persons other than qualified technicians who are
employed by the manufacture.
Portable Installation
Make the following considerations when choosing an appropriate placement location.
•Choose a suitable location on the ground within a room or corridor that requires air purification.
•Ensure that the intake and outlet grills of the unit are not blocked by adjacent furniture or walls.
•Ensure that the placement of the unit does not interfere with the flow of foot traffic or block
entrances or exits to rooms within the building.
•Placing air purifier too close to a window or door may cause unit to such in outdoor air rather
than recirculate air in the room.
Caution: Placing the B unit in a location on the floor that impede foot traffic may be considered a
fire hazard. Consults local building and fire codes to find a suitable floor location.
WARNING!
Sharp Edges Hazard
Equipment with sharp edges can cause
injuries. Use protective gloves when
grasping the edges of equipment.
WARNING!
Do not use silicone to seal B unit to
ductwork. The presence of silicone in UV
light will pollute the catalyst.
