RULES FOR SAFE INST ALLA TION AND OPERA TION INSTALLA ALLATION OPERATION If this unit has an electrical cord, the cord has a grounding type plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounding type power outlet. If the proper type of outlet is not available, contact qualified personnel to install a proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Please read instructions before installing and using the Electronic Air Cleaner.
A B C HO W THE AIR CLEANER WORKS HOW Dirty Air In Dirt particles flowing through the ducts (Figure 1) first enters the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint, etc.) are trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, etc.) pass through these pre-filters and enter the ionizing section (B). Here each tiny particle receives a positive electrical charge. These charged particles then enter the collecting section (C).

WIRING INSTR UCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS 7. With the cabinet installed, the air cleaner can now be wired to electrical input source. ! 10. If this unit has an electrical cord, the cord has a grounding type plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounding type power outlet. If the proper type of outlet is not available, contact qualified personnel to install a proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
OPERA TION OPERATION 1. With the 120 VAC power turned on at the circuit breaker for the furnace, push the air cleaner ON-OFF switch to the “ON” position (Figure 20). 2. With the furnace blower running, the air cleaner will be operating. An arcing or “snapping” sound may be heard. This will occur occasionally, however the unit is operating properly. 3. With the furnace blower running, the Operating Light should be ON.
REPLACING AN IONIZING WIRE If an ionizing wire should break, it can be replaced as follows: 1. Remove all pieces of broken wire. Make sure supports at each end are in good condition and not bent out of shape. 2. Hook the new wire onto the support at one end. 3. Hold your finger against the support at the other end (Figure 21) and hold the ionizing wire between thumb and forefinger as shown or use needle nose pliers. Press inward on spring support.

TECHNICAL REP AIR GUIDE REPAIR ! All voltage measurements indicated can be made with a high voltage D.C. probe and a general purpose volt ohm meter. For example: Simpson 260 or equivalent. WARNING Do not attempt repair of this unit unless you are familiar with the necessary tools, equipment, utility connections and potential hazards. For test purposes, the air flow switch may be “wired out” of the system.
POWER SUPPLY CHECKOUT PROCEDURE 4. Using a standard extension cord, apply 120 VAC to power pack. Turn power switch to “ON” position. 5. Connect meter negative (-) lead to metal frame of collecting cell. Use high voltage probe to measure voltage at collecting cell ionizer or cell plates. Voltage should be 6100 to 6800 VDC. NOTE: A new “out-of-box” cell may cause the voltage to be lower than normal for a short period of time.
OZONE REDUCTION All electronic air cleaners typically produce a small amount of ozone that is within established limits. Some customers may notice an odor especially at high altitudes or low air flow rates. W1 This power supply has a “hairpin” shaped jumper wire labeled W1 (see Fig 24) that can be cut and separated in case of such complaints. This will cause the power supply to limit the maximum operating power to a lower level.
