INTRODUCTION
The Plasma Air 100 Series ion generator is a one-tube commercial quality unit intended for installation in air handling
units (AHU), furnaces, or duct systems for residential and commercial applications.
This ionization equipment is effective in reducing harmful pollutants and odors by introducing positive and negative
ions into the system airow. The number of units and the size of the ionization tubes are dependent on the airow in
the system and the severity of the pollution problem. See chart on the back of this manual for selection criteria.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this unit should not be installed downstream of a humidier
or exposed to other sources of moisture.
CAUTION: This product is suitable for mounting into duct of metallic construction only. Installation
must be such that the structural integrity of the ducting is not compromised.
Mount units to allow access to the ionization level adjustment knob and for general maintenance. This product shall
not be installed behind a suspended oor/ceiling or a structural wall, ceiling, or oor.
This product should not be mounted in a location where the air temperature exceeds 140° F. This usually means that
it should not be installed at the outlet of a gas or oil red furnace.
1. Screw the ionization tube using the end cap into the back of the transformer while gently holding the grounding clip
away from the tube.
2. For residential installations, the preferred location
is in the supply air duct leaving the AHU. Be sure
to pick a location before any branch duct take-offs.
Verify that there is sufcient duct depth to allow
clearance for the tube – see Figure 1.
To mount the units in a duct:
a. Trace a 5½" by 5½" square on the surface of
the duct onto which you are mounting the 100
Series. The units have a ange gasket that forms
a seal between the duct and the mounting plate.
b. Cut out the traced portion of the duct using snips
or sheet metal shears.
c. Screw the 100 Series ionizer onto the duct using
sheet metal screws.

3. If the unit cannot be installed in the preferred location due to space or temperature limitations, see Figure 2 for
alternate locations. Units can be installed using “L” shaped brackets available from many hardware suppliers.
4. For commercial applications, the units can be mounted in the supply air duct as long as these ducts are easily
accessible for tube replacement or other service. Units are sometimes mounted inside a roof top AHU using “L”
shaped brackets available at many hardware suppliers. Be sure to select a location within the air handling unit
where there is good air ow. One such location is immediately next to the fan inlet.
