2. The Filter System  
Eliminator SE Series  
Section I – Design  
1. Introduction  
There are two filters in your air cleaner -  
THE PRE-FILTER: This is the mechanical  
filter that lies behind the inlet grill. It is  
designed to remove large particles and can be  
washed many times before replacement.  
The Trion Eliminator SE400E & SE800E are  
commercial air purifiers that have been  
specifically designed to remove airborne  
pollutants - including tobacco smoke, dust,  
pollen and mold spores - in rooms and areas  
where people work or relax. They are  
designed to be mounted onto a solid ceiling,  
semi-recessed for into a suspended ceiling, or  
wall mounted (SE400E only). Where  
appropriate they can also draw in additional  
fresh air.  
THE ELECTROSTATIC FILTER: This is the  
deep aluminum assembly (Collector Cell)  
located immediately behind the pre-filter and  
is the heart of your air cleaner. It uses an  
electrostatic charge to remove particles so  
small that it would take a pile of many millions  
to cover a pinhead. When dirty it can be  
washed and reused indefinitely.  
FILTER REMOVAL  
Their features make them the ideal air purifier  
for installations into areas such as offices,  
conference rooms, restaurants, designated  
smoking areas, institutions and waiting rooms  
or any other place where people gather.  
TRION SE400E  
Turn the control switch off before removing cell.  
Press the two cell access latches and the hinged  
door will swing down. Remove pre-filter by turning  
pre-filter clip 90 degrees (fig 2). While supporting  
the weight of the Collector Cell, loosen the filter  
retaining screw (fig 3). The filter retaining plate will  
now open allowing the filter to be removed (fig 4).  
To reinstall the filter, simply reverse above  
procedure.  
HOW THEY WORK  
The Trion SE400E & SE800E utilize the  
principle of Electrostatic Precipitation. Air is  
drawn into the intake, through the metal  
prefilter, which traps lint and large dust  
TRION SE800E  
particles. The remaining particles, some as  
small as 0.01 microns*, pass into a strong  
electrical field (ionizing section) where the  
particles receive an electrical charge. The  
charged particles pass onto a series of equally  
spaced parallel plates (collector section). Each  
alternate plate is charged with the same  
polarity as the particles, which are repelled,  
while the interleaving plates are grounded, and  
therefore attract and collect the particles.  
The two hinged access doors are secured with  
retaining screws (fig 3). Release screws to  
allow the doors to swing down. Remove the  
Collector Cells as described above.  
INSTALLATION LOCATION  
The most effective location for the air purifier is  
the center of the area to be cleaned because  
the dirty air is pulled into the center of the unit  
and discharged equally out the four sides. If  
more than one unit is required, space them  
evenly over the area to be cleaned.  
* The diameter of a human hair is about 100  
micron!

Section II – Installation  
1. INSTALLATION  
SOLID CEILNG MOUNTING  
To mount the unit to a solid ceiling, proceed  
as follows:  
a) Unpack the unit, open filter access door  
and remove prefilter and cell (see filter  
removal in section 2).  
b) Select a location near the center of the  
area to be cleaned. lf you are fitting to  
wooden ceiling joists, locate the position  
of joists.  
CAUTION:  
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANERS  
CANNOT BE USED IN AREAS WHERE  
COMBUSTIBLE GASES OR VAPORS  
ARE PRESENT.  
MECHANICAL  
c) Using the template provided, drill four  
holes into the ceiling and fit four 5/16 lag  
screws in the joists. Hex-headed screws  
will give easier access for final tightening.  
Do not tighten fully home.  
d) Lift the unit to where the large end of the  
keyhole slots in the top of the cabinet fit  
over the screw heads. Slide the unit so  
that the narrow ends of the mounting  
slots are located under the screw heads.  
Tighten the screws fully home.  
The unit has been designed so that it can fit  
either surface mounted onto the ceiling,  
semi-recessed into a T-Bar suspended  
ceiling or wall mounted (SE400E only).  
When installed with a T-Bar suspended  
ceiling NEVER support the unit from the T-  
Bars, the unit must be supported from the  
permanent ceiling.  
SUSPENDED CEILING INSTALLATION  
To hang the unit into a suspended ceiling,  
proceed as follows:  
a) Unpack the unit, open filter access door  
and remove prefilter and cell (see filter  
removal in section 2).  
e) Install the lockdown location screw as  
shown on template.  
f) Make electrical connections as detailed in  
next section.  
b) Install ¼-20 eyebolts into mounting slots  
with large diameter washers and lock-nuts as  
shown in sketch A. Alternatively, use drop  
rods.  
g) Re-install cell and pre-filter.  
h) Close access door and unit is ready for  
operation.  
c) Install trim as shown in sketch A.  
d) Select and remove a ceiling tile near the  
center of the area to be cleaned by the unit.  
e) Attach a length of safety chain to each of  
the four eyebolts or fit threaded rod. Fasten  
securely.  
WALL MOUNTED (SE400E Only)  
Filter removal will be simpler if the unit is  
positioned with the access door hinge in a  
vertical plane. Locate the wall studs and  
follow the mounting instructions for SOLID  
CEILING MOUNTING.  
f) Lift unit into place and support unit while  
securing to permanent ceiling, ceiling  
joists, etc. See sketch A.  
ELECTRICAL:WARNING:  
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED.  
CAUTION:  
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE  
INSTALLER TO ENSURE ADEQUATE  
MOUNTING COMPONENTS ARE USED.  
NOTE: This unit is designed to be  
permanently connected to fixed  
wiring. Installation must comply with  
all applicable electrical codes.  
DO NOT ALLOW WEIGHT OF UNIT TO  
REST ON SUSPENDED CEILING  
SUPPORT RAILS.

Hard wired remote control  
Two sets of wiring are required to connect  
the unit. Main power to the unit is 120V,  
60Hz, 1Ph, rated 5 Amp - Live, Neutral and  
Ground. A 5-conductor 5 Amp rated cable is  
required from the unit to remote control.  
Run the 5-conductor cable and the main  
power connection through the cable entry  
knockouts (see Fig. 5) in the cabinet and  
connect to the input terminal block (Fig. 6) as  
shown in the wiring diagram on page 10 and  
11. Mount the remote control in the desired  
position and connect the 5-conductor cable  
leads to the numbered terminals as shown in  
the wiring diagram.  
OPTIONAL INFRARED CONTROL  
Main power to the unit is 120V, 60Hz, 1Ph,  
rated 5 Amp - Live, Neutral and Ground. To  
install, follow the instructions included with  
the infrared control kit.

Section III – Service and Maintenance  
1. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE  
Beyond an occasional wipe down with a damp  
cloth, the units need little in the way of  
maintenance.  
However, the units are designed to collect  
airborne dirt and from time to time will require  
routine servicing to remove the accumulation.  
The service interval varies considerably between  
applications, but typically will range from six  
weeks in a busy bar up to several months in a  
quiet office.  
During normal operation, the unit will make an  
occasional snapping noise. This is caused by  
large pieces of dirt accumulating on the electronic  
filter and is not dangerous. The Trion SE400E &  
SE800E units have anti-arcing circuitry to  
eliminate the nuisance of constant arcing. If,  
however, the arcing occurs every minute or two, it  
is an indication that the unit needs cleaning.  
When a service is due proceed as follows:  
a) Remove pre-filter and either vacuum clean it or  
wash as described below.  
b) To clean the electronic filter, soak it in a hot  
(not boiling), a strong non-caustic detergent  
solution cleaner.  
Trion can supply an excellent detergent- TriDex-  
obtainable through your Dealer. Alternatively, a  
dishwasher detergent does an excellent job.  
Soak the collector cell for several hours, then  
rinse with clean water. Do not physically try to rub  
the dirt off since this can cause damage to the  
filter.  
c) Allow the filter to dry thoroughly - preferably  
overnight- and replace into the unit or alternatively  
use force air dry setting on the unit.  
Trion has a policy of continuous product  
improvement, and reserves the right to make  
changes in design and specification without  
notice.
