HOW TO INSTALL YOUR MEDIA AIR CLEANER
IMPORTANT:
Due to differences in how furnaces are installed, it is impossible to provide detailed instructions that cover every installa-
tion. The following instructions provide general guidelines on installation of the Media Air Cleaner. It is the responsibility
of the installer to determine how to properly install the Media Air Cleaner in accordance with local codes, standards, and
accepted building practices.
Determine Best Location for Media Air Cleaner
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard. Can damage or
destroy
HVAC equipment.
Only install Media Air Cleaner on the return air duct.
Select a location to mount the media air cleaner on the return
plenum. See Figs. 3 to 9.
• The media air cleaner should be installed such that
all of the air passing through the HVAC system is
circulated through the air cleaner.
• The best location is in the return air duct next to the
blower compartment.
• Do not mount in the supply air duct.
• If installing media air cleaner in system with
humidifier, avoid applications where water mist will
reach the filter cartridge.
• The media air cleaner can be mounted in any
position.
• The metal cabinet is strong enough to support the
weight of furnace and evaporator coil.
• Choose a location that is readily accessible for
replacing the filter. Allow at least 26 in. clearance in
front of the unit for removal of the filter cartridge.
• Do not install in locations that get colder than -40
°
F
or hotter than 140
°
F.
• Make sure filter pressure drop will not negatively
impact system performance. See Fig. 10.
• Media air cleaner dimensions are given in Fig. 11.
• Make sure the Media Air Cleaner is located at least 3
feet away from any ultraviolet air treatment system,
such as the Honeywell RUVLAMP1.
NOTE: Every installation is unique. Installer is responsible
for ensuring that installation is in accordance with all
local building codes and standards.
