They will help ensure a correct and SAFE installation of the Aprilaire® Electronic Air Cleaner. WARNING: • 120 Volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Disconnect power to the furnace/air handler before starting installation. Leave power disconnected until installation is completed. • Arcing in electrical components may cause an explosion. Do not install unit where explosive gasses will be present. • Sharp edges may cause injury from cuts. Use care when cutting and handling sheet metal. • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment has a grounding-type (three prong) plug. This plug will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet. Do not alter this plug in any way. • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, locate product so that the power cord can be plugged into an electrical outlet without the use of an extension cord. CAUTION: • To prevent component failure, do not install the air cleaner on the warm air supply or in an area where the temperature may exceed 149° F. This may include areas above heat exchangers in downflow furnaces or above exhaust flues in lowboy furnace cold air returns. • The air cleaner must be installed where the ambient air temperature remains between 32° F and 149° F [0° C and 65° C]. • Installation must conform to all applicable codes. • Do not install an atomizing humidifier upstream of the air cleaner. Water or mist will cause power supply to shut down. SPECIFICATIONS Description The Aprilaire Electronic Air Cleaner Model 5000 is an electronically enhanced “ElectraMedia” air cleaner.

Power Usage Less than 50 watts with high voltage active. Shipping Weight 35 lbs. 2 © Research Products Corporation 2002 POWER PACK / DOOR ASSEMBLY IONIZER FRAME CONTROL ELECTRODE OUTER HOUSING INNER HOUSING #501 MEDIA PLEAT SPACERS Handle COMPONENTS MODEL 5000 ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER ® Figure 1 3 Model 51 INSTALLATION Important The Model 5000 Air Cleaner is designed for systems with airflow up to 2000 cfm. If the furnace has more than one return air inlet connection, install one air cleaner in each. The air cleaner can be installed horizontally, vertically, or at an angle depending on furnace type. Figures 2, 3, and 4 show unit orientation in various types of applications. Note airflow direction arrows on inner assembly and outer housing. Allow 29” clearance in front of the unit for media replacement (see Figure 5). If a transition or offsets are required, minimize transition angles to reduce system pressure drop (see Figure 4). Figure 6 shows the air cleaner dimensions.

CAUTION: Do not install an atomizing humidifier upstream from the air cleaner. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Warning: 120 Volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Leave power disconnected until installation is completed. 1. Remove air cleaner power pack/door assembly and pull inner assembly out of the outer housing. 2. Remove media carton from the inner housing. 3. Turn off furnace/air handler. 4. On retrofit applications, remove existing filter, discard it, and thoroughly clean the blower and blower compartment. 5. With airflow label in proper orientation, attach outer housing to furnace/air handler system. Seal inlet and discharge connections with caulk or mastic and provide support for the housing as required (See Figure 7). See Figures 2 through 4 for typical system types. 6. Install the media using the instructions on the media carton. 7. Check to make sure that the ionizer frame is properly inserted into the inner housing and that the control electrode is inserted fully into the ionizer frame. 8. Insert the inner assembly into the outer housing and replace the door. Figure 8 Figure 7 9. Press the power cord into the slot in the side of the power pack/door assembly so that it is directed towards the outlet. See Figure 8. 10. Install a single outlet receptacle to the furnace/air handler cabinet which conforms to NEC standards as well as all applicable local codes, using 1 of the 2 options below: Figure 9- Use the furnace/air handler EAC terminals to wire the outlet. Figure 10- If EAC terminals are not available use the ...
