SECTION IV TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. Trouble Shooting

WARNING:

EXERCISE THE USUAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH HIGH VOLTAGE. THE MAXIMUM OPERATING OUTPUT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY IS 15,000 VDC AND 5.5 MA. to 11.0 MA. WHEN IN PARALLEL.

IF SAFETY SWITCHES ARE CLOSED AND CIRCUIT IS

ENERGIZED, DO NOT TOUCH HIGH VOLTAGE. WHEN THE CIRCUIT IS DE-ENERGIZED, ALWAYS BLEED OFF REMAINING STATIC CHARGE WITH AN INSULATED HANDLED SCREW DRIVER BY SHORTING GROUND

THE POINTS OF HIGH VOLTAGE DC POTENTIAL.

WARNING

Risk of Electrical Shock

The servicing Instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the service instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

A. Introduction

This section on trouble shooting provides a description of potential malfunctions, their cause, location and correction. A Trouble Reference Chart listing the most probable causes and corrections follows the general text.

NOTE: All repair to the fire suppression system (If supplied), must be completed by the authorized fire control contractor. For a system supplied with the ATS unit refer to Figure 7.

The electronic air cleaner is the unit within the system that has the highest efficiency collection rating and is also the one with the highest potential for malfunction. When a malfunction does occur, the outage is usually found in the electrical secondary circuit in the ionizing-collecting cell(s).

Indicating lights are installed in the face panel of the control to monitor the electrical operation of each power supply and the ionizing-collecting cell(s) they energize. The quantity of power supplies per unit is dependent upon unit size with one supply to each ionizing-collecting cell tier in height. Other than the basic hand tools, it is advantageous to have a volt- meter with a 20 KVDC high voltage probe. These instruments are standard catalog items by several manufactures.

B. Secondary Short Circuit

The most common outage is a short in the secondary circuit and is best located through the process of elimination. Symptoms are a flickering indicating light accompanied by an arcing noise in the ionizing-collecting cell(s) or an indicating light that is not glowing.

A flickering light with an arcing noise is an indication of a high resistance short circuit and a light that is not glowing is an indication of a dead short. (A light that is not glowing can also be an indication of an open circuit in the primary circuit. Refer to the paragraph on open circuits.) The short may be in the power supply, the high voltage cables or the ionizing-collecting cell(s). To isolate the short to any one of these three components, proceed as follows:

WARNING

When safety interlock switches are closed, do not come in contact with high voltage components. The operating output from the high voltage power supply(s) is 12,500 VDC and 6 MA.

When the power supply(s) is de-energized there is a

20 second delay for the voltage to decay. Always short from ground to a point of high voltage with a Well-insulated jumper wire or an insulated handled screwdriver to bleed-off any remaining residual charge.

1.Disconnect both high voltage leads from their respective terminals in the power supply and support them away from any point of contact.

2.Energize the power supply:

a.If the light still flickers or does not glow; the trouble is indicated to be in the power supply. First, Replace the power supply in its entirety.

b.If the light glows steady with the leads disconnected the power supply is indicated to be normal.

3.Next reconnect both high voltage leads to their respective terminals inside the power supply and disconnect them at the ionizing-collecting cell(s). Support them away from any point of contact and energize the power supply.

NOTE: It will be necessary to close the access door electrical interlock switch operated by the access door and affix the junction box lid with hardware supplied to close the electrical interlock switch on the box, to complete the primary circuit to the power supply.

a. If either high voltage lead is defective, the light will indicate the trouble. Each lead may then be checked separately by disconnecting them, one at a time, from their respective terminals at the power supply. When a lead is found to be defective, replace it in its entirety. Do not repair or splice.

b. If the light glows steady with the leads disconnected at the ionizing-collecting cell(s) the trouble is then indicated to be in the ionizing-collecting cell(s).

The trouble can then be isolated to a single cell or ionizing or collector section of a given cell as follows:

147207-001, Air Boss ATS specifications

The Trion Air Boss ATS, model number 147207-001, represents a significant advancement in air quality management technology, designed to cater to both residential and commercial environments. This innovative air purification system combines state-of-the-art features with cutting-edge technologies to ensure optimal air quality.

At the heart of the Trion Air Boss ATS is its multi-stage filtration system. The system incorporates a pre-filter that captures larger particles such as dust and pet dander, ensuring that these allergens are eliminated before they can circulate through the air. Following this, a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter is employed, which is capable of capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This includes microscopic allergens, smoke, and even some bacteria and viruses. The result is clean, breathable air that helps reduce allergy symptoms and improve overall indoor air quality.

One of the standout features of the Trion Air Boss ATS is its advanced ionization technology. By introducing negatively charged ions into the air, it helps to further neutralize airborne contaminants. These ions attach to pollutants, causing them to clump together and fall out of the air, making it easier for the filters to capture them. This technology not only enhances air purity but also ensures that the space remains fresher and healthier.

The Trion Air Boss ATS is also designed with user convenience in mind. It features an intuitive control panel that allows users to easily monitor air quality levels and adjust settings as needed. Additionally, the system is equipped with smart sensor technology that automatically adjusts filtration speed based on the level of pollutants detected in the air, ensuring efficient operation without unnecessary energy consumption.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the Trion Air Boss ATS. The system is designed to minimize energy usage while maximizing air cleaning capabilities, making it an environmentally responsible choice. It is suitable for areas up to a specified square footage, making it versatile for various settings, from small offices to larger spaces.

In summary, the Trion Air Boss ATS, 147207-001, stands out for its effective multi-stage filtration, advanced ionization technology, user-friendly controls, and energy-efficient design. As air quality concerns continue to rise, this system offers a reliable solution for creating cleaner, healthier indoor environments.
