FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Congratulations on the purchase of your CleanEffectsTM
whole house air cleaner. As you already know, your
CleanEffectsTM air cleaner will outperform even the best
HEPA filter, removing an unprecedented 99.98% of
airborne allergens that pass through the filter.
Your CleanEffectsTM whole house air cleaner can be
installed either as part of a Communicating heating and
air conditioning system or as part of a traditional 24 volt
system.
When installed as part of a Communicating System in
which the indoor unit (furnace or air handler), outdoor
unit (air conditioner or heat pump), and comfort control
are equipped with our exclusive Communicating
technology, your system performs a continuous
loop of system diagnostics and data output. The
Communicating System monitors itself and quickly
identifies any operational faults, automatically issuing a
service alert.
Your CleanEffectsTM whole house air cleaner can also be
installed as part of a traditional 24 volt heating and air
conditioning system.
Either way the CleanEffectsTM whole house air cleaner is
installed as part of your total comfort system, you and
your family can breathe easier than ever before.

that convert the 24 Volt AC to the high-voltage, direct cur-
rent required to power the FIELD CHARGER and COLLEC-
TION CELLS. Allows access to the COLLECTION CELLS,
FIELD CHARGER and PRE-FILTER.

NOTE: International (50 Hz) Timings:
Due to differences in electrical systems outside
the United States, customers with 50 Hz electrical
systems will need to be aware of minor differences
in the timings shown in this guide. 50 Hz timings

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Turn on the Trane CleanEffectsTM by pressing and re-
leasing the POWER button. The backlit POWER and
RESET button will illuminate along with the first green
LED indicating power is present. When the indoor fan is
operating the first green LED will slowly flash. This indi-
cates the FIELD CHARGER and COLLECTION CELLS
have power and the unit is operating normally. There is
a slight time delay between the indoor fan starting and
LED flashing.
NOTE: There is a 10 [12] minute delay after the indoor
fan operates, before the air cleaner starts to operate,
each time the power to the air cleaner is turned off/on.
Your air filtration system only operates when the air
is circulating through the indoor unit. The air filtration
system is most effective at cleaning the air if the
fan operates continuously. Most thermostats have
a setting that will permit continuous fan operation.
Continuous fan mode during Cooling operation
may not be appropriate in humid climates. If the
indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity or simply
feels uncomfortably humid, it is recommended
that the fan only be used in the AUTO mode.
In normal operation, the whole house air cleaner may
make a slight sound as the air passes through it and
is cleaned. In some applications, you may notice this
sound coming from the return air vent(s). If desired, this
sound level can be reduced with minimal impact on air
cleaning efficiency by reducing the power setting of the
FIELD CHARGER in the SET-UP mode (see pages
9-10).

CAUTION
!
Before cleaning the coil or ducts in the air handler
or furnace, remove the COLLECTION CELLS, FIELD
CHARGER, and PRE-FILTER from the air cleaner.
Chemicals used during the cleaning of the air
handler, furnace, or ductwork can damage the air
cleaner components and degrade the performance
of the air cleaner.

▲CAUTION
!
Handle the door only by using the handles on the
front of the door. Grasp the door by the handles as
depicted in Figure 3 to remove and replace the door.
Do not handle the door on the edges. Metal edges
may be sharp and could result in injury if the door is
not handled properly.
CLEANING
Cleaning Instructions:
The air cleaner utilizes a PRE-FILTER and
COLLECTION CELLS. The purpose of the PRE-FILTER
is to capture large particles before they enter the
COLLECTION CELLS which allows the COLLECTION
CELLS to work more efficiently.
1. Turn the air conditioning system off at the Comfort
Control (thermostat).
▲WARNING
!
High Voltage is present within the air cleaner for
operation. Before removing the Power Door, turn
the power off and wait at least 15 seconds to allow
voltage to discharge. Failure to follow instructions
could result in death or serious personal injury.
2. Turn off power to the air cleaner by pushing and
holding the POWER button for three seconds. The
LED’s will remain on until the voltage has dis-
charged and it is safe to remove the door. This re-
quires approximately 15 seconds. Do not remove
the door until all the lights are off.
3. Disconnect the power/control cable.
4. Rotate the two latches and remove the door as
shown in Figure 3. Place the door in a secure loca-
tion.
5. Remove the PRE-FILTER (Figure 4) and/or the
COLLECTION CELLS (Figure 5) from the air
cleaner.
