3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION
The cartridge is shipped in the unit with a protective wrap covering. Prior to starting the unit, remove the protective wrap and reinstall the
cartridge following the instructions in "Changing the cartridge" on page 7.
3.2 MOUNTING
1. Choose a mounting location.
2. To ensure proper hole location, use the mounting bracket as a template.
A. Remove (2) screws from the right and left sides of the unit to separate the mounting bracket from the unit.
3. Secure the bracket using (4) nuts and bolts (not provided).
4. Secure the unit to the bracket by replacing the screws removed in step 2A.
Figure 3.2
NOTICE
Protective plastic wrap should not be removed from the cartridges until ready for installation as the
effectiveness of the molecular material starts degrading after exposure to oxygen.
Failure to remove the protective wrap from the cartridge prior to installation will cause the unit to
overheat and turn off due to lack of air flow.
WARNING
An inadequately secured unit may become dislodged as a result of a sudden stop or collision,
causing injury or equipment damage. To reduce the risk of injury:
• Mount the device on a surface material capable of supporting 50 pounds in the direction of truck
travel and 15 pounds in any other direction, per NFPA 1901.
• Use fasteners of a size, strength, and length adequate to securely hold the device.
NOTICE
To ensure proper air flow and function of the CrewProtect:
• Choose a location where there is at least 1” of free space around all air ducts.
• Keep air ducts free from obstruction by loose items such as clothing, paper, dirt, or equipment.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• Do not use the unit as a shelf.

3.3 WIRING
The CrewProtect 20 is wired to the truck electrical system, allowing continuous decontamination of cabin air while the truck is actively
powered. Use the provided wiring diagram to ensure proper wiring.
Figure 3.3
4.0 OPERATION
Because the CrewProtect 20 is wired directly to the truck electrical system, continuous air decontamination occurs the entire time the
truck is actively powered.
Regular cartridge replacement ensures optimal air decontamination. See section 6.0 on page 7 for cartridge lifecycle and replacement
instructions.
NOTICE
Always disconnect power before installing or servicing electrical components. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the circuit boards.
