  • Page 3: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION This Electronic Air Cleaner is a two-stage electrostatic precipitator. The air cleaner is designed to remove airborne particulates, including dust, dirt, smoke, pollen, virus, spores, bacteria, mold from indoor air. Air movement through the unit is provided by the heating, air conditioning or ventilating system blower.
  • Page 4: Unit Components

    Cabinet Mounts to existing ductwork; houses the Ionizing-Collecting Cells and Pre-fitters. Ionizing-Collecting Cells Collect the dust, dirt and other particulates in the air. They contain the ionizing and collecting sections_ The cells must be installed with the ionizing wires on the air intake side. A spring contact is located on the top of each cell and must be in the position to make contact with the contact board assemblies on the bottom of the Power Tray Assembly.
  • Page 5: Regular Dusting & "White Dust

    Regular Dusting and "White Dust" Your new Electronic Air Cleaner will efficiently clean and filter your household air° It will not eliminate the need for regular dusting of your furniture and belongings_ Duct-mounted cleaners can only clean air that reaches the air cleaner. Therefore, if the particulates are not being carried to the air cleaner in the air stream, the air cleaner cannot remove them from...

    HighAltitudeOperation Because t he air is less dense at higher altitudes, there is a possibility nuisance arcing in the Electronic Air Cleaner, The homeowner can quickly and easily correct this conditiom Make sure the HVAC System Blower is not operating, the ONIOFF switch is in OFF position and the circuit breaker is turned...
  • Page 7: Maintenance Of Your Electronic Air Cleaner

    WASHING I ONIZING- COLLECTING CELLSAND PRE-FILTERS Regu{ar washing of the Ionizing+Collecting Cells is necessary to ensure proper performance, A thorough washing once every two months will be adequate for most installations, More frequent washing (once a month) may be necessary with some installations (new home for example) where there is new carpeting, plaster dust or excessive cigarette...
  • Page 8: Replacing The Ionizer Wires

    REPLACING THE IONIZING WIRES Instances of the Ionizing Wires breaking are minimal due to the constant tension design and fixed location of the lonizing Wire supports. When an Ionizing Wire breaks, the efficiency of the Electronic Air Cleaner will decrease slightty_ However, the unit will continue to operate with a broken Ionizing Wire as long as the broken wire has not caused a short in the secondary circuit...
  • Page 9: Common Questions & Answers

    COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Why isn't my Electronic Air Cleaner cleaning my air? The air cleaner is most likely working just like it was designed, However, many factors can affect the performance of the unit_ Are air return registers located in the ceiling? If so, it will be difficult for the air flow to carry heavier particulates the air cleaner.
