INSTALLATION
The Matterhorn 1000/1002 series equipment can be mounted
in-duct, using the faceplate mounting flange and its
weather-strip gasket, or inside a plenum using a semi-custom
mounting bracket. 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. Use the Duct Cut-Out
and Quick-Change Plate Procedure for ideal placement of the
Matterhorn 1000/1002 models.
When mounted on the side of a duct or air handler wall, the
enclosure should not be exposed to moisture. If installing on
outdoor exposed ductwork, a weatherproof enclosure with an
access panel for servicing should be installed over the AtmosAir
equipment. Contact AtmosAir Sales for A.W.E. specifications.
The AtmosAir Matterhorn 1000/1002 series operates on 120 VAC,
50/60 Hz. The tube and electrode contacts should not come into
contact with any conductive surface. A minimum 50.8mm (2”)
clearance around the tube is recommended.
Mechanical Installation
1.
Carefully remove the equipment from its shipping
container. Inspect the main components, gasket, and
tube(s) for damage. Verify that the unit’s voltage rating is
the same as the available voltage, 120 VAC.
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 utilizing
the blue cap,
DO NOT TWIST THE TUBE OR MOVE THE
EMITTER SCREEN. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE TUBE!
Once the tube is secure, return the conductor strap to its
normal position and
ENSURE SOLID, FLAT CONTACT IS
MADE WITH THE TUBE’S OUTER MESH.
3. Location and Orientation:
Install the unit downstream
of filters, coils, and fans with the ionization tubes vertical
whenever possible (When installing a dual F Tube setup,
the tubes
MUST
be mounted vertically, and ‘S’ clips are
recommended); If multiple units are installed in the same
duct, stagger the units in the airflow so they are not in the
same airflow path.
4.
The standard Matterhorn 1000/1002 power cord is 3.05
meters (10’) long. Be sure to consider receptacle location in
your placement plan. The receptacle or junction box must
be within 2.44 meters (8’) of the M 1000/1002.
5. For in-duct installation:
Verify the flange gasket is in
place and not damaged to ensure the unit seals properly.
When making a cut-out in the duct, ensure there is at
least 25.4mm (1”) clearance from the duct wall on all four
sides before cutting the 139.7 mm (5½”) high × 152.4mm
(6”) wide mounting cut-out. A galvanized steel template
is included for ease of installation; use the inner lines to
cut the cut-out hole, then trace the cut-out and mark
the locations of the mounting holes for the Matterhorn
1000/1002 series. The semi-circular cutout in the template
should be oriented upstream if possible.
6.
Using the marked holes from the backer-plate template,
affix the unit securely in the duct using self-tapping
screws (if not using backer-plate). Do not over-tighten,
this may strip the screw hole. The unit is self-sealing to the
duct, so no further sealing is needed.
