NOTICE:
Ultravation coil irradiation equipment is designed for installation in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems.
It is recommended a trained technician install this unit. Installation near an A/C coil will help keep the coil free of microbial
growth and eliminate odors associated with such growth. The UVMatrixTM SI is designed to operate constantly and should
not cycle on and off with a blower motor. The preferred location to install the unit is on the supply side of the evaporator coil
exiting the HVAC system. Placement between 4-24 inches to the coil surface assures less untreated area as shown below:
Shipping and Packaging List:
•2 Electrical Housing
•2 Expandable Poles
•4 ¼x20 Phillips head pole screws
•UVC Warning Label
•Warranty Card
•Center Lamp Support
•Appropriate Quantity of Lamps
•Appropriate Quantity retaining nuts
•1 Grommet per retaining nut
•4 –“L” Brackets for optional mounting
•8 –¾” Self tapping mounting screws
It is recommended that this unit be installed and
maintained by a trained technician.
The UVMatrixTM SI Series systems are required to be
wired from a disconnect switch so the power can be
turned off for maintenance.
It is recommended that the UVMatrixTM SI Series systems
be wired through a safety interlock switch that will
disengage power to the equipment in the event that a
door or access panel is opened.
In the event of accidental breakage or replacement of the
ultraviolet lamp, please ensure that the lamp is disposed
of in accordance with local and state environmental laws
regarding fluorescent lamps containing mercury.
Safety Precautions:
WARNING: UV hazard. Always protect eyes from
ultraviolet light. NEVER look at UV lamps in
operation. Unplug or disconnect power
before re-lamping or servicing.
WARNING: No openings in the air handler or duct are
allowed which would give direct line-of-sight
to the UV light.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard. Ultraviolet light
can cause shift or surface degradation and
sometimes structural degradation of non-
metallic components. Select mounting
location that prevents exposure to plastic
flexible duct components, polyurethane
foam, insulation material, rubber hoses, wire
insulation, etc. If mounting options are
limited, items above should be protected with
ultraviolet resistant material such as
aluminum foil, aluminum tape, or metallic
shields.

Lamp Installation:
1.Ensure grommet is securely in retaining cap. Clip end of
lamp (opposite end of pins) into center support arm in
appropriate location.
2.Line up the lamp pins with the lamp connector which is
housed outside the power supply housings but inside
retaining nut.(keeping in mind that the pin configuration is
not square, so lamp pins must be aligned with lamp
connector)
3. Plug lamp into lamp connector. Make sure lamp is
connected my pulling on the lamp slightly. Cotton gloves
should be worn at all times when handling lamps. (finger
prints on the lamps can cause hot spots which could cause
premature lamp failure)
Installation Steps:
1. In most cases the UVMatrixTM SI adjustable rack will
need to be assembled inside the air handler, bring
components into air handler to begin assembly.
2. Connect the adjustable horizontal support tubing using a
single screw (supplied) at each end of the tubing. (Total 4)
3. Extend vertical power supply housings outward until the
entire coil surface is exposed by the UVC lamps.
4. Clip center lamp support arm onto the adjustable tubing
in the center of the UV Assembly.
5. Secure equipment into place by mounting directly to the
coil frame or using support brackets (Supplied).
6. Have a qualified electrician supply 120V or 277V to the
supplied terminal strip located under the cover of each
power supply housing. Each power supply housing is
shipped with a liquid tight connector attached –Liquid tight
MUST be utilized when installing the equipment on the
inside of an air handler to prevent moisture from getting
inside the electrical housing. If liquid tight is not utilized
it will VOID the warranty.
The UVMatrixTM SI Series systems are required to be wired
from a disconnect switch so the power can be turned off for
maintenance. It is recommended that the UVMatrixTM SI
Series systems be wired through a safety interlock switch
that will disengage power to the equipment in the event that
a door or access panel is opened.
7. Place supplied warning label on access panel to reduce
the risk of UVC exposure. If additional labels are required
please contact Ultravation at 1-866-468-8247.

Troubleshooting:
The Ultravation air disinfection equipment is designed to
provide many years of trouble free operation. In the unlikely
event of a problem, please contact your local dealer or
Ultravation directly. Before calling for service, please be
sure that:
1. Unit has 120V or 277V power
2. Power disconnect is in the ON position
3. Lamps are securely plugged into their sockets
Please contact your local dealer or Ultravation directly for
replacement lamps.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Maintenance:
Maintenance typically consists of replacing of the ultraviolet
lamps every one year. Lamps should be kept clean; time
intervals required to accomplish this is dependent on the
application and environment.
UV lamps undergo a photochemical process during
operation. This slowly reduces the amount of UV light
generated to disinfect against airborne pathogens. At the
end of one year, the UV lamps will emit 40% less energy
than when the lamp was 100 hours old.
When installing new lamps, ensure that the lamp glass is
free from any fingerprints or debris, as this may alter the
path of the UV energy. Use rubbing alcohol and a dry cloth
to remove any surface contaminants.
