SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

You will need to turn off your air cleaner to
clean the filters. After cleaning, turn on the unit
by pressing and releasing the Power button.
The backlit Power and Filter Reset button will
illuminate along with first green LED indicating
power is present. When the indoor fan is oper­ating the first green LED will slowly flash. This
indicates the field charger and collection cells
have power and the unit is operating normally.
There is a slight time delay between the indoor
fan starting and LED flashing.

NOTE: There is a 10 minute delay after the
indoor fan operates, before the air cleaner
starts to operate, each time the power to the
air cleaner is turned off/on. This can be
bypassed by going into and then out of the
Set-Up Mode.

!

CAUTION

▲

This equipment should be inspected
frequently and collected dirt removed from it
regularly to prevent excessive accumulation
that may result in flashover or risk of fire.
The field charger should only be removed and
cleaned by authorized service personnel.

CLEANING INDICATORS

Both the pre-filter and the collection cells have
timers which monitor actual run time of the unit
and indicate when cleaning is required. The
time between cleaning can be adjusted based
on your preferences and conditions in the
home. See the SET-UP MODE section on
page 5 to change the filter timers.

The red PRE-FILTER light will illuminate when
it is time to clean the pre-filter.

Your air filtration system only operates when
the air is circulating through the indoor unit.
The air filtration system is most effective at
cleaning the air if the fan operates
continuously. Most thermostats have a setting
that will permit continuous fan operation.
Continuous fan mode during Cooling
operation may not be appropriate in humid
climates. If the indoor air exceeds 60%
relative humidity or simply feels
uncomfortably humid, it is recommended that
the fan only be used in the AUTO mode.
In normal operation, the air cleaner may make
a slight sound as the air passes through it and
is cleaned. In some applications, you may
notice this sound coming from the return air
vent(s). If desired, this sound level can be
reduced with minimal impact on air cleaning
efficiency by reducing the power setting of the

field charger in the set-up mode (see p.5-6).

MAINTENANCE

In normal use, the pre-filter should be cleaned
every 2 months and the collection cells should
be cleaned every 6 months. The field charger
should be cleaned only by a qualified service

technician annually.

The clean/dirty light bar indicator will
illuminate as the system cleans the air in your
home. The lights will progress from green to
yellow then to red. When the last red indicator
is flashing it is time to clean the collection
cells.

REMOVING FILTERS FOR
CLEANING

♦ Turn the furnace/ air conditioning system off
at the thermostat.

High voltage is present within the air cleaner
for operation. Before removing the door, turn
the power off and wait at least 15 seconds to
allow voltage to discharge.

♦ Turn off power by pushing and holding the
power button for approximately three seconds
until all the LED’s illuminate. Release the
power button. The LED’s will remain on until
the voltage has discharged and it is safe to
remove the door.
This requires approximately 15 seconds. Do
