The UV-Com is a continuous current-monitoring UV Lamp Control that can also act as a power on/off indicator. It provides a direct-readout green LED that relates the on/off state of an installed UV-C lamp and corresponding ballast. It’s no longer necessary to directly access and look at UV-C lamps in use.
The UV-Com UV Lamp Control is equipped with a 0-5 Vdc analogue output connection point to provide the building operator with a remote signal for monitoring the on/off performance of a UV-C through a building management system. The signal informs the Building Management System that each ballast and lamp is operational. The UV-Com is warranted for 5 years.

UV Decontamination is one of the most effective ways to disinfect and degrade organic material. UV Decontamination is supported by research from ASHRAE, GSA and the CDC. UV-C systems play an important role in the maintenance cycle of HVAC systems, supporting the Air Filters in their duty of keeping the coils clean, reducing expensive maintenance costs and higher energy/operational costs.
The UV-Com system provides a method of effectively monitoring and controlling UV Lamps ensuring the operator receives the most efficient solution.
The UV-Com can be used with almost any lamp/ballast combination. When installed between a lamp and ballast, the CU2 produces a 0-5 Volt signal alerting the BMS if the lamp or ballast fails. Its unique design allows it to pick up the current flowing between the ballast and lamp is inductively converts it to a linear 0-5 Volt output signal with no moving parts or components to fail. That signal can be monitored by any system capable of accepting it. It instantly, accurately, and reliably instructs the BMS or other device of the status of the lamp or ballast.
The CU2 is a solid-state, instantaneous, and consistently accurate device that provides a signal of the full operation of UV-C systems. And, because of its affordability, the CU2 is typically installed at each lamp/ballast installation to provide both a direct and remote indication of lamp/ballast performance. This eliminates the need for an operator to visit the unit directly to see if the lamps are lit. Unlike other monitoring devices, the UV-Com does not require separate power to provide its lamp/ballast monitoring capability.
The UV-Com can accept up to eight (8) lamps/ballast combinations via the UVRepeat™ replicator and produces a single output signal to the BMS. The distinct advantage of the UVRepeat is the minimization of the number of direct connections made to a BMS.
The enclosure has a sealed clear cover for observing LED signals and is rated NEMA 4X for protection from dirt, wash-downs, and corrosion. This UL Listed control box is gray with mounting holes.
The CU2 lamp/ballast monitor is constructed of industrial grade polycarbonate and equipped with a direct-read high output green LED. It features two mounting holes with an external wiring block for wiring to a remote-sensing, or, input-device. When installed between a lamp and ballast, the CU2 produces a 0-5 Vdc signal for remote monitoring.
The UVRepeat™ is a PC board designed to facilitate the conversion of an inductive field to a regulated electromotive force of up to 5 V. It consists of eight (8) CU2 signal input screw-down terminals and one screw-down output terminal capable of accommodating low-voltage wire sizes of up 18 ga. Each terminal has an on/off switch and LED indicator-light. When a lamp or ballast has failed, the LED indicator light turns off. Output signals, up to 5 V, can be used by a building management system to remotelymonitor lamp/ballast. The UVRepeat is mounted on a steel panel inside the NEMA 4X enclosure.
