Nu-Calgon GPS iWave-V Training manual

Nu-Calgon Instruction Bulletin 4-405
Installation & Wiring:
1. Disconnect air handler power before installing.
2. Mount unit in one of three ways as shown on the
previous page—duct, internal wall or fan inlet.
3. Connect only 24 VAC nominal power—a dedicated
power supply may be necessary on some residential
systems to prevent excessive power draw on the
control board. Check with AHU manufacturer if 10VA
capacity is available—WHEN IN DOUBT USE A
DEDICATED CIRCUIT!
4. Unit may be powered 24/7 or may be interlocked with
fan—unit only delivers plasma and purifies when air is
flowing.
5. Red wire goes to 24 VAC, black wire goes to neutral
or ground.
6. Green LED will illuminate when powered and there are
no faults.
7. Do not touch carbon fiber brushes while powered!
8. IMPORTANT! Ensure air flows across
both brushes at the same time
like a football through a field
goal post.

Fan Inlet Mount
• Internal magnets holding unit
to fan inlet (shaft side).
• Use self-tapping screws to
secure device, especially for
high velocity applications
or excessive vibration when
using magnets.
Inside Wall/Cabinet Mount
• Internal magnets holding unit
to wall duct or air handler
metal panel.
External Duct Mount
• Use two self-tapping screws
to hold unit to duct.
• Drill two 3/8" holes spaced
1-3/4" apart on center or drill
one 2-1/4" hole.
IMPORTANT! Install in return air between air filter and
cooling coil. Fiber brushes must be 2 inches away from
metal and other wiring.

9. CRITICAL! Ensure all 24 VAC wiring stays away from carbon fiber brushes and is per NEC / local codes. Secure
wires if necessary with wire/tape so they never move and touch brushes.
10. CRITICAL! Ensure the carbon fiber brushes are at least 2 inches away from anything metal and other wiring!
11. Mount the device after final particle filtration in the system. The best location to mount the device is after the particle
filter and before the cooling coil; if this is not possible, after both the particle filter and cooling coil is acceptable on
the supply. Mounting the device before the coil will ensure pathogens, mold and odors are controlled throughout the
entire depth of the coil.
12. Leaving the fan in the “On” position will provide the best air purification results. If the fan cycles based on comfort
cooling/heating setpoints, the air quality will not be the best possible.
13. Unit has a 250 VAC/1A in-line fuse—if 24 VAC is confirmed and LED is off, check fuse.
Maintenance:
1. Turn power off.
2. Wipe off the carbon fiber brushes as needed to keep the ion output at maximum levels. Use a cloth or nylon brush
to gently clean the brushes when the power is off.
3. Brush cleaning intervals will depend on filtration effectiveness upstream of the device and may range from requiring
cleaning every filter change to once per year. It is highly recommended to review the brush cleanliness while changing
filters.
4. There are no parts to replace. Enjoy your new air cleaning system!
