TECHPURE 24V GERMICIDAL UV SYSTEM INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL
UV INSTALLATION NOTES
This device is meant only to be installed in
the duct portion of the HVAC system.
If the UV device is installed on the inlet side
(return air side) of a coil, make sure that the
HVAC system is configured such that the
blower is located between the return air filter
and the in-let of the coil, such as would be
found in a traditional up-flow, or horizontal
furnace with the coil placed after the heat
exchanger.
If the UV device is installed near an air filter,
check with filter manufacturer for UV-C
resistance properties. Optional lamp shield
accessory is available to protect air filter. Ask
your local wholesaler.
If the desired UV installation location is
intended to irradiate an air filter, to neutralize
the microbiological matter on the air filter
surface, such as would be found in the
return air drop of a basement application or
in the return plenum of a horizontal system
in an attic; take precautions as described in
note above, and make sure the UV fixture
is placed on the return side of the filter. DO
NOT INSTALL THE UV FIXTURE ON EITHER
SIDE OF THE FILTER IN HALL / CLOSET
RETURN AIR APPLICATIONS.

24V INSTALLATION NOTES
Installing the 24V UV fixture may require an upgrade to the 24V transformer in the furnace,
or air handler, depending upon the capacity of the OE specified by the manufacturer of the
AHU / furnace.
1. Verify the available volt amps prior to connecting the UV fixture to the 24V circuit.
Energize all 24V components so they reach their maximum amp load (Straight cool system
- activate cooling. Heat pump - activate heating mode.)
2. After obtaining the available volt amps, determine if the existing transformer can
accommodate a 1.4 amp load:
3. After installing the UV fixture, energize all 24V components at their full amp draw,
including the UV fixture, and ensure that all systems are operational and that fuses remain
intact.
4. RECOMMEND CONNECTING TO A DEDICATED 40VA CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER IF
EXISTING TRANSFORMER CANNOT ACCOMMODATE AMP LOAD RECOMMENDED
ABOVE.
NOTICE
Fully Seat Lamp Connector.
Failure to properly seat lamp connec-
tor could result in improper lamp
operation and/or compromise water
resistance.
