OZONE WARNING
All electronic air cleaners produce a small amount of
ozone. Some individuals are sensitive to ozone and
may notice an odor or may experience a physiological
response (including lung irritation), especially at high
altitudes or low airflow rates. In such cases, there are
two options available to reduce ozone concentrations:
Option 1 — Cut Jumper: A hairpin-shaped jumper wire
labeled W1, which is located in the power supply (see
Figure 24), can be cut and separated. This will reduce
the maximum operating power and reduce the ozone
generated by as much as 15 percent. It will reduce the
air cleaning efficiency by 5 to 10 percent.
Option 2 — Charcoal Filter: Charcoal filters (available
as an accessory item, see page 15) reduce the ozone
output of the electronic air cleaner without sacrificing
cleaning efficiency. In independent laboratory testing, a

Collecting Cells
1. Remove existing door from the media air cleaner
cabinet.
2. Remove existing media cartridge from air cleaner
cabinet.
3. Remove the two pre-filters from the electronic air
cleaner upgrade kit and insert into cabinet tracks
opposite the air handler (see Fig. 25). These will be
used to catch the larger particles that are in the air
stream before entering the collecting cells.
4. Insert the two collecting cells into the cabinet behind
the pre-filters. Be sure ionizing wires are directly
behind the pre-filters so the particles can be charged
as soon as the air leaves the pre-filters.
5. Remove cover plate on the power supply junction box
and remove the knockout needed to bring the wire to
the female receptacle.
6. Position receptacle with ground in the down position
as shown in Fig. 17 and pull wires through the
receptacle locator on the junction box. Snap the
receptacle into the hole until secure. Connect ground
wire from receptacle and ground wire in kit to cabinet
using rivet and washer as follows:
a) Place washer on rivet
b) Place terminal from ground wire on rivet
c)
Place terminal from receptacle ground wire on
rivet
d) Place rivet in hole in junction box and secure to
cabinet.

instructions 7, 8 and 9).
8. Install the power pack (see page 7 instruction 11).

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, per-
sonal injury or loss of life. Installation and service
must be performed by a qualified installer or service
agency.

WARNING
INSTALLATION
Do not operate the blower(s) in the HVAC system
without the door on this unit securely in place. Gas
fumes which could contain carbon monoxide, can be
drawn into the living space resulting in personal
injury or death.

WARNING
new charcoal filter was shown to eliminate nearly all of
the ozone generated by the electronic air cleaner. Over
time, however, the charcoal filter becomes less
effective at eliminating ozone. Charcoal filters should be
replaced approximated every six months. Highly
sensitive individuals may elect to replace their charcoal
filters more frequently.
Refer to the Basic Service Guide on page 10 for
additional items which may reduce ozone.
