SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installation and servicing of this equipment can be hazardous due

to mechanical and electrical components. Only trained and

qualified personnel should install, repair, or service this equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such

as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other operations must be

performed by trained service personnel. When working on this

equipment, observe precautions in the literature, on tags, and on

labels attached to or shipped with the unit and other safety

precautions that may apply. Follow all safety codes. Installation

must be in compliance with local and national building codes.

Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and work gloves. Have

fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and

follow all warnings or cautions included in literature and attached

to the unit.

Recognize safety information. This is the safety-- alert symbol

When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or

manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Understand these signal words; DANGER, WARNING, and

CAUTION. These words are used with the safety--alert symbol.

DANGER identifies the most serious h azards which will result in

severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards

which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used

to identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal

injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight

suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability , or

operation.

INTRODUCTION

These instructions cover the installation, operation and

maintenance of an EACB Electronic Air Cleaner.

This electronic air cleaner is technically known as a two-- stage

electrostatic precipitator. The air cleaner is designed to remove

airborne particulates, including dust, dirt, smoke, pollen, virus,

spores, bacteria and mold, from indoor air. Air movement through

the unit is provided by the heating, air conditioning or ventilating

system blower. As dirty air enters the air cleaner, the air passes

through a metal mesh prefilter. The prefilter prevents lint, pet hair

and other large particulates from entering the air cleaner. It is

important that these filters be in place to prevent excessive dirt

loading of the air cleaner collector cells. These filters extend the

time between maintenance of the air cleaner collector cells. This

allows the ionizing --collector cells to provide clean air for a longer

period between washings. The prefiltered air then passes through a

two--stage Electronic Air Cleaner. In the first stage, all airborne

particulate, even submicron size, are electronically charged

(positive) as they pass through the ionizer. The ionizer field is set

up by a corona discharge emanating from the fine, tightly strung

wires suspended between two adjacent flat plates. In the second

stage, the charged particulate passes through an intense electrical

field established between alternately charged and grounded parallel

collector plates. Here, the positively charged particulate is attracted

to the negatively ground plates and removed from the air stream.

provided at the rear of the tray allowing the option to permanently wire the unit directly to a furnace control. AirFlow Sensor (AFS) this cooling down effect allows the electronic AFS to understand that the furnace blower is moving air and the Electronic Air Cleaner must turn on to provide air cleaning. This part controls the operation of the unit by sensing the movement of air within the duct. This helps to reduce power usage.

If an atomizing humidifier must be mounted upstream of this air cleaner: 1. Mount it as far upstream as possible (recommended 6’/2m minimum). 2. Install a standard disposable furnace filter between the humidifier and the air cleaner to trap water droplets and hard water salts. 3. Clean the air cleaner more frequently to prevent a hard water salt buildup. ! WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Ionizing--Collecting Cell Secondary Circuit The cell is electrically energized through a contact terminal located at the top center of the cell. The ionizing wires and alternating collector plates are electrically charged while the interleaving plates are grounded. If the space between the charged and grounded plates is bridged with conductive or semi--conductive material, a short circuit develops. The bridging or short may be caused by damaged plates, or foreign material lodged between/on the components.
