OPERATION 

CONTROL SWITCH 

The 3 position control switch located on the exposed 
side of the installed unit, controls the operation of the 
power supply and the speed of the fan: Low, Medium or 
High. (Power Supply not needed on FM 1000 Media 
Unit). 

LED LIGHTS (Red not used on FM 1000M) 

The green LED indicates the unit has electrical power 
and the switch has been turned to one of the 3 positions. 


This manual provides information for location, 
installation, operation and service of the FM 1000 E & M. 
Before installation and use of the air cleaner, carefully 
read these instructions to insure maximum benefits from 
the unit and to avoid needless service cost that result 
from improper installation. 


The Red LED indicates High Voltage (approximately 
6800 VDC) is supplied to the Ionizer / Collector cell. 
(Red not used on Media unit). 

FILTER ACCESS 


FM 1000 E ELECTROSTATIC 

The FM 1000 E electronic air cleaner is technically 
known as a two-stage electrostatic precipitator. It is 
designed to remove airborne particles, dust, dirt, smoke 
or other indoor air pollutants. 

Air movement through the unit is controlled by its own 
blower system. As dirty air enters the unit, it passes 
through a pre-filter, which removes large particles by 
direct impingement. 

The pre-filtered air then passes through a two-stage 
electrostatic precipitator. In the first stage of electrical 
operation, all airborne particles, even of submicroscopic 
size are electrically charged (positive) as they pass 
through the ionizer. In the second stage of operation, the 
charged particles pass into an electrical field established 
between a series of parallel plates, forming the negative 
element of the field established between a series of 
parallel plates that collect airborne particulate. 

FM 1000M MEDIA FILTER 

The FM 1000M with media filtration instead of an 
lonizer/Collector cell utilizes the same type pre-filter but 
a mechanical media or fabric main filter to trap airborne 
pollutants in the filter fibers. As more pollutants are 
collected, the efficiency of the media filter is increased to 
a point where air delivery from the unit is reduced and 
effective air cleaning does not take place. It is then time 


The filter access screws located on the access door of 
the unit hold the access door closed, and are designed 
to automatically disconnect electrical power when the 
access door is opened (Item 6, Page 5). The access 
door may be removed for convenience of unit installation 
and cleaning once in operation. 

INSTALLATION 

Read instructions carefully before beginning installation. 


CAUTION: 

ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANERS CANNOT BE USED IN 
AREAS WHERE COMBUSTIBLE GASES OR VAPORS 
ARE PRESENT. USE GLOVES DURING 
INSTALLATION TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY 
FROM EXPOSED METAL. 


T-BAR CEILING INSTALLATION 

DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT IN A T-BAR CEILING 
UNLESS THE UNIT CAN BE SECURED TO THE 
PERMANENT CEILING OR CEILING JOIST, BEAMS, 
ETC. AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. 

1. Installer must provide the 2/0 chain or other 
hanger material as required. 

2. Carefully unpack the unit and check for damage 
incurred in shipment. Report any damage to the 
freight carrier and your TRION Representative 
immediately.

3. Open Filter access door and remove it. Also 
remove both collector cells or media filter and 
set aside being careful not to damage either. 

4. Install eyebolts provided with unit as shown in 
Sketch A.

5. Select mounting location as near to the center of 
the area to be cleaned or at the point 
recommended by your TRION Representative. 
Remove a section of ceiling tile. 

6. Attach a length of safety chain (2.0 Min.) or 
equivalent rod, cable or other hanger material to 
each of the four eyebolts. Fasten securely. See 
Sketch A. 

7. Lift unit into place and support while securing to

8. Install mounting trim brackets to each side to fill 
in the gap between the unit and T-Bar. 

9. Connect electrical power to the unit. See Wiring 
Diagram. 

10. If optional carbon filter is used, remove filter 
from plastic bag and install in the guide rails 
provided inside the cabinet behind the main 
filter. Replace the main filter and pre-filter / door 
assembly. Close the door and secure by turning 
the quarter turn fasteners clockwise with a coin 
or screwdriver. The unit is now ready for 
operation. 

The following information will be required for prompt 
delivery of repair parts:

1. Unit model number Inside door 

2. Unit serial number Inside door 

3. Part number and description Exploded views. 

When a part number is not listed, give the above 
information and include the item number from the 
exploded views. 


MAINTENANCE AND WASHING 


MAINTENANCE 


When to Wash: Periodically the dirt collected by your 
unit must be removed. The frequency of washing will 
depend on the amount of dirt present in the air in your 
locality. 

The washing frequency best suited for your unit can be 
determined by examining the dirt collected components 
at three week intervals. As the dirt begins to collect, you 








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. 


FM 1000E ELECTROSTATIC 
TROUBLESHOOTING 


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.
