Power Connection Requirements:
This device is designed to operate using a 24 VAC, 40Va transformer. Transformers supplied with a straight cooling or HVAC
system may be used to power the device but must be verified it’s capable of handling the additional device load prior to
installation. If the system transformer is not capable of handing the extra load, a separate 24 VAC, 40Va transformer MUST
be used. Do not connect the device to any power source with a voltage less than 22 VAC and a maximum of 32 VAC. Doing
so will cause damage to the device.
NOTE: Unit requires continuous power. Do not install where power to the unit will be cycled on and off.
1. Unit should be installed after the air handler in the HVAC system.
2. The ductwork around the installation area should be clean and dry to
ensure proper adhesion of the gasket materials and any tape used.
3. When installing near a furnace or heating coils, run the heating system
through five (5) full heating cycles to ensure the temperature of the
Air Scrubber Advanced by Aerus unit does not exceed 200˚F.
4. An approximate 3.5” (8.89 cm) opening will need to be cut into the
existing ductwork to install the unit properly.
