Operation Principles & Technology

Scientific studies say:
The entire UV spectrum can wipe out or neutralize many microorganism species, preventing them from replicating. UVC energy at 253.7 nanometers provides the ideal germicidal effect. A combination of UVC + UVA is very effective at disinfection as well as odor removal. When exposing microorganisms to UVC light, the light penetrates through their cell wall and disrupts the structure of their DNA molecules, prohibiting reproduction.Keep in Mind
Prolonged exposure to direct LED UV Light may be harmful to eyes & skin

Indirect exposure (blue glow) is not harmful

Introduction to UVC Mini Kits

UVC MINI KITS are an innovative application of UV disinfection in Mini-Splits and other space-limited systems.
It is normally used to disinfect an air conditioning system, by halting any bio-growth on fan, coils and other surfaces, and related bad odors. It helps substantially to maintain a clean, fresh air conditioner system, improve the indoor air quality, extends life span, and reduces maintenance cost. Because space is tight and sufficient exposure of surfaces are required, the UVC MINI KITS is best installed inside the supply vent with the light shining onto the blower wheel (which is prone to contain concentrated mold growth).

CAUTION UV LED LIGHT
Prolonged exposure to direct LED UV light may be harmful to eyes & skin.
Disconnect power before servicing. Indirect exposure (blue glow) is not harmful.
IMPORTANT!
Install LED strip so that the light shines into the air system, not into the room.

Air System Preparation Before Installation

  1. Remove the cabinet cover
  • Disconnect Power Supply
  • Detach filters
  • Dismantle the LED display assembly
  • Open the control box cover
    2b. For systems with the non-removable drain pan, remove the louvers and grills to access.
    2a. Detach drain pan to access the area behind it.

    3. Unless not required, drill a 2/3 hole to pass connector cable to the back. (By the side of the control box)
  • IMPORTANT! Disconnect the power supply before you do anything on the installation!

Mounting the UVC LED Strip

  1. Determine the best location
    Clean with cloth for any dust/dirt
    Clean out with an alcohol wipe
  2.  If needed, cut the strip into the length
    that best Its into the space. (Cut-to-length instruction is provided in this manual)
  3. Peel off paper from the adhesive backing on the LED strip. Do this a few at a time and press it down firmly onto the clean surfaces.

IMPORTANT

  • Place the LED strip so the light will shine onto the blower wheel
  • Cut the strip only following the instructions by the manufacturer
  • DON’T AIM THE UV LIGHT INTO THE ROOM

Install the Light Shield Strip

UVC light shield strip is designed by the manufacturer and recommended to be installed with the UV LED strip. It is adhesive with a special material, to shield these lights which may be exposed INTO THE ROOM.
To install, simply peel off the paper from the adhesive side and stick it firmly to the UV LED strip, with an angle of 90°, upright.

Electric Installation Preparation

Electrical Installation

1. Remove the control box cover and connect the UV LED Driver power cable with the following:

Notice: UVC MINI KIT comes with a wide voltage 85-265VAC power supply.
2a. Connect the UV LED DRIVER cable connector to the strip directly, only if the model is not equipped with either a wired or remote controller. 2b. If equipped with wired control, connect the UV LED DRIVER cable to one end of the wired control, and the other end to the UV LED Strip.2c. If equipped with a wireless controller, connect the UV LED DRIVER cable to one end of the RF receiver, and the other end to the UV LED Strip.

Electrical Installation
3. Tuck the power cable into the line chase on the back of the unit or place it under the control box or other secure location.

4. T urn on the power supply and confirm that the UVC MINI KIT is working.
5. Apply the UV Warning Sticker to a proper location.

CAUTION
UV LED LIGHT
Prolonged exposure to direct LED UV light
may be harmful to eyes & skin.
This unit is equipped with an LED UV light disinfection system.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Indirect exposure (blue glow) is not harmful

Cut-to-length Instruction

Actual Length = air outlet vent length which determines the required actual “L”. Locate the best cutting point
First Cut Point(Most Recommended)

  1. Determine how long you need to cut.
    10 cm is a LED Modular Cycle.

2. Cut from the end without the cable! Take off the bushing and prepare to cut.

3. Cut from the First cut point (two copper fin) if >=10cm.If < 10cm, cut at the second point.
4. Seal the end with the bushing, tightly, make sure not to wrinkle the inner LED strip circuit.

Concepts to know
One UV modular cycle is 10cm, which includes UVC(1)+UVA(4)

IMPORTANT
Factory Pre-Cut Services are not available at this time.
