INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The Model 5000 can be installed in a
variety of ways. FIGURES 4-7 show some
of the possibilities.
The air cleaner may be installed on the
left or right side of the air handler. If
installed on the right, the ON/OFF switch
will be on top and the nameplate will be
on the bottom. Remove the nameplate
and rotate it 180° to read properly.
APPLICATIONS WITH A
HUMIDIFIER
An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidier
can be mounted upstream from the air
cleaner.
NOTICE
Do not install an atomizing
humidier upstream of the air
cleaner. Water or mist will cause the
power supply to shut down.
