ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
If the Electronic Air Cleaner is wired directly to the
integrated accessory control on the furnace, it is
imperative that the ampere rating of the control be
sufficient to handle the current required by the air
cleaner. All wiring shall be performed in accordance
with the National Electric Code.
CAUTION:
Do not wire the Electronic Air Cleaner directly to a
multiple speed blower motor. Wiring to a multiple
speed blower motor will damage the Air Cleaner
power supply and void the warranty.
Read the instructions in the furnace installation
manual carefully before attempting installation or
operation of the Electronic Air Cleaner. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in an improper
installation and therefore void the HVAC system and/or
Air Cleaner warranty.
PROCEDURE FOR WIRING THE ELECTRONIC AIR
CLEANER TO INPUT POWER SOURCE
A power cord is provided on the 120 volt model for
connection to a standard 120V receptacle. If the unit is
to be permanently connected to the furnace control
panel, a wiring compartment (with a knockout hole) is
located at the rear of the Power Tray Assembly. It is
accessible by removing the Power Tray Cover.

COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. Why isn’t my Electronic Air Cleaner cleaning my air?
A. 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 to
the air cleaner. If the dirt does not get to the air cleaner, it cannot be removed
from the air. Are both the Red and Green indicating lights illuminated? If not, the
unit may be in need of servicing.
Q. It still isn’t cleaning my air the way I want it to. What can I do?
A. It is recommended that you operate the HVAC system continuously so that the air
movement will carry the dirt to the air cleaner where it can be collected.
Unfortunately, there will always be some dirt that is left behind on the appliances,
furniture, etc. Regular dusting is recommended to stir up these pockets of dust so
that they can enter the air stream and be removed by the Electronic Air Cleaner.
Q. When I turn on my Electronic Air Cleaner, the lights come on for a couple of
seconds and then turn off. The air cleaner isn’t working!
A. The air cleaner is operating properly as long as both the Red and Green indicating
lights are illuminated. Try turning the HVAC blower ON and then turning the
Electronic Air Cleaner ON. This should solve the problem.
Q. What is the zapping noise I am hearing from my unit? Should I be concerned?
A. The zapping or popping noise that you are hearing is the sound of larger particles
being “vaporized” by the Ionizing-Collecting Cell. This is normal and is no cause
for alarm. As your HVAC system blower moves the air through the ductwork and
allows the Electronic Air Cleaner to clean the air, the noise will diminish. However,
there will always be instances when larger particles enter the Ionizing-Collecting
Cell, and are “vaporized”.
Q. Should I hear this zapping noise all the time?
A. All Electronic Air Cleaners will occasionally zap or pop as larger particles pass
through the Ionizing-Collecting Cells. However, if the sound is constant or is
repetitive in nature, then a large particle may have become lodged in the Ionizing-
Collecting cell and may require removal by cleaning. If cleaning the Ionizing-
Collecting Cell does not stop the noise and/or there are no large particles trapped
in the Ionizing-Collecting Cell, then the cause could be a broken/loose ionizing
wire, bent collector plate or other mechanical fault.
Q. What if I no longer hear any popping or zapping noises coming from my unit? Is
it still cleaning the air?
A. If the zapping noises stop and the air cleaner is not in need of servicing, then one
of two situations has occurred. First, the Electronic Air Cleaner has successfully
removed all larger particles from the air and is cleaning microscopic particles
which do not cause the zapping noises. Second, the HVAC system blower is not
operating and air is not flowing through the ductwork. The Electronic Air Cleaner
cannot remove particles if the air stream is not moving.
