INSTALLATION AND CHECKOUT

When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them
could damage the media air filter or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
media air cleaner to make sure the product is suitable
for your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
Remove Furnace Filter And Clean Blower
Compartment
Before starting the installation, remove and discard the
existing furnace filter (if used). Thoroughly clean the blower
compartment. If possible, power vacuum the ductwork to
remove accumulated dust in an occupied home or remove
construction dirt in a new home. The media air cleaner cannot
remove dirt that has settled in the blower compartment and
distribution ducts.
Install The Cabinet
The following procedure describes a typical side installation
on an existing highboy furnace. Alternate procedures are
noted as appropriate. Other changes in installation
procedures may be necessary to complete your installation.
Review The Installation Plan
Temporarily place the cabinet on the floor, oriented as it will
be when installed. Insert and remove the cartridge to make
sure the plan allows adequate clearance for easy removal
and replacement of the cartridge.
Make sure that shop-fabricated sheetmetal components, such
as turning vanes, are available.
Fasten The Cabinet To The Furnace
Align the cabinet with the return air opening. Place blocks
under the cabinet, as necessary, to make sure the unit sits
securely. Create an opening in the furnace to match the
cabinet opening. Attach the cabinet securely to the furnace.
Attach the unit directly or fit a starting collar in the furnace
opening. Either drill holes and fasten with sheetmetal screws
or rivets, or use slip joints. If you are drilling holes, use a
locking pliers to help hold the unit in place during drilling.
Install Turning Vanes
Install turning vanes to help distribute air equally over the full
surface of the upstream side of the media. Install them
whenever an abrupt 90 degree elbow is installed directly
against the media air cleaner cabinet.

Fasten Cabinet To Ductwork
Fasten side of cabinet to the ductwork using sheet-metal
screws, rivets, or slip joints, as appropriate.
Connect Ductwork
Connect the vertical duct section to the elbow. If the vertical
drop of the duct is less than 7 in. (178 mm) from the side of
the furnace, shorten the horizontal trunk or attach an offset
fitting to the elbow. See Fig. 12. When ductwork is properly
aligned, connect the vertical duct to the horizontal trunk.
Seal Joints
Seal all joints in the return air system between the media air
filter and the furnace to prevent dust from entering the clean
airstream.
Install Filter Cartridge
Slide the filter cartridge into the cabinet, making sure the
arrow on the cartridge points in the direction of air flow.
Replace access door. Insert the tab on the bottom of the door
into the slot in the cabinet. Swing the door closed and press it
into place.
Install W8600A AIRWATCH™ Indicator
(Included with some models)
Mount the W8600A next to the thermostat or any other
convenient location in the living area of the home. The device
is battery-operated so has no electrical requirements.
Remove the device from the base and mark the mounting
holes, using the base as a template. Drill the holes. Position
the base over the holes and install the mounting screws
provided. Tighten the screws until the base is mounted firmly
on the wall. Replace the device onto the base.
Set the DIP switches on the back of the W8600A according to
the equipment installed in the home. Use the default settings
when all devices (air cleaner, UV air treatment system, and
humidifier) are installed. Or move the DIP switch to off (left)
when a device is not installed.
NOTE: The UV air treatment system and the humidifier
settings are set for one year. The air cleaner settings
are selectable according to homeowner activities
and schedule.
Set the air cleaner filter time DIP switches for 3, 6, 9 or 12
months according to the information on the back of the
device. Leave the factory default DIP switch settings to
change the filter every three months. If no air cleaner filter is
installed, move DIP switch 4 and 5 settings to off (left).
