iWave iWave-F Training manual

Nu-Calgon Instruction Bulletin 4-420
Installation Instructions:
The iWave-F is a highly versatile ion generating device
that is designed to be typically installed at the base of the
cooling coil for ductless and duct air conditioning systems;
but the device can be installed in supply air as well. The
iWave-F is an ideal, no replacement part device that can
be integrated into wall or ceiling cassette indoor coils of
mini-splits, PTAC units or commercial systems where there
may not be enough room to install the iWave-C between
the filter and coil. It can also be used to inhibit mold in ice
machine applications. The 36 inch ion generating bar can
be used for coils up to 48 inches wide. For coils beyond
the 36 inch ionizer length, simply center the ionizer bar on
the coil to make sure the ionization best covers the coil
width. For coils shorter than 36 inches, see the section on
iWave-F modification directions on the back page.
Simply peel back the sticky backing to the power pack
and ionization bar and stick it across the width of the coil,
near its base so the iWave-F treats the coil as well as the
breathing zone. For ice machines, install on top and/or
side panel of equipment, above the water line so it creates
a plasmafield inside the machine. Connect the appropriate
leads of the iWave-F to 110VAC to 240VAC power and
reassemble the equipment and turn on power to the unit.
Mini-Split Instructions:
1. Turn power off to mini-split.
2. Open front cover of indoor unit.
3. Remove filter screens.

4. Measure the length of coil and affix ionizer bar to solid
surface (often plastic) on top of the coil. If there is no
plastic surface, the iWave-F can be affixed directly
to the top of the fins. (See Figure 6.) The width of the
plastic region will easily accommodate the iWave-F
ionizer bar so it can treat the coil, barrel blower and
breathing zone of the room. For coils between 36-48
inches, center the ionizer bar on top of the coil and
affix. For coils less than 36 inches, refer to the iWave-F
modification directions below.
Critical: Keep top of iWave-F strip a minimum of two
inches away from metal surfaces to prevent emitter
grounding, leading to performance reduction.
5. Depending on mini-split model, the area available to
mount power pack will vary. Either affix with adhesive
backing to back cabinet wall or side of coil. (See Figure 6.)
6. Run wires to the electrical compartment to hook up to
110VAC to 240VAC power source to where iWave-F will
power on with the indoor fan. For 110/120VAC input,
connect the black wire (hot) and white wire (neutral).
For 208/240VAC input, connect red wire (hot) and white
wire (Neutral or Other AC Phase) to applicable electrical
terminal block. Do not use the black wire with 208-
240VAC input! Important: Always add a wire nut to wire
not being used (red or black) depending on voltage input.
7. Trim wires to length hook up to appropriate terminal
connections and connect. Harness/secure wires within
the equipment as necessary. The LED on iWave-F power
pack will turn green when power is supplied.
8. Reassemble filter screens, close the front cover and turn
on power to mini-split.

iWave-F Modification Instructions:
When the iWave-F is too long for the coil which it’s being applied, perform the following
steps:
1. Measure how much past the end of the coil the iWave-F lies.
2. Bend the iWave-F back on top of itself (DO NOT bend under with sticky backing
facing each other) so the brush pairs on the top will lay next to the brush pairs on
the bottom, shown in Figure 1.
3. Peel the backing off of the iWave-F and press it down to the cooling coil starting
at the power entry side of the iWave-F. DO NOT press down on the end of the
iWave-F that will need folded to shorten the length. See Figure 2.
4. Fold the iWave-F back to achieve the length required, lining up the bottom and top
layer brush pairs as shown in Figure 1, and place a piece of electrical tape across
the joint. See Figure 3.
5. Continue to use electrical tape down the iWave-F towards the end, making sure
that the tape joints are between the brush pairs. DO NOT allow the tape to cover
the brush pairs. See Figure 4.
6. DO NOT crease the end of the iWave-F flat. As a guide, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver
inside the fold joint to ensure the proper bend is achieved. See Figure 5.
7. Once the iWave-F has been folded and taped to the length required, push it down
on the coil.
8. A successful fold procedure will create “pockets” for the carbon fiber brushes to
emit the ions.

NOTE: For best results, power
continually. From time-to-time,
lint/dust must be brushed off
the iWave-F emitters with a
soft bristle brush.
Cleaning: If required, use a wet wipe or damp cloth to clean the
ionizer bar. A soft bristle brush, like toothbrush, can also be used
to clean debris from ion emitters. Do not expose the iWave-F to
corrosive cleaners. Contact Nu-Calgon for further guidance with
coil cleaner options.
Limited Warranty:
The iWave-F is warranted for three years and covers any defects in
material or workmanship under normal use. If during the warranty
period a claim is made, the product will be replaced. GPS’ warranty
does not cover labor, return shipping charges, damage from
connecting the unit to the wrong voltage, or improper iWave-F
installation in system. See GPS’ standard warranty, terms and
conditions available at www.nucalgon.com for further information.
