NOTE: The following is a typical installation of the
air cleaner on a highboy furnace. You may have to
alter the installation to fit your particular
application.
1. Locate the cabinet in the cold air return duct
such that all of the return air flows through
the unit. If the furnace and air cleaner
openings are different, use a transition.
2. Mounting holes are provided in the Air
Cleaner cabinet for ductwork attachment. The
.140” diameter holes are sized for #8 sheet
metal screws, or 1/8” rivets. If the adjoining
ductwork is flanged, install the screws with the
screw heads inside the cabinet to prevent
damage to the Air Cleaner Pre-filters and
optional Charcoal After-Filters during removal
and installation during scheduled
maintenance.
3. After the cabinet has been mounted, seal
seams air tight with duct tape or caulking.
ATTENTION: Be especially careful not to cover the
Air Flow Sensor orifice when sealing the air cleaner
and ductwork. This 3/16” diameter hole is located
in the front of the Power Tray Assembly.
4. Refer to the section entitled DIRECTION OF AIR
FLOW - Confirm correct airflow direction.
5. Install Power Tray Assembly onto the cabinet.
6. Install Pre-filters and Ionizing-Collecting Cells
into cabinet.
7. Install unit’s Front Panel Assembly onto
cabinet.

Q. What if I no longer hear any popping or zapping noises coming from my unit? Is it still
cleaning the air?
A. If the zapping noises stop and the air cleaner is not in need of servicing, then one of two
situations has occurred. First, the Electronic Air Cleaner has successfully removed all larger
particles from the air and is cleaning microscopic particles which do not cause the zapping
noises. Second, the HVAC system blower is not operating and air is not flowing through the
ductwork. The Electronic Air Cleaner cannot remove particles if the air stream is not moving.
Q. I lost power to my home during a storm. Should I worry about the Electronic Air Cleaner ?
A. The most common problem associated with power outages is the Electronic Air Cleaner will
not turn on properly after power is restored. If the Green INPUT POWER indicating light is
illuminated, and the Red CELL ENERGIZED indicating light is illuminated while the HVAC
system blower is operating, the unit is operating properly. To reset the Electronic Air
Cleaner, turn the HVAC system blower OFF, turn air cleaner OFF, wait one minute, turn air
cleaner ON, and then turn HVAC system blower ON. If the Red and Green lights do NOT
come on while the HVAC system blower is in operation, after a storm, the power supply in
the Electronic Air Cleaner may be short circuited. Contact your local HVAC contractor for
further assistance.
Q. My installer told me to keep my HVAC system blower running all the time, but I don’t want
to increase my power bill. What should I do?
A. It is recommended that you keep your HVAC system blower operating all the time to
achieve the maximum air cleaning efficiency of the Electronic Air Cleaner. This will allow the
Electronic Air Cleaner to do what it is designed to do, which is clean the air. Remember that
if the air does not reach the air cleaner, it cannot be cleaned. On average, your Electronic
Air Cleaner will use the same amount of electricity as a 55W light bulb. The energy usage
of the HVAC system blower will depend on the age and size of your system, energy costs in
your regional location and other variables.
The best solution is to operate the HVAC system blower in a continuous mode for a month
or two, estimate annual energy costs, and base your final decision with what you feel most
comfortable.
