WHAT THE ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER DOES
Your High Efficiency Electronic Air Cleaner has been
designed to remove tobacco smoke particles, cooking
smoke and grease, atmospheric dust, coal dust,
insecticide dust, mites, pollen, mold spores, fungi,
bacteria, viruses and more down to 0.01 micron (0.01
micron = 1/2,540,000 of an inch).
BENEFITS
 Helps clear up a smokey environment quickly, so
customers can dine more comfortably.
 Helps employees reduce suffering from irritated
eyes, nasal congestion and respiratory problems
that lead to absenteeism.
 Helps prevent damaging black and greasy particles
from staining ceilings, walls and furnishings,
reducing the amount of housekeeping and
redecorating costs.
 Helps to lower energy bills by recycling air rather
than exhausting expensive heated or cooled air.
HOW IT WORKS
This Air Cleaner works on the principle of "Electrostatic
Precipitation". Millions of airborne pollutants are drawn
through the intake grill on the bottom of the Air Cleaner
and first pass through a Prefilter which removes all
large visible particles such as lint. Next, smaller
particles move to a two-stage electrostatic Collecting
Cell where they are given a powerful positive charge by
the ionizing wires. Charged particles then move into
the collecting area where they are attracted to a series
of grounded plates. Pollutants are held in this section
like a magnet until washed away during cleaning.
Clean air is then dispersed from the side grills in four
directions allowing superior air flow circulation.
The Air Cleaner
creates a circular
air flow pattern
which never allows
air to rest at the
ceiling.
IMPORTANT: Please read entire instructions before
installing the Electronic Air Cleaner.
WARNING
Before beginning any installation or modification, be
certain that the main line electrical disconnect switch
is in OFF position. Electric shock could result. Tag
disconnect switch with suitable warning labels.

MAJOR COMPONENTS
Description
The Electronic Air Cleaner is approximately 29½ x 27 x
14½ inches (75 x 68.6 x 37 cm). The unit is designed
to be mounted to the ceiling. The steel cover and
intake grill are hinged to allow easy access to the
Collecting Cells and Power Box. The unit is rated up to
1300 CFM (2210 m3/hr).
Cabinet
The cabinet is constructed of 20 gauge steel. The
external parts have a tough powder-coated, scratch-
resistant finish. The internal parts are galvanized steel.
Access to the Collecting Cells, Power Box and
Prefilters is made by lifting the cover, sliding towards
the front and lowering.
The cover is interlocked to cut power to the unit when
opened.
Prefilters
The washable Prefilters measuring 12½ x 20 inches
(31.75 x 50.8 cm) are constructed of multi-layers of
aluminum mesh for maximum filtration of large
particles.
Collecting Cells
The dual voltage Collecting Cells are constructed of
heavy gauge aluminum to resist rust and damage. The
first stage, the ionizing section, is charged at
approximately 7500 VDC. The collecting plates are
alternately grounded and charged at 5000 VDC. The
arrow on the Cell indicates the direction of air flow
which must point up towards the fan motor.
Motor & Fan Blade
The motor is 1/12 HP, 1050 RPM, 3 speed, controlled
by a 3-position slide switch. The motor is thermally
protected. The fan blade is aluminum, 18 inches (45.7
cm) with a 16˚ pitch.
INSTALLATION
1. Read instructions carefully. Failure to do so may
result in product damage or injury.
2. Make sure the sizing is correct for your application.
3. Installation should be done by a knowledgeable
technician.
4. After installation, check out operation as provided
in these instructions.
Mounting
1. Remove the unit from the box with packing still on
the unit and lay it on its back, grill side up.
2. Release the cover by sliding towards the front of
the unit and lifting up.
3. Remove the "S" hook from each chain, tilt cover
up, and release from back.
4. Holes are provided in the cabinet to accommodate
5/16 inch (8 mm) threaded rod. Threaded rod can
be attached to angle iron, laid across the joists,
and drilling holes through these supports. Pass
threaded rod up through the supports and secure
with two nuts and washers. This will allow
adjustment of the unit so that it is flush with the
underside of the ceiling.
Leave enough room around the Air Cleaner for
removal of Collecting Cells and Prefilters.
5. Replace cover and chain.
Blower and Motor are
hidden behind 4 directional
discharge air grills.
Rear Hinges permit smooth
release of cover for easy
installation.
3-Speed Fan Control allows
adjustment of air flow to
activity level in room.
Hinged Cover provides
convenient access to Grill,
Prefilters and Collecting
Cells. Safety interlock cuts
power when cover is
opened.
Heavy duty Collecting Cells
(2) capture airborne
pollutants and simply wash
clean.
Washable, aluminum mesh
Prefilters (2) catch lint and
large particles before they
enter collecting cells.
Removable Intake Grill for
easy cleaning.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
Wiring
All wiring must comply with applicable codes and
standards. See unit rating label for correct voltage and
amperage.
1. A knockout is provided on top of the unit, adjacent to
the wiring compartment. For convenience, a wall
switch may be installed near the Air Cleaner, in series
with the power source, to turn the unit on and off.
2. Remove the cover of the wiring compartment to locate
the input leads and ground stud. The Air Cleaner
must be grounded for proper operation and safety.
3. Once the unit is mounted and wired, the cover can be
replaced on the hinge and the chain replaced on the
"S" hooks. Close the cover by sliding it forward, lifting
the cover over the front flange and sliding it back into
place.
Operation Check
1. With the cover closed and in place, turn the system
switch on.
2. Adjust the fan speed with the slide switch. Insure the
unit functions on all speeds.
3. The Performance Indicator Light should be lit, which
indicates the Power Board is functioning properly.
When the Air Cleaner is new it may arc or periodically
make "snapping sounds". A slight odor of ozone may be
noticeable. The arcing and odor are due to rough edges
and burrs on the cells. These symptoms will disappear
during the first few weeks of normal operation. The ozone
levels are well below government standards for indoor air
concentration.
Maintenance Schedule
The Collecting Cells and Prefilters must be cleaned on a
regular basis for the unit to function at its peak efficiency.
The frequency of cleaning will vary from one environment
to another. The following is an average wash cycle:
 Stores, Offices, Computer & Conference Rooms =
4 Weeks
 Cafeterias, Restaurants, Lounges = 3-4 Weeks
 Bars, Bingo halls = 1-3 Weeks
Cleaning & Service
1. Turn off the system switch and wait 15 seconds for
high voltage to dissipate.
2. Open the cover and cell access door and remove
collecting cells and prefilters. Cell plates are sharp.
Handle with care.
3. Place Cells in tub and spray completely with DAX
Detergent, allowing detergent to run down both
sides of plates and ionizing wires. Let sit for 5
minutes. Rinse Cells well with hot water (140ºF /
60ºC maximum). Repeat washing process 3 times.
4. If dirt or nicotine remains on plates, let Cells soak in
hot soapy water for 30 minutes. Never use any
instrument to clean the cell, as this may damage
the ionizing wires or bend cell plates.
5. Spray Prefilters with DAX Detergent and rinse well.
6. To dry cells, tilt on 45º angle against wall with arrows
pointing sideways. Allow to dry completely for 10-24
hours. Place in sunlight for faster drying time.
7. When the Cells and Prefilters are dry, place them
back into the unit. The arrow on the cell points up.
The red fiberboard on the Cell should line up with the
contacts in the cabinet. Close door and cover. If the
Cells arc when the switch is turned on or if the
Performance Indicator Light does not come on, then
the Cells are still wet. Allow more time for drying.
The use of DAX Detergent is strongly recommended for
cleaning as it is a heavy-duty solution used expressly for
removal of accumulated pollutants on Cell plates. If used
as directed, DAX will not harm aluminum or steel. Any
problem arising out of the use of another cleaning agent
will void the warranty. Do not use detergents that are
corrosive or abrasive or detergents containing chlorine or
ammonia.
DAX Detergent is available in 1 gallon (4.54L) and 4.8
gallon (22L) containers as well as 45 gallon drums (204L).
Service Maintenance
1. Determine if the Air Cleaner is performing properly by
seeing that:
 System switch is ON
 Performance indicator is ON
2. A simple test to check hi-voltage would be to blow
dust or cigarette ash into the intake grill. An audible
arc or snapping sound should be heard, ensuring
good hi-voltage.
3. If in doubt, and if the Cells are not collecting any
carbon or nicotine tars, then see "Troubleshooting
Guide" or consult your installation dealer.
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause injury or death. Be certain
main line disconnect switch is off before wiring.
CAUTION
Make sure Air Cleaner switch is OFF before
performing any maintenance or removing any
components.
CAUTION
Damage to Cells may occur if improperly handled or
washed. Do not wash Cells in a dishwasher. Never
use any object to clean between the cell plates, as
this may cause damage to plates or ionizing wires.
Never place cell in oven to dry. The edges of the cell
may be sharp - handle with care.
WARNING
Electronic Air Cleaners use high voltage (low
amperage). Only trained personnel should perform
service. Use caution. Electric shock can cause injury
or death.

SERVICE
Adjusting High Voltage Output
In case of excessive arcing on a clean, dry Cell, there is
an adjustable resistor mounted on the Power Board.
1. Turn off the system switch before opening the unit.
2. Remove the cover by slipping the "S" hook from the
chain and letting the cover gently down.
3. Lift the cover up off the rear hinge.
4. Remove the power box cover.
5. With a small slot screwdriver, adjust "R-2" slightly
clockwise to reduce voltage to the cell. Do not reduce
the voltage too much or the efficiency of the air
cleaner will be reduced.
Removing The Power Box
1. Shut off main breaker or switch.
2. Remove the cover as described previously.
3. Open power box cover.
4. Disconnect the following wires:
 Terminal Block -Red, blue or yellow, black and
