SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installation and servicing of this equipment can be hazardous due

to mechanical and electrical components. Only trained and

qualified personnel should install, repair, or service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such

as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other operations must be
performed by trained service personnel. When working on this

equipment, observe precautions in the literature, on tags, and on

labels attached to or shipped with the unit and other safety
precautions that may apply. Follow all safety codes. Installation

must be in compliance with local and national building codes.
Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and work gloves. Have

fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and

follow all warnings or cautions included in literature and attached
to the unit.

Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol

.

When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand these signal words; DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety--alert symbol.

DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which

will

result in

severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards

which

could

result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used

to identify unsafe practices which

may

result in minor personal

injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight

suggestions which

will

result in enhanced installation, reliability, or

operation.

INTRODUCTION

These instructions cover the installation, operation and
maintenance of an EACB Electronic Air Cleaner.

This electronic air cleaner is technically known as a two--stage
electrostatic precipitator. The air cleaner is designed to remove

airborne particulates, including dust, dirt, smoke, pollen, virus,
spores, bacteria and mold, from indoor air. Air movement through

the unit is provided by the heating, air conditioning or ventilating

system blower. As dirty air enters the air cleaner, the air passes
through a metal mesh prefilter. The prefilter prevents lint, pet hair

and other large particulates from entering the air cleaner. It is
important that these filters be in place to prevent excessive dirt

loading of the air cleaner collector cells. These filters extend the

time between maintenance of the air cleaner collector cells. This
allows the ionizing--collector cells to provide clean air for a longer

period between washings. The prefiltered air then passes through a
two--stage Electronic Air Cleaner. In the first stage, all airborne

particulate, even submicron size, are electronically charged

(positive) as they pass through the ionizer. The ionizer field is set
up by a corona discharge emanating from the fine, tightly strung

wires suspended between two adjacent flat plates. In the second
stage, the charged particulate passes through an intense electrical

field established between alternately charged and grounded parallel
collector plates. Here, the positively charged particulate is attracted

to the negatively ground plates and removed from the air stream.
