F200E CHARGED-MEDIA AIR CLEANER
68-0238
3
Applications With Air Conditioning
Mount the media air cleaner upstream of the evaporator coil
in a cooling system. The filter will help to keep the coil clean
and reduce maintenance.
Applications With A Humidifier
The media air cleaner is compatible with humidifiers. Avoid
applications where water mist will reach the media. If an
atomizing humidifier is used, the filter media will require
replacement more often because of minerals in the water.
Choose Mounting Position
The media air cleaner can be mounted in any position, but
the arrow on the cartridge must point in the same direction as
the airflow. See Figs. 3-10 for proper location of the media air
cleaner for a variety of furnace installations. Note that the
media air cleaner cabinet is sturdy enough to easily support
the weight of the furnace and evaporator coil. See Fig. 4.

enters side inlet of furnace.
Media Replacement :
Replace the filter at least annually or when the built-in
pressure sensors in the F200E door detect that airflow is
impaired and the filter requires cleaning. This condition
causes the indicator light on the F200E door t begin flashing
and the transmitter to send a signal to the wall-mounted RF
Indicator that the filter needs replacing.
After replacing the filter, press the reset button on the F200E
door to reset both the door indicator light and the RF
AIRWATCH Air Cleaner Indicator. (See Table 1 for
AIRWATCH operation.)

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Location
The media air cleaner should be installed where all the air
passing through the system is circulated through it. The best
location is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment
so the media air cleaner can help to keep the blower motor and
evaporator coils clean. Do not mount in the supply air duct.
For most efficient air cleaning, spread airflow evenly across
the face of the media. If the duct is a different size than the
media air filter cabinet, gradual transitions are required. If
the duct turns sharply just before the air filter, turning vanes
are required.
Choose a location that is readily accessible for checking and
replacing the filter. Allow at least 26 in. (660 mm) clearance in
front of the unit for removal of the cartridge.
Install the media air filter where the temperature will not
exceed the ratings in the Specifications.
