HOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKS

The enclosed fan circulates the air through the bottom of the
electronic air cleaner and out through the four outlet grilles. The
ionizing section of the collecting cell contains many fine ionizing
wires that charge the incoming airborne particles. The charged
particles move into the collecting plate area and are trapped to the
plates (like a magnet attracts and collects iron filings).

The cleaned air is then drawn through a charcoal filter to assist in
removal of unpleasant odors. The cleaned and purified air is
discharged to recirculate through your building.

White Dust (Lint)

An Electronic Air Cleaner is designed to collect two major types of
contaminants: ➀ Irritants (Pollens, Spores, Molds, Bacteria, etc.)
and ➁ Black Soiling Contaminants (Dirt and Smoke particles).

The residue on the collecting plates of an electronic air cleaner is
black, indicating it is removing dirt from the air stream. After
installing an air cleaner you may notice white dust (typically, long
linty particles or fibers – from carpets, cotton materials or drapery
fabrics). This material is not collected by the air cleaner because it
does not contain the irritants or soiling contaminants listed above or
settles out of the air before reaching the air cleaner. The presence of
white dust does not indicate an air cleaner requires service.

Weight: 66 lbs.
Shipping Weight: 76 lbs.
Efficiency: Efficiency varies with fan speed approximately 96%

at low speed and 87% at hi speed.

NOTE: Unit must run for one full hour after installation. This will

allow the collecting cells to reach peak efficiency.

Carbon (Charcoal) Filters

Odors are gas molecules, not particles. They cannot be removed by
an Electronic Air Cleaner or by any other filtration media designed to
remove airborne particles. However, some gases can be absorbed
by an activated carbon filter or diluted with fresh outdoor air. When
odors are present, the addition of charcoal filters will neutralize
odors, such as cooking odors, pet odors, cigar and cigarette odors,
ozone, etc. Optional charcoal filters are available for your Air
Cleaner. Refer to the parts list for the charcoal filter part number for
your Air Cleaner. Charcoal filters require replacement. They cannot
be washed. While there is no rule of thumb for how often they should
be changed, you can use your best judgement based on the odors
you perceive in your environment.

INSTALLATION

PLACEMENT

The installer must be qualified to make approved electrical
connections and a safe ceiling installation with attention to the
best placement as shown in the following drawings.

The electronic air cleaner should be mounted on the ceiling near
the center of the room. Air is drawn through the bottom of the air
cleaner and discharged in four directions. Divide larger rooms
into sections and use a unit in each section (see Fig. 2).

Mounting Detail

Be sure to select the mounting location so that the structure
above is sufficiently strong to support the unit (approximately 70
lbs). See Fig.4.

CAUTION: Do not allow the unit to be supported by the
ceiling tile grid suspension.

FIG. 2 Divide large room into areas

Check existing air circulation in the room. The air cleaner should
be installed so that it aids the circulation already established.
When air flow patterns are not immediately apparent, observe
the smoke from a cigarette in various locations within the room.
Do not locate the air cleaner near a heating or air conditioning
intake or exhaust vent if it interferes with the air flow discharge
and return air to the heating or air conditioning unit.

CEILING MOUNT

The air cleaner is mounted to the ceiling. The mounting holes in
the unit are spaced 16” and 261/2” between centers (Fig. 3).
