INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! We are proud that you have selected a SANTEK Electronic Air Cleaner to become an integral part
of your breathing atmosphere.
Electronically cleaned air, free of dust, dirt, soot, smoke, bacteria, pollen, and other irritating airborne pollution, pro-
vides you, your clients, and your employees greater personal comfort...a dividend that cannot be measured in dollars.
Your SANTEK Electronic Air Cleaner is an advanced design electronic instrument built to give years of the finest ser-
vice, providing Operating Instructions are carefully followed.
CAUTIONS
1. SANTEK Air Cleaners, like most appliances are not designed to be explosion proof. It should not be used in an
atmosphere containing explosive dust or gases.
2. Connect the electrical cord to a grounded power source only after the unit is mounted to avoid electrical shock and
equipment damage.
3. Make sure the unit is installed securely using the Installation Instructions to avoid damage and injury from falling
equipment.
4. Access doors and panels are connected to a safety switch that disconnects electrical power when
the door or panel is opened.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to override this switch. Electrical shock may result.
5. Always turn Power Switch to the "Off" position prior to cleaning or servicing.
6. Never stick objects through inlet or discharge grilles. This can result in personal injury and equipment damage.
7. All wiring of electrical outlets to service power cords must comply with applicable codes and ordinances.
MOUNTING LOCATION
Only air entering Air Cleaner will be cleaned, so place the unit where it will create free air movement around the room
and recirculate the air back into the unit. See Installation Instructions for proper mounting location.
OPERATION
Power to blowers and electronic collecting cell is controlled by the Fan Speed Switch. Turn the switch from "Off" to
the desired fan speed. Occasional arcing "snapping" or "popping" sound caused by a larger-than-normal particle is
normal. If the arcing does not stop, turn the Fan Speed Switch to "Off" and call Tjernlund Products, Inc. at
1-800-255-4208.
FRESH AIR IS NECESSARY
Lack of adequate fresh, outside air can cause problems in any building. According to the American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), fresh air requirements for commercial establish-
ments should be a minimum of 7.5 CFM per person when using electronic air cleaners. This can be done either
through the blower of the heating/air conditioning system or through a timer for economical operation. See
Installation Manual for complete information.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
An electronic air cleaner will keep removing airborne particles efficiently provided its filter components are maintained
on a regular basis.
ELECTRONIC COLLECTING CELL
It is necessary to remove and wash an electronic collecting cell about every 1 to 5 weeks depending on the air pollu-
tion density. If a particularely "smokey", "sticky" or "greasy" atmosphere is present, for example, wash it more frequently.
