HOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKSHOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKS

HOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKS

Dirt particles flowing through the ducts (Figure 1) first enters

the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint, etc.) are

trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, etc.) pass

through these pre-filters and enter the ionizing section (B).

Here each tiny particle receives a positive electrical charge.

These charged particles then enter the collecting section

(C). This section consists of a series of aluminum plates

which are alternately charged negative and positive.

The positive charge of the particles cause them to be

repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the negative

plates where they are collected . . . just as a magnet

attracts iron filings.

Clean-filtered air re-enters the supply duct system.

White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)

White Dust (Lint)

An Electronic Air Cleaner is designed to collect two major

types of contaminants: ➀ Irritants (Pollens, Spores, Molds,

Bacteria, etc.) and ➁Black Soiling Contaminants (Dirt and

Smoke particles).

The residue on the collecting plates of an electronic air

cleaner is black, indicating it is removing dirt from the air

stream. After installing an air cleaner you may notice white

dust (typically, long linty particles or fibers – from carpets,

cotton materials or drapery fabrics). This material is not

collected by the air cleaner because it does not contain the

irritants or soiling contaminants listed above or settles out of

the air before reaching the air cleaner. The presence of

white dust does not indicate an air cleaner requires service.

Carbon (Charcoal) FiltersCarbon (Charcoal) Filters

Carbon (Charcoal) Filters

Odors are gas molecules, not particles. They cannot be

removed by an Electronic Air Cleaner or by any other

filtration media designed to remove airborne particles.

However, some gases can be absorbed by an activated

carbon filter or diluted with fresh outdoor air. When odors

are present, the addition of charcoal filters will neutralize

odors, such as cooking odors, pet odors, cigar and ciga-

rette odors, ozone, etc. Optional charcoal filters are

available for your Air Cleaner. Refer to the parts list for the

charcoal filter part number for your Air Cleaner. Charcoal

filters require replacement. They cannot be washed. While

there is no rule of thumb for how often they should be

changed, you can use your best judgement based on the

odors you perceive in your environment.

Not only is your air cleaner easy to install, it is also easy to

operate and maintain. Its basic components, and their

functions, are as follows: (See Figure 2)

CabinetCabinet

Cabinet - mounts to existing duct work and houses the

collecting cells and pre-filters.

Collecting CellsCollecting Cells

Collecting Cells - are made in two sections and perform

the actual collecting of dust, dirt, and other impuri-

ties from the air. They contain the ionizing and

collection sections described above.

Each cell must be installed with the ionizing wires

on the air entering side. Each cell must be oriented

with the handles and contact button (Figure 2)

toward the operator.

Pre-filtersPre-filters

Pre-filters - are in two sections which are interchangeable.

They serve as a pre-filter to trap large particles

such as hair and lint before they can enter the cell

sections.

Power Pack-Power Pack-

Power Pack- contains operating and power on lights as well

as the solid state components that convert the 120

volt power supply to the high-voltage, direct current

required for the collecting cell.

LOCATING THE AIR FILTERLOCATING THE AIR FILTER

LOCATING THE AIR FILTER

Your air filter must be mounted in the return air duct of a

central forced-air system, on the air entering side of your

furnace. (See Figure 3 for example.)

Select a location that meets the following:

1. The face of the cell will be at a right angle to the air

stream.

2. Allow the following clearances to permit removal of

cells and pre-filters: (See Figures 4 and 5)

Model SST1000 - 14 inches

Model SST1400 - 15 inches

Model SST1600 - 14 inches

Model SST2000 - 15 inches

For complete dimension data refer to Figure 5.

3. The air filter is not to be placed in the discharge of

either the heating or cooling unit.

4. IMPORTANT:IMPORTANT:

IMPORTANT:IMPORTANT:

IMPORTANT: If atomizing spray type humidifier is

used, it must be installed downstream from the air

filter.

If your furnace duct system has a pre-installed boot,

discard front cover of boot and slide the air cleaner

component inside the boot. For installation of Air Cleaner

Retrofit (ACR) kits, see page 13.

If furnace opening cannot be enlarged to required size, a

transition sheet metal section must be used. Transition

must be planned for each job. Reduction should not be

more than 4 inches per linear foot, approximately 20

angular degrees (Figure 3).

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

The following is a typical installation of the air cleaner on

a “Highboy” furnace (Figure 8).

1. Place the air filter cleaner on the floor. Stand it upright

with the power door facing you (Figure 4). If a

horizontalinstallation isbeingplanned, laythecleaner

on its side, this will help you to visualize the relative

location of all parts.

Allow ample space for wiring and servicing the power

supply box (Figure 13).

2. Release the latch, remove the power pack (by grasp-

ing handle and pulling power pack away from cabinet)

and set it aside. Remove the collecting cells and pre-

filters. Set pre-filters and cells aside in a safe location

until the cabinet is installed.

3. Set the cabinet next to the furnace. If necessary,

enlarge the opening in the furnace (if possible) to

match the opening in the cabinet.

If the furnace opening cannot be enlarged, a transi-

tion fitting should be used. (Figure 3).

The cabinet can be attached directly (Figure 13), or

a starting collar can first be fitted to the furnace inlet.

A butt or slip joint can be used.

Securely attach the cabinet to furnace inlet, using at

least two of the mounting holes on each side of the

cabinet.

4. Using butt joint, attach duct work (normally an elbow)

to the upstream side of air cleaner cabinet. (Note the

use of the sheet metal turning vanes inside the elbow

to improve air distribution over the face of the cells.)

(Figure 14)

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: An optional method of attaching duct work to the

cabinet is to modify the cabinet (Figure 15) by bending the

tabs outward at a 90° angle and attaching duct work to

tabs.

Transition FittingsTransition Fittings

Transition Fittings

If the air duct does not fit the cabinet opening, a transition

fitting should be used. Gradual transitions are preferred

for greatest efficiency. Not more than four inches per

linear foot (approximately 20° angle) should be allowed

(Figure 3).

5. Connect the vertical duct section to the elbow. Wedge

a wood block between floor and elbow for support

(Figure 16).

6. Seal all joints in the return air system downstream

from the air cleaner with duct tape to prevent dust

from entering the air stream. Tape is usually applied

on the outside of ducts, but may also be applied on the

inside, or both.

8. This air cleaner unit has no air flow monitor installed,

it does require electrical wiring through the furnace

controls. Connect wiring to the furnace control termi-

nals. (EAC-H) for power, (EAC-N) for neutral, and

connect metal frame of EAC to ground. If air flow

monitor is required for operation, order F859-0381 Air

Flow kit. Install kit and connect a 120 VAC 60 Hz input

circuit. A 20 amp circuit is more than adequate.

9. Remove junction box cover and install the required

bushing into the 3/4 in. Knock out. With the supply

voltage turned off, route three (3) wires into junction

box for connections. (See Fig. 17.)

Insure all wires are clamped, wire connectors prop-

erly installed and grommets used to prevent wire

abrasion.

Figure 20

1. With the 120 VAC power turned on at the circuit

breaker for the furnace, push the air cleaner ON-OFF

switch to the “ON” position (Figure 20).

2. With the furnace blower running, the air cleaner will

be operating. An arcing or “snapping” sound may be

heard. This will occur occasionally, however the unit

is operating properly.

3. With the furnace blower running, the Operating Light

should be ON. If the Operating Light is not ON this

signifies that the cells need washing, or that trouble

exists in the unit.

If, after washing the cells, the Operating Light stays off,

the cell could be wet, improperly placed in the cabinet or

may need servicing.

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: An occasional flicker of the light accompanied by

harmless sparking or snapping noise may occur. This is

caused by trapping large particles of dirt. If arcing is

continuous, the cells should be washed or checked for

service problems see Basic SST Service Guide.

4. Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from cabinet.

Using a solution of warm water and low sudsing

detergent, soak cell(s) and pre-filter(s) for 20 to 30

minutes.

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: Ionizing wires may become coated causing

loss of cleaning ability by the collecting cell. Using a

damp cloth, wipe each ionizing wire, exercising care

not to damage them.

5. Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from solution and

rinse thoroughly with clean water.

6 Allow cell(s) and pre-filter(s) to drip dry for a mini-mini-

mum of 2 hours. Cell(s) and pre-filter(s) may be

tipped at a slight angle to expedite the drip-dry

process.

7. Reinstall the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) in the cabinet.

8. Replace the power pack. Turn furnace fan on. After

30 minutes push ON-OFF switch on the power pack

to the “ON” position.

A moderate amount of arcing or “snapping” may

occur at this time, which will indicate that the cell(s)

are still damp. If the noise is objectionable, push the

ON-OFF switch to the “OFF” position and allow

additional time for cell(s) and pre-filter(s) to dry. In

some cases the Operating Light will remain OFF

during this initial activation of the air cleaner, and this

would indicate that the cell(s) are not completely dry.

The Operating Light should remain ON while the

furnace fan is running once the drying is complete.

This guide contains service checks to assist service

personnel in locating and correcting any malfunction that

might occur to render the air cleaner ineffective or inop-

erative. The air cleaner has been designed with replace-

able components, such as the high-voltage power supply

and air flow switch. This allows the serviceman to replace

a faulty component rather than attempt repairs of such

components in the field.

All voltage measurements indicated can be made with a

high voltage D.C. probe and a general purpose volt ohm

meter. For example: Simpson 260 or equivalent.

For test purposes, the air flow switch may be “wired out”

of the system. This will eliminate the need for air flow

across the sensing thermistor to energize the power

supply (see Fig 23).

NOTE: All tests to be performed with the Ozone Reduc-

tion Jumper intact.

NOTE: When servicing the power pack components, all

wiring must be routed to factory specifications.

tools away from high voltage contact.

5. If Operating Light comes ON and output voltage is

between 6100 and 6800 VDC, power supply is good.

6. If voltage is good but Operating Light does not come

on, replace Operating Light.

CELL TESTCELL TEST

CELL TEST

1. Place collecting cell on a well insulated workbench

with the cell contact button pointing upward.

2. Select a power pack (with air flow switch bypassed

and ozone reduction jumper intact) that reads be-

tween 6100 and 6800 VDC at the cell contact with no

cell attached.

3. Place power pack on top of collecting cell ensuring

that there is proper contact between the cell contact

on the power pack contact.

4. Using a standard extension cord, apply 120 VAC to

power pack. Turn power switch to “ON” position.

5. Connect meter negative (-) lead to metal frame of

collecting cell. Use high voltage probe to measure

voltage at collecting cell ionizer or cell plates. Voltage

should be 6100 to 6800 VDC.

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE:Anew “out-of-box” cell may cause the voltage

to be lower than normal for a short period of time. To

obtain a more accurate measurement, “age” the cell

by applying high voltage to the cell for 15 to 30

minutes.

6 If voltage is below 6100 VDC, check cell for foreign

objects, bowed/bent/loose plates, broken ionizing

wires or cracked insulators. Wash cells if required. If

Operating Light remains OFF, replace collecting cell.

AIR FLOW MONITOR TESTAIR FLOW MONITOR TEST

AIR FLOW MONITOR TEST

1. Connect a multimeter set to read 120 VAC to power

supply terminals marked “LINE.”

2. Connect 120 VAC to power pack plug, turn power

switch “ON.”

3. Blow on thermistor at air flow monitor. 120 VAC

should appear at multimeter. Stop blowing and volt-

age should disappear in 10 - 15 seconds.

4. If voltage did not appear (Step 3), disconnect power

to power pack. Locate air flow switch and remove

power pack cover. Disconnect the three-pin plastic

connector. Jumper the two female pins (white wire to

white-brown wire) as shown in Fig. 23. Reconnect

power to power pack. Turn power switch “ON.”

A. If 120 VAC appears at multimeter, replace air

flow monitor.

B. If 120 VAC does not appear on multimeter,

problem is other than air flow monitor. Recheck

all primary wiring.

NOTE: The air flow monitor is designed to operate in the

temperature range of 65° to 120° F. Operation outside

this range is not recommended.

OZONEREDUCTIONOZONEREDUCTION

OZONEREDUCTION

All electronic air cleaners typically produce a small

amount of ozone that is within established limits.

Some customers may notice an odor especially at

high altitudes or low air flow rates.

This power supply has a “hairpin” shaped jumper

wire labeled W1 (see Fig 24) that can be cut and

separated in case of such complaints. This will

cause the power supply to limit the maximum

operating power to a lower level.

1. Removethe two pre-filtersfrom thepackageand insert

into cabinet tracks opposite the furnace. These will be

used to catch the larger particles that are in the air

stream before entering the collecting cell.

2. Insert the two collecting cells into the cabinet behind

the pre-filters. Be sure ionizing wires are directly

behind the pre-filters so the particles can be charged

as soon as the air leaves the pre-filters.

3. Remove cover plate on the power supply junction box

and remove the knockout needed to bring the wire to

the female receptacle.

4. Positionreceptacle with groundin thedownposition as

shown in Fig 17 (page 7) and pull wires through the

AIR

L’air poussiéreux qui circule dans les conduits (figure 1) traverse

d’abord les préfiltres (A), qui captent les grosses particules (cheveux,

poils, etc.). Les particules de plus petite taille (fumée, poussière,

pollen, etc.) traversent les préfiltres et pénètrent dans l’étage

d’ionisation (B). À ce stade, chaque minuscule particule reçoit une

charge électrique positive. Ces particulies ionisées pénètrent alors

dans l’étage collecteur (C). Celui-ci est constitué d’une série de

plaques d’aluminium dotées en alternance d’une charge positive ou

négative.

Les particules, dotées d’une charge positive, sont alors repoussée par

les plaques positives et attirées par les plaques négatives, où elles

s’accumulent, comme la limaille de fer sur un aimant.

L’air filtré regagne enfin le réseau d’alimentation.

La poussière blanche (les peluches)La poussière blanche (les peluches)

La poussière blanche (les peluches)

Le filtre à air électronique est conçu pour capter principalement deux

sortes de contaminants : ➀les rritants (pollen, spores, moisissures,

bactéries, etc.) ; et ➁les conaminants salissants (particules de saleté

et de fumée).

Les résidus qui s’accumulent sur les plaques d’un filtre à air électronique

sont noirs ; toute cette saleté est retirée de l’air ambiant. Après

l’installation du filtre à air, il est possible que vous remarquiez une

poussière blanche (en règle générale, de longues particules de

peluches ou de fibres, provenant de moquettes, de tissus de coton et

de rideaux). Ces substances ne sont pas captées par le filtre à air, soit

parce qu’elles ne contiennent pas les irritants et les contaminants

mentionnés plus haut, soit parce qu’elles se sont déposées avant

d’avoir pu atteindre le filtre. La présence de poussière blanche ne

signifie pas qu’il est temps de faire réviser le filtre à air.

Les filtres à charbon actifLes filtres à charbon actif

Les filtres à charbon actif

Les odeurs sont causées par des molécules de gaz et non par des

particules. Ainsi, il est impossible de les éliminer à l’aide d’un filtre à

air électronique ou de tout autre milieu filtrant conçu pour capter les

particules en suspension dans l’air. Or, il est possible d’adsorber

certains gaz à l’aide d’un filtre à charbon actif ou de les diluer par un

apport d’air frais en provenance de l’extérieur. Si des odeurs sont

présentes, comme les odeurs de cuisson, d’animaux de compagnie,

de cigare ou de cigarette, etc., l’ajout d’un filtre à charbon actif les

neutralisera. On peut se procurer des filtres à charbon facultatifs pour

usage avec le filtre à air électronique ; pour en connaître le numéro de

pièce, se reporter à la liste de pièces correspondant au filtre à air

installé. Les filtres à charbon doivent être remplacés régulièrement ;

ils ne peuvent être lavés. Il n’existe aucune règle générale quant à la

fréquence de leur changement ; nous recommandons seulement de

faire appel à votre jugement en fonction des odeurs perçues dans le

foyer.

l’intérieur. Pour l’installation d’un ensemble de mise à niveau du filtre

à air, se reporter à la page 13.

Si l’ouverture de l’appareil de chauffage ne peut pas être agrandie

suffisamment, on doit alors installer une section de transition en tôle.

La transition doit être adaptée à chaque installation. Le facteur de

réduction ne doit pas dépasser 28 cm au mètre (ou 4 po au pied

linéaire), soit une pente d’environ 20 degrés (figure 3).

DANS LE FILTRE

Sur livraison, le filtre à air est agencé pour que l’air circule de gauche

à droite. Si cela convient à l’installation, aucune modification n’est

requise (figure 4). Pour permettre que l’air circule de droite à gauche,

retirer les préfiltres et les cellules. Les retourner en gardant la même

extrémité orientée vers le boîtier. Cela placera les fils ionisants à

droite ; de plus, les deux boutons de contact ainsi que les poignées

seront maintenant orientés vers le capot du module d’alimentation.

L’air doit traverser le filtre dans le sens indiqué par les flèches qui sont

estampées sur l’extrémité des cellules

Une fois les cellules installées, glisser les préfiltres dans les rainures

sur le côté droit du boîtier. Ceux-ci se trouveront alors du côté de

l’appareil où l’air entre (soit du même côté que les fils ionisants).
