2. Installation
1.
Carefully remove the equipment from its shipping container. Inspect the main components, gasket, and tube
for damage. Verify that the unit’s voltage rating is the same as the available voltage, 120 VAC 50/60Hz.
2.
Install the ionization tube: Gently pull the conductor strap back to allow the tube to turn freely; screw the end
screw of the tube into the tube-holder hand-tight. Ensure that the tube is
FULLY SEATED
.
3.
Once the tube is secure, return the conductor strap to its normal position and ensure solid, flat and continuous
contact is made with the tube’s outer mesh (See Fig. 5a below).
4.
Location and Orientation: Install the unit downstream of filters, coils, and fans with tubes perpendicular to
airflow whenever possible. Contact AtmosAir Engineering for Installations outside this scope.
5.
For in-duct installation: Verify the flange gasket is in place and in good shape to ensure the unit seals properly.
Make a 2.5” (6.35cm) Diameter hole in the duct that the FC-400FM tube will fit into (See Fig. 1.2c). Use template
AtmosAir FC-400 series equipment can be mounted on a duct FC-400 FM using the faceplate
mounting flange and its weather-strip gasket. The units operate best when located after all filters, coils,
and fans. Various mounting arrangements are possible; however, the available options may be limited
due to size and configuration restrictions. When mounted on the side of a duct, the enclosure should
not be exposed to direct sunlight or moisture. If installing outside, a weatherproof NEMA-4 enclosure
with an access panel for servicing should be installed over the AtmosAir equipment. The AtmosAir FC-
400 FM operates on 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The tube and electrode contacts should not come into contact
with any conductive surface. A minimum 1.5” (3.8cm) clearance around the tube is recommended.
2.1 Mechanical Installation
THE SECONDARY VOLTAGE TO THE IONIZATION TUBE CAN BE AS HIGH AS
2500 VOLTS AC. DO NOT CONNECT TO POWER BEFORE THE INSTALLATION IS
COMPLETE AND ALL PERSONNEL ARE AWARE OF IMMINENT OPERATION. ALWAYS
DISCONNECT POWER TO THE UNIT BEFORE HANDLING ANY OF THE COMPONENTS.
