What to Expect From Your Honeywell TrueCLEAN™ Enhanced
Air Cleaner
Congratulations for selecting the Honeywell TrueCLEAN™ Enhanced Air Cleaner for your home comfort system!
The Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner is proven to remove and destroy airborne germs and allergens, including
viruses, bacteria, and mold spores from air moving through the lter. The Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner is a
cornerstone of Honeywell’s home comfort solutions for providing cleaner air in your home.
The installer should review these points with the homeowner and answer any questions they have before leaving
the job site.
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the rating given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product operation as provided in these instructions.
How it Works
The Honeywell TrueCLEAN™ Enhanced Air Cleaner provides extremely high ltration performance while
destroying captured contaminants, including viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. The Honeywell Enhanced Air
Cleaner treats the entire air stream through a state of the art, three-stage process.
Stage 1
In stage one, particles in the air are electrically charged by an array of ionizer points as they enter the Honeywell
Enhanced Air Cleaner.
Stage 2
In stage two, the charged particles are electrically attracted and captured in the air lter cartridge, which is located
within an electric eld.
Stage 3
In stage three, captured particles are destroyed by electrical current ow and ion bombardment.

Application Considerations
The Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner is designed for use in the return air duct of a forced air heating, cooling,
and ventilation system. Models FH8000A1620, FH8000A2020 and FH8000A2520 are specically designed for
use in systems with an air handler. Models FH8000F1625 and FH8000F2025 are specically designed for use in
systems with a forced air furnace. The Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner is CSA certied for shock and electrical
re hazard only.
Air Conditioning
The Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner should be installed in a system so that all the return air is circulated through
the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner. It should be located upstream of the air conditioning equipment. This
will help keep the equipment clean and prevent condensation from forming within the Honeywell Enhanced Air
Cleaner.
Humidiers
An evaporative humidier can be mounted upstream of the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner. It is best to install
atomizing humidiers downstream of the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner because hard water salt deposits and
water droplets may damage the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner. If an atomizing humidier must be mounted
upstream of the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner, it should be mounted as far upstream as possible (at least 6 ft.
[1.8 m] recommended), and a standard disposable furnace lter should be mounted between the humidier and
the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner to trap hard water salt deposits and water droplets.
STARTED
GETTING
Transitions
If the return air duct or fan coil openings do not t the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner cabinet openings, gradual
transitions are recommended to reduce air turbulence and maximize efciency.
FH8000A – No more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per running ft.) of expansion should be used on each side of
the transition tting.
FH8000F – No more than 45 degrees (about 8.5 in. per running ft.) of expansion should be used on each side of
the transition tting.
Turning Vanes
If the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner 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 Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner.

Application Considerations
Electrical Power / Airow Switch
The Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner should only be powered when airow is present.
FH8000A – These models are designed for use with an air handler and are equipped with an airow switch (see
Fig. 1), which provides power only when the air handler blower is operating. These models are designed to be
powered from a 208 to 230 VAC single phase power source.
Fig. 1. Airow Switch.
FH8000F – The furnace control EAC terminals provide power to the unit only when the furnace blower is
operating. These models are designed to be powered from the electronic air cleaner (EAC) terminals on a furnace
control board. If EAC terminals are not available, an alternative airow sensing mechanism such as the Honeywell
50027910-001 Differential Pressure Switch must be used to ensure the Honeywell Enhanced Air Cleaner is only
powered when airow is present. Contact your local Honeywell distributor for information on alternatives.
