C.

UV-C light fixtures and lamps shall be provided by the air handler manufacturer. The
UV-C fixtures shall be factory-assembled and tested in the air handler. Field-installed
fixtures shall not be allowed.
UV Fixtures to meet UL Standards 153, 1598 & 1995.
The UV-C fixtures and lamps shall be coupled end-to-end and mounted on a slide-out
rack to enable complete replacement and/or maintenance of the bulbs from the unit
exterior.
Voltage for lamps / transformers: 120V.
MC to provide unit mounted control panel housing: fuses, contactors, relays and wiring.

All polymeric materials that come into direct or indirect (reflected) contact with UV-C
light shall be tested and certified as UV-C tolerant. Any polymeric material in direct or
indirect contact with UV-C light not certified as UV-C tolerant shall be completely
shielded from the UV-C light using a certified UV-C tolerant material such as metal. UVC tolerance is defined as being capable of performing its intended duty for a minimum of
20 years.

Access doors shall be provided at the location of each UV-C light as indicated on the
plans and schedule. All sections of the air handler with access doors where the UV-C
lights may pose a risk for direct exposure shall have a mechanical interlock switch that
disconnectspower to the lights when the door is opened.
In addition to the mechanical interlock switch, each unit shall be equipped with an
externally mounted on-off/disconnect/shut off switch that disconnects power to the UV-C
lights. The switch shall be equipped with a lock-out/tag-out to prevent unwanted
operation of the UVC lights.
A view port with cover shall be provided in each UV section to allow viewing of the UVC light array confirming operation. The view port and other AHU windows shall be
treated to assure the UV-C energy emitted through it is below the threshold limits
specified by NIOSH and ACGIH.
Units shall have a safety warning label applied to the exterior of each section containing
UVC lights.
