GPS-FC24-AC

GlobalPlasmaSolutions.com
Thank you for purchasing a GPS-FC24-AC from Global Plasma Solutions. The GPS-FC24-AC is an au-
tocleaning air purifier that can be mounted in mini split ceiling cassettes, wall mounted ducted air
handlers, and other HVAC equipment that requires a compact design. The included magnets allow
for installation without cutting or drilling. The GPS-FC24-AC requires no maintenance or periodic
replacement parts.
HARDWARE PROVIDED BY GPS
Before you start, confirm the contents of your shipment. Each GPS-FC24-AC will consist of the
following
1.GPS-FC24-AC with in line power switch.
2. Rare earth magnets (2).
3. Machine screws and nuts (2 each) for mounting magnets.
HARDWARE BY OTHERS
1. Electrical wiring, junction box, or receptacle to provide power to the GPS-FC24-AC.
2. Self-tapping screws (optional) if not using magnet mount.
3. Zip ties.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
GPS recommends mounting the GPS-FC24-AC after the prefilter and before the cooling coil, on
the blower housing on the side opposite the motor. In ductless mini-split ceiling cassette
applications, it is suggested to mount the unit to the fan inlet. The emitter brushes should be
no closer than two inches from any wiring or metal objects.
CAUTION:
• This product shall not be installed behind a suspended floor or ceiling nor in a structural wall,
ceiling or floor.
• This unit is designed for mounting to duct of metallic construction only. Installation must be
such that the structural integrity of the ducting is not compromised.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1. Ensure power to the HVAC equipment and the circuit the GPS-FC24-AC will be connected to
has been turned off.
2. Find an appropriate location. Verify the carbon fiber emitters have a 2” clearance from
wires or other metal objects.
3. Mount the magnets to the GPS-FC24-AC using included hardware. See FIGURE 1.
4. When mounting in a ceiling cassette use zip ties to secure GPS-FC24-AC to fan inlet screen
or grid. NOTE: if mounting in a ceiling cassette that has a self cleaning filter, the unit must
be mounted behind the screen and self cleaning system, but before the fan inlet.
5. Install the GPS-FC24-AC so that airflow is passing by both emitters at the same time (like a
football through goalposts). Make sure the unit is positioned so it obstructs as little airflow
as possible.

WIRING
1.Confirm the power is off prior to wiring. Follow all local and national electrical and building
codes.
2.The GPS-FC24-AC will self-adjust to voltages from 24VAC to 240VAC. Connect the power-
wires as follows:
Black 24 - 240VAC
White Neutral or L2
Green Ground
Browns Dry Contacts/BAS Alarm
3.Wire in BAS terminals (optional) The GPS-FC24-AC is equipped with a set of dry contacts that
are normally open and close when the GPS-FC24-AC is on and has no faults. The contacts are
rated up to 250VAC and 1A.
OPERATION
CAUTION! NEVER TOUCH BRUSHES WHILE OPERATING, SHOCK MAY OCCUR
Once powered and the inline switch is in the on position, the unit initiates an internal check of
all systems. If the auto cleaning wiper blade is not in the “home” position, it will move to the
home position in series with the airflow.
CLEANING CYCLE
The GPS-FC24-AC comes with a preset cleaning cycle designed to clean the brushes every three
days. The cleaning process may be activated by pushing the clean button located on the side of
the unit. To change the cycle frequency, press the cleaning cycle button once. While cleaning is
in progress press and hold the cleaning cycle button for 5 seconds. The LED will start flashing.
Pressing the cleaning cycle button again will change the days between cleaning. The number
of flashes indicates the cleaning interval in days (3 flashes=3 days, 5 flashes=5 days).
TROUBLESHOOTING
1.Unit will not power up, LED not illuminated:
a.Confirm proper voltage is applied to the correct terminal(s).
a.Try an alternate power source. If using 24v try using 120v or vice versa.
2. Wiper sticks or stops on emitters:
a.Adjust height of emitters: loosen screw at base of emitter gently push or pull emitter to
a height where wiper just contacts emitter. Hold the emitter in place and tighten screw.
Verify correct height after tightening screw.
3.Wiper does not clean/ contact emitters:
a.Adjust height of emitters: loosen screw at base of emitter gently push or pull emitter to
a height where wiper just contacts emitter. Hold the emitter in place and tighten screw.
Verify correct height after tightening screw.
b.If the emitter is worn to the point where there is no adjustment, replacement emitters can
be ordered from GPS. Remove the screw and the emitter base, unplug the emitter from
the connector. Plug the new emitter in, reinstall base, adjust emitter height and tighten
screw.
4.If unit does not operate properly after verifying the above instructions please contact GPS
for additional assistance.
