WARNING:
The installation of the CleanZone
air cleaning system needs to be
performed by a qualified HVAC
contractor.
WARNING:
This installation guide is designed
to assist in the installation. Since

• TO REDUCE THE RISK O IRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSON(S) OBSERVE
THE OLLOWING:
• This manual covers use in residential installations only. Contact IQAir for informa-
tion on commercial and other uses.
• Installations must be done in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
• The unit is not designed to provide combustion and/or dilution air for fuel-burning
appliances.
• Do not install in a cooking area or connect directly to an appliance.
• Always disconnect the power cord from electrical outlet before replacing filters,
adding or removing parts and before cleaning.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring or
other hidden utilities.
• This unit must be grounded. The power supply cord has a 3-prong grounding plug
for your personal safety. It must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding
receptacle,grounded in accordance with the national electrical code and local codes
and ordinances. Do not remove the ground prong. Do not use an extension cord.
• This unit must be installed in a weatherized location out of direct sunlight and
protected by the elements.
• When the ambient temperature for the unit location is below freezing
(32° – 0°C), the unit must run continuously to prevent condensation.
• Do not attempt to recover in any way the exhaust air from a dryer or a range hood.
This would cause clogging of the filters and constitute a fire hazard. This will also
void the warranty.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if the motor fan fails
to rotate, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged. Contact
IQAir for repair or replacement part service.
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have
questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in
this document.
• Do not use this appliance in areas with very high concentrations of dusts or
powder to prevent the danger of dust explosions.
• Do not use this appliance in explosive areas.
• Only use original IQAir® filters and accessories.
• Do not run any air ducts directly above or closer than 2 ft (0.6 m) to any furnace or
its supply plenum, boiler or other heat producing appliance.
• The ductwork must be be installed in compliance with all local and national codes
that are applicable.
• Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
• If the unit is used during construction or renovation, regularly check filters for
prematurely clogged filters.
• Save these instructions for future reference.

Modular Housing
Concept
Tool & Materials
Checklist
The IQAir CleanZone air cleaning system is based on a modular architecture that allows
for easy system customization and regular non-palletized shipment.
Each CleanZone system is made up of a motor module and at least one filter module.
Each of these modules is supplied in a separate transport box.

Installation Principle
Single speed 2-3 ton HVAC systems
The CleanZone system is designed to go inline to the residential HVAC return duct in
installations up to airflow rates of 1200 cfm. If the airflow is lower than 1000 cfm, the
CleanZone fan speed should be reduced also. The CleanZone is designed to replace all
existing furnace filters or similar.
Single speed 4-5 ton HVAC systems
In installations, with airflow rates of over 1200 cfm, a filtered bypass (additional Perfect 16)
needs to be installed to make up for the additional HVAC system airflow.The CleanZone is
designed to replace all existing furnace filters or similar.
Multiple speed 2-3 ton HVAC systems
In installations with 2-3 ton multiple speed air handling systems, the CleanZone is designed
to go inline to the residential HVAC return duct. Integration of a excess air bypass duct into
the duct design is necessary to allow excess air to be circulated back to the air cleaning
system on speed setting of less than 1000 cfm. If the maximum airflow of the HVAC
system is lower than 1000 cfm, the CleanZone fan speed should be reduced also.
Multiple speed 4-5 ton HVAC systems
In installations, with airflow rates of over 1200 cfm, a filtered bypass needs to be installed
to make up for the system airflow and the maximum of 1200 cfm supplied by the
CleanZone air cleaning system. This filtered bypass will also serve as a excess air bypass
duct, as it allows recirculation of excess air when HVAC airflow capacity is reduced to
less than 1000 cfm.
L CATI N
• The CleanZone should be located on the return side (upstream) of the air handling
system. Please note that locating the CleanZone on the supply side (down stream)
may cause the motor and/or electronics in the CleanZone to fail due to overheating
or condensation.
• or best performance, the CleanZone should be connected as close to the air
handling system as possible. Duct runs to and from the CleanZone should be held
as short as possible.
• Choose a location that is readily accessible for checking and replacing the filter(s).Allow
at least 241⁄2in. (622 mm) clearance in front of the unit.
• Note that the micro-particle V-bank filters can only be replaced through the square
panels.The HyperHEPA filter can be replaced from all four sides of the unit.
M UNTING
• If positioned on the floor or a platform, anti-vibration pads (supplied with the unit)
should be used to reduce vibration.
• If the unit is suspended,screws must not penetrate through the cabinet.Make sure that
you have the proper equipment to keep the unit secure.
DUCTING
• Installed duct runs should be as straight as possible.
• If flex duct is used, the preferred duct diameter is 18”.
• or best indoor air quality, fiberglass ductboard or fiberglass lined ducts are not
recommended.
• To reduce the possibility of noise from the CleanZone system travelling down to the
return grille, a minimum return duct length of 6 feet is recommended.
ELECTRICITY
• The CleanZone requires a 120 Vac grounded electrical outlet.If an outlet is not available,
have a qualified electrician install one.

The CleanZone 3020 was designed to
allow more installation flexibility in
tight spaces. or the CleanZone 3020
to function properly it requires a
Perfect 16 filter for pre-filtration. The
Perfect 16 can be connected to the
CleanZone with as much as 20 feet of
duct distance between the two.
If flex duct is used, 18” diameter is
recommended.
ATTENTI N
ailure to use a Perfect 16 for pre-
filtration of a CleanZone 3020 will
cause the HyperHEPA filter to
become pre-maturely loaded and
can lead to a drastic reduction of
airflow.
