INTRODUCTION READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Certified for shock and electrical fire hazard only i WARNING! This symbol indicates important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death. i CAUTION! This symbol indicates important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage. i WARNING! Before beginning any installation or modification, be certain that the main line electrical disconnect switch is in the OFF position.
FILTRATION SPECIFICATIONS Table 1: Specifications 120V MODELS AE14-1620-51 AE14-1625-51 AE14-2020-51 AE14-2025-51 240V MODELS AE14-1620-52 AE14-1625-52 AE14-2020-52 AE14-2025-52 House Size Area (typical) up to 2400 ft² up to 223 m² up to 3000 ft² up to 279 m² up to 3000 ft² up to 279 m² up to 4000 ft² up to 372 m² Airflow up to 1200 CFM up to 2040 m³/hr up to 1400 CFM up to 2380 m³/hr up to 1400 CFM up to 2380 m³/hr up to 2000 CFM up to 3400 m³/hr Duct Size 16 x 20 in 40.5 x 51.
FILTRATION INSTALLATION Static Pressure The static pressure drop across the air cleaner will vary with CFM and whether the carbon VOC filters have been installed in the unit. Table 2: Pressure Drop (Inches w.c.) 100% Airflow No Carbon VOC Filters 100% Airflow With Carbon VOC Filters 40% Airflow No Carbon VOC Filters 40% Airflow With Carbon VOC Filters 0.158 0.250 0.030 0.
FILTRATION INSTALLATION Figure 5: Air Cleaner Installation Location Allow 24 in. (60 cm) clearance for maintaining air cleaner Allow 6 in. (15 cm) clearance for power box removal. Installation Location with Humidifier A humidifier should be installed in the furnace warm air duct. However, it may be installed in the return duct without causing problems to the air cleaner.
WIRING Wiring Wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel. All wiring must comply with all applicable codes and standards. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage indicated on the air cleaner. The air cleaner must operate ONLY when the system fan is running. Make sure the air cleaner is properly grounded. If the air cleaner is equipped with a cord and plug, the air cleaner can be plugged into an outlet within 6 feet of the unit.
FILTRATION CHECKOUT i WARNING! Electronic air cleaners use high voltage (low amperage) power. Only trained personnel should perform service. Electric shock can cause injury or death. i CAUTION! For most troubleshooting, the cells should be removed from the air cleaner. A short in one of the cells will cause the power board to shut down and the performance light will stay off. Unless otherwise directed, remove the cells from the unit when testing.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance It is important to perform regularly-scheduled maintenance of the air cleaner. For best performance of the air cleaner and to keep airflow restriction low, it is recommended that the collector cells be cleaned at least twice a year or when the static pressure across the air cleaner reaches 0.5 inches w.c. If you find significant loading of particulates on the collector cells when you perform the first cleaning, clean the cells more frequently.
FILTRATION MAINTENANCE Reinstalling the Cells and Prefilters 1. Once dry, inspect the cells for broken ionizer wires and bent collector plates. Repair as necessary or contact an authorized Clean Comfort service technician to repair. 2. Re-insert the prefilters into the upstream prefilter guides. 3. Re-insert the collector cells into the guides in the bottom center of the air cleaner cabinet; the airflow arrow points downstream (towards the furnace or air handler) and the handle faces outward. 4.
TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting The air cleaner, when operating normally with the fan running, should have both the orange power switch light and the green performance indicator light ON. If the fan is running and the lights are not on, follow instructions below for probable causes and remedies. Quick Check (Orange Power Switch Light ON, Green Performance Indicator Light OFF) 1. Remove both cells from the air cleaner cabinet. Replace the cabinet door. 2.
FILTRATION TROUBLESHOOTING High voltage can be adjusted with high voltage potentiometer if required. See Table 4 below. Table 4: Power Board Voltage Settings (with load) The voltage will be higher without the cells in the unit. MODEL Max. Voltage on Plates (KVDC) Max. Voltage on Ionizer (KVDC) AE14-1620-51 AE14-1625-51 4.8 - 5.3 (HV1) 7.2 - 8.0 (HV2) AE14-2020-51 AE14-2025-51 4.8 - 5.2 (HV1) 7.2 - 7.
TROUBLESHOOTING FILTRATION Voltage on the power board may drop below required level when installation area is too damp, too cold, or if there is a leakage of water from a humidifier. Voltage on power board may be too high when installation area is too dry or too hot, or home is in close proximity to hydro towers or situated in remote farm land areas. By adjusting the HV Adj. potentiometer, the voltage can be set to optimum level. A high voltage meter capable of measuring 10,000 VDC is required.
FILTRATION TROUBLESHOOTING Table 5 Troubleshooting Guide Problem Unit does not function correctly. Power light and performance indicator light are OFF. Probable Causes Remedy System fan is not on. Turn system fan on. Wiring improperly connected. Check wiring or verify that plug is inserted in receptacle and receptacle is powered. Defective power switch. Check power switch for continuity with ohmmeter. Replace if defective. Defective safety interlock.
TROUBLESHOOTING Cells arcing excessively (power light and performance indicator light ON or flashing). Cells wet from washing. Allow cells to dry completely. Particles lodged in cell or broken ionizing wire. Wash cell. Shake particle out of cell. Replace wire, if necessary. Ducts were not cleaned prior to installation of air cleaner. Clean ducts. Cell plates are bent. Remove cells and adjust to original spacing using needle-nose pliers. Dirty cells. Wash cells and clean ionizing wires.
FILTRATION SERVICE Service A) Replacing a Performance Light Before replacing the performance light, turn OFF power to the air cleaner at the source. 1. Remove the power box cover. 2. Disconnect the performance light wiring connected to the LED terminals on the power board. Carefully cut the wire ties from the wire bundle. 3. Push the light out through front of power box. 4. Push the new light into the power box. 5. Connect the wiring to the LED terminals on the power board. P3 - red; P4 - black.
SERVICE FILTRATION D) Replacing an Air Proving Switch (APS) Before replacing the performance light, turn OFF power to the air cleaner at the source. F) Replacing a Tungsten Ionizing Wire Replacement wires are cut to the correct length and have eyelets at each end for easy replacement. 1. Disconnect wiring from terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the APS. See Fig. 6. 1. Turn OFF power to air cleaner. 2. Remove the circuit board from the studs by removing the two nuts. Do not remove the spacers. 3.
