NEW UNIT INSPECTION

Immediately upon receiving the unit, carefully examine the carton for damage during transit. If unit is damaged, contact the last carrier for filing claim and your TRION

Representative.

While unpacking the unit, look for concealed shipping damage. If there is damage it should be reported to the last carrier for filing claim and your TRION

Representative.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The Trion Model M2500 consists of four basic components:

1. A cabinet for housing all components

2. A blower

3. Electrical components and wiring

4. Collecting components (filters).

The air in any room contains a virtually unlimited number of particles. The composition of the particulate will vary depending on the environment. The dust may be in the form of smoke, airborne dirt from outdoors, small particles of grease, etc. The size of the particles

(or particulate) will range from as little as sub-micron to anything large enough to remain airborne. (A micron is one millionth of a meter.)

When the power is turned on, the blower begins moving the air through the pre-filter section. The pre-filter collects the large dust and lint particles. The air then enters the main filter where the smoke and other smaller particles are trapped in the fibers of the bag filter. The cleaned air then passes through the unit and back into the room.

PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

This Manual should be carefully read before starting the preparation and installation of the air cleaner.

CAUTION:

The installation should conform to all local ordinances associated with building codes and electrical codes required for the unit. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installation is made. If there are no local codes, the installation should conform to the

National Electrical Code.

For maximum air cleaning efficiency, your air cleaner should be located as specified by your TRION

Representative.

The Model M2500 is recommended for use for dry applications only.

The unit can be either wall-mounted or suspended. Eye bolts are supplied with the unit in order to suspend with chain.

NOTE:

Handling the cabinet is easier if you remove the cleaning components to remove excess weight.

POST MOUNTING

The bracket is used when the unit must be attached to a supporting wall or support column or post. When attaching the bracket to the wall, holes must be drilled completely through the wall and bolts with backplates used to secure bracket.

The bracket may be attached to a support column or post using nuts and bolts or by welding.

1. Drill four 3/8” mounting holes using the round indentations formed in the cabinet bottom panel for location.

2. Raise unit into position on the mounting bracket and secure to the bracket with four 5/16” x 1-1/4” bolts. Use two nuts per bolt, tightening them together to prevent loosening by vibration.

3. Re-install the cleaning components.

CAUTION:

THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF THE MODEL M2500 IS

180 LBS. ANY MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT MUST BE

ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS WEIGHT. FAILURE TO

DETERMINE IF MOUNTING IS SUBSTANTIAL MAY

RESULT IN DAMAGE OR INJURY WITHIN THE AREA.

SUSPENDED MOUNTING

The following materials will be needed to suspend the unit from the ceiling:

A. 2/0 chain minimum rated at 205 lbs. working load.

B. 12 lap links.

C. 4-5/16” diameter eye bolts with two nuts per bolt supplied with the unit.

D. 4-3” adjustable turnbuckles with eyebolts.

Below is a diagram of mounting brackets designed for use when the unit cannot be hung from the ceiling.

CAUTION:

NO LESS THAN FOUR (4) CHAINS MAY BE USED TO

SUSPEND UNIT FROM CEILING. CHAINS SHOULD

NOT ANGLE FROM CEILING TO UNIT MORE THAN

15 DEGREES.

1. Remove the collecting components from the unit.

This will reduce the weight to be lifted.

2. Drill four 3/8” mounting holes, using the round indentations formed in the cabinet top panel for location.

3. Install the eyebolts provided using two nuts per bolt.

The nuts should be tightened together to prevent loosening by vibration.

4. Secure the chain to the ceiling by wrapping chains around beam or joist and securing with a lap link

(total of four chains).

5. Fasten the turnbuckles to the eyebolts at each corner of the unit using four lap links. Fasten the remaining lap links to the free end of the turnbuckles.

6. Screw the turnbuckles out to approx. ½ full extension.

7. Raise unit up to chains, and fasten lap links to chains. Adjust turnbuckles until unit is level.

8. Re-install the collecting components.

For alternate installation methods, contact your local

TRION Representative.

CAUTION:

DO NOT TAKE CHANCES. IF YOU ARE UNSURE

ABOUT THE PRECEEDING METHOD, OR ANY

OTHER INSTALLATION METHODS, STOP THE

INSTALLTION UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED THAT THE

METHOD OR PROCEDURE IS CORRECT, OR

CONTACT YOUR TRION REPRESENTATIVE.

The Model M2500 is shipped with a power cord suitable for plugging into a standard 3-wire, 120 Volt wall outlet

(see Wiring Diagram). The outlet must have available 15

Amps at 120 Volts for proper operation. The power cord must be protected against damage.

CAUTION:

DO NOT REMOVE THE THIRD PRONG ON THE

POWER CORD. THIS UNIT (AS WITH MOST

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES) MUST BE GROUNDED

FOR SAFE OPERATION.

near the initial pressure reading. When the pressure reading, with new pre-filter, shows little improvement

(less than 0.1”) allow unit to run until recommended final pressure is reached. At that point, both pre-filter and main filter should be replaced.

Once a pattern has been established, the pre-filters can be replaced on a calendar basis with the main filter being replaced when the gauge reads as

“Recommended Final” in the table.

For example, if the unit takes six weeks to go from 0.63

to 0.85, the pre-filter would then be replaced every six weeks until no change occurred in the pressure reading when the pre-filter is replaced.

NOTE:

THE UNIT CAN CONTINUE TO RUN BEYOND THE 1.0

PRESSURE READING; HOWEVER AIR FLOW WILL

BE REDUCED FURTHER. DO NOT ALLOW THE

MOTOR TO OVERHEAT.

UNIT OPERATION

Plug the Model M2500 unit into a standard wall receptacle. If the receptacle is not of the 3-wire grounded type, an adapter can be purchased at any local electrical store.

To turn the unit on, move the 3-speed selector switch to the “ON” position. The blower should begin to move the air around the room.

MAINTENANCE

Precision equipment such as your TRION Air Cleaner will require a minimum amount of maintenance to keep it in good operating condition. All normal preventative maintenance can be done by you, or your local TRION

Representative may offer a maintenance and cleaning contract. Contact him for details.

CAUTION:

ALWAYS TURN THE UNIT OFF BEFORE WORKING

ON OR NEAR THE MOTOR OR ITS WIRING

ASSEMBLY. LOCK THE POWER DISCONNECT IN

THE OPEN POSITION AND TAG TO PREVENT

UNEXPECTED APPLICATION OF POWER.

The collecting components consist of a pre-filter and main filter, which20re accessible through the inlet end of the unit allowing simple, fast replacement.

Filters are changed according to the pressure across the filter. An optional pressure gauge and static pressure taps are available from your TRION Representative.

Install a pressure tap in the unit before the pre-filter and after the bag. Connect these taps to the pressure gauge.

Upon installation of the unit, note the initial pressure reading and record it. Check daily and replace pre-filter after the reading increases 1”. Pressure should return to

4

Hi and Lo connections of pressure gauge: A negative reading indicates that the taps are reversed at the pressure tubes and must be switched.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION OF CABINET:

After the dirty components have been removed, an inspection of the cabinet should be made. Remove all foreign debris and dirt accumulation inside the cabinet.

Check for dirt accumulation on the blower wheel blades, and clean if there is a build-up. Inspect all wiring for loose connections and cracked insulation.

The bearings of both blower and blower motor should be checked for signs of unusual wear.

Rubber gasketing should be checked twice a year. Aging occurs primarily due to ozone present in ambient air that eventually hardens the rubber and causes cracking and loss of seal. Contact your TRION

Representative for replacement.

TROUBLESHOOTING

All TRION Air Cleaners are manufactured to give the user continue, trouble-free service. However, as with all mechanical equipment, breakdowns do occur.

The following chart will enable the user to pinpoint the cause of most problems. Then refer to the “Parts

Ordering Information” Section for replacement parts.

Before troubleshooting the unit, refer to the Wiring

Diagram, check for proper wiring connections and the input line voltage. A minimum voltage of 108 VAC is required.

A special test cord can be made for amperage tests with a clamp-on meter. The cord set is made using three individual insulated wires to connect the terminals of a 3wire, 15 Amp, grounded male plug and a 3-wire 15 Amp, grounded female plug. Use this cord set to connect unit to the wall plug.
