The OXY 4™ Air Sterilizer is an advanced air treatment system designed to purify indoor air through a combination of ultraviolet (UV) light and catalytic reactions. This device utilizes an extended surface area to maximize the effectiveness of its advanced plasma oxidizers, aiming to kill, oxidize, and sterilize airborne contaminants. The system is engineered for whole-home purification, making it suitable for integration into existing heating and cooling systems.
At its core, the OXY 4™ Air Sterilizer employs dual UV oxidizing lamps, which are central to its air purification capabilities. These lamps emit ultraviolet-C (UVC) light, a known germicidal wavelength that effectively neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and mold spores by disrupting their DNA. In addition to direct germicidal action, the UV light interacts with the extended surface area, initiating catalytic reactions that generate advanced plasma oxidizers. These oxidizers are highly reactive molecules that break down volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and other airborne pollutants into harmless substances like carbon dioxide and water vapor. This dual-action approach ensures comprehensive air treatment, addressing both biological contaminants and chemical pollutants.
The system is designed to be installed within the ductwork of a home's HVAC system, allowing it to treat the air as it circulates throughout the living space. This strategic placement ensures that all air passing through the system is exposed to the purifying effects of the UV lamps and plasma oxidizers, providing continuous and consistent air quality improvement. The device is available in different models, accommodating various installation requirements and purification needs.
The OXY 4™ Air Sterilizer is equipped with several user-friendly features that enhance its functionality and ease of operation. A key feature is the UVC "Smart Light" monitor, which provides a visual indication of the lamp's operational status. This LED monitor allows users to quickly ascertain if the internal UVC lamp is functioning correctly, ensuring continuous purification. For more detailed information and control, an optional programmable LCD display is available. This LCD screen can show various information, including a Respicaire logo, the number of days remaining before service is due, and customizable dealer/contractor contact information.
The device incorporates a multi-voltage, auto-sensing ballast, which simplifies installation by automatically adapting to different electrical inputs. This flexibility makes the OXY 4™ suitable for a wider range of residential applications. For homes with specific environmental conditions, a high-temperature "Attic" model is available, designed to withstand temperatures up to 220°F (104°C), ensuring reliable performance even in challenging environments.
For larger homes or commercial spaces requiring more extensive air treatment, the OXY 4™ supports a tandem feature, allowing multiple units to be connected. This scalability ensures that the system can effectively purify air in spaces of varying sizes. The large surface area for active oxidation further enhances the device's efficiency in breaking down pollutants.
Installation is designed to be straightforward. The process involves using a rubber template to mark the installation location, cutting an access hole in the duct, mounting a base plate with screws, and then sliding the main assembly into place, securing it with locking tabs. Electrical connection options include both 120-volt and 24-volt AC power, with specific instructions for each to ensure proper setup. For 24-volt installations, a supplementary 40VA transformer is required for models up to 18 watts, while 36-watt models necessitate a 120-volt connection. The tandem installation feature, exclusively for 120-volt systems, allows up to four units to be connected in series using a provided power cord, simplifying wiring for multi-unit setups.
The programmable LCD option offers a unique customization feature. Users can program the dealer/contractor contact information screen using a memory stick inserted into a USB port. A joystick control allows navigation through characters on an alphanumeric screen to input desired text, providing a personalized service reminder for homeowners. This feature ensures that homeowners have easy access to their service provider's contact details when maintenance is required. The system also includes a reset notification timer, which can be activated by depressing specific buttons on the device for a set duration.
Maintaining the OXY 4™ Air Sterilizer is crucial for its continued effectiveness and longevity. The device is designed with features that facilitate maintenance and ensure optimal performance. The primary maintenance task involves replacing the UV oxidizing lamps, which have a specified operational life. The programmable LCD display plays a vital role in this aspect by showing the "number of days remaining before service," prompting users when it's time for a lamp replacement. This proactive notification helps prevent a decline in purification efficiency due to aged lamps.
The UVC "Smart Light" monitor, while primarily a usage feature, also serves as a maintenance indicator. If the LED light is not illuminated, it signals that the internal UVC lamp is not operating, indicating a need for inspection or replacement. This immediate visual feedback is essential for troubleshooting and ensuring the system is actively purifying the air.
When replacing lamps or performing any servicing, safety is paramount. The manual explicitly warns users to disconnect power before any lamp change-outs or servicing, emphasizing that there are several disconnects and recommending complete power disconnection from the electrical supply. This precaution is critical to prevent electrical shock and UV exposure.
The design of the unit, with its base plate and sliding assembly, suggests that lamp replacement is intended to be a relatively straightforward process, likely involving accessing the internal components after the main assembly is disengaged from the base plate. The manual also advises against opening the ballast unit, as it is designed as a sealed component with no user-serviceable parts inside.
Furthermore, the manual provides warnings regarding the handling of lamps, noting that they contain small amounts of mercury and require careful disposal if breakage occurs. It also advises against touching the glass of the lamps without gloves to keep the lamp surface clean, as oils from skin can reduce UV output.
The programmable LCD's ability to store dealer/contractor contact information is a practical maintenance feature, as it provides homeowners with immediate access to professional assistance for servicing or lamp replacements. This ensures that maintenance can be performed by qualified personnel, adhering to recommended procedures and using appropriate replacement parts. The memory stick used for programming can also be utilized to upload contact information to new UV modules, streamlining setup for subsequent installations.
