operatIon
The GeneralAire TERSus air purification system installs in the air-inlet side of any heating and air-conditioning
system up to five tons in size. Only operation of the air-handler fan unit is required for air purification and
sterilization to take place.
Note: The ultraviolet lamps are wired to operate continuously. This feature allows the catalyst to burn off surface
impurities, cleaning and reactivating itself during periods of non-use or no airflow. The cost of operation is less than
.07 cents per day. See operating cost section.
The GeneralAire TERSus air purification system combines three unique technologies to protect people against
indoor air pollutants. Photo catalytic technology (PCO) combined with high efficiency electrostatic MERV13
particulate filtration and germicidal ultraviolet light quickly reduces and eliminated toxic gas-phase chemicals,
lung damaging dust and airborne germs from the living environment.
Many new homes have smart programmable thermostats that allow for automatic operation of the air-handler fan
unit when there is no demand for heating or air conditioning. It is important that the GeneralAire TERSus air
purification system is operating at least 30 minutes per hour (24) hours per day to remove toxic materials from
the indoor environment.
The length of operation depends on the location of the home or office in relation to point source pollution such
as refineries, processing plants, automobile traffic and areas that produce high levels of pollen. Individuals that
are sensitive to mold spores, dust mites, chemicals or have respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema, and
chronic allergies should extend the run time to (40) minutes or more per hour.
