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.

11
•Choose a location that has access to a 120V power outlet. An extension cord with ground pin
may be used if the supplied power cable is too short for your application.
Figure 4: Non-Ducted Ceiling Mounting
Figure 5: Ducted Ceiling Mounting

12
Permanent Ceiling Installation
Make the following considerations when choosing an appropriate placement location.
•The presents of structural components that will be needed to hold the B unit in place.
•Access to 120V AC power supply.
•Other fixtures in the vicinity of installation.
•Clearance from preexisting ductwork, beams, sprinklers, lights, or other above-ceiling fixtures.
•Return and supply grille locations.
•Ease of access for maintenance personnel.
•Install supply grill at least 10 feet away from return/filter grille.
1.) Determine a location for the B unit, above the ceiling for drop-tile or in free air for warehouse.
2.) Remove caster wheels from the base of the B unit.
3.) Attach Unistrut to the bottom of your B unit in place of the caster wheels. The Unistrut should
extend 4” on either side of the B unit and be able to support 250 lb.
4.) Make an opening in the ceiling grid to allow the B to be lifted into place. (24” x 48” minimum)
5.) Use 3/8” All-tread to bolt the Unistrut to the roof trusses. If there is no place to bolt all-thread rods
on the roof trusses, Unistrut can be attached to the roof trusses. The 3/8” All-tread rods can then be
bolted to this Unistrut.
6.) Using a lift, move the B into position. The B unit should be installed so that the lid can be easily
accessed for maintenance. installing the unit upside down is recommended for easier access.
7.) Run the 3/8” All-thread through the Unistrut and bolt down, ensuring the unit is level and not
twisted.
Skip to step 11 if duct work will not be installed. See Figure 4.
8.) Locate a place to install the return grill near the B unit intake. Be sure to use good judgement by
choosing a location with clearance from permanent duct work, beams, lights, sprinklers, or other
above-ceiling fixtures.
9.) Lift the return/filter grill section up above the ceiling tiles. You may need to angle the grille so that it
will fit thought the ceiling grid. Set the grill unit onto the grid carefully. You should see the 4”
particulate filter from the ground. Use the same guidelines to add more returns and supply(s) as
needed.
Note: Supply and return grilles not included. For consistency, it is normally recommended to choose
grilles that match the preexisting HVAC system grilles.
10.) Attach ductwork as shown in Figure 5. Insulate the exterior of B units that are installed in
locations that are not climate controlled. These locations include ducts in attics, on top of roofs, and
on the side of buildings.

13
Caution: B units that are exposed to fluctuating temperatures may allow water vapor to condense of
the interior or exterior of the duct. Condensation can cause corrosion of duct components and
electrical components.
Caution: Uninsulated ductwork can allow heat to be transferred between the duct and external air.
This can result in an unnecessary strain on the buildings HVAC system.
Caution: Leaks in ductwork can result in attic air being pulled into B unit. This can result in an
unnecessary strain on the buildings HVAC system.
Note: If ductwork is altered, installer must ensure that no leakage of UV light occurs because of
ductwork modifications! The B Unit is not designed to be integrated into the existing building HVAC
system!
11.) Connect unit to power. Plug in power cord to a 120 VAC power supply. The B can also be hard
wired. See Hard Wiring Instructions.
12.) Power on unit and check for leaks in duct work. All leaks should be sealed with Aluminum tape
and insulated.
Hard Wiring Instructions
Figure 6: Hard Wiring Diagram

14
Caution: 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.
•Use a 16 AWG, type C13 power cord.
•Have an electrician run power to the location of the B unit and install a junction box. Use a
minimum of 16 AWG cable. 14 AWG is preferable.
•Disconnect the power running to the junction box at the building fuse box before wiring.
•Use wire nuts to connect the ends of the power cord to the leads in the junction box. Line to
line (Black), neutral to neutral (White), and ground to ground (Green).
•Reconnect power once all wires have been connected and exposed wire has been insulated.
