RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Please read instructions before installing and using the Electronic Air Cleaner. This will help you obtain the full benefit from the Electronic Air Cleaner you have selected.
▲! WARNING
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Shut off power at fuse panel before servicing. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.
▲! WARNING
Do not attempt installation of this unit unless you are familiar with the necessary tools, equipment, utility connections and potential hazards.
Installation should be performed only by a qualified service provider.
Failure to do so could result in reduced performance of the unit, serious personal injury or death.
1.Read the Owners Manual and the Rules for Safe Operation carefully. Failure to follow these rules and instructions could cause a malfunction of filter or unsatisfactory service.
2.Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule for efficient operation.
3.Unit must run for one full hour after installation. This will allow the collecting cells to reach peak efficiency.
4.If Air Flow Monitor is required, order F859-0381 kit.
▲! WARNING
Installation of this unit must comply with local electric codes or other applicable codes.
Review and understand local codes prior to installation.
Do not use this apparatus in an explosive atmosphere.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.
▲! CAUTION
CABINET AND CELLS MAY CONTAIN
SHARP EDGES.
Use care when servicing unit or handling cells. Failure to do so could result in minor personal injury.

HOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKS
Dirt particles flowing through the ducts (Figure 1) first enters the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint, etc.) are trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, etc.) pass through these pre-filters and enter the ionizing section (B). Here each tiny particle receives a positive electrical charge. These charged particles then enter the collecting section
(C). This section consists of a series of aluminum plates which are alternately charged negative and positive.
The positive charge of the particles cause them to be repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the negative plates where they are collected . . . just as a magnet attracts iron filings.
Clean-filtered air re-enters the supply duct system.
White Dust (Lint)
An Electronic Air Cleaner is designed to collect two major types of contaminants: Irritants (Pollens, Spores, Molds, Bacteria, etc.) and Black Soiling Contaminants (Dirt and Smoke particles).
The residue on the collecting plates of an electronic air cleaner is black, indicating it is removing dirt from the air stream. After installing an air cleaner you may notice white dust (typically, long linty particles or fibers – from carpets, cotton materials or drapery fabrics). This material is not collected by the air cleaner because it does not contain the irritants or soiling contaminants listed above or settles out of the air before reaching the air cleaner. The presence of white dust does not indicate an air cleaner requires service.

Carbon (Charcoal) Filters
Odors are gas molecules, not particles. They cannot be removed by an Electronic Air Cleaner or by any other filtration media designed to remove airborne particles. However, some gases can be absorbed by an activated carbon filter or diluted with fresh outdoor air. When odors are present, the addition of charcoal filters will neutralize odors, such as cooking odors, pet odors, cigar and cigarette odors, ozone, etc. Optional charcoal filters are available for your Air Cleaner. Refer to the parts list for the charcoal filter part number for your Air Cleaner. Charcoal filters require replacement. They cannot be washed. While there is no rule of thumb for how often they should be changed, you can use your best judgement based on the odors you perceive in your environment.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR CLEANER
Not only is your air cleaner easy to install, it is also easy to operate and maintain. Its basic components, and their functions, are as follows: (See Figure 2)
Cabinet - mounts to existing duct work and houses the collecting cells and pre-filters.
Collecting Cells - are made in two sections and perform the actual collecting of dust, dirt, and other impurities from the air. They contain the ionizing and collection sections described above.
Each cell must be installed with the ionizing wires on the air entering side. Each cell must be oriented with the handles and contact button (Figure 2) toward the operator.
Pre-filters - are in two sections which are interchangeable. They serve as a pre-filter to trap large particles such as hair and lint before they can enter the cell sections.
Power Pack- contains operating and power on lights as well as the solid state components that convert the 120 volt power supply to the high-voltage, direct current required for the collecting cell.

LOCATING THE AIR FILTER
Your air filter must be mounted in the return air duct of a central forced-air system, on the air entering side of your furnace. (See Figure 3 for example.)
Select a location that meets the following:
1.The face of the cell will be at a right angle to the air stream.
2.Allow the following clearances to permit removal of cells and pre-filters: (See Figures 4 and 5)
Model SST1000 - 14 inches Model SST1400 - 15 inches Model SST1600 - 14 inches Model SST2000 - 15 inches
For complete dimension data refer to Figure 5.
3.The air filter is not to be placed in the discharge of either the heating or cooling unit.
4.IMPORTANT: If atomizing spray type humidifier is used, it must be installed downstream from the air filter.
If your furnace duct system has a pre-installed boot, discard front cover of boot and slide the air cleaner component inside the boot. For installation of Air Cleaner Retrofit (ACR) kits, see page 13.
If furnace opening cannot be enlarged to required size, a transition sheet metal section must be used. Transition must be planned for each job. Reduction should not be more than 4 inches per linear foot, approximately 20 angular degrees (Figure 3).
DIRECTION OF AIR FLOW THROUGH THE
AIR CLEANER
Your air cleaner is shipped from the factory with air flow from left-to-right. If this air flow is suitable for the installation, no further changes need to be made (Figure 4). For right-to-left air flow, remove both pre-filter and cell sec-

tions. Turn cells upside down (with the same end facing the cabinet opening). This will locate the ionizing wires at the right, and both contact buttons and cell handles will be facing the power door. Air flow direction must agree with arrow embossed on end of collecting cells.
After installing the cell sections, install pre-filters in cabinet tracks on the right. This will again place the pre-filters on the air entering side (on the same side as ionizing wires).
