About your new SecureAire Whole-Home Air Purication System
The Whole-Home Air Purication System easily mounts into the return air
ductwork of any gas, oil, or electric forced air furnace or central air conditioning
system with design airow up to 2000 cfm.
ACTIVE Particle Control™
The SecureAire Whole-Home Air Purication System is based upon ACTIVE
Particle Control™ technology that is continuously working to remove airborne
contaminants in the living space, including particulates, pathogens, and VOCs.
STEP 1: CONDITION
Particles entering the SecureAire System become
electrically CONDITIONED.
STEP 2: COLLISION
Conditioned Particles are forced to COLLIDE, gaining
mass in the process.
STEP 3: CAPTURE & INACTIVATE
Collisions make particles easier to CAPTURE within the lter
media. Once CAPTURED, any viable pathogens will be
INACTIVATED or killed.
STEP 4: TRANSPORT
Particles escaping CAPTURE, are CONDITIONED and are thereby
used to TRANSPORT contaminants from the treated space to the
SecureAire lter.

Note: The SecureAire Air Purier may be wired to be on continuously, even without the system
fan being on, as there are no harmful byproducts, such as ozone, produced by this device.
Step Ten: System Operation Check
A. Turn on the SecureAire Air Purier with the ON/OFF switch. The switch illuminates a green light
indicating that the power supply is on. An audible clicking noise (4 times loud followed by 4 times soft)
indicates that the system’s self-test procedure has conrmed proper operation and the high voltage
power supply is working correctly.
Under normal operation, the SecureAire Air Purier may create a slight hissing sound indicating that
the high voltage grids are activated. Note: Unlike other electronic air ltration or air cleaning
products, this “hissing sound” does not indicate that ozone or any other potentially unsafe
byproduct is being created. The SecureAire Air Purier creates no harmful byproducts.
B. Turn o the SecureAire Air Purier and the ON/OFF switch light turns o, indicating the entire
SecureAire power supply is powered o. The SecureAire Air Purier is now safe to access. Open the
front door and insert the lter (and pre-lter, if included), close and latch the door and press the ON/
OFF switch to the ON position. The self-test procedure will start again and conrm the power supply
is working correctly.
Built-in User Safety — Opening the front door before turning o the SecureAire Air Purier will disable
the high voltage circuit and de-energize the entire device.
Congratulations! The SecureAire Air Purier installation is complete.
