1.4 Warranty
The seller warrants the equipment against defective workmanship and material for fifteen (15) months from date of factory
shipment or one (1) year from commissioning, whichever occurs first. In the fulfillment of its warranty, the sole obligation of seller
shall be to repair or replace, at its option, F.O.B. its factory, any part or parts which are returned F.O.B. its factory, shipping charges
prepaid, and which after inspection by seller are found to be defective. Buyer shall notify seller of defect in writing, promptly upon
discovery and within the warranty period. This warranty does not cover defects caused by corrosion or normal deterioration; it
does not extend to consequential damage, loss or delay associated with a warranty defect; and it does not cover any cost of labor,
travel, or other expense associated with the repair or replacement of defective parts. Seller assumes no liability for product loss
or other claims whatsoever arising out of the use or application of the equipment in any operations, whether the machine is used
alone or in conjoint use with other equipment or processes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, seller’s warranty obligations with
respect to any items not manufactured by seller shall not exceed the obligations undertaken by the manufacturer thereof under
express warranty to the seller. This express warranty is in lieu of all other warranties of fitness of the machine for any particular
purpose.
There are no other representations, warranty of condition in any respects either expressed or implied, statutory, or otherwise in
contract or tort, other than what is stated above.
The seller shall not be held liable in any way for consequential damages, however caused.
This warranty will not apply if the seller’s equipment has been damaged due to improper installation, alteration, abuse or misuse,
accident, fire, flood, or unavoidable circumstance. Further, this warranty will not apply if repairs, replacements, or alterations are
made by others without the seller’s prior written authorization.
In the event the state in which the equipment is installed does not permit the limitation or exclusion of implied warranties or
conditions under given circumstances, the provisions of this written warranty are in addition to and not a modification of the
statutory warranties and other rights and remedies provided by such laws.
Any modification to original equipment by any company or person other than the manufacturer will serve to cancel and void all of
the seller’s liability under the manufacturer’s warranty. Enclosures containing electronic components are normally sealed by the
manufacturer to prevent unauthorized tampering or adjustments. Only authorized service provides may break seals to complete
calibration or to trouble shoot the unit. Unauthorized tampering or breaking seals will release the seller from any future liability
under the warranty.

02 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION & THEORY OF OPERATION
2.1 Principle of Operation
The ActiveOx Series ionization generator rail is designed specifically for plenum mounting. Generator rails are normally installed in
the supply air side of an air handling unit following the final filter. Alternatively, they can be installed in the return plenum.
2.1.1 ActiveOx Generator Series Bi-Polar Ionization Unit
The ActiveOx Series generator rail is a needlepoint Bi-Polar ionization device. The generator produces synchronized
bipolar ionization of an air stream whose flow is perpendicular to the axis of the needle pair. Depending upon
the volume of air, its velocity, chemical and biological content, ionization is factory pre-set to CFM airflow rating by
means of local control to affect density sufficient to produce the desired volumetric air purification. Externally, the
generator rail includes ionization modules, indicator light fuse, toggle switch, junction box power umbilical, wiring,
and mounting chassis.
2.1.2 System Regulation
Power input to ionization generators is not adjustable.
2.1.3 Building Management System Control (BMSC)
The ActiveOx Series generator rail has the option for a control box for building management system (BMS) or
building automation system (BAS) interface.
The BMS (BAS) dry contact may be wired in series with control boxes.

03 INSTALL ATION
3.1 Initial Setup
Generator rails are normally installed in the supply
air side of an air handling unit following an air filter.
Alternatively, they can be installed in the return
plenum. A minimum MERV 8 rated prefilter is
required. Higher efficiency is a plus.
Minimum clearances between filter and generator
rails and heating or cooling surfaces shall be four
inches (101 mm). Where space permits, increase
clearances on the downstream side of the
generators to 12 inches (305 mm).
Rail assemblies require a minimum of three inches in the direction of airflow (See Appendices for drawing).
Alternatively, generator rails may be installed in the air handling unit supply plenum subject to ambient temperature limitations.
The maximum ambient temperature for the generators is 130º F (54º C).
Follow local and national electric codes.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to connect the generator ActiveOx unit(s) across multi-phase 3 or 4
wire circuits or across any electrical service in which pole to pole voltage exceeds 240 Volts. RMS.
3.2 Installation
Install the rail assembly in accordance with the following guidelines.
3.2.1 See Appendices for a typical installation.
3.2.2 Ionizers must be accessible for future service.
3.2.3 The rail must be installed such that the air blows
across the face of the ionizer modules perpendicular
to the needle electrodes and to an imaginary line that
bisects both needles as indicated by the arrows below.
3.3 Wiring
Connect wiring to the ActiveOx generator rail(s) following the specific wiring diagram for the application.
See Appendices for typical diagram.

04 OPERATION
To start the generator rail(s), it is necessary to provide the appropriate supply voltage. The blue LEDs on the individual ActiveOx
generator modules will illuminate when energized. The BMS (BAS) DB-9 connector use is optional. To turn off the system – turn
the power switch to the “Off” position.
05 MAINTENANCE
Frequent and extensive maintenance is typically not required. However, for best performance B.A.S. recommends semi-annual
inspections to be sure the modules are free of debris. As a best practice, the modules can be cleaned using a compressed gas
duster (as used to clean electronic equipment) or a cotton swab or small stiff brush (similar to an artist brush). Units must be de-
energized for cleaning and maintenance. Caution should be taken not to damage or bend the needles.
Possible Cause: Possible Solution:
Facility circuit breaker is tripped or turned off. Check the circuit breaker and reset it if necessary.
There is a faulty wiring connection between the circuit
breaker and the ActiveOx generator.
Ensure all wiring connections between the circuit breaker
and ActiveOx generator are secure and correct. See
Appendices for custom wiring diagram.
Check the fuse. Replace with an identical T 630mA Glass 5mm x 20mm
(FST) fuse.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE ANYTHING WHILE POWER TO THE SYSTEM IS ON.
DISCONNECT ALL POWER BEFORE SERVICING ANY UNIT.
06 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Always refer to the custom wiring diagram for the specific job being serviced.
