err is designed to operate with any heating or air-
conditioning system, up to five tons in size. It is rated for use at standard ambient
air temperatures during heating and air-conditioning functions. It is not rated for
operation at elevated air temperatures in excess of 125 F.

S uses a four-stage process to purify indoor air:
1.
Electrostatic MERV-11 Filter - removes 0.3 micron allergens and dust
2.
Reactive Catalyst - destroys VOC’s, toxic chemicals and odors
3.
UVC Germicidal Light - kills germs, viruses and bacteria on contact
4.
Negative Ions and Activated Oxygen - keep air fresh and clean
Air purification and sterilization occur whenever the HVAC system fan is operating.
The ultraviolet UVC lamps are always on. They continuously clean and reactivate the
catalyst by burning off surface impurities during periods of non-use, or no airflow.
Do not attempt to clean the photo-catalytic honeycomb core with cleaning solutions.
It is recommended that the C

S operate at least 30 minutes per hour, 24 hours
per day, to remove toxic materials from an indoor environment. For individuals who
may be sensitive to mold spores, dust mites or chemicals, or have respiratory
problems such as asthma, emphysema and chronic allergies, the operating time
should be extended to 40 minutes or more per hour. The actual time of operation
depends on many factors, including the level of ambient pollution or pollen levels,
and individual sensitivity to allergens.
It is recommended that a programmable thermostat be used. These can be set to
provide continuous air circulation, and thus air purification, even when the HVAC
system is not calling for heating or cooling.
In the event an existing thermostat does not have the capability to operate the fan
independently, it is recommended that an AirCycler be installed. An AirCycler
is a device that is wired in parallel with existing thermostat wiring, and can be
programmed to turn on the HVAC system fan for any desired time interval. A built-
in memory chip tracks the time that a fan operates every hour, and energizes the
fan only if normal requirements for heating and air conditioning have not cycled the
fan unit long enough to meet pre-determined air purification requirements.
An AirCycler may be purchased from the following sources:
•
Your local HVAC wholesaler or contractor
•
Shelter Supply, Lakeville, MN (1-800-762-8399)

1.
Never look into a burning ultraviolet lamp without proper eye protection, as
severe eye damage may result.
2.
Always unplug the power cord from the unit when changing the filter or ultra-
violet UVC lamps.
3.
Do not attempt to clean the photo-catalytic honeycomb core with cleaning
solutions. The catalyst is constantly radiated by short wave ultraviolet UVC
light during operation, and is self-cleaning.
