F116 (SERIES 16000) SELF-CONTAINED DUCTABLE COMMERCIAL AIR CLEANER
68-0200

When the air cleaner is powered, the blower/motor draws the
contaminated air into the air cleaner. Particles that are too
small to be caught in the prefilter are trapped by the primary
filter. When using the electrostatic precipitator collecting cells,
the particles are given an electrical charge in the ionizer
section of the cell. As the air passes through the collecting
section of the cell, the charged particles adhere to the
collector plates which have a strong electrical charge. The
clean air is then discharged (two stage) or goes through a
second primary filter (three stage) and is then discharged.
The air cleaner includes an ON and a cell performance
indicator. The ON indicator lights when the solid state power
supply is powered and operating normally. The cell
performance indicator is on when the cells need to cleaned.
Static Pressure
The F116 (series 16000) uses a forward curve blower/motor.
The electrical current draw is determined by combining the air
volume to be moved with the filter and ducting static pressure.
IMPORTANT
Motor overload will occur if the combined filter and
ducting static pressure is less than 1.2" W.G.
The net air volume at 1.2" W.G. will vary from 2150 cfm (62
m
3
/min) on low speed to 2350 cfm (68 m
3
/min) on high speed.
The maximum allowable electrical current draw for all speeds
is between 13.5A and 14A at 120 Vac.
The blower turns off when a sufficient amount of air can not be
drawn through the intake (1.85" W.G.) and the blower spins in a
vacuum. A maximum blower pressure of 2.25" W.G. can occur
which can have an air volume of 100 cfm (3 m
3
/min).
NOTE:
No damage will occur to the air cleaner if operating
at 1.85" W.G. pressure or higher.
The ideal system design has the ducting pressure combined
with a clean filter pressure operating at 1.2" W.G. The motor
should run at 14A at 120V. As the filters load, the resistance
to airflow increases which causes the static pressure to
increase while the electrical current draw and air volume
decrease. The air volume loss is low for the first 0.5" W.G. of
pressure increase from the initial 1.2" W.G.
EXAMPLE:
At high speed the 1.2" W.G. air volume is
approximately 2350 cfm (68 m
3
/min) and at 1.7"
W.G. the air volume is approximately 2000 cfm
(58 m
3
/min). But at 1.9" W.G. the air volume
drops to approximately 1150 cfm (33 m
3
/min).
Loading does not resist airflow when using the electrostatic
precipitator collecting cells and/or CPZ™ modules. However,
a loaded prefilter does restrict the airflow. Refer to Fig. 3 and
Table 3 for nominal air volume calculations and filter
configuration pressures.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
•
Do not connect the power source until after the air
cleaner is mounted. This will prevent electrical
shock or equipment damage.
•
Be sure to turn off the air cleaner before servicing
it.
•
If the air cleaner must be turned on for an electrical
check, be extremely careful to avoid electrical
shock. Also, take care when working near the air
cleaner moving parts.
Choose Location and Mount
Choose a location that is readily accessible for regular
inspection and cleaning. Allow enough room for removing the
prefilter and primary filters. Be sure there is room for servicing
without removing pipes, ducts or other heating system
components. See Fig. 4 through 12 for suggested locations.
The air cleaner must be attached to a structure a capable of
supporting the weight of the unit with filters, ducting and
plenums when used. Roof trusses, bar joists and floor joists
are examples of suitable structures.
IMPORTANT
All suspension points (either six or eight depending
on the model) must be used for proper and safe
installation. See Fig. 1 and 2 for dimensions between
the suspension points.
Threaded rod, eyebolts with chains, or any standard practice
and hardware for handing method can be used in the
suspension of the air cleaner. See Fig. 13.
