INSTALLATION
AtmosAir FC-400 series equipment are mounted using the baseplate mounting flange. 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, the FC-400 ionization system should not be exposed to condensing moisture or
excessive heat (refer to the Product Submittal for maximum environmental temperature specifications). The AtmosAir FC-400
operates on 100-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The tube and electrode contacts should not come into contact with any conductive surface. A
minimum 38.1mm (1.5”) clearance around the tube is recommended.
Mechanical Installation
1.
Carefully remove the equipment from its shipping container.
Inspect the box, components, and tubes for damage. Verify
that the unit’s voltage rating is the same as the available
voltage, 100-250 VAC 50/60 Hz.
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 page 8.)
!!!WARNING!!!
The secondary voltage to the ionization tubes can be as high as 3000 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.

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.
Mark the drill holes for the self-tapping screws to mount the
FC-400.
6.
Affix the unit securely using self-tapping screws. Do not over-
tighten, this may strip the screw-hole.
7.
Units should be installed to allow easy access for
maintenance. Install units so that the power adjustment
knob, fuse, and status light are easily accessible, variable, and
visible.
