Electronic Air Cleaner Installation — Perform the
following to install the electronic air cleaner.
1. If a filter rack exists, remove the existing furnace filter.
Thoroughly clean the blower compartment and duct-
work where the electronic air cleaner is to be installed.
If a filter rack does not exist, fabricate a filter rack
using the location information provided in the Loca-
tion section on this page.
2. Place electronic air cleaner in filter rack. Ensure that
there is no air leakage.
3. Wire the power cord to a 24-V power source. See
Fig. 2. Use a voltmeter to positively identify that the
power source is a 24-V (maximum 30-V) source. A
field-supplied 110-V to 24-V adapter or transformer
may be used to provide 24-V power. Ensure that the
electronic air cleaner is properly grounded.
NOTE: If one terminal of the power source is
grounded, connect the white striped wire of the power
cord to this terminal.
4. Route the power cord to the electronic air cleaner
installation location. Plug the power cord into the high
voltage power supply box of the electronic air cleaner.
When power is provided to the electronic air cleaner,
the green high voltage power supply light will be on.
OPERATION
To verify operation, check the high voltage power supply
light on the power supply box. The green light should be on at
all times when the power cord is plugged in. When the collect-
ing pads need to be replaced, the orange light on the power
supply box will be lit. Refer to the Collecting Pad Replacement
section on this page.
For maximum performance of the electronic air cleaner,
these steps should be followed:
• run your heating/cooling system fan continuously
• remove furniture or carpets which block return air grilles
throughout your house, so that air moves freely to the
furnace
• check for proper operation of the blower fan on the
furnace
• ensure that the air cleaner is not clogged.
After installation of the electronic air cleaner, you may no-
tice some white dust on table tops and shelves. Most heavy
particles (such as lint) settle quickly and do not get filtered
through the electronic air cleaner. To reduce lint and dust, use
continuous fan operation and keep return vents unrestricted to
create an efficient airflow.
MAINTENANCE
It is very important that the scheduled maintenance be done
by the home owner. If the collecting pads are not changed
on a regular basis, the electronic air cleaner will not operate
effectively.
Collecting Pad Replacement — The collecting pads
will need to be replaced 3 to 4 times a year, depending on the
amount of contaminants in the air. If the collecting pads or
mesh screens become clogged, airflow through the system may
be restricted. This may cause service problems with the furnace
or air conditioner. Check the orange plugged filter indicator
light on the electronic air cleaner.
To replace the collecting pads:
1. Turn off furnace fan.
2. Disconnect power cord from the electronic air cleaner.
See Fig. 3.
3. Remove electronic air cleaner from filter rack. See
Fig. 4.
4. Lay the electronic air cleaner down. Open up the
frames so the collecting pads are exposed. See Fig. 5.
NOTE: If required, use the key to open the 5 corner
fasteners on the electronic air cleaner frames. See
Fig. 6.
5. Remove the power bar. Remove and discard both col-
lecting pads. See Fig. 5.
6. Vacuum the outside screens to remove all dust and res-
idue. See Fig. 7. The outside screens can be washed
with warm soapy water if needed. Be sure to dry
screens thoroughly before re-installing electronic air
collecting pads.
7. Install new collecting pads. Place power bar over col-
lecting pad with carbon fibers. The power bar must be
in contact with the carbon fiber collecting pad in order
for the electronic air cleaner to operate correctly. See
Fig. 8. Never wash the collecting pads.
8. Close the electronic air cleaner frames together and
lock all 5 corner fasteners (if required). Make sure all
the components are properly placed.
9. Place the electronic air cleaner back in the filter rack.
See Fig. 9.
10. Re-connect the power cord to the electronic air
cleaner. Check that green power supply LED is lit.
11. Turn on furnace fan.
Connecting the electronic air cleaner to a higher voltage
power supply will cause damage to the electrical compo-
nents of the electronic air cleaner. Do not connect to any
power source higher than 30-V.
Injury or electric shock could result. Make sure to turn fur-
nace off before performing any maintenance or removing
any components. Unplug power supply cord from elec-
tronic air cleaner before removing from filter rack.
Make sure electronic air cleaner is completely dry before
re-installing and turning on power. Damage to electronic
air cleaner could result.
