SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use can cause fire, electrical shock, or other conditions
which may cause personal injury or property 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 all applicable 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 injury or
product and property damage.
WARNING: Before pre-evaluation, installation or servicing the X-Plus, turn off all power, there may be more than one (1) switch.
General:
1. The X-Plus fixture is NEMA 4X rated for outdoor use and can be used on the exterior and/or interior of air handlers and/or
ducts to bathe surfaces, moving air or both with UV-C energy. For surfaces locate the X-Plus at known growth areas such as
the coil and drain pan first, then other moist areas around humidifiers, etc. They can also be placed in return, supply and
mixed air plenums or any combination thereof. Perfect for all rooftop A/C equipment applications.
2. Check for power availability and probable service access.
Power Ratings:
The X-Plus is rated for 120-277Vac 50-60Hz. NOTE: Grounding should be neutral-to-ground. A 480V to 117Vac (75 VA) Step-
Down transformer is available from the factory. Contact UV Resources at 1-877-4HVAC or www.UVResources.com).
***Note: Use only ”400mA” (std. output) T5 diameter, 4- pin single ended lamps – sizes 17” – 61” with this product***
What’s Included:
•X-Plus NEMA 4X Fixture
•X-Plus installation Kit:
oInstallation Operation Manual (IOM)
oDoor Warning Label
oSelf-Drilling Mounting Screws (x4)
oDielectric Grease
Installation (designed for metal plenums only):
1. Consult all applicable codes before installing. Check fixture label(s) for the correct power requirements and supply the correct
voltage from a suitable, protected (fused or breaker), and grounded power source.
CAUTION: Using other than labeled voltage voids product warranty and may do damage to the entire system. Fixtures should be
operated continuously to avoid the growth of mold and bacteria during optimum conditions (AHU off).
2. Power must also be switched at all install access points with a properly rated, SPST interlock switch to completely de-
energize the assembly when its install location is accessed. Accesses are to have signs in appropriate languages alerting
maintenance personnel to the possible hazard of looking at, or exposing skin to UVC energy (English label provided).
3. Once the mounting location is identified, use the X-Plus Fixture housing as a template to mark lamp insertion hole on the
metal surface (mounting screw holes can be marked if necessary also).
4. Drill a 1-1/8” lamp hole using proper bit (step drill). CAUTION: Do not drill into refrigerant lines, electrical wires or fan, etc.
5. Align and insert the fixture “lamp support” into hole and attach to surface using 4 self-tapping/self-drilling screws (provided).
6. Note: UV-C energy may damage other plastic materials. Cover to protect wires, etc. using UV-C resistant materials (e.g.
aluminum tape and foil) when these items are in “line of sight” of UV-C energy.
Connecting Power:
1. Read fixture label – be sure to sum the power requirements when installing more than one
fixture. Wire with the proper ‘wire gauge’ in accordance with the NEC and local codes.
Note: one (1) step-down transformer is required per fixture, if used. Wire should be run thru
acceptable conduit.
2. Power-in must be interruptible at all UV access points using a properly rated, SPST
interlock switch to completely de-energize the UV lights when there location is accessed.
Note: The X-Plus has its own interlock switch, which is actuated to de-energize the fixture
when the fixture is opened.
3. Apply Entry Warning Labels on all access doors/ports/panels as indicated above (one included).

Installing lamps
1. Recommended: Before installing lamps they can be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth. If using a UV
Resources' EncapsuLamp™- this step is not necessary.
2. If the X-Plus is assembled, depress the plug catch and unplug the power cord, remove the screw and then the power supply;
3. Hold the Power Supply; unscrew the LampClamp™ from the Power Supply housing, twisting counter-clockwise and remove.
4. Coat the male 4- pin end of the lamp liberally with dielectric grease (supplied) and insert it into the power supply (note pin and
plug orientation - rectangle). Push all the way in until a positive stop is felt.
5. Slide the LampClamp™ over the end of the lamp – down to the threads. A Firm, finger tight twist holds the lamp secure.
6. Insert the Power Supply, with lamp installed, through the fixture hole and on into the cavity (plenum) to be irradiated.
7. Install the Power Supply screw to secure the Power Supply to the fixture and plug the power cord back into the power supply.
8. Replace X-Plus’s fixture lid and twist firmly until it stops - lock with a padlock if desired.
9. Energize the system and check to make sure that everything is working properly.
