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.

1Polluted air enters through
the inlet panel.
2our filter panels are arranged
in double V shape to eliminate
over 95% of all pollution
particles 0.3 microns and
larger.The large surface area
of 170 square feet of micro-
particle filtration media
ensures a long filter life.
3An aluminum framed filter
element contains 200 square
feet of true HEPA media for
nano-particle filtration.This
filter stage eliminates over
99.97% of all pollution parti-
cles 0.3 microns and larger
and over 99.5% of all particles
down to 0.003 microns.
4The motor module provides
the airflow which is necessary
to overcome the resistance
of the micro-particle and the
HyperHEPA filter.The back-
ward curved radial design of
the fan allows for straight
through and right angle air
duct connection. The digital
motor which drives the fan
saves up to 35% energy.

nector designed to plug into a grounded
120 Vac electrical outlet. If an outlet is not
available, have a qualified electrician install
one. The maximum load of the CleanZone
is 3.8 A. The power cord supplies the
CleanZone with the necessary power for
the fan motor and electronics.When power
is connected,the POWER indicator light will

EAC Terminal Wire
The EAC signal wire is designed to connect
to the control board of the HVAC system
(air handler). It automatically turns the
CleanZone system fan on and off with the
HVAC system blower. When the EAC signal
wire is energized, the EAC IN indicator light
will light up.
Pull the two-wire cable, labeled “EAC In”
from the CleanZone connection console to
the air handler control board. Shorten as
necessary.
Attach two 1
⁄4-in female quick connect terminals for 16–14 wire to EAC signal wire.
Connect the female quick connect terminals to the two male 1⁄4-in quick-connect terminals
on the control board marked EAC-1 and EAC-2. On some air handling systems, the termi-
nals are labeled EAC and COM.
Control Cable
The control cable is the connection of the
main air cleaning system to the wall control
panel.The CleanZone will not run without a
proper connection to the wall control unit.
