Power Supply Kit for Electronic Air Cleaner

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

APPLICA TION

These kits replace the power supplies with W8600E solid­state performance indicators (SSPI) used in the F50F and
F58F Electronic Air Cleaners. See Table 1.

NOTE: The W8600E Remote Performance Indicator

driver circuit board has been calibrated with the
power supply in this kit. False wash indications
will occur if used with a different power supply.

Table 1 when servicing the F50F or F58F
Electronic Air Cleaners that were modified with
the 203365A Transformer Kit to operate at 220/
240 Vac.

The power supply board in the 208414H Kit has been
calibrated to provide a selectable ionizer current output.
Select the correct ionizer current by moving the J6 shorting
bar to the correct position. See Tables 1 and 2. See Fig. 8
for location of J6. All other kits have single-current output.

■ Remove and discard W8600E terminal block and

■ Remove and set aside the sheetmetal screws holding

the board in place.

■ Discard the old power supply.

Install New Power Supply

■ When replacing the power supply, reuse the remain-

ing leadwires in the air cleaner when removing the old
power supply.

■ Install W8600E terminal block and wiring supplied

with this kit using screws previously removed.

■ Align the mounting holes and mount the new power

supply in the air cleaner, using the sheetmetal screws
removed earlier. Orient the power supply so P1 and
P2 are toward the front (closest to the switch and
neon light).

■ Route the remaining leads so the P3 and P4 leads

are separate from the low voltage leads. Route all
high voltage leads around, rather than over, the power
supply board. Low voltage leads can go over the
power supply board.

■ Connect leads to the terminals on the new power supply.

IMPORTANT

Do not splice ionizer and collector leads. These
leads must be unbroken to avoid electrical shock
through the connector or tape covering the splice.

■ Plug the electronic air cleaner directly into the correct

voltage and frequency outlet or reconnect power for
directly wired devices. See Fig. 3 or 4 for internal
schematic. The air cleaner operates correctly at any
fan speed on a multispeed or modulated speed
system wired with conduit or plugged in.

NOTE: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product

has a grounding type plug with a third (ground­ing) pin. This plug fits only into a grounding type
power outlet. If the plug does not fit into the
outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do

not

change the plug in any way.

CHECKOUT

IMPORTANT

The following instructions are for use only by
qualified personnel.

With all components in place, turn on the air cleaner switch
and energize the system blower. Check the following
points of operation:

1. The neon light next to the on-off switch is on. If a
W8600E is part of the installation, check the wall
panel and make sure the ON LED is lighted. The
W8600E CHECK LED comes on if there is a
problem with the high voltage power supply.

2. Turn off the system blower. The neon light should go
off after a few seconds. The neon light shows that
the air cleaner is energized and the high voltage
power supply is working properly.

3. Turn on the system blower. With the air cleaner
energized, push the test button. A snapping sound
indicates that the collector voltage is present on the
cell. The W8600E CHECK LED comes on when the
test button is held down.

4. With a multispeed blower, repeat steps 1 through 3
for each fan speed.

5. If operation is not as described, refer to the Trouble­shooting and Service section.

Modification To Reduce Ozone Odor

W ARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD.
Can Cause Personal Injury

Always disconnect power before opening power
supply cover.

The electronic air cleaner generates a small amount of
ozone in normal operation. During the first or second week
of operation, the amount may be higher because of sharp
edges on some of the new high voltage metal parts.
Normal use quickly dulls these edges.

The average person can detect the odor of ozone in
concentrations as low as 0.003 to 0.010 parts per million
(ppm). The electronic air cleaner contributes 0.005 to

0.010 ppm of ozone to the indoor air. The U.S. Food and
Drug Administration and Health and Welfare Canada
recommend that indoor ozone concentration does not
exceed 0.050 ppm. As a comparison, the
level in major cities is sometimes as high as 0.100 ppm.

However, if desired, the ozone generated by the air
cleaner can be reduced in one of two ways:

1. Install an activated carbon filter downstream from
the air cleaner. Make sure particles from the air filter
cannot fall into the air cleaner.

W ARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD.
Can Cause Personal Injury.

Only a trained service technician should perform
the following procedure.

outdoor

ozone

2. To reduce ozone production about 20 to 25 percent
and reduce efficiency about seven to ten percent,
depending on actual airflow delivered by the furnace
blower:

a. Unplug or disconnect power supply to the air

cleaner.
b. Open the access door.
c. Remove the power box cover. See Fig. 1.
d. Locate J5 shorting bar on the power supply.

See Fig. 8. Remove the shorting bar and

reinstall on only one pin.

NOTE: The ozone will be reduced, and the

shorting bar is available for reinstallation, if
needed.

e. Replace the power supply cover and access

door. Turn on the power.
f. Repeat the checkout procedure before leaving

the job.
