HOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKSHOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKS
Dirt particles flowing through the ducts (Figure 1) first enters
the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint, etc.) are
trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, etc.) pass
through these pre-filters and enter the ionizing section (B).
Here each tiny particle receives a positive electrical charge.
These charged particles then enter the collecting section
(C). This section consists of a series of aluminum plates
which are alternately charged negative and positive.
The positive charge of the particles cause them to be
repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the negative
plates where they are collected . . . just as a magnet
attracts iron filings.
Clean-filtered air re-enters the supply duct system.
White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)
White Dust (Lint)
White Dust (Lint)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.

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.

Your air filter must be mounted in the return air duct of a
central forced-air system, on the air entering side of your
furnace. (See Figure 3 for example.)
Select a location that meets the following:
1. The face of the cell will be at a right angle to the air
stream.
2. Allow the following clearances to permit removal of
cells and pre-filters: (See Figures 4 and 5)
Model SST1000 - 14 inches
Model SST1400 - 15 inches
Model SST1600 - 14 inches

filter.
If your furnace duct system has a pre-installed boot,
discard front cover of boot and slide the air cleaner
component inside the boot. For installation of Air Cleaner
Retrofit (ACR) kits, see page 13.
If furnace opening cannot be enlarged to required size, a
transition sheet metal section must be used. Transition
must be planned for each job. Reduction should not be
more than 4 inches per linear foot, approximately 20
angular degrees (Figure 3).

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
The following is a typical installation of the air cleaner on
a “Highboy” furnace (Figure 8).
1. Place the air filter cleaner on the floor. Stand it upright
with the power door facing you (Figure 4). If a
horizontal installation is being planned, lay the cleaner
on its side, this will help you to visualize the relative
location of all parts.
Allow ample space for wiring and servicing the power
supply box (Figure 13).
2. Release the latch, remove the power pack (by grasping handle and pulling power pack away from cabinet)
and set it aside. Remove the collecting cells and prefilters. Set pre-filters and cells aside in a safe location
until the cabinet is installed.
3. Set the cabinet next to the furnace. If necessary,
enlarge the opening in the furnace (if possible) to
match the opening in the cabinet.
If the furnace opening cannot be enlarged, a transition fitting should be used. (Figure 3).
The cabinet can be attached directly (Figure 13), or
a starting collar can first be fitted to the furnace inlet.
A butt or slip joint can be used.
Securely attach the cabinet to furnace inlet, using at
least two of the mounting holes on each side of the
cabinet.
4. Using butt joint, attach duct work (normally an elbow)
to the upstream side of air cleaner cabinet. (Note the
use of the sheet metal turning vanes inside the elbow
to improve air distribution over the face of the cells.)
(Figure 14)
NOTE: NOTE:
NOTE: An optional method of attaching duct work to the
NOTE: NOTE:
cabinet is to modify the cabinet (Figure 15) by bending the
tabs outward at a 90° angle and attaching duct work to
tabs.
Transition FittingsTransition Fittings
Transition Fittings
Transition FittingsTransition Fittings
If the air duct does not fit the cabinet opening, a transition
fitting should be used. Gradual transitions are preferred
for greatest efficiency. Not more than four inches per
linear foot (approximately 20° angle) should be allowed
(Figure 3).

5. Connect the vertical duct section to the elbow. Wedge
a wood block between floor and elbow for support
(Figure 16).
6. Seal all joints in the return air system downstream
from the air cleaner with duct tape to prevent dust
from entering the air stream. Tape is usually applied
on the outside of ducts, but may also be applied on the
inside, or both.

8. This air cleaner unit has no air flow monitor installed,
it does require electrical wiring through the furnace
controls. Connect wiring to the furnace control terminals. (EAC-H) for power, (EAC-N) for neutral, and
connect metal frame of EAC to ground. If air flow
monitor is required for operation, order F859-0381 Air
Flow kit. Install kit and connect a 120 VAC 60 Hz input
circuit. A 20 amp circuit is more than adequate.
9. Remove junction box cover and install the required
bushing into the 3/4 in. Knock out. With the supply
voltage turned off, route three (3) wires into junction
box for connections. (See Fig. 17.)
Insure all wires are clamped, wire connectors properly installed and grommets used to prevent wire
abrasion.
10. With the cabinet Installed, reinstall pre-filter(s) and
collecting cell(s) (Figure 19).
NOTE: The contact button and handles on the cell
must be facing you and ionizing wires must be on the
air intake side.
11. Install the power pack as follows:
Engage the lip on lower inside edge of power pack in
the flange on cabinet and carefully close the power
pack, making sure that the electrical connector prongs
on the power pack enter the slots in the socket on
cabinet. When the power pack is fully in place, engage the latch and snap it closed.

1. With the 120 VAC power turned on at the circuit
breaker for the furnace, push the air cleaner ON-OFF
switch to the “ON” position (Figure 20).
2. With the furnace blower running, the air cleaner will
be operating. An arcing or “snapping” sound may be
heard. This will occur occasionally, however the unit
is operating properly.
3. With the furnace blower running, the Operating Light
should be ON. If the Operating Light is not ON this
signifies that the cells need washing, or that trouble
exists in the unit.
If, after washing the cells, the Operating Light stays off,
the cell could be wet, improperly placed in the cabinet or
may need servicing.
NOTE: NOTE:
NOTE: An occasional flicker of the light accompanied by
NOTE: NOTE:
harmless sparking or snapping noise may occur. This is
caused by trapping large particles of dirt. If arcing is
continuous, the cells should be washed or checked for

For maximum efficiency your air cleaner cell(s) and prefilter(s) should be inspected once a month and cleaned
when necessary. Cleaning will usually be required every
one to three months, depending upon the particular
household circumstances. When cleaning is required the
following procedure should be used:
CLEANING THE CELLSCLEANING THE CELLS
CLEANING THE CELLS
CLEANING THE CELLSCLEANING THE CELLS
1. Turn the air moving system “OFF.”
2. Push the ON-OFF switch on the power pack to the
“OFF” position (Figure 20). Wait 15 seconds and both
the power pack and the collecting cell(s) will be
automatically discharged.
3. Release the latch on top of power pack and pull the
power pack straight away from cabinet at the top.
Then lift pack out of ledge at bottom edge of cabinet.
Set power pack aside.
4. Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from cabinet.
Using a solution of warm water and low sudsing
detergent, soak cell(s) and pre-filter(s) for 20 to 30
minutes.
NOTE: NOTE:
NOTE: Ionizing wires may become coated causing
NOTE: NOTE:
loss of cleaning ability by the collecting cell. Using a
damp cloth, wipe each ionizing wire, exercising care
not to damage them.

process.
7. Reinstall the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) in the cabinet.
8. Replace the power pack. Turn furnace fan on. After
30 minutes push ON-OFF switch on the power pack
to the “ON” position.
A moderate amount of arcing or “snapping” may
occur at this time, which will indicate that the cell(s)
are still damp. If the noise is objectionable, push the
ON-OFF switch to the “OFF” position and allow
additional time for cell(s) and pre-filter(s) to dry. In
some cases the Operating Light will remain OFF
during this initial activation of the air cleaner, and this
would indicate that the cell(s) are not completely dry.
The Operating Light should remain ON while the
furnace fan is running once the drying is complete.
