SECONDARY CIRCUIT
IONIZING-COLLECTING CELL
The cells are electrically energized through a contact terminal located at the top center
of each cell. The ionizing wires and alternating collector plates are electrically charged
while the interleaving plates are grounded.
If the space between the charged and grounded plates is bridged with conductive or
semi-conductive material, a short circuit develops. The bridging or short may be caused
by damaged plates, or foreign material lodged between/on the components. Since the
cell should be periodically removed from the unit to wash away collected dirt, it is
susceptible to physical damage. The cell also contains the ionizing wires, which have
been designed, due to their function, with minimal structure support and are susceptible
to breakage. Short circuit issues related to dirty or damaged Ionizing-Collecting Cells are
readily identified by the lack of illumination of the Red CELL ENERGIZED light and
quickly identified and isolated by a simple procedure.
To determine if a short circuit condition exists in one or both Ionizing- Collecting Cell(s),
turn the Electronic Air Cleaner OFF. Remove both Ionizer- Collecting Cells from the
cabinet. Re-position the Front Panel Assembly to the cabinet, turn ON/OFF switch ON
and ensure HVAC system blower is operating.
The Green INPUT POWER light should illuminate. If the Red CELL ENERGIZED light
illuminates, an electrical short circuit exists in one or both of the Ionizing-Collecting Cells.
Replace the cells, one at a time, to determine which cell has the short circuit. The Red
CELL ENERGIZED light will not illuminate if a short circuit condition is detected.
Most short circuit troubles in the cell can be visually detected and corrected. Refer to
COMMON TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES (pg. 9).
NOTICE:
The Ionizing-Collecting Cells are not designed for field repair. Ionizing wires and
insulators can be field replaced; however, it is not recommended that you attempt
to replace other cell components (i.e. collecting plates, end plates, ionizer wire
supports).
