requirements.
DID YOU GET THE RIGHT SIZE AIR CLEANER?
The 1000 CFM Unit is designed for heating or cooling blowers
delivering 600 to 1200 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) which is
usually found in homes or apartments below 1200 sq. ft.
The 1400 CFM Unit is designed for heating or cooling blowers
delivering 800 to 1600 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) which is
-usually found in medium sized homes or apartments. The 2000
CFM Unit is capable of handling blowers delivering 1400 to 2200
CFM in larger living units. Before installing yourair cleaner make
sure you have selected the proper size unit for your particular
requirements.
CAUTION: The manufacturer will not assume any
responsibility for component failures due to incorrect
installation procedures.
RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. Read this Installation and Service Manual carefully.
Failure to follow these rules and instructions could cause
a malfunction of air cleaner or unsatisfactory service.
2. Check your local codes and utility requirements before
installation. . The installation must comply with their
directives.
3. Before servicing ‘always shut off electricity. This will
prevent any electrical shocks.
4. Follow a regular service and r maintenance schedule for
efficient operation.
HOW YOUR AIR CLEANER WORKS
Л
Dirt laden air flowing through the ducts (figure 1) first a
enters the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint, DIRTY AIR IN — CLEAN AIR OUT
etc.) are trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, |;
etc.) pass through these pre-filters and enter the ionizing pme
section (B). Here each tiny particle receives a positive "o
electrical charge. These charged particles then enter the E
collecting section (C). This section consists of a series of 1 to
aluminum plates. Alternate plates are charged positively. I] —
The positive charge of the particles causes them to be | iu
repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the negative |
plates where they are collected... just as a magnet attracts — |
iron filings. Thus, only cieaned-filtered air leaves the air —
cleaner and re-enters the supply duct system.

LOCATING THE AIR CLEANER
Your Electronic Air Cleaner 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)
10C24M-39000 1000 CFM -15 inches
14C24M-39000 1400 CFM - 15 inches
20C24M-39000 2000 CFM - 15 inches
For complete dimension data refer to figure b.
3. The air cleaner is not to be placed in the discharge of
either the heating or cooling unit.

4. IMPORTANT: If atomizing (spray type) humidifier is
used, it must be installed downstream from the air
cleaner. - |
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 lineal foot, approximately 20
angular degrees (figure 3).
DIRECTION OF AIR FLOW
THROUGH THE AIR CLEANER
Your air cleaner is shipped from the factory with air flow
from left-to-right. If this air flow is suitable for the
installation, no further changes need to be made (figure 4).
For right-to-left air flow, remove both pre-filters and cell
sections. Turn cells upside down {with the same side facing
the cabinet opening). This will locate the ionizing wires at
the right, and both contact buttons and cell handles will be
facing the power door. Air flow direction must agree with
arrow embossed on end of collecting cells.
After installing the cell sections, install pre-filters in cabinet
tracks on the right. This will again place the pre-filters on
the intake side {on the same side as ionizing wires).

CLEAN BLOWER COMPARTM ENT
NOTE: It is suggested that the furnace blower
compartment, blower and blower housing be cleaned to
ensure clean air circulation.
INSTALLATION
The following is a typical installation of the air cleaner on a
“High-boy” furnace (figure8).
1. Place the air cleaner on the floor. Stand it upright with
the power door facing you (figure 4). If a horizontal
installation is being planned, lay the air 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 junction box (figure 13). и
2. Release the latch, remove the power pack (by grasping
handle and pulling door away, from cabinet) and set it
aside (figure 4). Remove the collecting cells and pre-
filters. Set pre-filters and cells aside in a safe location
until the cabinet is installed.
3. Set the cabinet next to the furnace at selected location.
If necessary, enlarge the opening in the furnace (if pos-
sible) 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 cab-
inet to furnace inlet, using at least two of the mounting
holes on each side of the cabinet.
4. Using butt joint, attach ductwork {normally an elbow)
to the upstream side of air cleaner cabinet. (Note the use
of the sheet metal turning vanes inside the elbow. (figure
14) Although not necessary they will improve air dis-
tribution over the face of the cells.)
NOTE: An optional method of attaching ductwork to
cabinet is to modify the cabinet (figure 15) by bending
the tabs outward at a 90° angle and attaching ductwork
to tabs.
Transition Fittings
If the air duct does not fit the cabinet opening, a trans-
ition fitting should be used. Gradual transitions are pre-
ferred for greatest cleaning efficiency. Not more than
four inches per lineal 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 cleaned airstream. Tape is usually applied
on the outside of ducts, but may also be applied on the
inside, or both
| FIG.17 WIRING
JUNCTION BOX
7. WIRING
CAUTION: Electrical power to furnace shall be turned
off or disconnected at the circuit breaker.
After the cabinet has been installed the aircleaner is ready
| for wiring. The air cleaner must be wired to a 120-volt AC,
60-cycle power source.
With air flow monitor installed in the power pack, the
electronic air cleaner can be wired directly to a 120-volt
AC, 60-cycle power source per Figure 17. |
. With the cabinet installed, re-install pre-filters and
collecting cells (Fig. 18).
NOTE: The contact button and handles onthecellmustbe
facing you and ionizing wires must be on the air intake
side.
Install the power pack as follows: Engage the lip on lower
inside edge of door in the flange on cabinet and carefully
close the door, making sure that the two electrical connector '
prongs on the door enter the slots in the socket on cabinet.
When the door isfully in >lace,engage the latch and snap it
closed.

PERFORMANCE
LIGHT
ON-OFF
SWITCH
. 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 19). |
. With the furnace blower running, the air cleaner will be
operating. An arcing or “snapping” sound will often be
heard. This will occur occasionally, however the unit is
operating properly.
. The performance light should be on. When out, the
performance light signifies that the cells need washing,
or that trouble exists in the unit.
If, after washing the cells, the performance light stays
off, the cell could be improperly placed in the cabinet,
or needs servicing. В
NOTE: An occasional flicker of the light accompanied
by harmless sparking or shapping noise may occur
occasionally. It is caused by trapping large particles of
dirt. If arcing is continuous, the cells should be washed.
. The air cleaner is equipped with an air
flow switch (Key 16) which turns the
unit "On" or "Off" as the furnace fan
cycles. It may be "wired out" to leave
the unit "On" continuously for service
checks. Refer to Tech Sheet Publication
846-0540. NOTE: When the furnace is
"Off" an occasional flicker of the
operation light may be observed because
of drafts within the ductwork.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
For maximum efficiency, your air cleaner should be inspected
at least once a month and cleaned when necessary.
1.
Push the ON-OFF switch on power pack to the off position
(figure 19). Wait 15 seconds and both the power pack and
the collecting cell will be automatically discharged.
. Release the latch by turning the handle and pull the door
straight away from cabinet at the top. Then lift it out of
ledge at bottom edge of cabinet. Set the power pack door
aside.
. Remove the cells and pre-filters from the cabinet. Cells
and pre-filters should be given a thorough detergent
washing (using an automatic dishwasher type detergent).
Follow with a thorough rinsing until cells are clean.
4. NOTE: Using a damp cloth and exercising care, wipe each
ionizing wire clean. The ionizing wires become coated and
they must also be cleaned properly to ensure trouble free
problems.
5. Wait approximately 2 hours forrinse water to stop dripping
from the cells, then re-install the cells into the cabinet.
Caution should be exercised to replace cells correctly.
Shake excess water from the pre-filters, then re-install
them into the cabinet.
. Replace the power pack. Push ON-OFF switch on power
pack to the on position. Turn the furnace fan on. A
moderate amount of arcing and “snapping” may occur
when the fan starts. This arcing will not damage the cells. If
the noise is objectionable, push the ON-OFF switch to the
off position and allow additional time for the celis and
screens to dry.
