Recommended Maintenance Procedures:
■
Visually check the performance of the system by
checking the blue light on the unit. If not, proceed to the
troubleshooting section for repair. Maintain a physical
distance between all personnel and the tubes while
system is operating or turned on.
■
Optional:
Check performance using a high voltage
probe paired with a multimeter (minimum of 5000 V
probe). Contact AtmosAir for additional minimum probe
specifications. Follow proper safety procedures for
dealing with high voltages. If you are uncertain, do NOT
perform any maintenance with the power on and proceed
to the next step.
■
Disconnect the system from the main power before
performing any maintenance steps.
■
Inspect the unit box, plastic tube caps, and tube-
mounting area. Remove particles from mounting area,
and thoroughly wipe clean any tracks or grooves that may
have developed in the plate or caps.
■ Inspect connections: tightness of all nuts and screws;
remove deposits on the connections using wire brush or
similar tool - it may be necessary to remove the tubes for
this step.
■ It may be beneficial to clean the tubes to improve
performance. The tubes can be cleaned using an air
compressor for a quick clean, or more thoroughly with
cleaning solutions. Do not immerse the tubes in water.
Ensure that the tubes and mesh are completely dry
before re-installing.

OPERATION
Once the system is properly installed and all personnel are
clear of the high voltage tubes, the system can be turned on:
1.
Ensure the ionization power knob is turned to the
appropriate quadrant: from low to high clockwise.
Typically, it is suggested to start at a baseline of 50%
ionization. Twenty-four hours later, re-evaluate your air
quality and adjust accordingly.
2.
Plug the power cord on the FC-400 ionization system into
the plug receptacle.
3.
Once the FC-400 system is plugged in the system will be
on. Check that the blue embedded LED light is lit. The LED
is programmed to indicate that the system is on, ionization
has been activated, and high voltage is being sent to the
tube.
4.
Settings are determined upon commissioning and
installation with the Criteria below:
5.
The system is intended to deliver ions into the treated area
such that the ion levels should be between 350 and 1500
negative ions/cm3. The desired ion increase is dependent
on many factors, including space, use, contaminant level,
humidity RH, and distribution effectiveness. An authorized
AtmosAir design consultant should recommend the
desired ion increase and appropriate system layout.

MAINTENANCE
REQUIREMENTS
Caution!
A non-functioning LED light may improperly indicate that the system
is not functioning. Be sure to disconnect from the main power before
performing maintenance or troubleshooting the system.
The maintenance requirements on an AtmosAir system are
mainly site-dependent; a heavily contaminated environment
may require more frequent inspection and maintenance.
Annual system maintenance is recommended. A bi annual
tube replacement is required. Your local AtmosAir dealer can
provide you with an annual service contract.
Tube Replacements:
Bi-annual tube inspections are recommended, in addition to
tube replacements once every two years as the production
efficiency slowly declines over time due to the stress caused
by plasma and (lack of) cleanliness of the electrodes. Old
or excessively dirty tubes can also put undue stress on the
transformer causing premature failure.
