Install Instructions
Nu-Calgon Instruction Bulletin 4-415
Installation Instructions
1. Disconnect air handler power before installing.
2. Mount the iWave-R after the particle filter and before
the indoor coil. This ensures pathogens (i.e., mold) and
odors are controlled throughout the entire depth of the
coil in addition to the breathing space.
3. The iWave-R is designed with universal mounting- either
attach with screws or affix to the system with integral
magnets. Mount near the fan inlet (shaft side) on a metal
surface in the air handler, internal wall duct or external
wall duct depending on what is best for the installation.
For external duct mount, a three inch diameter hole will
need to be cut/drilled out of the duct. IMPORTANT: If
mounting on the fan housing, ensure the iWave-R is
secured from fan vibration - use short length self-tapping
screws so as not to impair operation of fan.
CRITICAL: Make sure air flows
across both brushes at the same
time, like a football through a field
goal post.
CRITICAL: The iWave-R is
designed for flush, external duct
mount installations as an optional
install. Ensure in all installations
that other metal surfaces/wires are kept a minimum of two
inches away from the tip ends of the high voltage emitters
to prevent grounding, leading to premature failure.

Mounting Options
Fan Inlet Mount
• Internal magnets holding unit to fan inlet (shaft side).
• Use self-tapping screws to secure device, especially for
high velocity applications or excessive vibration when
using magnets.
Inside Wall/Cabinet Mount
• Internal magnets holding unit to wall duct or air handler
metal panel.
External Duct Mount
• Use two self-tapping screws to hold unit to duct.
• Cut/drill a 3 inch hole in duct to install
IMPORTANT!
Install in return air between air filter and cooling coil. For
external duct mount, make sure sheet metal sits against
gasket surface; the high voltage emitter ends (fiber
brushes) must be 2 inches away from other metal and
other wiring to prevent grounding/premature failure.
