RGF has been a leader in the use ofUV in the medical, food and industrial applications forover 25 years with senior staff experience dating backto the 1960s.UV-c functions by breaking up the DNA of microorganismsthereby rendering them harmless. UV-c or“stick lights”, as they are known in the AC business,have been popular for the past 10 years. At this time inthe product cycle, they are known as a “mature product”or “commodity” considering there are dozens of companiesmaking UV-c stick lights, all using the same basictechnology, a UV-c 254 nm bulb! Many, for competitivereasons, have resorted to exaggerated claims, such asairborne virus and bacteria kills, also medical and allergyclaims. In addition, many have bypassed safetyissues for cost cutting. These have been overwhelminglycondemned by professional IAQ engineers and allHVAC professional publications.UV-c can kill airborne microbials, but it takes manybulbs in engineered systems. We do this engineeringfor industrial applications. Often we have to double theAC system to overcome the heat from all the UV bulbsneeded to make a noticeable airborne kill rate. This isjust not practical in a residential system. Responsibleprofessionals all agree UV stick lights work on AC coilsurfaces and can prevent microbial growth on the coil.This is RGF UV-c‘s only claim.Now UV-c light enhanced with a reflective Quad Metallicoxide catalyst or advanced UV can also reduceVOC’s and odors. This is the ultimate UV stick light, increasingUV energy due to the high-intensity reflectivemetal oxides while also providing catalytic oxidation ofodors and VOC’s. This is the RGF AUV Advantage.The Top 10 Reasons for Choosingthe RGF AUV1. AUV comes with a protectivesealed poly cover to preventMercury contamination if a bulbshould accidentally break. Mercuryis in all UV bulbs, and a spillin a home could result in a veryexpensive enviro clean-up.2. The bulb and electrical connection are sealed to Marinestandards, 100% waterproof.3.The removable Quad Metallic oxide catalytic reflectorenhances the UV intensity, plus it adds PCO photocatalyticoxidation capabilities for VOC and odor controls.The removable option feature makes it suitablefor a multitude of applications.4. Non-polarized bulb coating to repel dirt and greatly reducebulb cleaning.5. High-efficiency stabilized 24-volt ballast. (18-32 VAC)6. Integrated bulb status indicator.7.SPECIFICATIONS24 VAC Ballast (18-32 volt input range)Current .7 amps @ 24 VAC (16.8 VA)Operates on just 4.4 cents per day(based on 11 cents per kWh)UV Output: 100% Germicidal UV-C Light(254nm wavelength)Warranty: 2 year Lamp and 5 Year Power SupplyMounting Depth:Center Coil TM 14.5” to 17” range (no reflector)With reflector: min. depth 16”Mounting Plate: 3” diameterMounting Hole: 1-3/8” diameterMax. overall length: with mount 18”Min. overall length: 16”25,000-hour theoretical bulb life, 10,000 hour minimumlife so we feel comfortable offering a two-yearbulb and five-year ballast warranty.8. Remote ballast mounting for tight installs.9. Multi-position bulb mounting for versatile installation.10. This is an RGF product, made in the USA by RGF,who is the recognized worldwide leader in UV and AdvancedOxidation products with over twenty five yearsin business and over one million in operation worldwide.
