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.
Install battery in door. 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 RF AIRWATCH® Indicator
The AIRWATCH® Indicator provides a signal when the F200
filter needs replacing. When the filter begins restricting airflow
because of accumulated dirt, pressure sensors in the F200
initiate a radio frequency signal to be sent to the AIRWATCH®
Indicator. The AIRWATCH Indicator also has 12-month timers
to indicate when the humidifier pad and the ultraviolet air
treatment lamps need replacing.
Install Battery
1. Remove the AIRWATCH® Indicator from the base:
a. Depress the tab on the bottom edge of the base.
b. Pull off the bottom of the front cover.
2. Install one CR123A Lithium Battery (provided) in the holder
on the back of the unit.
3. Observe that the On/Battery LCD segment comes on.
