will notice a light film, then a very definite collection will
be evident at a later examination. When there is a
noticeable build-up of dirt, it is time to wash.
In most areas the collecting cell should be washed every
12 weeks.
NOTE:
Dirt build-up on the ionizing–collecting cell should not be
confused with dirt stains. Dirt stains are normal and
should not affect efficiency.
STEPS FOR WASHING (Electronic Units Only)
1. Switch control switch “OFF”.
2. Remove pre-filter and cell.
3. Place components in automatic dishwasher,
stationary tub, shower stall or over floor drain.
Use hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
(Ionizing wires are easily broken. Handle the
cells with care.)
4. Replace pre-filter and cell.
5. Close cell access door.
6. Switch control switch to “ON”.
If arcing noise occurs due to wet cells, turn
switch off and allow more drying time.
If there are any problems, refer to the service
check list.

TROUBLESHOOTING
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR USE BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
WARNING:
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES WILL EXPOSE
HAZARDOUS LIVE PARTS. DISCONNECT THE AIR
CLEANER BEFORE PROCEEDING.
All TRION Electronic Air Cleaners are manufactured to
give the user continued trouble-free service. However,
as with all mechanical equipment breakdowns do occur.
The Troubleshooting Chart on this page will enable the
user to pinpoint the cause of most problems. Refer to the
Ordering Information section for replacement parts.
Before troubleshooting the unit, refer to the Wiring
Diagram; check for proper wiring connections and the
input line voltage. A minimum voltage of 108 VAC is
required.
After assembling and installing the unit, turn the control
switch to one of the 3 positions.
1. The unit’s green “on” light should now be on
indicating the unit has line voltage.
2. The voltage to the cell light (red) should be on
indicating high voltage is being sent from the
power supply to the cell. (Not on FM 1000
Media).
ARCING (SNAPPING OR CRACKING NOISE)
Does not apply to FM 1000 Media
An occasional arcing noise may be emitted from the air
cleaner. This is normal and is caused by an
exceptionally large piece of dirt or other matter entering
the collecting cell. An arcing noise may also be noted
after cell washing. If this occurs and is consistent, allow
more time for the cell to dry. Refer to Troubleshooting
Chart.
CAUTION:
TROUBLESHOOTING WILL EXPOSE HAZARDOUS
LIVE PARTS. DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE
PROCEEDING. ALLOW THE CELL TO DISCHARGE
AT LEAST 2 MINUTES AFTER POWER HAS BEEN
TURNED OFF TO INSURE THERE IS NO RESIDUAL
CHARGE.
