PLANNING THE
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Explosion Hazard Possible
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Do not install or use the F57 where there is any
danger of gas, vapor, or dust explosion.
Do not install when explosion-proof electrical
fixtures are specified.
Do not install on the floor or directly to the ground.
Application and Operation
The F57 Flush-Mount Electronic Air Cleaner is designed
for use in restaurants, conference rooms, lounges, and
offices where overhead air cleaning is required.
Because the F57 provides its own air circulation, it can be
used in any situation that requires the removal of
contamination from an enclosed area.
Because it is not explosion-proof, the F57 must not be used
if there are dangerous levels of potentially explosive
vapors, gases, or dusts present in the cleaning area.
When the electronic air cleaner is powered, the fan draws
the contaminated air into the electronic air cleaner.
Particles that are too small to be caught in the prefilter are
given an intense electrical charge in the ionizer section of
the electronic cell. As the air passes through the collecting
section of the cell, the charged particles adhere to the
collector plates, which have a strong opposite charge. The
cleaned air passes through the fan component and re-
enters the building space.
Two light-emitting diodes LED(s), ON and CHECK, are
included with the F57. The ON LED lights when the
solidstate power supply is powered and operating normally.
The CHECK LED lights if the F57 requires service attention
or if the test button is pressed. A WASH LED is also
supplied with the F57 but it is not factory installed. It can
be field installed using 4074 EMH Bag Assembly which is
supplied with the F57. See Fig. 4. The WASH LED lights to
indicate cell washing is overdue.
Determine Number of F57s Needed
The sizing procedure determines the number of F57As or
Bs needed. The correct number required for a particular
application depends on:
— type of contamination,
— number of occupants,
— volume of the room,
— use of the room,
— outdoor air quality.
This sizing information (Fig. 3) was generated using the
ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, 1985; the ASHRAE
Standard 62-1989, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air
Quality. It simplifies the sizing procedure for most
applications. Use this information as a guide; however,
remember that the F57 has different capacities for each
fan speed; see “Specifications” on page 2.
The number of air changes per hour determines the
amount of air cleaning obtained. More air changes per
hour than recommended in the graph above are
unnecessary because the ASHRAE data used in the
calculation is conservative. Fewer air changes per hour
than recommended in the graph can be compensated for
by bringing in more outdoor air to maintain low
contaminant levels, or tolerating a partially cleaned
atmosphere, which may be acceptable to some users.
F57A,B FLUSH-MOUNT COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
568-0083—07
Fig. 3. F57 sizing by air changes per hour and room area. In most cases, one F57B is equivalent to half an F57A because
the F57B airflow, although less than 50 percent of F57A airflow, is more effectively applied via several locations.
EXAMPLE 1:
Sizing by air changes per hour and room area (using the
graph in Fig. 3).
An office measures 40 x 45 ft (12 x 14m). How
many F57 air cleaners should be installed?
SOLUTION:
1. Find the floor area.
40 ft x 45 ft = 1800 ft2(12m x 14m = 168m2).
2. Assuming ten air changes per hour, with an 1800 ft2
(168m2) area, the graph (Fig. 3) indicates a require-
ment for two F57A units, or four F57B units.
EXAMPLE 2:
Sizing by occupant load.
A cocktail lounge averages 75 occupants. How
many F57 air cleaners should be installed?
SOLUTION:
Number of F57s required =
ASHRAE Recommended Air Circulation/Min
F57 Capacity
1. ASHRAE recommended minimum air circulation is
35 cfm (1m3/min) per person. For 75 people, the rec-
ommended air circulation would be:
75 people x 35 cfm (1m3/min) per person = 2625 cfm
(75m3/min).
2. F57A capacity (HI setting) is 1030 ft3/min
(29m3/min).
Number of F57As required =
2625 ft3/min/1030 ft3/min = 2.5 or 3 units.
or
F57B capacity (HI setting) is 485 cfm (14m3/min).
Number of F57Bs required =
2625 ft3/min/485 ft3/min = 5 units.
EXAMPLE 3:
Sizing by air changes per hour and room volume.
A shop proprietor wants to use electronic air clean-
ing to remove high levels of smoke from the air. The
shop is 25 x 40 ft (8 x 12m) with a 15 ft (4.5m) ceil-
ing. How many F57 air cleaners will be required?
GUIDELINE: In the absence of other information, select the
correct number of F57 units to provide between 10 or 20
air changes per hour, depending on contaminant level. The
air cleaner should be located directly above or as close as
possible to the source of contamination.
SOLUTION:
Number of F57s required =
Desired Air Circulation/Min
F57 Capacity
1. Calculate the volume of the room.
25 ft x 40 ft x 15 ft = 15,000 ft3
(8m x 12m x 4.5m = 432m3).
2. Determine the volume of air to be circulated each
hour. Ten air changes per hour are used here on the
assumption that the intent is to reduce, but not com-
pletely eliminate, smoke.
15,000 ft3x 10 air changes per hour = 150,000 ft3/hr
(432m3x 10 air changes per hour = 4320m3/hr).
Then determine the volume of air to be circulated
each minute.
150,000 ft3/hr
60 min/hr = 2500 ft3/min
4320 m3/hr
60 min/hr = 72m3/min

Regardless of the method used for calculation, the physical
limitations of the space to be cleaned can influence the
number of electronic air cleaners required. For ambient air
cleaning, it is essential to establish a uniform airflow
pattern throughout the entire space. Fewer electronic air
cleaners can be installed because of a lack of mounting
space. More units may be required due to an oddly-shaped
room that does not lend itself to an even airflow.
If any questions should arise concerning size, consult your
distributor or local Honeywell Home and Building Control
Sales Representative.
Choose Location
The F57 is mounted horizontally, and can be used in
almost any air cleaning application that has a suspended
ceiling. For the most efficient operation, place the F57 as
close as possible to the contaminant source.
When placing the F57, be sure that the clean air discharge
enhances the airflow patterns of the area to be cleaned. For
example, do not place the air cleaner so its discharge
disrupts the flow from the central air handling system
supply registers.
The shape of the room, location of central air conditioning
diffusers and returns, architectural features, and ceiling
obstruction will affect optimum F57 location in the ceiling.
For partial dilution of odor and gaseous contaminant,
some F57 discharge air can be bled off into the area above
the suspended ceiling, or a run of 12 ft (3.7m) or less of 5
in. (127 mm) round duct can be vented outdoors or to an
exhaust duct that is always at negative pressure.
Determine if the air vent of the unit must be ducted to the
return air plenum (as some local building codes require).
For duct connection, make sure the access panel to the
vent is removed so a 5 in. (127 mm) diameter duct can be
connected to the collar (collar is field supplied).

Air Vent
The air vent helps to control gaseous contaminants such
as by-products of cigarette smoking by allowing some of
the air circulated through the F57 to be discharged into the
return plenum.
To use the air vent, remove the five inch knockout in the
side of the F57 cabinet. See Fig. 7. When venting into the
false ceiling cavity, leave the vent fully open. When ducting
into the return plenum, install damper and position it to
reduce the opening by 50 percent.

Wiring
IMPORTANT
Before wiring the F57, remove the power supply
cover. After completing the wiring procedures, reat-
tach the power supply cover.
All wiring must comply with applicable codes and
ordinances.
Power supply wiring system shall provide disconnect
switch for all poles.
The power source to the F57A,B must agree with the model
type, either 120 Va.c., 60 Hz or 220.240 Va.c., 50 Hz.
To wire 120 Va.c., 60 Hz model:
Run three No. 14 color-coded wires through the conduit
to the wiring compartment of the F57. Attach the green
wire to the external ground. The black and white wires
are the power carriers.
Attach the conduit to the knockout desired (either the
large or small knockout).
Attach the green ground wire to the ground screw.
Ground the F57 for proper operation and safety.
Attach the black and white wires to the black and white
wires from the F57 using the wire nuts. See Fig. 8.
To wire 220.240 Va.c., 50 Hz model, see Fig. 8.
IMPORTANT
Earth (ground) the F57 for proper operation and
safety.
This appliance incorporates an earth connection for
functional purposes only.
Fig. 8. Typical F57 wiring hookups.
Reassemble the F57
Reinstall the electronic cells, prefilter, charcoal filter (if
used) and grille assembly. For proper installation of the
cells, see “Service” on page 11.
CHECKOUT
Inspect the Installation
Refer to Fig. 9 and 10 for location of components.
Be sure that the screws on the back of the F57 are
removed to allow for the motor floating suspension.
Observe that the F57 is oriented for good air circulation.
Check that the F57 is correctly and securely attached.
Be sure that the F57 weight does not overstress the
suspended ceiling.
Make sure that the access door is easily opened, and
that the prefilter, cells, and activated carbon filters (if
used) are secure within the unit.
Check leveling of the F57. If necessary, further reinforce
and relevel suspended ceiling T-bar grid and adjust the
hanging wires. If unit is not level, motor can be noisy or
can eventually malfunction.
Check that the electronic cells are correctly oriented for
correct airflow. The cells are correctly oriented when the
contact board of the cell is properly seated. The ionizer
section faces the access door and the collector section
faces the fan.
Be sure the prefilter is correctly placed. The airflow
arrow on the prefilter should be pointing toward the
cells.
Check that the wiring compartment cover is correctly
reinstalled and the grille assembly is latched closed.
Clean the inside and outside of the F57.
