iWave-R Installation Manual

Nu-Calgon Instruction Bulletin 4-415
Installation Instructions
1. Disconnect air handler power before installing.
2. Mount the iWave-R after the particle filter and before
the indoor coil. This ensures pathogens (i.e., mold) and
odors are controlled throughout the entire depth of the
coil in addition to the breathing space.
3. The iWave-R is designed with universal mounting-
either attach with screws or affix to the system with
integral magnets. Mount near the fan inlet (shaft side)
on a metal surface in the air handler, internal wall duct
or external wall duct depending on what is best for
the installation. For external duct mount, a three inch
diameter hole will need to be cut/drilled out of the duct.
IMPORTANT: If mounting on the fan housing, ensure the
iWave-R is secured from fan vibration - use short length
self-tapping screws so as not to impair operation of fan.
CRITICAL: The iWave-R is designed for flush, external
duct mount installations as an optional install. Ensure in
all installations that other metal surfaces/wires are kept
a minimum of two inches away from the tip ends of the
high voltage emitters to prevent grounding, leading to
premature failure.

Mounting Options
Fan Inlet Mount
• Internal magnets holding unit to fan inlet (shaft side).
• Use self-tapping screws to secure device, especially for
high velocity applications or excessive vibration when
using magnets.
Inside Wall/Cabinet Mount
• Internal magnets holding unit to wall duct or air handler
metal panel.
External Duct Mount
• Cut/drill a 3 inch hole in duct to install and use two self-
tapping screws to hold unit to duct.
IMPORTANT!
Install in return air between air filter and cooling coil. For external duct
mount, make sure sheet metal sits against gasket surface; the high voltage
emitter ends (fiber brushes) must be 2 inches away from other metal and
other wiring to prevent grounding/premature failure.

across both brushes at the
same time, like a football
through a field goal post.
