APPLICATION When installed in forced air heating and cooling systems, the V-Flex kills airborne and surface microorganism contaminants. It is designed to be mounted in-duct for airborne, “on-the-fly” applications as well as surface irradiation applications. The design allows for many different levels of UV dosage. Proper dosage is affected by many factors, such as air temperature, velocity, and duct reflectivity. The space between supports (typically 32”) and the space between rows

Never look at the lamps while illuminated. Only view illumination by way of view port accessory. To prevent exposure to ultraviolet light, disconnect power to the V-Flex before servicing any part of the HVAC system. MOUNTING LOCATION CAUTION Equipment Damage Hazard Ultraviolet light can cause color shift or structural degradation of plastic HVAC materials. Select mounting location that prevents exposure to plastic components with unknown resistance to ultraviolet light. It is

2. Determine the number and configuration of Lamp Modules and Power Junction Modules. Note: the maximum number of Lamp Modules (19-1000) to be installed per Power Junction Module (19-1020) is 24. 3. Mark the location of the lower mounting bracket on the lower mounting surface of the installation area. 4. Measure overall length/height required for the installation (Figure 2a, dimension ‘A’). This dimension is the distance from the lower mounting surface to the upper mounting surface

8. Select one side of the Main Support to start assembly of lamp modules. Begin assembly of the Lamp Modules attachments first (see Figure 3b). Begin by installing the Lamp Module furthest from the Power Junction Module location. 9. Thread the three wires from the last Lamp Module installed to the main extrusion through the strain relief and into the wiring compartment of the next Lamp Module. 10. Route the external wires from the Lamp Modules into the Main Support wire raceway. Atta

20. After installation of the last Lamp Module on the side opposite of the Power Junction Module, route the power wires from the last Lamp Module installed through the feed through hole connecting the wire raceway from either side. Do not install lamps at this stage. (see Figure 3c for example of completely wired system) Figure 3c INSTALLATION OF THE POWER JUNCTION MODULE Figure 4a 21. Remove Power Junction Module cover. 22. Thread wires from last Lamp Module installed

IMPORTANT It is a requirement to incorporate the wire raceway covering to all exposed portions of the wire raceway on the mounting sides of the Main Support where modules have been mounted. 27. Identify, measure and record all spaces on the Main Support between Lamp Modules and the Power Junction Module (see Figure 2b). 28. Place the bare wire/raceway cover onto a horizontal surface in an appropriate work area. Mark off the dimensions corresponding to the gap dimensions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE SYSTEM WARNING Personal Serious Injury Hazard Power supply can cause severe electrical shock. Disconnect power supply before installation. All wiring should be in accordance with NEC. 1. Bring power to the Power Junction Module and use appropriate knock-out on the Power Junction Module. 2. Install power conduit connector. 3. Using supplied WAGO connector terminals, connect assembly wires to power supply. (Line in to black, neutral to white, and ea
