INTRODUCTION

Congratulations for selecting the Infinity Air Purifier for your
home comfort system! The Infinity Air Purifier is proven to
remove and kill airborne germs and allergens, including viruses,
bacteria, and mold spores. The Infinity Air Purifier is a cornerstone
of Carrier’s Healthy Home Solutions for providing healthier,
cleaner air in your home.

HOW IT WORKS

The Infinity Air Purifier provides extremely high filtration
performance while killing captured contaminants, including
viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. The Infinity Air Purifier treats
the entire air--stream through a state of the art, three--stage process.

In stage one, the particles are electrically charged by a
precision--point ionization array as they enter the Infinity Air
Purifier.

In stage two, the charged particles are electrically attracted to the air
purification cartridge, which is located within an electric field.

In stage three, captured particles are killed by electrical current
flow and ion bombardment.

The Infinity Air Purifier is CSA certified for shock and electrical
fire hazard only.

La Infinity Air Purifier certification CSA vise uniquement les
risques de choc electrique et.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance,
or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other
conditions which may cause death, personal injury or property
damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency or your
distributor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified
installer or agency must use factory--authorized kits or accessories
when modifying this product. Refer to the individual instructions
packaged with the kits or accessories when installing.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing,
and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available. Read these
instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings and cautions
included in literature and attached to the unit. Consult local
building codes and the current edition of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) NFPA 70.

In Canada, refer to the current editions of the Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1.

Recognize safety information. When you see this symbol
the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for
personal injury. Understand the signal words DANGER,
WARNING,andCAUTION. These words are used with the
safety--alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards,
which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING
signifies hazards, which could result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices, which may result
in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE
is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced
installation, reliability, or operation.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS

!

The Infinity Air Purifier is designed for use in the return air duct of
a forced air heating, cooling, and ventilation system. Models
GAPAAXCC1625 and GAPAAXCC2025 are specifically
designed for use in systems with a forced air gas furnace.

Air Conditioning

The Infinity Air Purifier should be installed in a system so that all
the return air is circulated through the air purifier. It should be
located upstream of both the furnace and the air conditioning
evaporator coil. This will help keep the furnace and evaporator coil
clean and prevent condensation from forming within the Infinity
Air Purifier.

Humidifiers

An evaporative humidifier can be mounted upstream of the Infinity
Air Purifier. It is best to install atomizing humidifiers downstream
of the air purifier because hard water salt deposits and water
droplets may damage air purifier. If an atomizing humidifier must
be mounted upstream of the Infinity Air Purifier, it should be

GAPAA

mounted as far upstream as possible (at least 6 ft./1.8 m
recommended), and a standard disposable furnace filter should be
mounted between the humidifier and the air purifier to trap hard
water salt deposits and water droplets.

Ensure that the humidifier installation will not allow water or water
droplets to enter the air purifier because it may cause electrical
arcing or damage the air purifier.

NOTE: For fan coil installations, do not install the humidifier in
the fan coil access doors or cabinet.

Inspect for plugged drains and maintain humidifier drain lines on a
regular basis to avoid overflow of water into the air purifier. The
recommended inspection should be done at every change of the air
purifier cartridge (minimum, annually).

HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.

This air purifier utilizes high voltage. If you notice water
running into or around the air purifier, water stains on the
purifier cartridge or on the Enhancement Module walls or
cabinet, shut off the air purifier and call your service provider.

Transitions

If the return air duct or furnace openings do not fit the Infinity Air
Purifier cabinet openings, gradual transitions are recommended to
reduce air turbulence and maximize efficiency. No more than 45_
(about 8.5 in. per running ft.) of expansion should be used on each
side of the transition fitting.

Turning Vanes

If the Infinity Air Purifier is installed adjacent to a 90_ duct elbow,
turning vanes should be added inside duct to improve air
distribution across the face of the air purifier.

Electrical Power

The Infinity Air Purifier should only be powered when airflow is
present. The furnace control EAC terminals provide power only
when the furnace blower is operating. Infinity Air Purifier models
GAPAAXCC1625 and GAPAAXCC2025 are designed to be
powered from the electronic air cleaner (EAC) terminals on a
furnace electronic control. If EAC terminals are not available, an
alternative airflow sensing mechanism must be used to ensure the
Infinity Air Purifier is only powered when airflow is present.
Contact local Carrier distributor for information on approved
alternatives.

CAUTION

CUT HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care and

wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves when
handling parts.

Carefully remove all items from the box.

Identify Mounting Location

a. Identify a mounting orientation for the Infinity Air Purifier

in the return air duct (see Figures 3 and 4).

IMPORTANT:

b. Ensure airflow direction through the Infinity Air Purifi-

er matches the arrows on the face of the air purifier

NOTE:
Mounting on this side
requires the cabinet
to be rotated 180° for
correct air ow.

cartridge and those on the sticker inside the cabinet. The
Infinity Air Purifier can be rotated 180_ to accommo­date the cabinet orientation.

c. The location of the Infinity Air Purifier should be readily

accessible. Enough room should be provided for periodic
replacement of the air purifier cartridges.
