INSTRUCTIONS
IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT
OR TO INSTALLER AND PROPERTY COULD RE-SULT IF INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
Important Safety Precautions
1.
Do not connect the power source until after the unit is mounted. Shock and/or damage
could
result.
2.
Be sure to shut the unit off prior to any service work.
3.
Wear gloves to protect hands during installation as well as to keep the surface of air
cleaner
free from dirt and smudges.
Equipment Needed for Installation
1.
Regular and Phillips Screwdrivers
2.
Wire cutters
3.
Pliers
4.
Twelve gauge galvanized wire for hanging the wires from the true ceiling to the top
of
the unit (if threaded rod is to be
used, it will replace the wire.).
5.
Enough twelve or fourteen gauge electrical wire and conduit to reach the nearest
switched circuit. (see Electrical
Instructions)
6.
Junction box fittings as required.
Items Supplied as Loose Parts
1. Four (4) black 1/4 x 20 eyebolts
Unpacking
1.
Remove unit from carton and turn over so that grille surfaces are accessible.
2.
Remove pre filter and collection cell or HEPA pad from unit through intake side of
cleaner. This is accomplished by
turning the access screws and lifting the hinged
opening. The electronic filter cell is attached by a black grid cap
connector on the
side
of the cell.
3.
After removing the items in the previous step, close and lock the hinged intake
panel.
Preparation for Mounting
The LAFC and HEPA LAFC are designed to fit into a T-bar drop ceiling. Remove as
many of the 2 x 4 ceiling tiles as is necessary to safely and securely mount the air cleaner. The
area between the true ceiling and the drop ceiling must be at least 11”. There must be no duct
work, pipes, or other obstructions to the area where the unit is to fit. Make sure that the spot
chosen will be oriented for good air circulation. The exit grille can be adjusted for different airflow
patterns by turning the individual vanes.
Mounting
1.
Attach four (4) 12 gauge galvanized steel support wires to the true ceiling. Twist
each wire at least four times to provide for safe support for the air cleaner. Make
sure the free end of the wire extends far enough to adequately reach the eye
bolts and
be attached to them.
2.
Turn the air cleaner onto the grille portion so that the four holes are visible on the
top portion of the unit. Attach the four eyebolts to the top by screwing them into the
appropriate
holes.
3.
Lift the air cleaner into place and rest on the T-Bar opening without putting weight upon the
T-
Bar
grid work. The weight should be borne by the support wires with the T-Bar acting as
holding
receptacle for the unit facing.
You should check
the level of the unit
to insure
proper operation.
