Locating The Air Cleaner - Aprilaire 5000 Installation Insructions

LOCATING THE AIR CLEANER

The Model 5000 can be installed in a
variety of ways. The figures below show
some of the possibilities.
The air cleaner may be installed on the
left or right side of the air handler. If
installed on the right, the ON/OFF switch
will be on top and the nameplate will be
on the bottom. Remove the nameplate
and rotate it 180° to read properly.

Either of the methods shown in Figures

"footprint", creating better clearance
in tight mounting applications.
* Leave 4-1/2" above LED Base to allow
for installation of Air Cleaner Control.
