Smog-Hog

PCN Series Models

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 

The Smog-Hog PCN is a portable electronic air cleaner 

designed to eliminate particulate as it is generated.  
Contaminant is captured at its source by a unit-mounted 

hood, then conveyed through a duct network to the 

precipitator where it is collected. Clean air is then re-

circulated back to the work area. 
As air approaches the precipitator, it passes though a 

reusable, aluminum mesh mechanical pre-filter which 

aids air distribution and removes large particles. 
Pre-filtered air then passes through an ionizer where 

particles are charged by corona discharge from a series 

of small diameter charged tungsten wires centered 

between grounded plates. Particles then pass through 

a collection cell, consisting of alternately charged and 

grounded parallel aluminum plates. Charged plates 

at the same polarity as the charged particles repel 

the particles toward the grounded plates which, in 

turn, attract the particles. Air next passes through 

a centrifugal blower where it is exhausted vertically 

through a centrifugal blower where it is exhausted 

vertically through an adjustable outlet grille, back to the 

work space. 
An integrally mounted power pack converts 115 volt, 

single-phase AC power to the high voltage DC required 

for ionizer and collection cell operation. 

1.2 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS 

The unit is rated for 115 VAC (volts alternating current), 

single phase, 60 Hz operation. It has a 10´ power cord 

with grounded plug and internal high voltage wiring.

2. INSTALLATION 

2.1 PACKAGING 

The Smog-Hog PCN is shipped in three containers. 

One consists of the main cabinet and operating 

components. The second is the factory-assembled 

extraction arm with duct in place. The third is the hood. 

2.2 INSPECTION NOTE 

Upon receipt of your unit, check for any shipping 

damage. A damaged carton indicates that the 

equipment may have received rough handling during 

shipping that may have caused possible internal 

damage. Notify your delivery carrier and enter a claim if 

any damage is found. 

2.3  INSTALLING THE EXTRACTION ARM 

ASSEMBLY 

The top of the PCN cabinet has eight 5/16-18 threaded 

studs protruding upward from the cabinet, and equally 

spaced around the air entry opening. The mating 

extraction arm mounting flange is ready for installation, 

and the mounting hardware (nuts and split ring lock 

washers) is in a plastic bag inside the main cabinet.  

The extraction arm assembly is approximately 50 lbs, 

but because of its size, may be best positioned by two 

people. 
The extraction arm support spring is in place on the 

assembly, with a protective shipping retainer box 

strapped in place (these must be removed before 

operating the unit). All pivot points are tightened 

slightly to keep arms from moving during handling. 

This assembly is shipped for installation so that the 

arm nearest the cabinet is in the vertical position when 

the bearing flange is being bolted down. With this arm 

extending up from the top of the cabinet, a ceiling 

height of about 10´ is required for adequate clearance. 

Refer to the SA Installation and Owner’s Manual for 

instructions on assembling the extraction arm or making 

field adjustments. 

Sharp pulls on the arm or hood should be avoided 

since damage to the arm components could result.  

3. OPERATION 

 

Do not use the PCN where high concentrations of 

flammable materials may be present. If in doubt, 

consult UAS. 

3.1 TURNING THE UNIT ON 

The PCN is provided with 10´ of pre-wired type 3-SJ 

electrical cord with a three-prong male plug. To operate 

the unit:
