Note:  
Ionizer Voltage:  
Collector Voltage: 12 KVDC  
Motor: (where applicable) Ball bearing, Totally enclosed, Fan Cooled.  
Polluted air is drawn into the unit by the belt driven  
blower on the T5200 unit. The T1001 and T2002 units  
require an external air handler to move the air.  
6 KVDC  
After passing through a pre-filter, the particles in the air  
are given an electrical charge supplied by the power  
supply. As the particles enter the collector cells, these  
charged particles are attracted to and collected on  
grounded collecting plates.  
II. PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION  
This manual should be carefully read before starting the  
preparation and installation of the air cleaner.  
The installation should conform to all local ordinances  
associated with building codes and electrical codes  
required for the unit. Authorities having jurisdiction  
should be consulted before installation is made. If there  
are no local codes, the installation should conform to  
the National Electrical Code.  
SAFETY NOTE:  
Typical Electronic Cell Operation  
UNIT OPERATION  
Factory designed access to all electrically charged  
high voltage components contain electrical  
interlocks for the safety of operating personnel. Any  
additional access that may be provided in the  
system, where there is access to high voltage, must  
be equipped with such interlocks. Interlocks are  
readily available from the factory.  
The 575V, 3 Phase unit does not have internal motor  
overload protection. The installer must provide overload  
protection in accordance with National Electrical Code,  
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 or other applicable  
electrical codes.  
For maximum air cleaning efficiency, your air cleaner  
should be located as specified by your Trion  
representative.  
The unit can be either wall-mounted or chain-hung.  
Eyebolts can be supplied by Trion.  
NEW UNIT INSPECTION  
Control Switch (A): The control switch is located on  
the cell access door. It controls the operation of the  
power pack and the belt driven blower. The control  
switch should be in the “OFF” position when the cell  
access door is open for maintenance of the unit.  
Immediately, upon receiving the unit, carefully examine  
the package for damage during transit. If the unit is  
damaged, contact the last carrier for claim filing and  
contact your Trion representative.  
While unpacking the unit, look for concealed shipping  
damage. If there is damage, it should be reported to the  
last carrier for claim filing.  
Indicating Light (B): The light located adjacent to the  
control switch is an indicator of the performance of your  
electronic air cleaner. When the control switch is “ON”,  
the blower should operate and the indicator light should  
glow. If the light does not glow or if it continually flickers  
3
and is accompanied with a continual snapping or arcing  
noise, the air cleaner requires attention and may need  
to be cleaned.  
2. Remove ionizer/collector cell(s), pre-filters and  
after-filters.  
Cell Access Door Knobs (C): The cell access  
doorknobs are located on the door near the intake end  
of the unit. To open the cell access door, turn the knobs  
counter clockwise until it releases from the cabinet.  
3. Attach 600 pound test chain to the ceiling joist  
using:  
a. Wood joist – 1/2” –13 eye bolts  
b. Metal joist – wrap chain around joist at least  
twice and secure with 600 pound test  
connecting link  
Arcing (snapping or cracking noise): An occasional  
arcing noise may be emitted from the air cleaner. This is  
a normal occurrence caused by exceptionally large  
pieces of dirt, etc., entering the collecting elements. In  
addition, an arcing noise accompanied by a flickering of  
the indicating light may be noticed after washing the  
cells. Should this occur, allow more drying time. Also,  
see “Troubleshooting Chart”, for additional causes of  
arcing.  
4. Chain should be cut to allow the unit to hang from a  
predetermined height from the floor. (Usually 10-12  
feet).  
5. The unit is equipped with a locator dimple in each  
corner on the top and bottom and (1) each on the  
approximate mid point edge of the top and bottom..  
Using the dimples as a guide, drill (6) 19/32” dia.  
Holes that will be required for mounting the eye  
bolts, which are attached to the suspension chain.  
The louvers on the grill are adjustable so the direction of  
airflow can be controlled as desired.  
NOTE: The unit is equipped with an interlock switch for  
your safety. The unit will not operate if the cell access  
door is not closed securely.  
6. Screw a ½”-13 x 1-1/4” long eye bolt (or larger) in  
each hole. The T5200 unit is supplied with weld  
nuts at each dimple location.  
NOTE: The blower access door is not protected by an  
interlock switch. Do not attempt to operate the unit  
unless the door is fastened securely.  
7. Using 1/2” connecting links, attach unit to chain.  
Use turnbuckles on diagonally opposite chains.  
NOTE: Foul threads on turnbuckles after leveling  
unit to ensure that the turnbuckle will not "“back off"  
or loosen and cause the unit to fall.  
DUCTING APPLICATION  
The T5200 air cleaner is designed for free hanging  
applications or for limited duct system applications. The  
duct systems must be carefully designed to keep the  
external static pressure to a minimum while still moving  
the required amount of air. Some added static pressure  
can be overcome by adjusting the blower drive pulleys  
or using a more powerful motor. Capture hoods and  
duct design information may be obtained from the  
Industrial Ventilation Handbook or from your local Trion  
representative.  
8. The units can be suspended with the direction of  
airflow from the right to left. If a left to right airflow is  
desired, the unit may be flipped over and the  
eyehooks installed in what was originally the  
bottom.  
To maintain the selected cleaning efficiency, it is  
important to assure that the total air volume (capacity in  
CFM) is uniformly distributed across the entire face area  
of the unit. The metal mesh filters, perforated plate or  
mist suppressors; provide some resistance to effect  
even air distribution. However, since most air ducts are  
designed to handle air velocities greater than the rated  
velocity of the air cleaner, it is necessary to properly  
transition any attached ducting. If possible, a contraction  
ratio of 1 in 3 (approximately 20°) should be maintained.  
If space prohibits, turning vanes, air baffles or other  
means may be utilized. Ducting – where attached to the  
cabinet collars – should be gasketed, caulked or  
otherwise made watertight.  
III. INSTALLATION – READ THOROUGHLY  
1. Carefully unpack unit from shipping crate or carton  
and examine for damage in shipment.

IV. MAINTENANCE  
LIQUID AEROSOL APPLICATION  
INSTALLATIONS  
The following instructions are for use by qualified  
personnel.  
The unit is equipped with a sump, drain hole sized to  
accept a ½” NPT fitting.  
For the collection of liquid contaminant:  
WARNING  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
These serving 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 operating instructions unless you  
are qualified to do so.  
1. Install drain fitting to allow for the attachment of a  
liquid collection cup or drain hose. A drain fitting is  
available from your representative. An “S” trap is  
required in the drain hose to ensure proper drainage  
of the collected liquid.  
2. Raise the front corner of the unit, opposite of the  
drain corner, ½” to enable the collected liquid to flow  
to the drain sump.  
SAFETY NOTE:  
Factory designed access to all electrically charged  
high voltage components contain electrical  
interlocks for the safety of operating personnel. Any  
additional access that may be provided in the  
system, where there is access to high voltage, must  
be equipped with such interlocks. Interlocks are  
readily available from the factory.  
Contaminants to be collected – such as oils in vaporous  
state – must be condensed into particulate form prior to  
entering the ionizing-collecting cells in order to maintain  
the anticipated efficiency. Gases, vapors or any non-  
particulate cannot be precipitated and will therefore  
pass through the air cleaner. Any condensing that takes  
place downstream from the air cleaner defeats the  
purpose. Similarly, heavy concentrations of water vapor,  
or other matter that becomes highly conductive when  
condensed, must be prevented from entering and/or  
condensing in the collecting elements to prevent  
electrical arc over and shorting.  
Cleaning  
The pre-filters, ionizer/collector cells should be removed  
periodically and soaked in a solution of hot water and  
Trion Tridex detergent for 2 to 4 hours, rinsed  
thoroughly and then air dried completely before  
reinstalling in the unit.  
The frequency of cleaning is dependent on the type of  
contaminant being collected. Liquid aerosol requires  
less cleaning while welding smoke may require more  
frequent cleaning.  
The unit should be kept clean to maintain the maximum  
collection efficiency.  
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION  
All units must be wired directly in the junction box on the  
access door side of the unit. Use NEC Class I wiring  
methods. Size branch circuit protection in accordance  
with the NEC. Refer to the appropriate enclosed wiring  
diagram in the attached figures.  
Note: Trion Tridex Detergent is specially formulated  
for use with Trion electronic air cleaners. Use of  
other cleaners and detergents, not specifically  
approved by Trion, can cause possible failures in  
the unit and will void any and all warranties on our  
equipment.  
WARNING:  
EXERCISE ALL THE NORMAL PRECAUTIONS  
WHEN WORKING WITH HIGH VOLTAGE AND  
COMPLY WITH NEC AND ALL APPROPRIATE  
LOCAL CODES.  
Check Out for System Start-up  
When the installation has been completed, assure that  
the equipment is ready for start-up by checking the  
following:  
A. All construction debris is removed from the ionizing-  
collecting cells, drain connections and ductwork.  
B. The drain line from the Trion drain basin is clear and  
completely connected to its point of termination.  
C. Supply line power is available and electrical wiring  
is completed to the junction box.  
5
Belt tension should be checked periodically. When a  
moderate force is applied to the belt midway between  
the pulleys, the belt should deflect approximately ½ “.  
CAUTION  
Having too much tension on the belts will shorten  
the belt life and place undue stress on the motor  
and blower bearings.
