iWave-R Installation Manual

Installation Instructions Continued
4. The iWave-R has universal voltage capability, connect 24VAC to 240VAC voltage input, whatever is most convenient for
quick installation. Although the device only pulls 10 watts, sometimes a dedicated 24VAC power supply may be necessary
depending on the current load on the transformer for other system accessories.
5. Unit may be powered 24/7 or may be interlocked with indoor fan – unit only purifies when air is flowing. If unit is wired
with the fan, the quickest air purification to address an air concern is to let the fan/iWave-R run continually for 72 hours.
Leaving the fan continually in the ‘on’ position will provide the best ongoing air purification in the house.
6. Wiring: The iWave-R has a patent-pending universal voltage 24VAC to 240VAC input capability. The black wire (marked
‘AC’ on label) is for 24VAC to 240VAC voltage input. The white wire (marked ‘N’ on the label) is the neutral leg for 24VAC or
120VAC; or the other hot leg for 208/240VAC. The green striped wire is ground, marked ‘G’ on the label. The brown wires
(marked ‘A’ on the label) are leads to a normally closed alarm contact – see step 7.
7. The iWave-R is equipped with an alarm contact option to provide a visual indicator outside of the air conditioning system
to let the homeowner know that it is in normal operation or if there is a fault. The alarm contact, a normally closed contact,
rated at 240 VAC/1A, will require a power source and visual indicator, such as a LED. In normal mode, the LED will stay
illuminated. If the device goes into default mode, the LED will not light. If a homeowner wants a remote indication of
iWave-R status, it is recommend that the 24VAC light (bought separately) be powered through the alarm contacts and
sent to a remote wall.
8. When powered up, a green LED on the iWave-R will illuminate; the ionizer is working and the stepper motor for the
cleaning feature is in the home position. If the light is not illuminated, check voltage to the iWave-R. If there is power, the
unit has a 240VAC/1A in-line fuse, check the fuse.
9. Self-Cleaning/Program Feature: The patent-pending iWave-R has a self-cleaning feature to ensure it is always operating
at peak performance over its design life. The functions for the button include:
a. While in normal operation mode, press the button once, the LED light will flash and the stepper motor starts an on-
demand cleaning cycle.
b. While in cleaning cycle (after step ‘a’ above), press the button and hold for 3 seconds, it goes into the mode of setting
the cleaning cycle intervals. The iWave-R is designed to be programmed for 1, 3, 5, or 10 day cleaning cycle intervals.
The iWave-R is factory preset for cleaning the emitters every third day; this is adequate for most applications
and will not need to be reprogrammed in the field.
While in the cleaning mode (with LED flashing and cleaning feature working):
a. Press the button and hold for 3 seconds, the LED will flash once every second and the motor works once every day.
b. Press the button twice (the first press hold for three seconds), the LED will flash twice every second and the motor
works once every 3 days. This is the factory preset program.
c. Press the button three times (the first press hold for three seconds), the LED will flash five times every second and the
motor works once every 5 days.
d. Press the button four times (the first press hold for three seconds), the LED will flash ten times every second and the
motor works once every 10 days.
The iWave-R remembers the programmed cleaning cycle days. After the power source is removed and applied again, the
iWave-R will automatically operate and go back to the previous days.
Note: The iWave-R is designed to be a long term IAQ investment, not requiring ongoing maintenance of replacing
expensive parts every year or two like other market approaches. The ion emitters (fiber brushes) used in the iWave-R are
designed to where they could easily be replaced after many years in service; in the unlikely event they ever needed to be
replaced. Replacement requires a Phillips screwdriver and a few minutes; contact Nu-Calgon for further questions.
