1. Open access door.
2. Remove and retain the two screws from the front of the
power box and the two screws from the sides of the
power box. See Fig. 11.
3. In the power box, remove and retain two wire nuts that
connect the line cord leads to the power box wiring.
4. Remove the power cord green lead from the green
grounding screw on the wiring compartment barrier.
5. Remove the power cord and the strain relief.
6. Install the plug (provided with the literature pack) in the
hole left by the power cord.
7. Attach conduit through a power box side knockout.
8. Wire the air cleaner directly to line voltage using wire
nuts. See Fig. 12. Secure ground connection to the

THE AIR CLEANER CAN BE COMPLETELY ISOLATED FROM
THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT OF THE HVAC SYSTEM UNLESS
REQUIRED BY LOCAL CODE TO USE SAME CIRCUIT. ANY
CONVENIENT HOUSE CIRCUIT CAN POWER AIR CLEANER,
REGARDLESS OF ELECTRICAL RATING OF HVAC SYSTEM.

OPERATION

Large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the prefilter. As the
dirty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field
surrounding the ionizer wires, all particles are given an
electrical charge.
The air then moves through the collector part of the cell where
alternate parallel plates are charged positively and negatively,
creating a uniform electrostatic field. The charged particles are
attracted to and collect on the plates that have the opposite
electrical charge.
The air then passes through media postfilters, removing
additional particles from the air stream. The air leaving the air
cleaner has fewer particles. Each time the air circulates
through the electronic air cleaner, more particles are removed.
