INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for selecting the Infinityt Air Purifier for your home comfort system! The Infinityt Air Purifier is proven to remove and kill airborne germs and allergens, including viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. The Infinity t Air Purifier is a cornerstone of Carrier’s Healthy Home Solutions for providing healthier, cleaner air in your home.
HOW IT WORKS
The Infinityt Air Purifier provides extremely high filtration performance while killing captured contaminants, including viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. The Infinityt Air Purifier treats the entire air-stream through a state of the art, three-stage process, exclusive to Carrier.
In stage one, the particles are electrically charged by a precision-point ionization array as they enter the Infinityt 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.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock or other conditions which may cause 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 and work gloves. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all warning or cautions attached to the unit. Consult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) for special requirements.
It is important to recognize safety information. This is the
safety-alert symbol 
. When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. 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 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 Infinityt 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 Infinityt 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 Infinityt Air Purifier.
Humidifiers
An evaporative humidifier can be mounted upstream of the Infinityt 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 t Air Purifier, it should be mounted as far upstream as possible (at least 6 ft 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.
Transitions
If the return air duct or furnace openings do not fit the Infinityt Air Purifier cabinet openings, gradual transitions are recommended to reduce air turbulence and maximize efficiency. No more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per running ft) of expansion should be used on each side of the transition fitting.
Turning Vanes
If the Infinityt Air Purifier is installed adjacent to a 90 degree duct elbow, turning vanes should be added inside duct to improve air distribution across the face of the air purifier.
Electrical Power
The Infinity t Air Purifier should only be powered when airflow is present. The furnace control EAC terminals provide power only when the furnace blower is operating. Infinityt 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 Infinityt Air Purifier is only powered when airflow is present. Contact local Carrier distributor for information on approved alternatives.

INSTALLATION
Step 6—Check Infinityt Air Purifier Components
!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.
b. Carefully remove all items from the box.
Step 7—Identify Mounting Location
a.Identify a mounting orientation for the Infinityt Air Purifier in the return air duct (see Fig. 3).
b.Ensure airflow direction through the Infinityt Air Purifier matches the arrows on the face of the air purifier cartridge. The Infinityt Air Purifier can be rotated 180 degrees to accommodate the cabinet orientation.
c.The location of the Infinityt Air Purifier should be readily accessible. Enough room should be provided for periodic replacement of the air purifier cartridges.
!WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Only a trained, experienced service person should install the Infinityt Air Purifier. A thorough check of the unit installation should be completed before unit operation. Before performing installation, service or maintenance operations on unit, turn off all power to unit. Tag disconnect switch with lockout tag.
