filters to remove airborne viral particles, dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, smoke,
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and other airborne particles.

Control VOCs at the
source and use adequate outdoor air ventilation to dilute VOCs. Do not install the
greenfan® bipolar ionizer in buildings with high VOCs. For technical product

2.0 TOOLS FOR INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
a) Wire nuts and self-
tapping screws (1/4” drive or Phillips x ¾” long) are supplied.
b) Screw or nut drivers to remove or install screws.
c) Wire cutter and wire stripper.
d) Multimeter to measure current and or voltage.
e) LED flashlight, vacuum cleaner or compressed air, small brush, or toothbrush.
f) For 120/208/240V installations order greenfan® accessory 120/208/240V to 24VAC
Class 2 transformer Model 1601-01 (UL 5085-3 listed E65390). Class 2 transformers
deliver 100W or less with maximum output voltage of 30VAC or less.
g) For air purifier or ventilation fan installations order greenfan® accessory 120/24VAC
class 2 transformer Model 1602-01 (UL-listed).
3.0 DISCONECT POWER BEFORE INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Do not connect unit to power before mechanical and electrical installation is
complete. For packaged units, disconnect power from the entire HVAC system. For
split-systems disconnect power to the Forced Air Unit (FAU). For air purifiers or
ventilation fans, disconnect power or unplug power cord before installation. All field
wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) 70E-2021 and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
4.0 HVAC FAN INSTALLATION
4.1 HVAC Fan Mechanical Installation
a)
WARNING:
Do not connect unit to power before mechanical and electrical
installation are complete.
b) Mount greenfan® bipolar ionizer unit to allow access for general maintenance.
c) Install unit with two self-
tapping screws (1/4” drive x ¾” long) attached through holes
in flanges on either side of unit with at least one inch clearance between carbon fiber
electrodes and metal surfaces or wires to ensure airflow over both electrodes.
Secure wires with zip ties to maintain proper clearance.
d) For HVAC system, install unit behind panel on fan inlet downstream of air filter to
reduce dust build-up on carbon fiber electrode brushes as shown in
Figure 4
. For
low clearance applications, locate rare-earth magnets with edges touching (e.g.,
OO), peal tape backing off magnets, and attach to back of unit shown in
Figure 5
.
Be careful when installing screws to not break flanges.

ASHRAE currently recommends using a minimum MERV 13 filter, which is at least 85% efficient at
capturing particles in 1 µm to 3 µm size range. A MERV 14 filter is at least 90% efficient at capturing
those same particles. HEPA filters are more that 99.97% efficient at capturing airborne viral particles
associated with SARS-CoV-2. ashrae.org/technical-resources/filtration-and-disinfection-faq
