Nu-Calgon iWave-C Training manual

Nu-Calgon Instruction Bulletin 4-410
Installation:
The iWave-C is designed for metal duct mounting
applications. The preferred mounting location is after a
prefilter and before the cooling coil. An alternate mounting
location is the supply air duct or the return air duct. The
weatherproof housing will allow mounting indoor or outdoor.
Step 1. Turn power off to the unit.
Step 2. After finding the appropriate location, cut or drill a
4 inch (100mm) round hole. Insert the unit into the 4 inch
(100mm) round hole and secure with four self tapping
screws provided. Please note, if the unit is being mounted
to duct board, the included spring loaded wing nuts and
bolts will be required.
Wiring:
Confirm power is off prior to wiring. Follow all local and
national electric, mechanical and building codes when
installing and wiring. The iWave-C can be powered with a
24VAC low voltage circuit or 110VAC to 240VAC high volt-
age circuit. The face panel of the unit is labeled showing
which terminals are 24VAC, 110-240VAC input and neutral
and come prewired from the factory. Opening the unit is
not necessary for installation. Please note, use only one
voltage source at a time and never connect low and high
voltage simultaneously! Whichever voltage is not used, use
a wire nut to protect the unused wire. The unit is provided
with 6 feet of liquid-tight flex conduit to reach a junction
box for wiring.

*For systems beyond 12 tons, multiple iWave-Cs can be used.
Install a minimum of two feet apart for maximum ion output.
The wires are color coded as follows:
• Black wire = 110-240VAC input
• White wire = Neutral
• Orange (or gray) wire = 24VAC input
• Purple wire = Alarm Dry Contact
The unit is provided with alarm contacts for use with a
building management system. When the unit is powered
and there are no faults, the alarm “dry” contacts will be
closed, providing continuity. The contacts are rated up to
250VAC at 1A.
CAUTION! NEVER TOUCH BRUSHES WHILE OPERATING.
SHOCK MAY OCCUR. DO NOT CONNECT WITH AN
EXTENSION CORD.

WARNING
1. The health aspects associated with the use of this product and its ability to aid in disinfection of environmental air
have not been investigated by UL LLC.
2. This product shall not be installed behind a suspended floor/ceiling or a structural wall, ceiling, or floor.
3. This product is suitable for mounting to duct of metallic Construction only. Installation must be such that the structural
integrity of the ducting is not compromised.
4. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH: DISCONNECT All ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLIES
BEFORE SERVICING
Limited Warranty:
The iWave-C 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-C installation in system. See GPS’
standard warranty, terms and conditions available at www.nucalgon.com for further information. Contact your local
Nu-Calgon account manager with further questions.
Operation:
Once powered, the unit initiates an internal check of all systems. After initializing, the display will blink between “On”,
“GPS” and the number of days the unit has been powered. If there is a fault, the unit display will show “FALT”.
Cleaning Cycle — The iWave-C comes with a preset cleaning cycle designed to clean the brushes every 5 days. At any
time, the cleaning cycle test button on the front panel may be pushed and the unit will initiate a cleaning cycle. While the
cleaning cycle is engaged, the display will change to “CLEA”. To change the cycle frequency, hold the cleaning cycle
button in for 5 seconds once the display shows “CLEA” and then press it until you see the number of days you want it to
wait between cycles, 1, 5, 10 and 20. Most applications will never require reprogramming.
Maintenance:
The iWave-C is designed to be maintenance free for years of trouble-free operation with the patent pending self-cleaning
system; eliminating the need to replace expensive UV lights/cells every couple of years as with competing technologies.
Although extensively tested for durability, it’s possible over years of self-cleaning cycles, the carbon fiber brushes can
wear from friction and require replacement. With the unit powered off, remove the iWave-C from the duct. Remove the
two Phillips screws that fasten the brushes to the iWave-C. Pull the brushes out of the electrical connector and insert
new brushes (available through Nu-Calgon). Replace the Phillips screws and attach the iWave-C into the duct and re-
energize the device to initiate normal operation.
Troubleshooting:
Problem Solution
Unit won’t power up Confirm proper voltage is applied and to the correct terminal
Display shows “FALT” Remove power, wait one minute and reapply power. If “FALT” still appears, try using alternate
power source, i.e. low voltage input versus high voltage input or vice versa. If FALT still
shows, call Nu-Calgon.
No Display / LED If the correct voltage source has been confirmed and the unit does not power up contact Nu-Calgon.
