ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The SR Max represents an evolution in whole home UV air purication. The high-efciency patented design destroys airborne
bio-chemical contaminants, while providing important user information with its LED status display. Installed into the return or
supply plenum, the Sanuvox proprietary process maximizes dwell (contact) time between the air and UV energy. With the ability
to treat homes up to 2,000 sq.ft., the patented technology rapidly puries the air and removes odors within the home.
For information or recommendations on how to size your specic application, please call SANUVOX at 1-888-726-8869.
COMPONENTS
How it Works
Contaminated air enters the SR Max parallel to the UV ‘J’ Lamp, thus increasing contact time with the UV energy. The Turbulator
spins and mixes the air around the UV ‘J’ Lamp. First, the UVV oxidizing section of the lamp, boosted by Cobalt, destroys
chemicals and odors. Then, the UVC germicidal section of the lamp destroys the biological contaminants. The Aluminum
Reector Chamber coated with cobalt amplies the UV energy for optimal purication. Finally, the treated air circulates through
the home.

3. To install the UV lamp, release the reecting tube by removing the 2
screws on each side.
4. While holding the porcelain end-cap (with 4 pins), carefully push the
white connector onto the four pins. The plug is designed so that it can
only be installed one way. You may have to rotate the socket 90° to line
up the pins with the holes. The connector will t into position.
NOTE: Too much force applied from the opposite end-cap may break
the lamp.

5. Slide the UV lamp porcelain end-cap (with 4 pins) through the clamp.
Once the UV lamp is inserted, release the clamp to x the lamp in place.
6. Once the UV lamp is installed, reinstall the reecting tube. It is important
to note that the air should rst ow through the turbulator before moving
in front of the UV lamp.
STEP 7
7. Prepare the duct (return or supply) for installation. Evaluate the ideal area
for installing the air purier. The reection chamber should always be
parallel to the airow. Ensure that the purier will t into the plenum and
position it keeping in mind to minimize plastic exposure to direct UV light.
CAUTION: Before installing or performing maintenance on the unit
or system, TURN OFF AND DISCONNECT the unit or system from
all power sources (there may be more than one switch to disconnect).

9. Place the frame into the opening made in the duct and use the 6 metal
screws provided in the installation kit to secure it in place. Use preferably
3 top and 3 bottom holes of the frame to insert the screws.
10. Finalize the SR Max installation in the duct by placing the unit into the
frame, guided with the alignment pins.
11. Secure the SR Max to the frame with the 4 remaining screws located in
the 4 corners of the SR Max cover.
8. Use the included metal frame to trace the outline onto the duct. Allow
for a 1/8" space around the marking as to allow the frame to sit properly
in the duct. The duct opening window should have the following
dimensions: 8.5" x 5.5".
12. Use the power cord of the unit to plug into a wall outlet
that provides the power, as indicated on the marking label
of the product. An extension cord may be used if there is
not a power outlet close to where the SR Max is installed.
Then wait for one minute before turning on the unit.
You are now ready to power ON your new
SR Max and enjoy great air quality
for you and your family.

How to Activate “Airow Detection” Function (Optional)
In “Default Mode” ( power is ON and unit operates normally), the SR Max lamp is always lit. If you activate the “Airow Detection”
function, the thermistor will detect airow and automatically turn the lamp ON or OFF as needed.
NOTE: This function is only for a certain type of HVAC furnace. When used on HVAC units with variable speed fans, this function
may cause strain on the lamp or even premature lamp failure. Your installer should know which mode is right for your unit.
Step by Step Function Activation
1. If your unit is powered ON, start by turning OFF the power switch.
2. Use a small object similar to a paper clip and insert it into the reset hole
in order to be able to press the reset button.
3. First turn ON the power switch and then, press the reset button. You
have 5 seconds from the moment the unit is powered to press the reset
button to activate the airow detection. Every time you press the button
you will notice that the LED color will either be “Blue” or “White”. Once
the LED is “Blue”, wait 5 seconds while holding the reset button for the
control circuit to save the setting.
4. From now on, the SR Max will only activate the lamp when the thermistor
detects airow in your duct system.
NOTE: The unit software is programmed to keep the lamp ON for 10
minutes after the airow has completely stopped.
