Do not operate unit in ambient temperatures above 150˚ F. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN Only use the power adapters included with the purification system. WARNING: UV LIGHT HAZARD. Harmful to skin and eyes. Can cause temporary or permanent loss of vi- sion. Never look at the lamp while illuminated. To prevent exposure to ultraviolet light, be sure the power is disconnected until installation is com- pleted and before servicing. UV lamps contain Hg (Mercury). High or long term exposure to Hg can lead to serious health risks. UV lamps should be disposed of according to disposal laws in your area. UV lamps should never be disposed via standard waste receptacles. They often break when thrown into a dumpster, trash can or compactor, or when they end up in a landfill or incinerator. Learn more about proper disposal methods and find disposal centers at www. earth911.org. Never touch UV lamp with bare hands. Oils from your skin can create hot spots causing UV lamp to break when illuminated. Never remove the outer housing of any components. Cooling Vents WARNINGOPTICAL RADIATION EXPOSURE HAZARD DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT PROPERLY INSTALLING UNIT FIRST. PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE MAY RESULT. 1
Status Indicator Lights The nano Induct contains a smart ballast which provides a warm-up period then checks for correct operation and continuously watches for any fault condition. Lamp startup is a controlled process. First the lamp is preheated using the internal filaments for a preheat duration of less than 4 seconds. Once the preheating pe- riod is over the bulb should be lit. After 8 seconds the bulb is continuously checked for correct operation. Should a fault be detected the Red LED will start flashing. The number of repeat- ing blinks will indicate the type of fault. This ballast continuously monitors the temperature and frequency of the power converter circuit. Al- most all faults will result in either an over tempera- ture condition or the power converter not operating at the nominal design frequency. If a fault condition is detected the Red LED will flash. The number of repeating flashes indicates the type of fault. “Lamp Status” Indicator Green Unit has power, ballast and UVC lamp are operating correctly. Red The Red LED indicates a fault condition. Details of the fault can be detected by counting the number of repeating flashes. 2 flashes is an over temperature condition, 3 flashes is a UVC lamp fault or open cir- cuit, more than 3 flashes is an internal circuit fault. “Lamp Replacement” Indicator Blue Solid The Blue LED is on during normal operation.The UVC lamp is within its two year life span. No action is needed. Blue Flashing The UVC lamp is outside its two year life span, output has decreased and it should be replaced. No Lights Illuminated The unit is not properly connected to the power supply. Status Indicator Lights 2
Power Adapter The nano Induct is powered using a 26 VDC power adapter with a rated input volt- age of 100 - 240 VAC. The adapter connects to a 110 or 230 VAC 3 amp power cord. For your safety and to ensure proper function of your nano Induct we recom- mend that ONLY the power adapter included with the original purchase be used. Placement and Installation Placement Suggestions The nano Induct units are designed to be installed within the duct of an HVAC sys- tem. We recommend they be mounted on the supply side plenum. • We recommend you leave the Rotational UV Shields in the closed position. The shields should only be opened for specialized applications. • The nano Induct should not be installed in extremely close proximity to heat strips or other heat sources. Polymers can begin to soften at approximately 250˚F. • Ensure you install the correct model for the job. • NIND6 - up to 3 tons (1200 CFM) • NIND9 - 4 to 6 tons (1600 - 2400 CFM) • NIND14 - 7+ tons (2800+ CFM) • Multiple units may be needed in larger air handlers or areas of higher contamination. 3
Preparing to Install The nano Induct was designed to be simple and effective. Remove the unit, power adapter, power cord, and mounting hardware from the box. We recommend keep- ing the box and all packaging material for shipping the unit should it ever need to be returned for repairs. Installation Instructions Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment. Air Oasis and its affiliates are not responsible for any damage to the HVAC system, nano Induct or injury to yourself or others if you elect to install the device without utilizing qualified technicians. Use the suggestions on page 3 to determine the optimal mounting location(s). To complete the installation process we recommend the following tools: • Power Drill • 3 3/4” inch hole saw • 1/4 inch hex head screw driver 1. Cut a 3 3/4” hole in the duct where the device will be mounted. Center the hole ensuring there will be at least a 5” diameter of duct around the outside of the hole. If mounting on a horizontal fiberglass duct board we recommend inserting the nano Induct from the top side of the plenum to allow gravity to help secure the unit in place. 3 3/4” 5” 4 2. We recommend leaving the UV Shields closed. Should you choose to open the shields, place one hand on the Distal Cap and the other on the Outer UV Shield. Rotate the Distal Cap clock- wise while rotating the Shield counter clockwise until the desired position is reached. Rotation will require firm pressure. Outer UV Shield Distal Cap Ballast Cover
3. Clean a one inch area around the hole where the NIND will be mounted. Re- move the wax paper from the gasket. Insert the NIND into the 3 3/4” \ hole, aligning the cross hairs parallel to the duct. Press firmly on the Retainer Ring to adhere the gasket to the duct. 4. If installing on fiberglass duct board place aluminum tape ring over the Retainer Ring to help secure the unit. 5. Firmly press the Ballast Assembly onto the four pins protruding from the AHPCO Cell. The Ballast Assembly should be orientated with the “air flow” label running parallel with the length of the duct to ensure the four pins are in line with the\ Four Pin Connector. Optional mounting configurations, such as opening the UV shields, may vary the orientation of the “air flow” label. It’s only intended to serve as a gen- eral guideline.
