AIR C LE ANER MONITOR

The optional W 8600F Air Cleaner

M onitor m ay be a e to your air

cleaner system to provi e convenient

in ication of system perform ance. The

W 8600F must be or ere seperately.

The W 8600F is esigne to m ount next

to your therm ostat, or in any convenient

location (such as a utility room) where it

can be seen as it monitors the air

cleaner's perform ance.

The four Liqui Crystal Display (LCD)

in icators are labele ON, BATTERY,

SER VIC E an FAULT.

• The ON in icator is active uring

norm al air cleaning operation. The system fan is also on when the air

cleaner is running.

• The BATTERY in icator is active when the W 8600F battery is low.

• The SERVICE in icator is active when it is tim e to wash the air

cleaner prefilter(s) an cell(s). The tim e between cleanings is entere

into the W 8600F at installation. To turn the SERVICE in icator off,

press the Reset button locate at the bottom right of the W 8600F.

• The FAULT in icator is active when there is extrem e irt loa ing,

electronic m alfunction, constant arcing or other problem s with the

high voltage output of the air cleaner power supply.

OPERATING YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER

M11980

Set the O N-O FF switch in the power box to ON.

NOTE: Depress 1 for ON, 0 for OFF.

The air cleaner will now operate whenever your

furnace/air con itioning system fan operates. For

m axim um air cleaning benefit an cleaner air

con itioner coils, leave the air cleaner switch ON

at all tim es an the fan switch on your therm ostat

ON. Of course, continuous fan operation will a

to your electric bill each month.

W hen the fan an air cleaner com e on, the neon

in icator lights.

If your air cleaner is equippe with a wall-

mounte W 8600F Air Cleaner M onitor (see page

2), the ON in icator will be active whenever the

air cleaner is in operation. Of course, the system

fan will also be running.

You may hear a snapping (electrical arcing)

soun occasionally as the air cleaner operates.

This usually is cause by a larger ust particle

causing a high voltage ischarge. The snapping

soun m eans that your air cleaner is working as it

shoul . To hear the snapping soun , m om entarily

press the test button near the bottom of the oor.

Use the test button any tim e you want to prove

air cleaner operation.

W hen the fan an air cleaner stops, the neon

light goes out, as oes the ON in icator on the

W 8600F. The air cleaner is off until the heating or

air con itioning an fan start again.

If you on t want the air cleaner to run, set the

ON-O FF switch to OFF to turn off the air cleaner.

Your furnace an air con itioner will still operate

norm ally, but without the a e benefit of air

cleaning. Normally, this switch shoul be ON at

all times.

For greatest benefit, the air cleaner shoul run

all the tim e. To o this, set the fan switch on

your therm ostat to ON, an m ake sure the air

cleaner is switche ON. The fan an air cleaner

will run even when the furnace or air con itioner

is off.

NOTE: A manual fan switch may be built into

the furnace or furnace fan controller.

The air cleaner uses less power than a 40 watt

light bulb (two-cell mo el— 33 watts; single cell

mo el— 22 watts). The cost of running the

system fan will vary with the size of your fan

m otor an the cost of electricity w here you live.

M ost air cleaner owners feel that the a e cost

is more than offset by the a e benefits of full

tim e air cleaning an full tim e air circulation.

You may feel that the room tem perature stays

more even when the fan is always on.

Although the air cleaner is esigne to be

efficient over a wi e range of cell irt loa ing

con itions, regular cleaning is your best

assurance of consistent perform ance. Also, a

very irty cell an prefilter re uces air flow an ,

in turn, re uces the efficiency of the furnace or

air con itioner. The cell wash rem in er sche 

ule or the optional W 8600F Air Cleaner Monitor

shoul be use to m aintain a regular wash

sche ule.

An activate carbon (charcoal) filter is som e

tim es installe ow nstream of the air cleaner to

help control o ors. This filter shoul be change

at least annually, or as recom m en e by the

filter m anufacturer. Honeywell oes not offer

carbon filters for this application.

569-0756B—2

If you have a

h u m i ifie r If your system inclu es an atom izing hum i ifier,

you m ay want to install a stan ar furnace filter

between the humi ifier an the air cleaner. This

filter woul keep the humi ifier spray's mineral

eposits from collecting on the air cleaner. This

filter shoul be checke regularly an change

when it show s signs of m ineral or irt buil up. If

you o not install a filter, you will probably nee

to wash the cell(s) an prefilter(s) more often to

rem ove the mineral buil up.

If an ultrasonic room hum i ifier is use often,

especially if fille with tap (un istille ) water, the

cell(s) an prefilter(s) will require more frequent

washing. A white resi ue will accumulate on the

cell(s) from the minerals in the water. This

resi ue may also contribute to "white ust"

(see p. 17).

All Honeywell whole house hum i ifiers m ay be

use in a system with the Honeywell Electronic

Air Cleaner without any a itional filters or

system mo ification.
