INSTALLATION
MANUAL
Location
The preferred installation location for the purifier is in the return duct as the air will be treated before the filter and HVAC coil. If it is not possible to
install in the return duct, it may be installed in the supply duct. The black Control Panel section of the purifier is installed on the outside of the duct.
Make sure site can be supplied with the necessary power requirements. The R4000 have a power consumption of 35 watts and require a 110/220V,
50-60 Hz power source. Insure that there is adequate clearance for service. If a humidifier is present, the air purifier should be installed in the air
stream before the humidifier and the humidifier must be protected from UV rays.
NOTE: The Ballast has been factory set at 110 Volts. If the power source is 220 Volt, the switch on the ballast must be changed to the 220 volt
position, and the plug at the end of the wire set (R4000GX) fit with a 110/220 volt adapter, or cut off and wired into the 220 volt circuit.
The operating temperature range is 40 to 150 F. Operating the models outside this range will result in decreased performance.
NOTE: The Purifiers are NOT waterproof. If installing outdoors, the purifiers must be installed in a watertight enclosure.
IMPORTANT AIRFLOW INFORMATION: The R4000GXB must be hardwired into the HVAC system. The R4000GX is energized from a
pressure differential caused by airflow through the duct. The pressure switch is factory set to a differential of 0.05in. Ensure that there is a sufficient
differential to activate the switch. As well, take into account that the differential will decrease as the air filter loads.
The R4000GX Control Panel must be installed in a vertical upright position for the air sensor to function properly. If the R4000GX Control
Panel is to be installed in a horizontal position, or the differential is not sufficient, the air sensor must be bypassed by disconnecting the two
leads on the pressure switch and joining them together with a wire nut and wiring the R4000GX into the fan circuit or the EAC terminal.
The 6” square aluminum tube can be rotated in 90 degree increments in order for the backplate and Control Panel front cover to face upward
(verticle). To rotate the aluminum tube, open the front cover of the purifier. Loosen the hex head nut. Grasp the aluminum tube and rotate it in 90
degree segments. The tube will lock at each 90 degree segment. When the correct rotation is found, tighten the hex nut.
VACUUM Sensor: The vacuum sensor tube is located on the backplate of the R4000GX inside a 90 degree chrome elbow. The end of the tube must
face away from the airflow. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the nut inside the control panel that holds the elbow. Rotate elbow so that it will
face away from the airflow. Tighten the nut.
OPERATION OF THE R4000GX: The R4000GX has an on-off switch and a circuit breaker located at the bottom of the front cover. To operate,
press the switch to the “on” position. The switch has a light to indicate that there is power. If there is no indicator light on, check the outlet for
power, and check the R4000GX circuit breaker. Start the HVAC fan. The R4000GX detects airflow with the vacuum sensor. The R4000GX will
only operate when the fan is on (airflow through plenum) and there is a pressure differential of at least 0.05 in.
LED Indicators
There are 4 LED indicators on the front panel. When the R4000GX is
plugged in and the on/off switch is “on”, the “Power” LED will be lit.
If the “Sensor” LED” does not come on when the fan is energized,
either the pressure switch is defective, or there is not enough of a
pressure differential in the duct to “pull in” the diaphragm. When the
pressure switch energizes, the “Sensor On” LED light will be lit. If
the Ballast LED is on and the Lamp LED is off, the UV lamp is not
functioning. If both LED lights are off (Ballast & Lamp), the ballast is
not functioning.
Use only specified replacement Lamps with you Purifier. Use
of an incorrect Lamp can result in damage to the Purifier
and/or Lamp.
WARNING
Ultra-violet light may damage certain plastics and exposed non-UVC protected wires. If any plastic or wires are within
the light exposure area, wrap exposed plastic and wiring with aluminum tape or metal conduit.

Before installing or performing maintenance or
service on the purifier, turn off main power switch to
unit. Electrical shock can cause injury or death. There
may be more than one disconnect switch.
Never expose eyes or skin to ultraviolet light from any
source. The Purifier MUST be DISCONNECTED from
power source before performing maintenance or
service. Personal injury may result.
Do not touch Lamp glass without gloves. Reduced
performance of Lamp may result. Clean Lamp after
handling.
Use only specified replacement Lamps with you
Purifier. Use of an incorrect Lamp can result in damage
to the Purifier and/or Lamp.

WARNING
The UV Lamp contains a small quantity of mercury. If a
Lamp breaks, clean and dispose of with care.

Trouble-Shooting the UV Lamp
Checking the UV Lamp
Sanuvox Ultraviolet Lamps are built to the highest standards. If the
RED LED (Ballast) is lit and the AMBER LED (Lamp) is not lit, it is
important to check the Lamp to insure that it is not a defect in the Lamp
Sensing Circuit in the Ballast. This is done by using an ohmmeter to
check the two filaments on the Lamp.
Disconnect the socket from the Lamp.
Placing the probe of the ohmmeter to one of the four pins on the end of
the Lamp, touch the other probe of the ohmmeter to each of the other
pins until you find the matching pin. The ohmmeter will read
approximately 3 ohms (almost a short). This indicates that the filament
is good. Check the other two pins. If both sets of filaments test OK, the
Lamp is functioning. If one or both sets of filaments read an open
circuit (infinity) on resistance, the Lamp must be replaced.
Please note that the R4000GX ballast was changed in 2009. Those
R4000GX manufactured prior to 2009 had the following LED colors:
Power = RED / Ballast = GREEN / Sensor = AMBER / Lamp = BLUE
