Read this entire manual before beginning installation. Contact the factory with any questions you may
have after you have read these instructions. See the contact information at the end of this manual.
This illustration shows the relationship between the two major modules of the EcoloAir system. The
Odor Reducing Module is standard combined with the Filter module. It may be ordered optionally as a
separate module or may be ordered without Odor Reduction. A charcoal filter module may replace the
Odor Reducing Module as an option. The modules may be installed together or separated by ductwork.
The connecting ductwork between modules, if used, must be 16 gauge liquid tight construction
conforming to the standards described in NFPA 96. The ductwork must be fastened to the modules
according to the instructions and methods described in that standard and in local codes. If modules are
installed connected directly together the mating flanges are pre-drilled through for machine screws (1/4”
x 20) and nuts. The gasket which must be placed on the mating flanges between modules is factory
pre-cut to length and is shipped inside the odor reducing module cabinet. If the unit does not have
an odor reducing module the gasket material is shipped inside the fan module. The gasket material is
self-adhesive, peel off the protective paper and place along the mating flanges. Be sure the fasteners
which hold the sections together will pass through the approximate centerline of the gasket. See
section below labeled “DUCT CONNECTIONS” for details about inlet and exhaust duct connections.
NOTE: When required, equipment shall be seismically restrained per SMACNA and Uniform Mechanical
Code. Fabricated support platforms for roof-mounted equipment shall be sized to accommodate the
equipment frame and engineered to support the unit’s weight indicated on submittal drawings and the
weight of associated components such as ductwork, per local and International Mechanical Code (IMC)
requirements. Support pads or curbs should be fabricated to fit actual equipment. Verify measurements
of equipment frames are accurate before construction of support pads or curbs. The foundation should
be flat and level from side to-side and front-to-back. Equipment may be anchored using provided
mounting tabs, or by other means which satisfies local and IMC codes. All support pad or curb
engineering, design and construction is the responsibility of purchaser, contractor or assigned second
party. Halton cannot provide engineering or design for equipment pads, curbs or supporting structures.
Note: 30” of clearance must be maintained on the access door side of each module to allow maintenance
access and service to filters, odor control solution, carbon filter and fan motor/blower components.
Please ensure there is adequate clearance in installation location.
Note: Fire suppression at inlet of filter section must be used based on local fire code requirements.
If fire suppression cabinets are factory installed on the unit 36” of clearance must be maintained on
the fire suppression cabinet side of the unit, which is usually on the side of the unit opposite the filter
access doors.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. The main power supply to the EcoloAir control panel connects to the line voltage terminal block in the
control panel; the wire size will be determined by the electrical rating on the panel rating plate and must
conform to national electrical standards.
The following electrical connections are to be made between the EcoloAir control panel and various
components. These connections are shown in detail on the wiring diagrams included in installers package.
Job specific voltages and options are detailed on these wiring diagrams and supersede the general
descriptions below.
2. An 8 wire shielded cable runs from the EcoloAir control cabinet to the exhaust fan VFD located at the fan
module. This signal determines the fan speed.
3. The Fan motor is isolated with a three pole disconnect switch, located in the VFD compartment. Incoming
power for the VFD is required to be connected to the L1, L2 and L3 terminals of the disconnect switch.
4. A 6 wire-24 volt DC cable is connected between the EcoloAir control panel and the filter pressure
transducers located in a cabinet on the filter module.
5. A 4 wire-24 volt cable is connected between the EcoloAir control panel and the Cooling Fan start/stop and
the firestat.
6. A 4 wire-24 volt DC cable is connected between the EcoloAir control panel and the odor control module.
(If applicable, the odor control module is optional.)
7. A 3 wire-120 volt/1/60 AC cable is required for the compressor located in the odor control module. (If
applicable, the odor control module is optional.
8. A 2 wire low voltage cable must be run from the EcoloAir control cabinet to the normally open (N.O.) dry
contacts in the fire suppression system cabinet.
A 3 wire low voltage cable is typically run from the N.O. and N.C. contacts of the CR43 relay switch in the
EcoloAir control panel in case of missing filter(s) in order to shut off the supply power and gas to kitchen
appliances. (Optional, this relay is required outside of the U.S.A. but is optional inside the U.S.A.)
9. 9. 2 - 4 low voltage wires are connected between the EcoloAir control panel and the BMS for make-up air
control (Start/Stop and/or 0-10 VDC speed signal).

DUCT CONNECTIONS
1. The exhaust duct connection at the inlet entrance to the EcoloAir system must be continuously welded
all around and liquid tight (See figure 2). Remove all filtration media from the filter module before welding.
Be sure all flammable materials are removed from area before welding on this unit. Take all reasonable
precautions while welding to prevent fire or injury.
2. The duct must be transitioned from its original size to match the full opening of the filter module inlet.
3. All fan outlet openings to which ducts are attached will be provided with a discharge collar (See figure 3).
4. Inlet and outlet openings of the EcoloAir unit are to be transitioned to the appropriate inlet and outlet duct
sizes.
5. Filter module connections to the fan module (See figure 1) must be made as per UL listed procedure. The
provided gasket material must be placed between the modules on the mating flanges. This material is
pre-cut to the correct lengths and is shipped inside the odor reducing module cabinet. If the unit does not
have an odor reducing module the gasket material is shipped inside the fan module. The gasket material
is self-adhesive. Peel off the protective paper and place along the mating flanges. Be sure the fasteners
which hold the sections together will pass through the approximate centerline of the gasket. When the
modules are connected together the mating flanges are pre-drilled through for machine screws (1/4” x 20)
and nuts.
