Thank you for purchasing a GPS-iMOD system from Global Plasma Solutions (GPS). The GPS-iMOD is a revolutionary product in the air purification
industry. The GPS-iMOD is manufactured from high quality components to prevent wear, does not require replacement and does not generate
ozone. The system is designed to provide a long, trouble free life and low cost of ownership.

HARDWARE PROVIDED BY GPS

Before you start, confirm the contents of your shipment contains all the parts ordered. Each GPS-iMOD system will consist of the following
components:

1. GPS-iMOD 15-watt power supply with multi-voltage input: (24VAC/0.5A; 120VAC/0.12A; 208-240VAC/0.065A).

2. GPS-iMOD 6’ flexible power cable with connectors and first electrode on the bar already attached. Custom length cables may have been ordered
and lengths may vary by application. More than 1 may be provided based on AHU size.

3. GPS-iMOD 6-inch modular sections provided per quantities ordered to achieve overall desired ionization bar length.

4. End cap for each iMOD assembly bar. End cap inserts into the last modular section of the bar to prevent contamination.

5. A minimum of 2 mounting magnets per bar for securing the GPS-iMOD to the cooling coil inlet or filter rack. Magnet quantity provided will increase
based on overall bar length. GPS recommends magnet spacing of about 16 inches.

6. Nylon screws and nuts for securing magnets to the front or back of the iMOD sections and metal screws for securing magnets to the top of the
iMOD sections where the bar can be mounted to the ceiling of an air handler.

HARDWARE REQUIRED BY OTHERS

1. Self-tapping sheet metal screws.

2. Electric wiring, junction box or receptacle to provide power to the GPS-iMOD power supply, optional air flow switch, optional door switch, optional
remote mounted ion detector sensor, or optional NEMA enclosure for power supply. Note: optional items may be included based on the items
quoted or provided in the purchase order.

INSTALLATION LOCATION

GPS recommends mounting the GPS-iMOD downstream of a MERV 6, 30% particulate filter to prevent unnecessary build-up of particulate on the
carbon fiber needle tips. Below is a list of locations to mount the GPS-iMOD in the preferred order.

1. The optimal location to mount the GPS-iMOD is between the particulate filter and the cooling coil. Mounting the GPS-iMOD in this location will
prevent particulate build-up. The GPS-iMOD mounted before the cooling coil will prevent bacteria, virus and mold from breeding on the cooling
coil as the ions will be pulled through the coil with the air flow.

2. Downstream of the particulate filters and the cooling coil in a location where condensate from the coil or a humidifier will not completely saturate
the bar. Whereas the iMOD bar is waterproof, the ionization will be reduced from the carbon fiber brushes if they become saturated with water
from condensate.

3. Before the particulate filters. Please note if the bar is mounted before the particle filters, the ionization will not go past the particle filters. In
healthcare applications, 2 sets of bars are suggested; one set on the coil inlet and one after the final filters.

MECHANCIAL INSTALLATION

For standard applications, there should be a quantity of 1 GPS-iMOD bar assembly on each coil up to 60 inches in height. The GPS-iMOD bar(s) should
be spaced a maximum of 60 inches apart to get optimal ionization coverage on the coils. The bar should be installed such that the entire finned­width of the cooling coil is spanned by the GPS-iMOD bar (see FIGURE 13).

1. Determine which style of GPS-iMOD is being installed.

i. If using the screw-type iMOD, go to Step 1A (Refer to FIGURE 1 for GPS-iMOD screw-type with threaded post).

ii. If using the snap-type iMOD, go to Step 1B (Refer to FIGURE 2 for GPS-iMOD-S snap-type without threads).

Step 1A – Assembly of screw-type GPS-iMOD

Once the mounting location has been determined, assemble the modular sections by inserting the male threaded post into the female receiver of
the first modular section already attached to the powerhead (see FIGURE 3) and tighten until the modular housings are securely butted to each other.
See FIGURE 4 below for correct assembly alignment. Please note, it should take 3-4 complete revolutions to assemble properly. Continue process
until all modules are assembled to the desired length of the bar.

FIGURE 3 FIGURE 4

Not all the bars will screw together and line up with the brushes pointing in the same direction without using excessive force that could damage the
module. Below are directions to assemble the bars to ensure alignment.

iMOD ALIGNMENT

When the sections do not align properly after they have been
securely adjusted, as shown in FIGURE 5, disassemble the section
and place nylon spacer(s) provided by GPS between the two
sections as shown in FIGURE 6. Use several if needed.

FIGURE 6
FIGURE 5

Once the spacer is placed over the male end of the device, twist the sections together until the parts are snug, and the carbon fiber brushes are
pointing in the same direction, as shown in FIGURE 4A. Please note, once the bars are assembled, there should be no “wobble” between the sections.
Proceed to 2.

Step 1B – Assembly of snap-type GPS-iMOD (GPS-IMOD-S)

Once the mounting location has been determined, assemble the modular sections by inserting the post-end of the iMOD-S into the receiver-end of
the first modular section already attached to the powerhead (see FIGURE 7). Attach iMOD-S sections, making sure they are properly aligned as shown
in FIGURE 8. Attach the iMOD-S sections by using a rubber mallet and carefully tapping with enough force to cause the modular sections to “snap”
together (see FIGURE 9). Set iMOD on hard, flat surface when assembling with mallet. Hold iMOD firmly while tapping with hammer to avoid slipping.

Do not hold iMOD between sections while assembling to avoid pinching.
