GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The ReplaceAIR UV-C HE High Efficiency air-
cleaner is a stand-alone portable air cleaner. It has been designed
for use in classrooms and meeting rooms. Also, it is used anywhere
it is desired to minimize airborne pathogens from the ambient air.
The air cleaner draws dirty air from underneath the top cover, then
the air travels down inside the unit, cleaned with a two-stage
process. First, a disposable filters and then a primary UV-C emitter
bulb. Cleaned air exhausts from the bottom.
FIRST STAGE: The first cleaning stage consists of High Efficiency
disposable filters that are installed directly underneath the top
cover. First, a MERV 5 pre-filter, then two MERV 13 main filters.
These remove a higher range of particulates, including larger
amounts of bacteria and even some viruses, and they are best for
people suffering from breathing problems. Designed for their high
capturing capacity, they still maintain a low resistance to airflow. A
carbon pre-filter is optional.
PRIMARY STAGE: The primary cleaning stage uses UV-C light energy.
Ultraviolet C is a form of UV electromagnetic radiation with a
wavelength of 253.7 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer
than X-rays. A high percentage of the airstream pathogens are killed
from proximity to the emitter bulb.
CONSTRUCTION: The cabinet is built primarily from Type 304 stainless steel. Unit ships completely assembled, is
easy to operate, and is simple to maintain. The base unit has approximate dimensions of 15” x 14” x 21” high,
which includes four swivel casters. The unit has a lighted power switch and 110V grounded power cord.
OPERATION: Lift the unit straight up out of the box, and place on the floor. Locate the unit in place, plugging cord
directly into a grounded wall outlet if possible. The power requirement is 110V @ 2.5A . Use only extension cords
that are 12-14 ga. and grounded. Use the green main rocker switch to power the unit on. Turn the main power
switch off when not using unit. The UV-C emitter bulb has a degrading service life, and the unit should be turned off
when not needed to clean the air.

ACCESS TO INSIDE: From the top, you can access the filter and the UV-C emitter bulb. UNPLUG UNIT FIRST, YOU MUST NOT
LOOK AT LIGHTED BULB DIRECTLY. Wear appropriate gloves and mask to protect you from any possible pathogens. Remove
the four Phillips head screws and lift the top cover off.
CHANGING THE FILTER: The filters will last for differing amounts of time, depending on air quality and duration of use. You
will notice diminished airflow when the filter needs to be changed. It is easiest to feel airflow down at the floor, where the
air is exhausted. When you open the top cover, you will see the dirty side of the filters pointing up. Pull the dirty filters up
and straight out the front. Install new filters making sure the airflow arrows on the filters are all pointing down. Place top
cover on, and screw the four screws back in.
INSPECTING THE EMITTER BULB: All UV-C bulbs degrade over time during use. Our UV-C emitter bulb has a service life of
7,000-9,000 hours. If the unit is operated regularly for 10 hour days, it is conceivable the bulb will last about 2-3 years. Even
if the bulb still gives light, the UV-C released may be degraded, and you must replace it for best efficiency.
CHANGING THE EMITTER BULB: The emitter bulb is located underneath the filters. Please handle with care, it is very fragile.
Wearing clean cotton gloves, or with a clean tissue, keep the bulb glass as clean as possible. Remove the old one, and
carefully replace with a new bulb. Reinsert the filters (airflow is downwards) and replace cover and screw the four screws
back in.
