NOTE: The following is a typical installation of the
air cleaner on a highboy furnace. You may have to
alter the installation to fit your particular
application.
1. Locate the cabinet in the cold air return duct
such that all of the return air flows through
the unit. If the furnace and air cleaner
openings are different, use a transition.
2. Mounting holes are provided in the Air
Cleaner cabinet for ductwork attachment. The
.140” diameter holes are sized for #8 sheet
metal screws, or 1/8” rivets. If the adjoining
ductwork is flanged, install the screws with the
screw heads inside the cabinet to prevent
damage to the Air Cleaner Pre-filters and
optional Charcoal After-Filters during removal
and installation during scheduled
maintenance.
3. After the cabinet has been mounted, seal
seams air tight with duct tape or caulking.
ATTENTION: Be especially careful not to cover the
Air Flow Sensor orifice when sealing the air cleaner
and ductwork. This 3/16” diameter hole is located
in the front of the Power Tray Assembly.
4. Refer to the section entitled DIRECTION OF AIR
FLOW - Confirm correct airflow direction.
5. Install Power Tray Assembly onto the cabinet.
6. Install Pre-filters and Ionizing-Collecting Cells
into cabinet.
7. Install unit’s Front Panel Assembly onto
cabinet.

Q. I lost power to my home during a storm. Should I worry about the Electronic Air
Cleaner ?
A. The most common problem associated with power outages is the Electronic Air
Cleaner will not turn on properly after power is restored. If the Green INPUT
POWER indicating light is illuminated, and the Red CELL ENERGIZED indicating
light is illuminated while the HVAC system blower is operating, the unit is
operating properly. To reset the Electronic Air Cleaner, turn the HVAC system
blower OFF, turn air cleaner OFF, wait one minute, turn air cleaner ON, and then
turn HVAC system blower ON. If the Red and Green lights do NOT come on while
the HVAC system blower is in operation, after a storm, the power supply in the
Electronic Air Cleaner may be short circuited. Contact your local HVAC contractor
for further assistance.
Q. My installer told me to keep my HVAC system blower running all the time, but I
don’t want to increase my power bill. What should I do?
A. It is recommended that you keep your HVAC system blower operating all the time
to achieve the maximum air cleaning efficiency of the Electronic Air Cleaner. This
will allow the Electronic Air Cleaner to do what it is designed to do, which is clean
the air. Remember that if the air does not reach the air cleaner, it cannot be
cleaned. On average, your Electronic Air Cleaner will use the same amount of
electricity as a 55W light bulb. The energy usage of the HVAC system blower will
depend on the age and size of your system, energy costs in your regional location
and other variables.
The best solution is to operate the HVAC system blower in a continuous mode for
a month or two, estimate annual energy costs, and base your final decision with
what you feel most comfortable.
