NOTE: Read the entire manual
before starting the installation.
Improper installation, adjustments, alterations, service,
maintenance, or use can cause fire, electrical shock,
personal injury or property damage. Consult your supplier
or Steril-Aire for information or assistance.
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION are universally used
for overall safety. DANGER identifies the most serious
hazards which will result in severe personal injury or
death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in
personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify
unsafe practices resulting in minor personal injury or
product and property damage.
WARNING: Before performing maintenance,
ensure unit is unplugged. Electrical shock can cause
death.
CAUTIONS:
Never expose eyes or skin to UVC light. Wear
gloves, face shield/glasses (per ANSI Z87.1) and
cover all exposed skin.
Do not touch EmitterTM glass without gloves.
Damage to Emitter may result. Oil from
fingerprints will permanently etch glass of
Emitter and weaken structure. Clean Emitter
using a Steril-Aire cleaning kit (included).
Isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free wipe may be
substituted.
UVC Emitters are fragile. Handle UVC Emitter
with care.
Voltages outside of the range designed for the
unit will void the warranty and do permanent
damage to the entire unit.
Emitters contain mercury. If an Emitter breaks,
clean and dispose of with the same care as a
fluorescent lamp.
UVC energy can damage non-metallic
components. Protect such components with UV
resistant material such as aluminum foil,
aluminum duct tape, metallic shields, etc.
The qualified installer or agency must use
factory kits and accessories when installing this
product.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Ensure mains at the power panel are turned off before connecting power to the controller. Apply any necessary
protection to assure that mains are not accidently turned on during the installation.
1) Make sure all the circuit breakers in the
controller are turned off.
2) Confirm the controller being installed is designed
for the line voltage and intended load(s). Check
labels, circuit breakers and fuse sizes before
installing.
3) Connect the door switch to two terminals on TB1
marked “DOOR”. The door switch is low voltage
24vac.

4) The enclosure meets type 4 approval for water
resistance. Use fittings that are consistent with
the environmental rating of the enclosure. Use
proper torque values.
5) When drilling holes, use caution as to not
damage internal components. Use the markers
inside the enclosure for safe drilling locations.
Ensure that holes are not close to each other
and away from the edge of the door to help
prevent cracking.
6) Remove the screws that secure the inner door.
This compartment should be opened by a

7) Connect BMS. BMS includes Door and/or
watchdog.
8) Connect Bank-1 and Bank-2. Ensure that both
banks carry relatively equal load for proper
watchdog operation. Ensure proper circuit
breaker and grounding wire torque
9) Connect Mains. Ensure proper circuit breaker
and grounding wire torque
10) Torque the circuit breakers CB1, CB2 & CB3.

Emitters need to be replaced every 9000 hours. Use Genuine Steril-Aire Emitters to maintain design output. If a Steril-Aire
UVC Radiometer Kit is used, the Emitters should be replaced when the output falls below 50% of initial output.
Use Genuine Steril-Aire replacement parts. Parts in this device were certified by one or more safety
originations such as UL, CE... Replacement parts not intended for this device may cause equipment failure or damage.
