“Off” position to initiate the blower. Air should blow
out of the discharge grille located on top of the unit.
Adjust airflow as required.
Indicating Light
The LED light on the front panel provides an indication
of the electrical operation of the electronic air cleaner.
Constant illumination indicates correct operation of the
power supplies and power to the ionizing/collecting
cells. If the LED is continuously flickering, or fails to
glow, it is an indicator of potential problems. Refer to
the Troubleshooting diagram to correct the problem.
General
Care and maintenance includes the periodic cleaning
and replacement of the various filtration components,
and servicing the blower/motor assembly.
The frequency for routine cleaning and/or replacement
of the filters after initial start-up is dependent upon the
nature and amount of contaminant being collected.
Relatively clean mist particles that coalesce into larger
droplets when collected tend to drain from the collecting
surfaces in a “self-cleaning” action. Mist mixed with
semi-solids, smoke, dust, and other solids do not drain
SAFETY NOTE
Factory designed access to all electrically
charged high voltage components contain
electrical interlocks for the safety of operating
personnel. Any additional access that may be
provided in the system, where there is access
to high voltage, must be equipped with such
interlocks. Interlocks are readily available from
the factory.
Care and Maintenance
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Before cleaning or servicing this unit it is
recommended that this unit be disconnected
from any electrical supply outlet. Failure to follow
these precautions could result in electrical shock,
fire, death or serious personal injury.
as readily and therefore require more frequent manual
cleaning. As the make-up and quantity of contaminants
vary from application to application, practical
maintenance time schedules are best established by
several visual examinations of the filtration components
after the unit is placed into operation. Also, observing the
contaminant pick-up at the hood is a good indicator of
the filter condition. Any depreciation in the effectiveness
of pick-up indicates a drop off in capture velocity, which
is usually attributed to clogged filters.

Heavy loading
1-2 months
Very heavy loading
2 weeks-1 month
Cleaning
The aluminum mesh filters and ionizing/collecting
cells require periodic cleaning. Hot water, 140-1600
F (60-710 C), and a good non-foaming, non-corrosive
detergent (safe for use on aluminum) should be used.
TRION’s Tridex APS liquid detergent, formulated
specifically for this purpose, is available through your
TRION Representative.
The filter components should first be rinsed in warm
water, and then soaked in a detergent water solution.
When the contaminant loosens or dissolves, the filters
should then be thoroughly rinsed and dried prior to
placing them back into service. When cleaning the
components, it is not necessary to “make them shine.”
Cleaning is to remove the accumulated dirt build-up.
Dirt stains do not impair efficiency.
WARNING!
Do not allow debris or foreign objects to
become lodged between the cell plates. This
will cause shorting and damage the cells and/
or the power supply.
CAUTION!
Do not use steam cleaners to wash the cells.
The high temperatures may cause the cell plates
to warp or create other damage to the cell.
