Operating Instructions
The TURBRO UV Sanitizer Lamp offers two operating modes:
- HOLD Mode: Provides continuous UV disinfection. The lamp remains on as long as power is supplied.
- AIRFLOW Mode: Activates the UV lamp only when airflow is detected within the HVAC system. This mode conserves energy and extends lamp life.
To select a mode, refer to the switch on the ballast unit. The green indicator lights on the ballast (labeled "UPPER" and "LOWER") confirm that the system is functioning correctly and the lamps are active.
