UVC LLC SHO Super High Output Kit Installation Guide

Must use cable strain reliefs per instructions
The strain reliefs must be installed within 4- inch of the lamp plug and every 3 feet of
exposed wire.
Failure to install strain relief may result in failure of lamp and ballast connectionLamp wire must not be allowed to be unsupported, or damage may occur
Installing strain relief within 4-inches of lamp plug also acts as a lamp interlock, that
disconnects power upon removal of lamp avoiding shock hazard and UV light exposure

⚠ General installation information
⦁ Only a licensed professional, trained in UVC for HVAC should perform the installation.
⦁ Unit must be installed in accordance with all applicable governing codes.
⦁ Read all safety instructions in this manual.
Failure to do so could lead to death, personal injury, and/or equipment damage.
⦁ Read the installation manual for the equipment on which the UV lamps are being installed, for additional information and warnings.
⦁ Wiring and branch circuit protection must be provided by the installer and follow National Electric Code (NEC) latest edition.
⦁ Install door interlock safety switches if required, on all access doors where exposure to UV light can occur.
⦁ Install power disconnect switch for UV system.
Where to install:
Install the UV lamps when possible, in the largest part of the plenum, duct or HVAC system for Maximum Kill.
The same UV lamps can be used to kill germs in the air stream or mold and slime on the coils, depending on the placement of the lamps.
Many applications may require multiple lamps. “The more lamps the Higher the kill Rate.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all applicable local and national electrical and local building codes are complied with in the installation and operation.
⚠ WARNING: NEVER EXPOSE EYES OR SKIN TO UV RAYS.
Electrical requirements:
⦁ Disconnect the power to HVAC system to avoid electrical shock hazard.
⦁ Locate a 120 or 220 Single Phase 50/60 Hz fusible (15 amp) electrical supply,
⦁ (Do not connect to 3-phase power, 460 or 277 VAC or damage will occur)
⦁ Install or add 15-amp circuit protection and disconnect switch for the ballast (check with local electrical codes).
⦁ If installed on a 3-phase system, 460 vac, the use of a step down UL listed transformer can be used. Check with electrical codes for approved installation of this device.
⦁ It is recommended that the UVC lamps are powered “ON” at all times for maximum lamp life and not cycled with the fan or the HVAC system.
⦁ High cycling more than 2 times per day will reduce the life of UV lamps. • Energy consumed is < 100 watts per lamp (depending on model)
Installation:
⦁ Ballast cannot be installed inside the duct or plenum unless enclosed in an approved plenum rated box. National Electrical Code.
⦁ Whenever possible mount ballasts inside the electrical cabinet of the HVAC system.
⦁ If the ballast is mounted outside in a separate electrical box, IT MUST BE IN A VENTED ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE TO AVOID OVER HEATING in hot climates, do not mount in direct sun.

PROTECT ALL WIRES, PLASTICS, MOTOR WIRES, BELTS FROM UV RAYS.
UV rays may damage plastics over time.
This is accomplished by shielding the wiring or other component, with foil tape, metal conduit, or sheet metal.
