F300E Series Install Instructions

OPERATION AND
SERVICE
1. Hook the eyelet on one end of the wire over the spring
connector on one end of the cell. Be careful to avoid
damaging spring connectors or other parts of the cells.
2. Hold the opposite eyelet with a needle nose pliers and
stretch the wire the length of the cell. Depress the opposite
spring connector and hook the eyelet over it.
3. Check the cell for short circuits using an ohmmeter; see the
gure to the right. Check the resistance between the frame
of the cell and both the ionizer and the collector contacts. In
each case, the resistance should be innite.
Modication to Reduce Ozone Odor
CAUTION
Electric Shock Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Always disconnect power and open access door before
opening power supply cover.
The electronic air cleaner generates a small amount of
ozone in normal operation. During the rst week or two of
operation, the amount may be higher because of sharp
edges on some of the new high voltage metal parts.
Normal use quickly dulls these edges.
If desired, the ozone generated by the air cleaner can be
reduced in one of two ways:
1. Install an activated carbon lter downstream from
the air cleaner. Make sure particles from the air lter
cannot fall into the air cleaner.
2. Move J8 shorting bar. This will reduce ozone
production about 20 to 25 percent and reduce
efciency about seven to ten percent, depending on
actual airow delivered by the furnace blower.
a. Unplug or disconnect power supply to the air
cleaner.
b. Open the access door. See procedure and
gure on page 13.
c. Remove the power box cover. See procedure
and gure on page 13.
d. Move J8 shorting bar. See gure to right.
