Steril-Aire RSE 2-10 Series Manual

CAUTION 1: TURN ALL POWER OFF. NEVER EXPOSE EYES OR SKIN TO UVC LIGHT FROM ANY SOURCE - WEAR GLOVES,
FACE SHIELD AND COVER ALL EXPOSED SKIN. DO NOT TOUCH EMITTER™ GLASS WITHOUT GLOVES.
CAUTION 2: INSTALL EMITTER TUBE BEFORE APPLYING POWER. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL TRIGGER THE "END-OF-LAMP-
LIFE CIRCUIT" AND THE EMITTER WILL FAIL TO LIGHT! IF THIS HAPPENS SHUT OFF POWER FOR 10 MINUTES, REINSTALL
/INSTALL EMITTER AND TURN POWER BACK ON. EMITTER WILL LIGHT.
NOTE: Read this entire instruction sheet before starting the installation. Made in USA
pWARNING
!
Before installing fixture or performing maintenance or service on
fixture, turn off main power switch to unit. Electrical shock can cause
injury or death. There may be more than one disconnect switch.
pCAUTION
!
Never expose eyes or skin to ultraviolet light from any source. After
installation, provide an interlock to turn off germicidal lamps when
access door is opened. Lamp must be offbefore entering HV
AC unit
to perform maintenance or service. Personal injury may result.
pCAUTION
!
Do not touch lamp glass without gloves. Damage to Emitter™ may
result. Oil from fingerprints will permanently etch glass of lamp and
weaken structure. Clean lamp after handling.
pCAUTION
!
Lamp contains a small quantity of mercury.If a lamp breaks, clean
and dispose of with care.
pCAUTION
!
Use only specified high-output, low temperature lamps with this
accessory.Use of a lower wattage or incorrect Lamp can result in
damage to accessory or lamp.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,
maintenance,or use can cause fire,electrical shock, or
other conditions which may cause personal injury or prop-
erty damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
or your supplier for information or assistance.
The qualified installer or agency must use factory kits or
accessories when installing this product. Refer to the
individual instructions packaged with kits or accessories
when installing them.
Follow all safety codes, wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Read all instructions thoroughly and follow any
warnings or cautions attached to any accessed area.
Consult local building codes and the National Electrical
Code (NEC) for special requirements.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING or
CAUTION. These words 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, which would result in minor personal
injuryor product and property damage.

4.0 OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
pCAUTION
!
Other voltages will void the warranty and do permanent damage to
the entire unit. Fixtures should be operated continuously to preclude
the development of mold and bacteria.
2
pCAUTION
!
Install Emitter tube before applying power. Failure to do so will
trigger the "end-of-lamp-life circuit" and the Emitter will fail to light!
Ifthis happens, shut off power for 10 minutes, reinstall/install
Emitter and reapply power. Emitter will light.
2.1 Emitters™ (lamps) may be installed in any
orientation to bathe an air stream or surfaces with
germicidal UVC energy. It is best that they be located at
known growth areas such as downstream of the cooling
coil and over the drain pan, or where best accommodates
the system. They may also be placed in a return air duct,
supply duct, mixed air plenum, point of delivery or any
combination thereof to suit the application.
2.2 When choosing the site, make sure that it can be
supplied with the necessary power requirements and
suitable physical access for service.
2.3 Reflecting UVC energy is recommended as it
enhances irradiance. Lining the UVC cavity with aluminum
allows photons to bounce reducing possible shadow areas
thus increasing efficacy.
2.4 Permanently installed radiometers are the
recommended choice for monitoring the relative output of
asensitive or large system for lamp change out. In
general, UVC installations are sized to allow for an
approximate 50% drop in total UVC output for mold
control. Consult factory specifications for infectious
disease control.
3.1 Consult all applicable codes before installing.
Checkfixture label(s) for the correct power requirements
and supply the correct voltage from a suitable,protected
(fused), and grounded power source.
3.2 The lamp access door or panel (if any) is to be
interlocked with the power source to turn Emitters off when
the panel is opened. It should have signs (provided) in
appropriate languages alerting maintenance personnel to
the possible hazard of looking at or exposing skin to UVC
energy. Service accesses may be equipped with a glass
or Lexan®windowto viewthe lamps.UVC energy will not
penetrate common glass or Lexan®.
3.3 UVC energy maydamage some plastics except
UV rated or HVAC style drain pans. Wrap suspect items
with alu-minum tape; use metallic conduit or use other
appropriate shielding where these items maybe in "line of
sight" of UVC.
3.4 Determine the most desirable location for the
intended use and install reflecting material. CAUTION: Do
not drill into coil, Freon lines or other mechanical
equipment.
3.5 Using the fixture base as a template, scribe and
then create two insertion holes, 1" diameter on the
mounting surface for the Emitters. Drill suitable holes for
each fastener (unless using self-taping screws). Using the
proper #10 fastener for your application, install fixture(s)
and wire in accordance with the applicable code.
3.6 Insert Emitter™ (lamp into the fixture without
touching glass with bare hands, if necessary clean using a
Steril-Aire cleaning kit (99% iso-propyl alcohol and a lint
free wipe may be substituted). Make sure the "O" ring is
pushed onto the white ceramic base of the Emitter.
Release the holding spring on the fix-ture base, lift it up
and install the Emitter by grasping the white base.
Carefully push the lamp through the fixture into the plenum
until seated. Hold in and lock in place by affixing the spring
wire fastener to its lances. Push on the power plug while
noting the rectangle orientation of the pins. Do not force.
Rotate 90 degrees if necessary.
3.7 Test all circuits and turn system on. A "blue hue"
will glowfrom each Emitter indicating that each fixture is
working. Caution: View only with all skin covered and
use a full-face mask.
3.8 Affix the included "WARNING LABEL" in plain
sight to the A/C unit. Protect labels against poor condi-
tions if necessaryand replace when worn.
3.9 Emitters must be changed annually or sooner to
maintain design output. The interval depends on the
application, on/off switches per day and/or hours used.
On/off cycles reduce the life of the Emitter. A UVC
Radiometer such as the Steril-Aire UVSR can moni-tor
UVC output to determine lamp change-out.
4.1 Generally,it is recommended that the Emitters
operate all of the time. That is why it is recommended that
they be plugged into an outlet or connected to the power
side of the fan controller.
4.2 Emitters need periodic replacement to maintain
design output. The change out basis depends on the
application, number of times switched per dayand/or
hours of operation. Replace Emitter tubes when output
falls to 50% of initial output (or as specified) by actual
radiometer measurements.
4.3 If a radiometer is not available, Emitter(s) should
be replaced after 9,000 hours of continuous use.
minum
seconds,
Steril-Aire UV Radiometer Kit can monitor UVC output to
determine lamp change-out.
3.6 Locate Emitter without touching glass with bare
hands and clean using a Steril-Aire Cleaning kit. Make
sure the "O" ring is pushed onto the white ceramic base of
the Emitter. Release the holding spring on the fixture
base, lift it up and install the Emitter by grasping the white
base. Carefully push the lamp through the fixture into the
plenum until seated. Hold in and lock in place by affixing
the spring wire fastener to its lances. Push on the power
plug while noting the rectangle orientation of the pins. Do
not force. Rotate 90 degrees if necessary.

SYMPTOM
Emitter™ Does Not Light
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Ensure that fixture cover is affixed to base and that it trips the interlock switch.
2. Ensure that on/off switch is set to on.
3. Turn off power for 10 minutes, and then turn power back on.
4. Replace Emitter with new unit. Normal replacements recommended once per year.
5. Check line voltage.
6. Check wiring to Emitter.
7. Replace power supply.
5.2 Low Output (Radiometer Reading)
or Visibly Weak Light
1. Replace Emitter with new unit.
2. Check line voltage.
