Your Smokemaster
X-400
is an advanced
self-contained
electronic
air cleaner.
ThemodelX-400
is an
efficient indoor pollution fighter while reducing costly energy consumption. It is designed to be
installed
in the space
of a 2 x 2 drop ceiling
panel.
CLEAN
AIR
A clean fresh atmosphere
is a plus to any business.
With your new Smokemaster
Electronic
Air
Cleaner,
your customers
and ernployees
cannow breathe
air that is relatively freeof smoke,
dust or
pollen.This is especially
important with regardto today'sconcern
with the effects
of smokersupon
non-smokers
and also
for a morecomfortable
environment
for allergy
sufferers.
LOWER
ENERGY
CONSUMPTION
A common
solutionto the problem
of dense concentrations
of smokeis to exhaust.
Excessive
exhaust-
ing is wasteful and very expensive.
One is exhausting
expensively
heated
or cooled air and needing
to heator coolthe outdoor air coming
in. A Smokemaster
X-400
drastically
reducesthe need
for out-
sideair. Thismeans
you can
saveas
muchas40percent
on heating
andcooling
bills.
REDECORATING
Smokeparticles also ha_ve
a tendency to settle out as a dulling film on mirrors, windows, trophies,
bottles
and glassware.
In fact, most of the particles
which prJiuct soiling and staining are lust too
smallto beremoved
by_average
dusting.Electronic
air cleaning
gets
rid of-theseparticles
before
they
have a chance
to start the soiling process.
Less
soiling meansioig"t periods betweenredecorating.If
the appearance
of your business
is important to you, electronic
air-cleaningis certainly a plus.
EXTRACOMFORT
AND SAVINGS
The
effective
air patternof the ModelX-400
creates
a morecomfortable
atmosphere
by constant
slight
air movement.
This slight movement
also
helpsto eliminate
existingdrafts. Another side benefiiof
the air recirculation
Pattern
is that it distributes
the heated
or cooled air more evenly.
Thisevendis-
tribution helps
to reduce
the amountof heated
or cooled
air needed
for the samedegiee
of warmth or
cool.
LOWOPERATING
COST
In addition to reduced
heating/cooling
billsand redecorating
bills,the relativelylow cost
of maintain-
ing an X-400
electronic
air cleaner
is another
financialboostto your business,
this air cleaner
hasno
throwaway filter or other parts that must be periodically
replaced.
The durable electronic
cellsand
prefilter screens
are washedand used over and over again.No replacement
parts meansreduced
maintenance
cost.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
INTERLOCKSYSTEM
In order for all air cleaner functions to receive
operating power the grille must besecurelyin posi-
tion. This actuatesthe safety inter-lock switch. Air
cleanerwill not function without grille in place.
FANSWITCH
Your electronic air cleanerhas an Off-Low-Med-Hi
switch. The electroniccollectionsystemand built-in
fan are designed to run simultaneously. Turn off
the air cleanerbeforedropping the grille to remove
the electronic
cellsfor cleaning.
SYSTEMLIGHT
Your electronic air cleaner is equipped to tell you
simply and quickly that it is working properly. The
amber system light tells you at a glancethe status
of the power supply. The systemlight should beon
when the unit is on.
TEST
BUTTON
Pushing the white button labeled "push to test"
generates
a snapping noise which indicates proper
function of collectorsystem.
MAINTENANCE
WASHING
THEELECTRONIC
CELL AND PREFILTER
To maintain peak efficiency, the electronic cells
and prefilter in your electronic air cleaner must
bewashed regularly. The washing is necessary
to
remove dirt particles collected from the air.
Check with your Air Quality Engineering
representativeto determine how often your cells
needto bewashedfor your particular application.
Grille may be removed from machine for periodic
washing. CAUTION
1. Beextremelycareful when working with X400
cell and filter. The edgesof the celle
and filter,
and the collection platee and ionizing wlreo of
the cell may be eharp.
2. When cleaningthe cellsand filtere, besureto
wear rppropriete protective geat, espectallygog-
gleeand glovee. Skin contactwith either alka-
line or acid detergent solution should be
avoided.
3. Usea etable platform to etandon when work-
ing wlth the electronic air cleaner.
4. Electronic air cleaners and their components
aresuoceptibleto damage.Teke carewhen work-
ing wlth them to avoid equipment damage.
1. Fill wash tub with cell cleaningdetergentand
hot water per detergent manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
2. Immerse cells in CLEANER and remove immedi-
ately.
3. Remove cells and set aside for five minutes to
allow CLEANERto penetrate.
4. Rinsecells well with hot water. Make certain no
residue remains on cells. Residue will adversely
affect cell performance by causing frequent arcing
and low efficiency.
.5. Inspect cells for broken wires or bent plates.
Repair or replaceas necessary.
(See
ServiceSection
for ionizer wire replacement
procedure.)
5. Removelint from prefilter with vacuum cleaner
or wash with mild detergent solution.

SERVICE
In the event of air cleaner malfunction there are
somesimple checks
you canperform to determine
if a serviceman
mugt becalled.
1. Checkcircuit fuse or breaker.Correct if fuse is
blown or breakeris tripped.
2. Be sure electronic cell is in place,intake grille
is closed
and unit is turned on.
If the problem persists, call serviceman.
The fol-
lowing information will beuseful to him.
1. Whether or not ambersystemlight is on.
2. If pushing white test button results in a snap-
ping sound.
ARCING
Frorr time to time you may hear a snapping noise
coming from the electronic air cleaner.This arcing
occurs when the air cleaner collects an unusually
large particle, when cell is wet, extraordinarily
dirty or damaged.
If an unusual amount of arcing persists,check
first
to determine if the electronic cell needs washing.
Look also for any sign of bent collector plates or
brokenionizer wires.
If arcing still occurs when cell is clean and dry,
consult your serviceman
or dealerfor repair.

DIAGNOSTICCHECKS
1.ENERGIZE ETECTRONIC
AIR CTEANER
a. Besure that the electroniccells
and prefilter
screens
are clean,dry and properly installed in
the air cleaner.
b. Energizethe air cleanerand checkfor opera-
tion in all fan speeds.
In each casethe fan
should run and the SYSTEM
light should turn
on.
-If the fan doesnot run, check
the fan motor,
powersource, and interlocksafety
switch.
-If the SYSTEMlight does not come on, go to
step3.
-If the fan runs and the SYSTEM
light comes
on, goto step
2.
2.CHECKCOTLECTOR OUTPUT
a. With air cleanerturned on, push TEST
BUT-
TON to momentarily short out the collector
sectionof the electroniccell.
b. Arcing indicates that the electronic air
cleaneris working properly.
c. If no arcing noise is heard, check for a
failure in the electronic cell or cell contact
board.
3.REMOVE CELLS
a.Turn off the air cleaner.
b. Open the service grille. Remove the elec-
tronic cells. Close
the grille.
c. Turn the air cleanerON. -If the light comes
on now, check the electronic cells for a short
circuit.'If the light remainsoff, go to step
4.
4. CHECK POWER SUPPLY AND INDICATOR
LAMP
a.Remove
electrical
cover.
b. Use a neon test light or a voltmeter to check
line voltageon the power supply.
-If the correct line voltage is present, continue
the checkout.
-If the correct line voltage is not measured on
the power supply, check backwards through the
switih and wiring to the Power sourceuntil the
problemcanbelocatedand corrected.
c.Checkthe voltageindicator light.
-If the voltage is correct (about 120Vac)and if
the light is out, replace
the assembly.
-If there is no voltage,rePlace
the power supply.
USEAN OHMMETER
TO CHECK
THE ELECTRONIC
CELLS
FORSHORT
CIRCUITS
COMPONENT
CHECKS
CHECK FAN MOTOR AND POWERSOURCE
-If the fan does not run when the switch is in
HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW positions, check vol-
tagesupplied to the motor.
1. If the motor does not turn with the correct
voltage applied, check to see that the shaft is
free to turn. Replace
the motor if necessary.
2. If the correct line voltage is not measured
check back through the wiring to the Power
source,
including interlock safety switch.
CHECK ELECTRONICCELLS
VISUAL INSPECTION
Carefully examine the electronic cell. Carefully
look for--
-Bentcollectorplates
-Brokenionizing wires.
-Dirt accumulationon insulators.
-Contact
tabs
-Ionizer and collectordamage
CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUITS
Use an ohmmeter to check resistancebetween the
outside frame of the cell and both the ionizer and
collector contacts. In each case, the resistance
should beinfinite (open circuit).
