The UV425 is the 16” straight replacement lamp for Abatement Technologies, Inc.’s CAP500-UV Central Air Purification systems.

The UV425 utilizes UVGI (Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation) technology to actively “kill” bacteria and viruses by destroying their DNA. UVGI is also a part of the spectrum of electromagnetic energy generated by the sun.

Your CAP500-UV includes both visual and audible indicators that monitor the lamp's status:

Green Light: Indicates the lamp is operating within an acceptable range;
Yellow Light: Indicated the lamp should be replaced soon;
Red Light: Indicates the lamp in inoperable.

An audible 'chirp' begins when the Yellow light appears. The 'chirping' alarm can be shut-off without replacing the lamp.

The UV425 16" high-output UV lamp has a special filament and internal coating that increases performance over the life of the lamp. The manufacturer recommends you change your UVGI long-life quartz lamp after 9000 hours (1 year) of use under normal operating conditions.

Note:
The UV425 does NOT generate any ozone output. If you own a CAP500-UVP Central Air Purification system that utilizes trivalent oxygen (ozone) technology you will want to purchase the UVP425 replacement lamp.
