The PTAC PHI Unit by RGF

The PHI line of products are designed to help eliminate sick building syndrome
risks by reducing odors, air pollutants, bacteria and cold and virus causing
germs through the patented Photohydroionization

®

(PHI) process. The PHI
Cell easily mounts into existing PTAC air conditioning, heating and heat pump
units. When the PTAC system is in operation, the PHI Cell uses an Advanced
Oxidation Process to reduce airborne contaminants.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Your kit contains the following:

• PTAC unit with high voltage 208-265V ballast and 3’ leads

• Four (4) mounting screws

• Four (4) wire nuts

• Two (2) wire tap splice connectors

• Instruction manual

NOTE: BE SURE PTAC UNIT IS UNPLUGGED AND POWER IS

DISCONNECTED BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove plastic housing from PTAC unit by carefully lifting tabs off metal

frame.

CAUTION: NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT AN ILLUMINATED PHI CELL.
THIS DEVICE PRODUCES GERMICIDAL UV LIGHT AND WILL CAUSE

DAMAGE TO EYES

Guardian Air REME HVAC Cell REME or Re-

flective Electro Magnetic Energy utilizes an

electromagnetic energy cell to create ionized

hydro peroxides™, a friendly oxidizer plasma

made from oxygen and humidity. This air purify-

ing plasma is propelled into the HVAC duct or

plenum by a silent plasma propulsion module

that has no moving parts, yet propels the

plasma at 2 cfm. This provides for fan or blower-

less operation on a 24-hour basis. The purifying plasma will be propelled

through the ducts whether the fan or blower is on or not. 24 volt installation

lets the REME run 24/7 without wiring to the fan/blower circuit. The oxidizer

plasma transfers the electrical charge (positively and negatively charged ions)

from the hydro peroxides to suspended (airborne) particles in the occupied

space causing them to bond together. This makes them too heavy to float en-

abling them to be drawn back to the filter. This is an excellent solution for in-

divuals that suffer from dust and dander allergies.

RGF’s Guardian Air PHI is designed to elimi-

nate sick building syndrome risks by reducing

odors, air pollutants, VOCs (chemical odors),

smoke, mold, bacteria and viruses*. The HVAC-

PHI Cells are easily mounted into air condition-

ing and heating systems air ducts where most

sick building problems start. When the HVAC

system is in operation the HVAC-PHI Cell cre-

ates an Advanced Oxidation Process consisting of: Hydro-peroxides, super

oxide ions and hydroxide ions. All are friendly oxidizers that revert back to

oxygen and hydrogen after the oxidation of the pollutant.

of purchase. Hereafter it will need to be returned under a Returned Materials
Authorization (RMA) for review and or repair (if found defective). This warranty
does not cover parts damaged by decomposition from chemical action or wear
caused by abrasive materials, nor does it cover damage resulting from misuse,
abuse, or any other than its intended use, accident, neglect, or from improper
operation, maintenance, installation, modification or adjustments.

THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE

DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF.

To obtain warranty service and return authorization number, contact your
contractor or supplier.

LIMITED WARRANTY COMMON QUESTIONS

How long is the warranty?

•For one (1) year from initial start up.

Are there any parts not covered by this warranty (that the manufaturer
will not repair or replace)?

•Yes. Parts damaged by decomposition from chemical action, hu­midity, moisture, or wear caused by abrasive materials. It does not
cover damage resulting from misuse, abuse, or any other use
other than its intended use. This warranty does not cover acci-
dent, neglect, or from improper operation, maintenance, installa­tion, modification or adjustments.

•Parts not made by Manufacturer. However, your supplier will
process the claim with the other manufacturer.

Steps to take when you have determined that your equipment is mal­functioning within the warranty period.

•Call your contractor or distributor and notify them of the problem or
malfunction. (It may be a simple problem or oversight with a
simple solution.)

•If it is determined that a part is malfunctioning due to a defect, ship

unit to your supplier or call supplier for other means of

return. An Equipment Warranty Form should be completed and

included.

•Your supplier will repair or exchange the defective unit with a work­ing replacement.

Things I should do to avoid problems or injuries when running my
PTAC PHI Equipment.

•Thoroughly read and understand all Operating Instructions,
Warnings and Precautions before commencing application.

•Place unit in a dry area when possible.

• Using wire strippers remove 1/2” of insulation from ends of ballast wires
and cell wires.

• Using supplied wire nuts attach wires from cell to wires from ballast.
Blue to blue and red to red.

• Replace screen.

• Replace cover.

• Reconnect power and turn on unit to verify PHI unit operation.
(Should notice faint blue glow from outlet vent area.)

• Replace enclosure cover

• Ensure PHI power cord is routed as shown (see figure 18)

• Ensure wire does not interfere with squirrel cage operation.

Figure 18

• Locate input power cord terminal (directly below capacitor) and connect
black wire (line) using supplied wire tap splice connector.

• To use the wire tap splice terminal first place around wire and press firmly.

• Now remove 1/2” of insulation from ballast power wire and press into holes
on wire tap splice. White to white (neutral) black to black (line).

• Locate terminal N1 and connect white wire (neutral) using supplied wire
tap splice connector.
