FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Congratulations on the purchase of your whole house

air cleaner. As you already know, your air cleaner will

outperform even the best HEPA filter, removing an

unprecedented 99.98% of airborne allergens that pass

through the filter.

Your

whole house air cleaner can be installed either as

part of a Communicating heating and air conditioning

system or as part of a traditional 24 volt system.

When installed as part of a Communicating System in

which the indoor unit (furnace or air handler), outdoor

unit (air conditioner or heat pump), and comfort control

are equipped with our exclusive Communicating

technology, your system performs a continuous

loop of system diagnostics and data output. The

Communicating System monitors itself and quickly

identifies any operational faults, automatically issuing a

service alert.

Your whole house air cleaner can also be installed as

part of a traditional 24 volt heating and air conditioning

system.

Either way the whole house air cleaner is installed as

part of your total comfort system, you and your family

can breathe easier than ever before.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Turn on the air cleaner by pressing and releasing the

POWER button. The backlit POWER and RESET button

will illuminate along with the first green LED indicat-

ing power is present. When the indoor fan is operating

the first green LED will slowly flash. This indicates the

FIELD CHARGER and COLLECTION CELLS have

power and the unit is operating normally. There is a

slight time delay between the indoor fan starting and

LED flashing.

NOTE: There is a 10 [12] minute delay after the indoor

fan operates, before the air cleaner starts to operate,

each time the power to the air cleaner is turned off/on.

Your air filtration system only operates when the air

is circulating through the indoor unit. The air filtration

system is most effective at cleaning the air if the

fan operates continuously. Most thermostats have

a setting that will permit continuous fan operation.

Continuous fan mode during Cooling operation

may not be appropriate in humid climates. If the

indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity or simply

feels uncomfortably humid, it is recommended

that the fan only be used in the AUTO mode.

In normal operation, the whole house air

cleaner may make a slight sound as the air

passes through it and is cleaned. In some

applications, you may notice this sound

coming from the return air vent(s). If desired,

this sound level can be reduced with minimal

impact on air cleaning efficiency by reducing

the power setting of the FIELD CHARGER in

the SET-UP mode (see pages 9-10).

CAUTION

Before cleaning the coil or ducts in the air handler

or furnace, remove the COLLECTION CELLS, FIELD

CHARGER, and PRE-FILTER from the air cleaner.

Chemicals used during the cleaning of the air

handler, furnace, or ductwork can damage the air

cleaner components and degrade the performance

of the air cleaner.

CLEANING

Cleaning Instructions:

The air cleaner utilizes a PRE-FILTER and

COLLECTION CELLS. The purpose of the PRE-FILTER

is to capture large particles before they enter the

COLLECTION CELLS which allows the COLLECTION

CELLS to work more efficiently.

1. Turn the air conditioning system off at the Comfort

Control (thermostat).

WARNING

High Voltage is present within the air cleaner for

operation. Before removing the Power Door, turn

the power off and wait at least 15 seconds to allow

voltage to discharge. Failure to follow instructions

could result in death or serious personal injury.

2. Turn off power to the air cleaner by pushing and

holding the POWER button for three seconds. The

LED’s will remain on until the voltage has dis-

charged and it is safe to remove the door. This

requires approximately 15 seconds. Do not remove

the door until all the lights are off.

3. Disconnect the power/control cable.

4. Pull the door by holding the handles to remove it.

Place the door in a secure location.

5. Remove the PRE-FILTER (Figure 4) and/or the

COLLECTION CELLS (Figure 5) from the air

cleaner.

User’s Information

The air cleaner is factory set to notify the home owner to

clean the PRE-FILTER every two months [10 weeks] of

actual run time of the air cleaner. This notification can

be changed by the installer/home owner to 1 month or

3 months [5 to 15 weeks] depending on the conditions

in the home (pets, smokers, etc.). Please see “SET-UP

MODE” (Page 9) to change the factory settings.

1. Using a vacuum hose, vacuum in even strokes

across the length of the PRE-FILTER. After

vacuuming the entire PRE-FILTER using

even strokes going in one direction, repeat

the process using even strokes going in the

opposite direction as shown in Figure 7.

NOTE: Do NOT replace the plastic PRE-FILTER with

a metal type PRE-FILTER. A metal PRE-FILTER will

cause reduction in efciency and potential failure of

the electronics in the air cleaner.

COLLECTION CELLS

The clean/dirty LED light bar indicator will illuminate as

the system cleans the air. The LED lights will progress

from green to yellow and then to red. When the last red

indicator is flashing, it is time to clean the COLLECTION

CELLS (see Figure 6). The air cleaner is factory set

to notify the home owner to clean the COLLECTION

CELLS every six months [31 weeks] of actual run time

of the air cleaner. This notification can be changed

by the installer/home owner to 2 months, 4 months, 6

months, or 9 months [10, 20, 31 or 46 weeks] depending

on the conditions in the home (pets, smokers, etc.).

Please see “SET-UP MODE” (Page 9) to change the

factory settings.

Fig. 7

VACUUM CLEANING

Vacuuming is the preferred method to clean the PRE-

FILTER and COLLECTION CELLS. It is recommended

that the PRE-FILTER and the COLLECTION CELLS

be vacuumed outside the home to ensure particles on

the filters are not reintroduced into the air. Persons

highly sensitive to the collected particles should wear

appropriate respiratory protection while cleaning.

PRE-FILTER –

It is time to clean the PRE-FILTER when the red “PRE-

FILTER” light (shown in Figure 6) is illuminated.

2. Once vacuuming is completed on one side of the

COLLECTION CELL, turn the COLLECTION CELL

over and repeat on the other side of the COLLEC-

TION CELL.

NOTE: It is normal for COLLECTION CELLS to

discolor during operation. Vacuuming will not

restore the COLLECTION CELLS to their original

color. However, vacuuming does restore the

COLLECTION CELLS to a high efficiency.

REPLACING THE PRE-FILTER AND COLLECTION

CELLS INTO THE AIR CLEANER

1. Replace the PRE-FILTER into the air cleaner.

Ensure that the "AIRFLOW indicator arrow" on the

PREFILTER is pointing in the same direction as the

"AIRFLOW indicator arrow" on the air cleaner cabi-

net.

2. Reinstall the COLLECTION CELLS into the air

cleaner. Ensure the handles on both of the

COLLECTION CELLS are folded flat.

Step 3: Push until you feel the latch locked in.

Carefully review BOTH of the COLLECTION CELLS

for the “200/200-1” mark. If the “200/200-1” mark is

visible on BOTH COLLECTION CELLS, they may be

washed. If the “200/200-1” mark is NOT visible, the

COLLECTION CELLS cannot be washed.

CAUTION

Washing COLLECTION CELLS that do NOT have the

“200/200-1” mark on them can result in degradation

of the air cleaner system. Failure to follow

instructions could result in property damages.

1. If the COLLECTION CELLS do have the “200/200-

1” mark on them, they may be washed using a low

pressure water spray, such as a sink sprayer or gar-

den hose. Residue like tobacco smoke may require

warm water to be removed.

• Do NOT use soap or detergent in cleaning the

COLLECTION CELLS.

• Do NOT immerse the COLLECTION CELLS

completely in water.
