    INTRODUCTION
    The AIRA is a duct mounted electronic air cleaner available in
    1400 and 2000 CFM models. (See Fig. 1.)
    Designed to remove airborne particles down to 0.01 microns in
    size, the AIRA effectively removes such particles as dust, dirt,
    smoke, pollen, virus, spores, bacteria, and mold from indoor air.
    Air movement through unit is provided by heating, air condition-
    ing, or ventilating system blower. As dirty air enters air cleaner, air
    passes through a metal mesh prefilter. (See Fig. 2.) Prefilters
    prevents lint, pet hair, and other large particles from entering air
    cleaner by impingement. It is important that these filters be in
    place to prevent excessive dirt loading of air cleaner collector cells.
    These filters extend time between maintenance of air cleaner
    collector cells. This allows the collector cells to provide clean air
    for a longer period between washing.

    							Prefiltered air then passes through a 2-stage electric cleaner. In the
    first stage, all airborne particles, even submicron size, are electri-
    cally charged (positive) as they pass through the ionizer. The
    ionizer field is setup by a corona discharge emanating from fine,
    tightly strung wires suspended between 2 adjacent flat plates. In
    the second stage, charged particles pass into an intense electrical
    field established between alternately charged and grounded paral-
    lel plates. Here positively charged particles are attracted to ground
    plates and are deposited out of the air stream.
    Air Cleaner Construction
    The air cleaner is easy to install, operate, and maintain. Its basic
    components are:
    1. CABINET Ð mounts to existing ductwork; houses the col-
    lecting cells and prefilters.
    2. COLLECTING CELLS Ð collect dust, dirt, and other par-
    ticles in the air. They contain ionizing and collecting sections
    as described above. Cells must be installed with ionizing wires
    on air intake side. A spring contact is located on top of each
    cell and must be in position to make contact with contact
    board assemblies on bottom of power supply. (See Fig. 3.)
    3. PREFILTERS Ð trap large particles before they enter collec-
    tor cells.
    4. POWER SUPPLY ASSEMBLY Ð contains indicating lights,
    solid state power supply, contact boards, and electrical con-
    trols including ON/OFF switch and safety interlock switch. It
    also includes a wiring compartment located at rear of the
    power supply assembly.
    PLANNING AN INSTALLATION
    Step 1ÐApplication
    This air cleaner is intended to be used in return-air duct of a forced
    air heating, cooling, and ventilating system.The air cleaner should be installed in system so that all system air
    is circulated through the air cleaner. The air cleaner will only
    remove airborne contaminants delivered to it. Maximum perfor-
    mance is obtained when system blower is set for continuous
    operation.
    Never use air cleaner to collect grease or other flammable
    contaminants.
    Step 2ÐInstallation Requirements
    The required location for the air cleaner is in the return-air next to
    the blower compartment. In this location, the blower motor and
    cooling coils will be kept clean.
    Do not install the air cleaner in the discharge duct.
    Before installing the air cleaner consider the application. (See Fig.
    9 to 14.) If a transition is required refer to section entitled
    Transitions. The unit must be readily accessible for periodic
    inspection and cleaning of prefilters and electronic cells to
    maintain maximum efficiency and trouble-free operation.
    Step 3ÐAir Conditioning
    The air cleaner should be installed upstream of cooling coil. This
    will keep coil clean and reduce air conditioning coil maintenance.
    Improved cooling efficiency is the result which directly affects
    energy costs. If air cleaner is downstream of cooling coil,
    condensation will form on cooled collector plates when air
    conditioner cycles. This will allow water droplets to form on
    collector plates and cause nuisance arcing. Arcing will reduce air
    cleaner efficiency and reduce life of high-voltage power supply.

    							Step 4ÐHumidifiers
    An evaporative humidifier can be mounted upstream of air cleaner.
    It is best to install atomizing humidifier downstream of air cleaner
    because hard water salt deposits and water droplets may damage
    air cleaner. If an atomizing humidifier must be mounted upstream
    of air cleaner:
    1. Mount it as far upstream as possible. (Recommend at least 6
    ft.)
    2. Install standard disposable furnace filter between humidifier
    and air cleaner to trap water droplets and hard water salts.
    Select location that is accessible for inspection and replace-
    ment.
    3. Clean air cleaner more frequently to prevent hard water salt
    buildup.
    Step 5ÐOutdoor Air
    When outdoor air is added to return air duct, sufficient heat should
    be added to maintain return air temperature at 40ÉF (4ÉC)
    minimum. Lower temperatures can cause ionizer wire failure.
    Step 6ÐSheet Metal Installation
    The electronic air cleaner is adaptable to all new and existing
    residential forced-air furnace and cooling systems.
    Step 7ÐTransitions
    If air duct does not fit air cleaner cabinet opening, gradual
    transitions are recommended to reduce air turbulence through air
    cleaner and maximize efficiency. Not more than 20É (about 4 in.
    per running ft) of expansion should be used on each side of
    transition fitting. (See Fig. 4.)
    Step 8ÐTurning Vanes
    If air cleaner is installed adjacent to a 90É duct elbow, add turning
    vanes inside duct to improve air distribution across face of air
    cleaner. (See Fig. 5.)
    Step 9ÐSelect Location
    Remember to select a location that is readily accessible for
    periodic inspection and cleaning. Allow a minimum of 18-in.
    clearance in front of access panel and 12-in. clearance above
    power rack cover plate for component removal and service space.
    For complete dimensions required refer to Fig. 6.Step 10ÐDirection of Airflow Through Air Cleaner
    NOTE:Air cleaner is set up for left-to-right airflow when facing
    access door. For right-to-left airflow remove prefilters and cells
    from cabinet.
    1. A plastic positioning spacer is located inside bottom of cabinet
    and secured to cabinet using No. 6-32 round head Phillips
    drive thread cutting screw (See Fig. 7.) to index installation of
    cells in proper position with respect to airflow.
    2. Remove screw and reposition spacer in alternate hole at
    bottom of cabinet.
    3. Replace screw to insure plastic spacer is not accidentally
    knocked out of place during normal maintenance. It must be
    installed in hole provided closest to air leaving side of cabinet.
    4. Seal unused hole with duct tape.
    5. Turn cells around, replace in cabinet, and replace prefilters on
    air entering side.Directional arrows on cell end plates must
    point in direction of airflow.
    Only a trained, experienced service person should install this
    electronic air cleaner. The power supply should be removed
    before installation. To remove the power supply, remove the
    2 screws (See Fig. 8.) in the top front of the cabinet.
    Remember to keep this hardware for reinstallation of the
    power supply when the air cleaner installation is complete. A
    thorough check of the unit installation should be completed
    before unit operation.
    INSTALLATION
    Step 1ÐOrientation
    Air cleaner can be in any position, except with access door facing
    down. See Fig. 9-14 for proper air cleaner mounting with variety
    of furnace installations.

    							Cabinets will support a maximum weight of 400 lb when
    installed beneath a vertical furnace or air-handling unit. When
    setting furnace on cabinet, do not drop it into place. Position
    furnace correctly on cabinet to prevent a corner from slipping
    down and damaging cabinet.
    Prior to installing this product:
    1. Read rules and instructions carefully for safe operation.
    Failure to follow them could damage product or cause
    hazardous condition.
    2. Check ratings given on product to make sure it is suitable for
    your application.
    Step 2ÐDetails
    1. Remove existing furnace filter and discard.
    2. Air cleaner cannot remove existing dirt from blower and
    ducts. Clean area thoroughly before you begin.
    3. Remove unit access panel, and slide prefilters and ionizing-
    collecting cells out of cabinet. Place them safely aside with
    warranty registration card. Remove any cardboard pieces
    before proceeding.
    NOTE:The following is a typical installation of an air cleaner on
    an upflow furnace. (See Fig. 8 and 11.) You may have to alter the
    installation to fit your application.
    4. Locate cabinet in cold air return duct so that all of return air
    flows through unit. (See Fig. 8.) If furnace and air cleaner
    openings are different, use a transition. (See Fig. 4.)
    5. Mounting holes are provided for duct work attachment. (See
    Fig. 8.) The 0.140-in. holes are sized for No. 8 sheet metal
    screws, or 1/8-in. rivets. If adjoining ductwork is flanged,
    install screws so that screw heads are inside cabinet. This willprevent damage to prefilters and optional charcoal after-filter
    during removal and installation after cleaning.
    6. After unit has been secured, seal seams air tight with duct tape
    or caulking.
    In applications with minimum airflow, it is helpful to seal any
    openings on power pack assembly or cabinet.
    7. Refer to Direction of Airflow.
    8. Re-install power supply on top of cabinet.
    9. Install prefilters and ionizer-collector cells.
    10. Re-install cabinet front panel door assembly.
    Step 3ÐTypical Mounting Positions
    Air cleaner can be mounted in any position, except with the access
    door facing down.
    Seal all joints in return air system with duct tape between furnace
    and air cleaner to prevent dust from entering clean airstream and to
    assure proper operation of electronic airflow sensor.
    Step 4ÐElectrical Installation
    All wiring must comply with applicable local and national codes.
    Be sure all incoming power is OFF before beginning any
    procedures.
    The following instructions are for use by qualified personnel
    only.

    							The following procedures will expose electrical components.
    Disconnect power between checks and proceed carefully.
    Electrical shock can cause injury or death.
    The air cleaner is powered by providing 120v, 60 Hz, 1-phase
    electrical service to pigtail leads at field wiring compartment (with
    knock-out holes) located at rear of power pack assembly. (See Fig.
    15.)
    1. Turn air cleaner off using ON/OFF rocker switch located on
    front panel.
    2. Remove power supply cover plate by removing front door and
    2 screws holding assembly to top of air cleaner. (See Fig. 8.)
    3. Make wiring connections inside junction box area (field
    wiring compartment). Remove knock-out and use conduit or
    other approved methods to supply input power. Connect
    ground wire to clip.
    4. Replace power supply cover plate and secure with screws
    removed from step 2.
    5. Replace door on front of air cleaner.
    6. Air cleaner will operate when door is in place, ON/OFF rocker
    switch is in ON position, and input voltage is present in
    junction box. The following should be completed to supply
    input power to air cleaner.
    Step 5ÐFurnace Application
    It is recommended to use EAC-1 and EAC-2 terminals when
    provided by furnace circuit board. These outputs will provide 120
    VAC whenever blower motor is energized.Furnace circuit boards without EAC-1 and EAC-2 terminals must
    use alternate methods to supply 120 VAC to air cleaner (via sail
    switch, isolation relay, or optional electronic airflow sensor). Air
    cleaner should only operate when blower motor is running.This unit cannot be powered directly from blower motor
    leads. Voltages can exceed 190 VAC (120-v motors). This
    can double with 240-v fan coil motor.
    Step 6ÐFan Coil Application
    If EAC-1 and EAC-2 terminals are provided by fan coil circuit
    board, refer to fan coil data to determine voltage output. Most fan
    coils do not provide 120v at these terminals. Alternate methods
    may be needed to convert fan coil supply voltage to 120 VAC
    input for air cleaner. A 240-VAC to 120-VAC step-down trans-
    former (40 VA) will be needed in most application. Sail switch,
    isolation relay, or optional electronic airflow sensor may also be
    applied when needed.
    Do not wire directly to multiple speed blower motor. Wiring
    to multiple speed blower will damage power supply and void
    warranty.
    SYSTEM CHECKOUT
    ADJUST THERMOSTAT SO THAT SYSTEM BLOWER IS
    OFF. After installing unit, switch ON/OFF rocker switch to
    ON position.A bright red segment of rocker switch should be
    visible.
    Adjust thermostat so system blower is ON.

    							1. Both input indicating light (green) and output voltage light
    (red) should now be on.
    2. Check to assure that both lights go out when the cell access
    panel is removed, when rocker switch is switched to OFF
    position, and when system blower is not running.
    MAINTENANCE
    Sharp edges. Handle the cells carefully to avoid cuts from the
    sharp metal edges.
    Step 1ÐWashing Cells and Prefilters
    Regular washing is necessary to insure proper performance. A
    thorough washing every 2 months will be adequate for most
    installations. More frequent washing (once a month) may be
    necessary on some installations (new homes for example) where
    there is new carpet, plaster dust, or there is above normal cigarette
    smoke. (See Fig. 16.)
    1. Remove cells and prefilters.
    a. Push air cleaner ON/OFF rocker switch to OFF. Wait 15
    sec. Open access door.
    b. Carefully remove cells and prefilters, and set aside.
    c. Avoid damage to cell plates and ionizing wires.
    2. Wash in tub.
    a. Place enough hot water in utility tub to cover cell.
    Electronic Air Cleaner concentrate solution (Part No.
    P902-2001) is recommended. (Solution is available from
    your dealer through the Replacement Components Divi-
    sion.) As an alternative, 2 to 4 oz of automatic dishwasher
    detergent (not laundry detergent) can be used.
    b. Allow cell to soak for 30 minutes. Agitate cell up and down
    in solution until it appears clean, then remove.
    c. Repeat with second cell.
    d. Agitate prefilters up and down in solution until they appear
    clean.e. With hose, rinse cells and prefilters. Hose should be held
    about 10 in. from cell plates and at slight angle for better
    cleaning results. Cell frame should be thoroughly rinsed
    along edges to dislodge any trapped lint or dirt. Carefully
    wipe damp cloth or sandpaper (not emery cloth) along
    ionizing wires.
    f. Stand cells and prefilters up to drain. Let dry 2 hr.
    NOTE:We do not recommend washing electronic air cleaner
    cells in the dishwasher.
    Not only can collector plates and ionizing wires be easily dam-
    aged, but dirt from cells and prefilters can permanently stain
    plastic dishwasher linings.
    3. Replace cell and prefilters.
    a. Replace prefilters and cells in cabinet. Check that arrow on
    cells points in same direction as air flows through duct. (If
    you have to force it past the positioning screw on bottom,
    it is probably in a wrong position.)
    b. Reposition access door (engage tips on lower edge of door
    into slots in cabinet). Carefully close door.
    c. Turn air cleaner switch to ON.
    TROUBLESHOOTING
    Procedures in this section should be performed only by
    qualified service personnel.
    The following procedures will expose energized electrical
    components. Disconnect power between checks and proceed
    carefully. Electrical shock can cause injury or death.
    Step 1ÐRecommended Service Tools
    · Screwdriver, 8-in. common with insulated handle (plastic).
    · Screwdrivers Phillips No. 1 and 2 with plastic insulated
    handles.
    · Needle-nose pliers

    							· Fluke No. 8021B multimeter or equivalent
    · Fluke No. 80K-40 high-voltage probe or equivalent.
    Step 2ÐIndication of Electrical Trouble
    Air cleaner is equipped with input power LED light (green) and
    output voltage LED light (red) for indicating proper unit operation.
    When unit is in normal operation, system blower running, access
    door in place, control switch in the ON position, and indicating
    lights go out, there is an electrical problem.
    If green light goes out there is a problem in the primary circuit. If
    red light goes out the problem is a shorted secondary. Although
    failure of indicating lights should not be overlooked, this condition
    is unusual and rather remote.
    Step 3ÐElectrical Troubles and Their Conditions
    Exercise the usual precautions when working with high
    voltage.
    When the circuit has been de-energized, always discharge any
    residual current in the secondary with an insulated handle
    screwdriver. Electrical shock can cause injury or death.
    Always ground power supply and ionizing-collecting cell
    when bench testing. Electrical shock can cause injury or
    death.
    PRIMARY CIRCUIT
    Normal operation Ð For normal operation of electronic air
    cleaner, system blower should be running and air cleaner switch
    should be ON.
    If there is supply line voltage at the service connections and no
    input voltage to power supply (green light out), outage can be
    located by checking operation of safety switch and interconnecting
    wiring with multimeter. Refer to Circuit Diagram, Fig. 17 to check
    operation of switches.
    Follow these steps:
    1. Assure that circuit breaker controlling air cleaner is in ON
    position. Main fuse not open.
    2. Set multimeter for reading AC voltage at a 200-v full scale for
    120-v units.
    3. Connect 1 lead of multimeter to load side of interlock switch.
    Connect other lead to common (white) lead at a convenient
    place in power supply assembly. Depress switch and measure
    voltage. If there is no voltage reading, switch is defective and
    should be replaced.
    4. With white lead still connected as in step 3, connect multim-
    eter test lead to loadside of the ON/OFF switch. ON/OFF
    switch shall be in ON position. Actuate interlock switch and
    measure voltage. If there is no voltage reading, ON/OFF
    switch is defective and should be replaced.
    SECONDARY CIRCUIT
    1. Ionizing-Collecting Cell
    Cell is electrically energized through a contact terminal
    located at top center of cell. Ionizing wires and every other
    collector plate are electrically charged while each interleaving
    plate is grounded.

    							If space between charged and grounded plates is bridged with
    conductive or semi-conductive material, a short circuit devel-
    ops. The bridging or short may be caused by damaged plates
    or foreign material lodged between or on plates.
    Since cell is periodically removed from unit to wash away
    collected dirt, it is susceptible to physical damage. Also, cell
    contains ionizing wires which, due to their function, have to be
    designed with minimal structural support and are susceptible
    to breakage. However, trouble related to a shorted collector
    cell is readily shown by output indicating light and can be
    quickly isolated by a simple procedure.
    To determine if a short exists in 1 or both of the collector cells,
    turn electronic air cleaner OFF and remove both electronic
    cells from cabinet. Close door and re-power unit. If red
    performance light comes on, an electrical short exists in 1 or
    both of the electronic cells. Replace cells in unit, 1 at a time,
    to determine which cell is shorted.
    Most troubles in the cell can be visually detected and
    corrected. (See Table 2.)
    NOTE:Ionizer collector cells are not designed for field repair.
    Ionizing wires and insulators can be field replaced. It is not
    recommended to attempt to replace other cell components, such as
    collector plates, end plates, ionizer supports.
    2. Ionizing Wire Replacement
    Ionizing wire breakage is minimal because of the constant
    tension design and fixed location of ionizing wire supports. If
    necessary to replace a broken wire follow these instructions.Wires are supplied in coiled spring configuration, with clinch
    nut on each end of wire.
    Wire replacement requires pair of needle-nose pliers. Exercise
    caution in removing any broken wires in collector cell. This
    will prevent accidental shorting of cell and reduce need for
    further maintenance.
    Use the following procedure when replacing ionizing wire.
    Handle with care as parts are sharp.
    a. Carefully remove all remains of broken wire.
    b. Grip new wire at each end with your thumb and index
    finger. While stretching wire to approximately 6 in. allow
    1 end of wire to uncoil between your thumb and index
    finger.
    c. Place 1 end of wire in slot in stainless steel support on
    collector cell from front of cell. This support is partially
    covered by cell brace in front of support.
    d. Grip other end of ionizing wire with needle-nose pliers and
    insert terminated end of wire into slot of support bar of
    opposite end of collector cell.
    e. Wire should be tight enough to be self supporting and
    remain suspended between 2 support slots in support bar.
