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:
