Locate Electronic Air Cleaners consistent with
existing air circulation in the room so that the
heating and air conditioning systems are comple-
mented by the air cleaners.
1. Choose an area which compliments the rest of
the air flow in the room before you mount the air
cleaner.
2. Make sure you have correct lengths of chain, and
that it is capable of sustaining the weight of the unit.
Standard hardware item, link chain with a working
load of at least 100 lbs. Also make sure you have
mounting lag screws or equivalent fasteners to at-
tach the chain to the ceiling beams or studs. In
some instances, it may be necessary to construct a
mounting frame to properly suspend the unit.
3. Locate the ceiling studs or beams and attach the
correctly sized chain. Chain length should be such
that it will not allow the LA2-RC2to have a floor
to bottom height which would pose a hazard to
room occupants. LakeAir recommends a
minimum height of eight feet from floor tobottom
when chain hung.

Air cleaners must be mounted to strong
structural parts of the ceiling with adequate
head clearance, and should be a minimum
of 10 feet from air intake or exit ductwork
B. PROPER LOCATION OF MODEL LA2-RC2-HUV HEPA / UV Air Purifier:
The primary objective HEPA / UV air purifiers is to interrupt the transmission of air borne
infectious pathogens within the indoor environment. These models should be installed
above the heads of room occupants if possible. This is meant to minimize UVC to
occupants of the room.
UVC placement include congregate spaces, where unknown and potentially infected
persons may share the same space with uninfected persons (e.g., a medical waiting room
or homeless shelter). Common corridors potentially used by unknown infected persons in
a medical facility would also benefit from HEPA /UVC protection.
C. MOUNTING YOUR LakeAir MODEL LA2-RC2-HUV
LakeAir provides a 8’ cord with every air cleaner, but it is the responsibility of the purchaser
to provide adequate outlet which meets local codes. An approved extension cord may be
used if it meets local and national codes.
The LA2-RC2was designed with 4 mounting holes on the top and the bottom of the unit.
LakeAir provides eye bolts with the units so they may be hung by chains from supporting
beams on the ceiling. If you choose the optional wall mount for the LA2-RC1, see the
instruction sheet included with the Model 10009 Wall Mount. To mount using the included
eye bolts, follow the instructions below. The unit may be hung so the air flow is from the
left to the right, or fromthe right to the left depending on the needs of the customer.
