T-BAR INSTALLATION
Installation requires a 10 inch clearance be-
tweenpermanent ceiling and T-Bar ceiling.
CAUTION: Donot install unit ina T-Bar ceil
ing unlessunit canbe secured toa permanent
ceiling or ceiling joists as described.
1) Installer mustprovide the following
items for securingunit:
a) Four (4) 1/4-20X l"Eyebolts
b) Four (4) 1/4-20 Hex Nuts
c) Four (4)1/4 Flat Washers
d) Lengthrequired - 2/0 Chain
2) Open unit cover and remove cell dbsembly
(Itis necessary to remove thumb nutin
5) Remove a ceiling tile centrally loca-
ted in area tobe cleaned.
6) Secureeyebolts,hooksetc. to perma-
nent ceiling or ceiling joists.
7) Determine length of chainnecessary
to supportunit at maintainingangle
or slightly above level of T-Bar
frame.
CAUTION: Donot allow full weight of unit
to rest on T-Bar ceiling or frame.
8) Attach proper length of chain to ea
eyebolt in cabinet, raise unit and '-J
secure chain to mounting devices in
permanent ceiling or joists.

SYSTEM CHECKOUT
After assembly ingand installing the
unit, switch the control switch on.
1)The on/off light should nowbe
on. The light shows unit has
line voltage.
2) Open cell accessdoor. The on/
off light should go out. The
blower should also stop.
3) Unit is provided with three
speed blower switch. Set switch
to speed for desired air flow.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Periodically the dirt collected by
your unit must be removed. The
frequency of washing will depend on
the amount of dirt present intheair
in your application.
The washing frequency best suited for
your unit canbe determined by examin-
ing the collector cells attwo week
intervals. Asthe dirt begins to
collect, you willnotice a light film,
then a verydefinite build-up will be
evident ata later inspection. When
there isa noticeable amount of dirt,
collecting cell must be washed.
In most areas the collecting cell
should be washedabout every 12 weeks.

NOTE :
STEPS FOR WASHING
Dirt: build-up onthe ionizing-
collection cell should nothe
confused with dirtstains which
are normal, especially a yellow-
ish stain caused by. tobacco smoke,
and donot affect efficiency.

HUMMING NOISE
OZONE
The ionizing wireshave a tendency to
vibrate when charged. At timeswhen
atmospheric conditions are just right
c. O the humidity is exceptionally low,
the vibration is increased tothe point
where an audible hummaybe noted. It
usually occursmore inthe northern
sections ofthe countryduring the
wintermonths.Thiscondition canbe
aggravated ifthe ionizing-collecting
cell is verydirty. The condition is
self-correcting when the relative
humidity is increased orcanbe allevia
ted by washing the cell.
