5. Rinse the cell(s) and prefilter(s) with a hard spray of
very hot water; rinse the tub clean, then fill the tub with
clean hot water and soak for 5 to 15 minutes. Rinse
until the water draining from the cell(s) and prefilter(s)
no longer feels slippery.
6. Soak cell(s) and prefilter(s) in a final clear water rinse
for ten minutes.
7. Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the end of
the cell using your thumb and forefinger with a small,
damp cloth.
Reinstall the Cell(s) and Prefilter(s)
1. Inspect the cell(s) for broken ionizer wires and bent
collector plates. Repair as necessary or take to a
Honeywell Authorized Air Cleaner Repair Station.
2. Slide the prefilter(s) into the upstream prefilter guides.
3. Slide in the air cleaner cell(s) so the airflow arrow
points downstream and the handle(s) faces outward.
4. Firmly close the access door.
5. Turn on the air cleaner. If the cell(s) and prefilter(s) are
wet, the neon light may not come on and you may hear
arcing. If the arcing is annoying, simply turn off the air
cleaner for two to three hours or until the cell(s) is dry.
If the air cleaner has an Air Cleaner Monitor, the FAULT
indicator may activate when the cell(s) and prefilter(s) are
wet. Again, if the FAULT indicator is annoying, simply turn off
the air cleaner for two to three hours or until the cell(s) and
prefilter(s) are dry.
Replacing Ionizer Wires
Broken or bent ionizer wires can cause an electrical short to
ground, often resulting in visible arcing or sparking. Do not
use cell(s) until broken wires are removed. Cells can be used
temporarily with one wire missing, but replace the wire as
soon as possible.
Replacement wires are supplied cut to length with eyelets on
both ends for easy installation. See Parts and Accessories
not illustrated on Page 18 for Part No. To install:
1. Hook the eyelet on one end of the wire over the spring
connector on one end of the cell. See Fig. 23. Be
careful to avoid damaging the spring connector or
other parts of the cell.
2. Hold the opposite eyelet with a needle nose pliers and
stretch the wire the length of the cell. Depress the
opposite spring connector and hook the eyelet over it.
3. Check the cell for short circuits using an ohmmeter.
Check the resistance between the frame of the cell
and both the ionizer and the collector contacts. In each
case, the resistance should be infinite. See Fig. 24.

cells for short circuits.
