Other Duct Mounted Humidifiers
Not recommended for installation with the air cleaner.
DO NOT operate the air cleaner during construction of a home.
The air cleaner is designed for use in normal living conditions
to capture small particles. The volume of dust and condensate
in the presence of chlorides and fluorides from paint, varnish,
stains, adhesives, cleaning compounds, and cement creates a
corrosive condition which may cause rapid deterioration of the
cabinet and internal components of the air cleaner and the
heater/furnace.
WARNING
!
Disconnect ALL power to the indoor air handler, fur-
nace, and air cleaner. NOTE: There may be more than
one electrical disconnect switch. Electric shock can
cause personal injury or death.
For Non-TFE models, skip the section below and go to the
next page.
TFE Models only - Remove Existing Electrical
Hardware:
Identify the existing air cleaner located in the
return air duct of a central forced-air furnace/air
handler. The air cleaner is typically installed as
shown in Figures 2 or 3 on the previous page.
Furnace and Air Handler – (120VAC models) If the
existing air cleaner is an electronic type Perfect Fit
filter (EAC), switch the POWER button to the
"OFF" position. All furnace applications, and some
air handler applications use 120VAC 3 prong power
cord. This should be unplugged from the electrical
outlet.
Air Handler – (240 VAC models) If the EAC is
internally wired into the air handler, the power cord
and polarized connector adapter will need to be
removed from the air handler system.
1.
Disconnect the strain relief connector (see
Figure 4 to the right).
2.
Remove the six pin polarized connector on
the adapter located between the female
polarized connector on the heater and the
male polarized connector from the air handler
control box. See Figure 4 to the right.
3.
Reconnect the female polarized connector on
the heater and the male polarized connector
from the air handler control box.
4.
Disconnect the green ground wire on the plug
adapter from the heater barrier.
5.
Seal the knockout used by the previous
power wires.

Field Upgrade Guide
NOTE: Do NOT use a silicon base sealant. This causes a
coating on the FIELD CHARGER pins that will decrease the
efficiency of the air cleaner.
Note: Dual Circuited Air Handlers matched with heat pumps
will require an accessory Wall Mounted Transformer KIT #
BAYTRANS12024A to power the air cleaner. Do not replace
air handler transformer with the transformer supplied with
the air cleaner.
CAUTION
!
Do not install air cleaner where the filter can be exposed to
UV light. UV light can cause the plastic material to deterio-
rate, which may lead to filter damage.
Strain relief
Disconnect green ground
lead from adapter from the
air handler cabinet ground.
Figure 4. TFE wiring
Disconnect plug from heater. If no
accessory heater was installed,
disconnect this plug from the polorized
connector mounted on the electrical
junction box.
