MEDIA AIR CLEANER

HOW YOUR MEDIA AIR CLEANER WORKS

Thank you for purchasing a Honeywell Media Air Cleaner.
Your Honeywell Media Air Cleaner works by capturing small particles, such as dust and pollen, in between thousands of small fibers. These fibers provide high efficiency filtration while allowing air to pass with minimal resistance. Since your heating and cooling system relies on proper air flow to operate correctly, this feature allows improved filtration without impacting the performance of your heating and cooling system.
The 4 inch deep pleated design of the filter in your Honeywell Media Air Cleaner also lasts significantly longer than the typical 1 inch filter it replaces. Compared to typical 1 inch filters, the 4 inch deep pleated design contains a lot more filter area. Increased filter area means that the filter can capture and hold more dust and particles before needing to be changed. As a result, you only need to replace the Honeywell 4 inch deep pleat air filter once or twice per year, in most cases.

HOW YOU CAN MAINTAIN YOUR MEDIA AIR CLEANER

For optimum system performance, you should replace the filter cartridge every six months (before heating season and before cooling season). You may adjust the schedule to fit your particular application, but replace the filter at least annually. With regular replacement of the filter cartridge, your Honeywell Media Air Cleaner should provide years of service.
Replacing Filter Cartridge
(Every 6 Months to 1 year)
1. Obtain the correct replacement filter cartridge for your unit from your retailer. See Table 1.

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR MEDIA AIR CLEANER

IMPORTANT:
Due to differences in how furnaces are installed, it is impossible to provide detailed instructions that cover every installa­tion. The following instructions provide general guidelines on installation of the Media Air Cleaner. It is the responsibility of the installer to determine how to properly install the Media Air Cleaner in accordance with local codes, standards, and accepted building practices.

Determine Best Location for Media Air Cleaner

Equipment Damage Hazard. Can damage or destroy HVAC equipment.
Only install Media Air Cleaner on the return air duct.
Select a location to mount the media air cleaner on the return plenum. See Figs. 3 to 9.
• The media air cleaner should be installed such that all of the air passing through the HVAC system is circulated through the air cleaner.
• The best location is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment.
Do not mount in the supply air duct.
• If installing media air cleaner in system with humidifier, avoid applications where water mist will reach the filter cartridge.
• The media air cleaner can be mounted in any position.
• The metal cabinet is strong enough to support the weight of furnace and evaporator coil.
• Choose a location that is readily accessible for replacing the filter. Allow at least 26 in. clearance in front of the unit for removal of the filter cartridge.
Do not install in locations that get colder than -40 or hotter than 140
• Make sure filter pressure drop will not negatively impact system performance. See Fig. 10.
• Media air cleaner dimensions are given in Fig. 11.
• Make sure the Media Air Cleaner is located at least 3 feet away from any ultraviolet air treatment system, such as the Honeywell RUVLAMP1.

Determine Sheet-Metal Requirements

The media air cleaner is adaptable to all new or existing for forced air heating and cooling systems used in residential applications. Some applications may require transitions, turning vanes, or duct offsets for proper installation of the media air cleaner.
1. Transitions
• Transitions are needed when the duct is a different size than the air cleaner cabinet.
• Use gradual transitions to reduce air turbulence and increase efficiency. See Fig. 12.
• Use no more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per running foot) of expansion on each side of the transition fitting.

2. Turning Vanes
• If the media air cleaner is installed next to an elbow or angel fitting, add turning vanes inside the angle to distribute airflow more evenly across the face of the media. See Fig. 13.
• Turning vanes must be properly secured to prevent movement.
3. Duct Offsets
• If the duct connection to the furnace in a side installation is less than 7 in. you will need to add an offset. See Fig. 14.
• Turning vanes may be required to distribute air flow evenly.

Prepare Furnace for Installation

1. Disconnect power to your heating and cooling system and remove power from any ultraviolet air treatment system that is installed.
2. Remove and discard existing furnace filter. See Fig. 15.
3. Remove furnace blower compartment access cover.
See furnace owners' or installation manual for details.
4. Thoroughly clean the blower compartment using a power vacuum (Shop-Vac).
NOTE: Media Air Cleaner cannot remove dirt that has set-
tled in the blower compartment and distribution ducts.

Disconnect Existing Ductwork

NOTE: Skip this step if the media air cleaner is being
installed on a new system without existing duct that needs to be removed or modified.
1. Review the installation location and verify that there is adequate clearance for removal and replacement of the filter cartridge. See Fig. 16.
2. Make sure that all sheet-metal components, such as transitions and duct offsets, are available.
3. Carefully disconnect the existing ductwork where the air cleaner cabinet is to be installed.
NOTE: Disconnecting ductwork may require removing exist-
ing duct tape, removing sheet metal screws, cutting metal duct, or breaking sealed joints.

Fasten Cabinet to Furnace or Duct

1. Remove door and filter cartridge from air cleaner cabinet. See Figs. 1 and 2.
2. Temporarily place the air cleaner cabinet in position, oriented as it will be when installed.
3. Make sure unit sits securely in position. Place blocks or other support materials under cabinet, as necessary.
4. Create or enlarge opening in the furnace or duct to match the air cleaner cabinet opening.
5. Attach the air cleaner cabinet securely to the furnace using any of the following:
• Drill holes and fasten with sheet metal screws or rivets. (If you are drilling, use locking pliers to help hold the unit in place
while drilling.)
• Use slip joints.
NOTE: Make sure fasteners do not interfere with installation and removal of the filter.

Install Turning Vanes

1. Install turning vanes wherever an abrupt 90 degree elbow is against the media air cleaner cabinet.
2. Secure turning vanes using sheet metal screws or rivets, as appropriate.

Fasten Ductwork to Cabinet

Fasten side of media air cleaner cabinet to ductwork using sheet metal screws, rivets, or slip joints, as appropriate.
NOTE: Make sure fasteners do not interfere with installation and removal of the filter.

Reconnect Existing Ductwork

1. Connect remaining ductwork using sheet metal screws, rivets, or slip joints, as appropriate.
2. Add support straps and bracing to prevent excessive movement.

Seal Duct Joints

1. Seal all duct joints in the return air system between media air cleaner cabinet and the furnace.
NOTE: Use only duct-rated metalized tape or mastic to seal duct connections.

Install Filter Cartridge

1. Slide filter cartridge into cabinet, making sure the “AIR FLOW” arrow on the cartridge is in the direction of air flow (pointing towards furnace).
2. Record installation date in the space provided on the replacement filter cartridge. See Fig. 17.
3. Insert the tab on the bottom of the door into the slot in the cabinet.
4. Swing door closed and press it firmly into place.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use a permanent marker
to draw an arrow showing the proper air flow direc­tion on the top of the cabinet, for future reference. See Fig. 17.
