Introduction
Your RS4 Whole House IAQ System is a high efficiency air cleaning system designed to remove
all three types of airborne contaminants: particles, biologicals, and gas phase contaminants. The
large surface areas of the air cleaner and activated carbon help to reduce air velocity and static
pressure resistance for more effective filtration.
Section I. Cabinet Installation
1) Turn the thermostat fan switch to the “OFF” position.
2) Turn off power to the furnace/air handler.
3) Remove the existing filter from the furnace/air handler or return air grille.
4) Locate the RS4 cabinet on the return side of the ductwork, adjacent to and upstream of the
blower compartment. This placement will ensure that the furnace blower and cooling coil are
kept clean. Determine the mounting orientation in a location that is readily accessible for
service and maintenance, allowing a minimum of 27” in front of the slide-out access panel.
5) If the cabinet is installed on a flat surface, seat the cabinet on vibration pads (1/2” minimum) to
provide adequate clearance for the door operation.
6) When securing the RS4 cabinet into the HVAC system, do so with the cabinet door in place to
keep the cabinet plumb. This will ensure that the access door fits properly after installation.
7) The RS4 cabinet uses interchangeable block-off plates that can be positioned to allow airflow
through the cabinet at a right-angle or flow-through from side to side or top to bottom.
Mounting holes are provided in the air cleaner cabinet for #10 sheet metal screws or 1/8”
rivets. All system components allow for installation with airflow in any direction.
8) The RS4 cabinet includes one set of adjustable duct flanges that can adjusted to connect the
top/bottom 24”x8” duct opening to duct sizes of 24’x8”, 24”x9”, 24”x10”, 24”x11”, or 24”x12”.
The cabinet is shipped with top flanges in the 24”x10” center position. To adjust the flanges,
remove the flange screws, adjust the flanges to the desired duct size, and secure with screws.
Openings on the side of the cabinet measure 23.5” x 13.5”. Additional duct flange kits for side
connections (part no. RS4-FLANGEKIT) are available as an optional accessory.

9) Holes for wiring access are provided on both sides of the cabinet and a grommet is provided
for the wiring hole. Once the cabinet has been secured, seal all seams and holes with foil tape
or mastic so that the cabinet is air tight and UV light cannot escape.

Section II. Air Cleaner Installation
1) Wiring to an integrated furnace control (IFC) board or on-board transformer:
NOTE: ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD PERFORM ELECTRICAL WIRING.
If there is a terminal strip such as the one shown in figure 5, connect the black wire of the
power cord to the “Common” terminal (typically the "C" terminal) and the black wire with the
white stripe to the “Hot” 24vac terminal (typically the "R" terminal). Output from the 24vac
transformer may vary due to local line voltage fluctuations. Outputs up to 28vac are
acceptable.
Figure 5
If the terminals are unmarked, or to confirm the markings, use a voltmeter to find the Common
and “Hot” 24vac terminals:
a. Turn off the power to the furnace/air handler and the transformer.
b. With the voltmeter set to "Continuity", check for continuity between each terminal and the
metal frame of the furnace/air handler. Choose a spot on the furnace/air handler such as
a screw or unpainted edge, where a good electrical contact can be found.
c. If continuity is found between one of the terminals and the furnace/air handler, that
terminal will be the Common terminal.
d. With the power on to the transformer, use the voltmeter to locate the 24vac terminal.
If a Common or 24vac terminal cannot be located, it will be necessary to install a separate
transformer. If a hard-wired transformer is used, an isolated class II transformer is
recommended. The transformer must be installed according to local codes and ordinances.
2) Route the power cord to the air cleaner. The cord should be run so that it is not crimped or
abraded and should have enough slack to allow the air cleaner service drawer to be fully
extended for routine maintenance. Position the power cord slack to keep it away from the
furnace/air handler blower and other moving parts.
3) Plug the power cord into the air cleaner once it is securely in place (fig 6).
Figure 6
4) A plug-in transformer (part number A412402) is available as an optional accessory to plug
into any 110-Volt (AC) outlet to provide 24-Volt (AC) power to the unit. Do not substitute
other 110vac-24vac transformers. Damage could result to the air cleaner electronics and
void the air cleaner warranty.

Section III. Carbon Matrix Installation
1) Unlatch and open the empty carbon matrix tray adjacent to the polarized-media air cleaner.
2) Leaving the protective foam border in place, carefully place the carbon sections into the tray
as shown below. The carbon matrix should be positioned downstream of the polarized-media
air cleaner in order to extend the service life of the carbon.
3) Close and latch the carbon tray. Secure the latches with screws (provided) for extra security.
4) Close the cabinet access door and latch securely.
5) Turn on the power to the furnace/air handler and UV lamp. The thermostat fan switch should
be set to the “ON” position.
6) Affix the caution label and Replacement Record sticker in prominent locations to the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST AIR CLEANING EFFICIENCY AND OPTIMUM COMFORT, THE FURNACE/AIR
HANDLER FAN SHOULD BE RUN CONTINUOUSLY WITH THE FAN SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION
RATHER THAN THE “AUTO” POSITION.
Section IV. UV Lamp Installation
1) The model 407H-16 or the 407H-16-O3 Series2 Germicidal UV Lamp is standard on some
models or available separately.
2) Remove the cover from the unit by removing the top and bottom retaining screws using a
screwdriver.
3) Remove the knock-outs on the RS4 cabinet door for UV lamp and safety switch (fig 1).
4) Attach back of the UV unit to the cabinet door using the four ¼” 8-32 screws provided.
5) Attach ¾” 8-32 safety switch screw to cabinet frame (fig 8) to activate safety switch.
6) Remove germicidal lamp holder using a 11/32 size nut driver (fig 9).
7) Slide germicidal lamp into lamp opening and reinstall lamp holder.
8) Plug lamp into lamp connector.
9) Connect power in accordance with local wiring codes. The multivoltage ballast is self-adjusting
and operates with voltages from 120 - 240 VAC. Use the provided 120 VAC power cord. For
240 VAC, install 5 amp inline fuses and use the optional 240 VAC power cord, Part #PC-240.
IMPORTANT: WHEN USING THE 407H-16-O3 LAMP WITH ACTIVATED OXYGEN, POWER TO THE
LAMP MUST BE INTERLOCKED WITH THE FURNACE BLOWER.

10) For 407H-16-O3 ONLY – Plug the 120 VAC power cord into an outlet which is interlocked with
the furnace blower. If an EAC terminal is available, supply power to the outlet from the EAC
terminal. If there is no EAC terminal, interlock the UV unit with the furnace blower using an
appropriate alternate.
11) Verify voltage is operating between 120 - 240 VAC when the air handler is operating.
12) Replace and secure cover using the two retaining nuts. Affix caution labels if necessary.
