OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
WIRING
All wiring must comply with applicable codes and
standards. See unit rating label for correct voltage and
amperage.
1. Two knockouts are provided, one on top and one on
the side of the unit adjacent to the wiring
compartment. For convenience, a wall switch may be
installed near the Air Cleaner, in series with the power
source, to turn the unit on and off.
2. Remove the cover of the wiring compartment to locate
the input leads and ground stud. The Air Cleaner
must be grounded for proper operation and safety.
3. Once the unit is mounted and wired, the cover can be
replaced on the hinges and the chain replaced on the
“S” hooks. Close the cover by sliding the levers
toward the center and pushing the cover up into
place. Release levers to lock the cover into place.
OPERATION CHECK
1. With the cover closed and locked in place, turn the
system switch on.
2. Adjust the fan speed with the slide switch. Insure the
unit functions on all speed settings.
3. The Performance Indicator Light should be lit, which
indicates the power board is functioning properly.
When the Air Cleaner is new, it may arc or periodically
make "snapping sounds.” A slight odor of ozone may be
noticeable. The arcing and odor are due to rough edges
and burrs on the cells. These symptoms will disappear
during the first few weeks of normal operation. The ozone
levels are well below government standards for indoor air
concentration.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The collecting cell and prefilter must be cleaned on a
regular basis for the unit to function at its peak efficiency.
The frequency of cleaning will vary from one environment
to another. The following is an average wash cycle:
Stores, Offices, Computer & Conference Rooms =
4
Weeks
Cafeterias, Restaurants, Lounges =
3-4 Weeks
Bars, Pubs, Bingo Halls =
1-3 Weeks
CLEANING AND SERVICE
1. Turn off the system switch and wait 15 seconds for
high voltage to dissipate.
2. Open the cover and cell access door and remove
collecting cell and prefilter.
Cell plates are sharp.
Handle with care.
3. Place cell in tub and spray completely with
DAX
Detergent
, allowing detergent to run down both sides
of plates and ionizing wires. Let sit for 5 minutes.
4. Rinse cell well with hot water (120ºF / 49ºC
maximum).
5. If dirt or nicotine remains on plates, let cell soak in
hot, soapy water for 30 minutes.
Never use any
instrument to clean the cell, as this may damage
the ionizing wires or misalign cell plates.
6. Spray prefilter with
DAX Detergent
and rinse well.
7. To dry cell, tilt on 45º angle against wall with arrow
pointing sideways. Allow to dry completely for at least
8 - 10 hours.
8. When the cell and prefilter are dry, place them back
into the unit. The arrow on the cell points up. The red
fibreboard on the cell should line up with the contacts
in the cabinet. Close door and cover. If the cell arcs
when the switch is turned on or if the performance
indicator light does not come on, then the cells are still
wet. Allow more time for drying.
The use of
DAX Detergent
(or non-chlorine, non-
corrosive, non-abrasive liquid detergent) is recommended
for cleaning as it is a heavy duty solution used expressly
for removal of accumulated pollutants on cell plates. If
used as directed,
DAX
will not harm aluminum or steel.
Any problem arising out of the use of another cleaning
agent will void the warranty.
DAX Detergent
is available in 1 gallon (4.54 L) and 4.8
gallons (22 L) containers as well as 45 gallon drums (204
L).
SERVICE MAINTENANCE
1. Determine if the Air Cleaner is performing properly by
seeing that:
System Switch is
ON
.
Performance Indicator Light is
ON
.
2. A simple test to check hi-voltage would be to blow
dust or cigarette ash into the intake grill. An audible
arc or snapping sound should be heard, ensuring
good hi-voltage.
3.
If in doubt, and if the cell is not collecting any carbon
or nicotine tars, then see “Troubleshooting Guide” or
consult your installation dealer.
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause injury or death. Be certain
main line disconnect switch is off before wiring.
CAUTION
Make sure Air Cleaner switch is
OFF
before performing
any maintenance or removing any components.
CAUTION
Damage to Cells may occur if improperly handled or
washed. Do not wash Cells in a dishwasher. Never use
any object to clean between the cell plates, as this may
cause damage to plates or ionizing wires. Never place
cell in oven to dry. The edges of the cell may be sharp -
handle with care.
WARNING
Electronic Air Cleaners use high voltage (low
amperage). Only trained personnel should perform
service. Use caution. Electric shock can cause injury or
death.
