could

 

result.

2.

Be sure to shut the unit off prior to any service work.

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.
