GeneralAire GUV2000 - Manual (Page 4)

INSTALLATION
• Best results are achieved when the unit is installed where the HV AC system air temperature is most constant.
Therefore, the preferred installation is on the return side of the furnace. If return side installation is not possible,
install the unit on the supply side, keeping it as far from the heat/cooling source as possible, and in the main airstream.
• Do not locate the unit within 20” of any plastic material that will be directly exposed to the UV light, such as
a return side humidifier or certain types of air filters. Check with the filter manufacturer to see if their material is
UV resistant. Over time, UVlight will degrade many plastic materials.
• Do not touch the glass portion of the lamps with bare hands because oils from the hands can cause “hot spots”
which reduce lamp life. Handle either by the porcelain caps or use a soft cloth. If you accidentally touch a
lamp, wipe it off, using a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol.
1. Cut out the opening indicated by a dotted line on the installation template. (See insert)
2. Center template on the longitudinal axis of the plenum using tape to hold it in place.

size nut driver to remove the top and bottom
retaining nuts and set aside.
5. Attatch the titanium reactor panel to back of

(as indicated in photo A.) Use an 11/32 size nut
driver and the 8-32 keps nuts packaged with sheet
metal screws and fasten securely
6. Attach unit to air duct using the four
sheet metal screws provided.
7. Remove germicidal lamp holder (Figure A)
