SELF-CLEANING & NO MAINTENANCE
The PlasmaPURE AutoClean 1500 is a self-cleaning, maintenance-free
needlepoint ionizer that produces positive and negative ions that neutralize
harmful pollutants, odors and pathogens (mold spores, bacteria and viruses).
This compact self-cleaning unit automatically removes dust and dirt build-up
on the needles eliminating the need for maintenance. It can be easily
mounted at the fan inlet of almost any air handling system including AC
Units, furnaces, mini-splits, fan coil units and VRF systems. The AutoClean
1500 is self-contained in an ABS enclosure which has molded tabs with
mounting slots. Unit accepts 12-24V AC/DC without the use of an external
power supply. The AutoClean 1500 is UL 2998 validated for zero ozone
emissions.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Do not connect to power before mechanical installation
is complete.
1. Included with the ionization unit is a mounting kit containing (4)
self-tapping screws, (2) magnetic strips to hold the unit in place and 6ft of
22ga power leads.
2. Mount ionization unit to allow for future access.
3. Mount the unit at or near the fan inlet using the slots in the mounting
tabs, insuring that air flows over the two needlepoint emitters
simultaneously. Mount the ionizer to the fan casing to avoid interference
with the fan blades. See Figures 1 & 2.
4. The unit should be mounted downstream of the filter.
5. For best results avoid locations directly downstream of a humidifier.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Do not connect to power before installation is complete.
Always disconnect power to the unit before handling the ionizer.
1. All field wiring to be in accordance with the National Electric Code
Section 725 and authorities having jurisdiction.
2. It is recommended that surge protection be installed with this ionizer at
the equipment level, building level, or circuit breaker panel feeding the
product.
3. If a step down transformer is used to feed the ionizer, the transformer
must be grounded.
4. Do not install the ionizer on the same circuit as a UV Lamp or connect to
the same transformer as a UV Lamp.
5. Connect power to ionizer using either 12V to 24V AC or DC.
See Figure 3.
6. Connect power wires to power inlet fitting by pressing the orange tab
firmly, inserting the appropriate wire, then releasing the orange tab.
Repeat as necessary for the other wires. Strip wire insulation as necessary.
7. For best results interlock ionizer power with fan control circuit.
8. Apply power to the unit. The LED indicator will be green when power is
applied to the ionizer, but then turns orange when functioning properly.

OPERATION
1. When power is applied to the unit, the ionizer will be activated. The LED will
be green for several seconds indicating power has been applied to the ionizer.
2. The green LED turns orange indicating the unit is in operation mode and ions
are being produced.
3. Two minutes after initial startup, the LED changes back to green and the first
cleaning cycle is automatically initiated. After the cleaning cycle, the LED
returns to orange indicating proper operation.
4. The cleaning cycle will repeat every 24 hours if unit operates continuously.
If fan doesn’t run continuously, steps 1 through 3 will repeat once the fan is
energized.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit is not operating, check the following:
1. Verify that all power connections are correct and tight. Reconnect any loose
wires as necessary.
2. Verify that the supply fan is running to initiate operation, and that the orange
LED illuminates. If the LED is green, and cleaning cycle is not active (wait a
few minutes), contact Plasma Air for further support.
