F200E CHARGED-MEDIA AIR CLEANER

Media Replacement :

Replace the filter at least annually or when the built-in pressure sensors in the F200E door detect that airflow is impaired and the filter requires cleaning. This condition causes the indicator light on the F200E door t begin flashing and the transmitter to send a signal to the wall-mounted RF

Indicator that the filter needs replacing.

After replacing the filter, press the reset button on the F200E door to reset both the door indicator light and the RF

AIRWATCH Air Cleaner Indicator. (See Table 1 for

AIRWATCH operation.)

Applications With Air Conditioning

Mount the media air cleaner upstream of the evaporator coil in a cooling system. The filter will help to keep the coil clean and reduce maintenance.

Applications With A Humidifier

The media air cleaner is compatible with humidifiers. Avoid applications where water mist will reach the media. If an atomizing humidifier is used, the filter media will require replacement more often because of minerals in the water.

Choose Mounting Position

The media air cleaner can be mounted in any position, but the arrow on the cartridge must point in the same direction as the airflow. See Figs. 3-10 for proper location of the media air cleaner for a variety of furnace installations. Note that the media air cleaner cabinet is sturdy enough to easily support the weight of the furnace and evaporator coil. See Fig. 4.

M14786

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

Location

The media air cleaner should be installed where all the air passing through the system is circulated through it. The best location is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment so the media air cleaner can help to keep the blower motor and evaporator coils clean. Do not mount in the supply air duct.

For most efficient air cleaning, spread airflow evenly across the face of the media. If the duct is a different size than the media air filter cabinet, gradual transitions are required. If the duct turns sharply just before the air filter, turning vanes are required.

Choose a location that is readily accessible for checking and replacing the filter. Allow at least 26 in. (660 mm) clearance in front of the unit for removal of the cartridge.

Install the media air filter where the temperature will not exceed the ratings in the Specifications.

Offsets

If the duct connection to the furnace in a side installation allows less than 7 in. (178 mm) for mounting media air cleaner cabinet, attach an offset to the elbow. See Fig. 13.

Determining Sheetmetal Requirements

The media air cleaner is adaptable to all new or existing forced air heating and cooling systems used in residential applications. Transitions or turning vanes may be required in some applications for effective media air cleaner operation.

Transitions

Transitions are needed when the duct is a different size than the media air cleaner cabinet. Follow these guidelines when fabricating:

1. Use gradual transitions to reduce air turbulence and increase efficiency. See Fig. 11.

2. Use no more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per running ft. (100 mm per 300 linear mm)) of expansion on each side of a transition fitting.

Turning Vanes

If the media air cleaner is installed next to an elbow or angle fitting, add turning vanes inside the angle to distribute airflow more evenly across the face of the media. See Fig 12.

INSTALLATION AND CHECKOUT

When Installing this Product…

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could damage the media air filter or cause a hazardous condition.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the media air cleaner to make sure the product is suitable for your application.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.

Remove Furnace Filter And Clean Blower

Compartment

Before starting the installation, remove and discard the existing furnace filter (if used). Thoroughly clean the blower compartment. If possible, power vacuum the ductwork to remove accumulated dust in an occupied home or remove construction dirt in a new home. The media air cleaner cannot remove dirt that has settled in the blower compartment and distribution ducts.

Install The Cabinet

The following procedure describes a typical side installation on an existing highboy furnace. Alternate procedures are noted as appropriate. Other changes in installation procedures may be necessary to complete your installation.

Review The Installation Plan

Temporarily place the cabinet on the floor, oriented as it will be when installed. Insert and remove the cartridge to make sure the plan allows adequate clearance for easy removal and replacement of the cartridge.

Make sure that shop-fabricated sheetmetal components, such as turning vanes, are available.

Fasten The Cabinet To The Furnace

Align the cabinet with the return air opening. Place blocks under the cabinet, as necessary, to make sure the unit sits securely. Create an opening in the furnace to match the cabinet opening. Attach the cabinet securely to the furnace.

Attach the unit directly or fit a starting collar in the furnace opening. Either drill holes and fasten with sheetmetal screws or rivets, or use slip joints. If you are drilling holes, use a locking pliers to help hold the unit in place during drilling.

Install Turning Vanes

Install turning vanes to help distribute air equally over the full surface of the upstream side of the media. Install them whenever an abrupt 90 degree elbow is installed directly against the media air cleaner cabinet.

Fasten Cabinet To Ductwork

Fasten side of cabinet to the ductwork using sheet-metal screws, rivets, or slip joints, as appropriate.

Connect Ductwork

Connect the vertical duct section to the elbow. If the vertical drop of the duct is less than 7 in. (178 mm) from the side of the furnace, shorten the horizontal trunk or attach an offset fitting to the elbow. See Fig. 12. When ductwork is properly aligned, connect the vertical duct to the horizontal trunk.

Seal Joints

Seal all joints in the return air system between the media air filter and the furnace to prevent dust from entering the clean airstream.

Install Filter Cartridge

Slide the filter cartridge into the cabinet, making sure the arrow on the cartridge points in the direction of air flow.

Replace access door. Insert the tab on the bottom of the door into the slot in the cabinet. Swing the door closed and press it into place.

Install RF AIRWATCH™ Indicator

The AIRWATCH Indicator provides a signal when the F200F filter needs replacing. When the filter begins restricting airflow because of accumulated dirt, pressure sensors in the F200E initiate a radio frequency signal to be sent to the AIRWATCH

Indicator. The AIRWATCH Indicator also provides the capability to track when the humidifier pad and the ultraviolet air treatment lamps need replacing.

To set up the AIRWATCH Indicator to accept signals from the F200E transmitter:

1.

Push and hold the AIRWATCH Indicator button until all four arrows come on (about five seconds).

2.

Push the reset button on the F200E door within two minutes.

3.

Observe that the Indicator arrows continue to flash for about two minutes and then automatically reset.

The AIRWATCH Indicator default setting is UV Light and

Humidifier timers are disabled; the Filter indicator is always enabled. To display active timers:

1. Press and hold the button on the AIRWATCH Indicator for about three seconds.

2. Observe the arrow showing the active timer(s).

To activate a timer:

1. Press and release the AIRWATCH Indicator button until the desired device is selected, as indicated with the flashing arrow.

2. Press and hold the button until the arrow stops flashing.

3. Release the button while the arrow is on.
