Installation Guide
Before You Begin
- Ensure the HVAC system is turned off and power is disconnected at the breaker.
- Verify that you have all necessary tools and components as listed in the product packaging.
- Select an appropriate location in the HVAC ductwork, typically downstream from the air handler.
Installation Steps
- Prepare Ductwork: Cut an appropriately sized opening in the HVAC ductwork at the chosen installation point. Refer to the template provided with the unit for precise dimensions.
- Mount the Unit: Insert the HALO-LED® unit into the prepared opening. Secure the mounting flange to the ductwork using self-tapping screws, ensuring a tight seal to prevent air leakage.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the 24 VAC/DC input wires from the HALO-LED® unit to the low-voltage terminals of the HVAC system's transformer or control board. Ensure correct polarity if specified. The included 24 VAC transformer can be used if a suitable power source is not available.
- Verify Airflow Direction: Ensure the unit is oriented correctly with respect to the airflow in the duct. The "AIR FLOW" arrow on the unit should point in the direction of air movement.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power to the HVAC system.

Operation
Basic Operation
The RGF HALO-LED® unit is designed for continuous operation and will automatically activate when the HVAC system is running. It integrates seamlessly with your existing HVAC system, turning on and off with the blower fan.
- Once installed and powered, the unit will begin its air purification process.
- There are no user-adjustable settings or controls on the unit itself, as it operates automatically.
- The unit features a button control, primarily for diagnostic purposes or initial setup verification by a professional.
Indicator Lights
The HALO-LED® unit may feature an indicator light to confirm operation. Consult the specific product documentation or the installer for details on light behavior (e.g., solid blue for normal operation, flashing for error).
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your HALO-LED® unit. Always disconnect power to the HVAC system before performing any maintenance.
Cleaning the Unit
The hybrid hydrophilic catalyst is washable. Periodically, or as indicated by performance, the catalyst can be removed and gently cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation.
Replacing the LED Cell Module
The LED cell module has a long life, significantly longer than traditional UV lamps. When replacement is necessary, typically after several years of continuous operation, contact a qualified technician or refer to the detailed replacement instructions provided with genuine RGF replacement parts. Do not attempt to replace the module without proper training and safety precautions.
Maintenance Schedule
- Annually: Inspect the unit for any visible damage or debris. Clean the washable ceramic catalyst as needed.
- As Needed: Replace the LED cell module when its operational life is reached or if an error indicator suggests a malfunction.
