GPS-iRIB-18 Air Ionization System Instruction Manual

GPS-iRIB-18 Air Ionization System

Product Information

This product is a Ductless Mini-Split and PTAC ion device designed to improve air quality. It comes with a GPS-iRIB (ionization strip) that needs to be mounted on the air handling unit (AHU). The product is powered by a separate power supply that needs to be installed within the unit. The AHU should be properly installed and all local and national electrical and building codes should be followed.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Turn off the power to the AHU before starting the installation process.
2. Remove the filter screens and the cover of the AHU to expose the coil surface and the power box.
3. Determine the desired location to mount the GPS-iRIB on the AHU.
4. Peel off the loop section from the GPS-iRIB and then peel off the paper layer to expose the adhesive.
5. Attach the adhesive backed loop on the AHU at the desired location. If the AHU has a plastic strip along the top of the coil, mount the GPS-iRIB to that strip. Otherwise, mount it on the finned surface
6. Ensure that the emitter tips of the GPS-iRIB are kept away from loose wires or any grounded parts.
7. Find an appropriate space within the AHU to mount the power supply using the included hook and loop tape. Press it firmly to secure it in place.
8. Run the wires to the electrical compartment of the AHU. Connect the black wire to 100-240VAC and the white wire to neutral. For 208-240VAC installations, connect the white wire to the other hot leg.
9. Trim the wires to length and connect them to the appropriate power terminals (L1 and L2). Secure the wires properly with wire ties or other NEC approved methods
10. Once the installation is complete, turn on the power to the AHU.

Operation:

1. The ion device will be powered when power is applied to the AHU. It is designed to remain energized 24/7 and does not have to cycle with the fan.
2. Once the unit is energized, the integral LED on the power pack will illuminate, indicating that the unit is active.

BAS Alarm Operation:

1. The purple wires connect to the integral alarm relay. When the unit is powered and there are no faults, the alarm contacts will be closed. When there is a fault, the contact will open.

Maintenance:

1. Before performing any maintenance, remove power from the AHU and ensure that the iRIB power supply LED is not illuminated. Discharge any remaining voltage by touching a carbon fiber brush brass connector on one side to another on the opposite side using a screwdriver with an insulated handle.
2. Clean the iRIB using a wet wipe or damp cloth. A soft bristle brush, like a toothbrush, can also be used to clean debris from ion emitters. Avoid using corrosive cleaners on the iRIB.

Thank you for purchasing a GPS-iRIB® air ionization system from GPS Air. The GPS-iRIB is a highly versatile device designed to be installed on the coiling coil of ductless systems or PTACs. The units can be installed on systems where there may not be enough room between the filter and the coil for traditional GPS products. The units come with adhe-sive-backed hook and loop tape for ease of installation.

As part of the installation process, a Startup Document should be completed. For the latest version of the document, visit our website or utilize the QR code.

Mounting and Wiring Instruction

Ductless Mini-Split and PTAC Mounting and Wiring Instruction

1. Turn off the power to the air handling unit (AHU). Follow all local and national electrical and building codes.

2. Remove the filter screens and the cover to expose the coil surface and the power box.

3. Determine where you want to mount the ionization strip on the AHU.

4. Peel off the loop section from the GPS-iRIB and then peel off the paper layer to expose the adhesive.

5. Carefully attached the adhesive backed loop on the AHU at the desired location. Some mini split systems come with a plastic strip along the top of the coil. If so, mount the GPS-iRIB to the plastic strip. Otherwise mount the GPS-iRIB on the finned surface. See FIGURE 1.
   CAUTION: Keep the emitter tips away from loose wires or any grounded parts.
   CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS DISCONNECTED TO THE HVAC EQUIPMENT BEFORE INSTALLATION

6. Each AHU brand will have different space constraints for the power supply. Find an appropriate space to mount the power supply using the included hook and loop tape. Press the power supply firmly to the mount-ing location. See FIGURE 1.

7. Run the wires to the electrical compartment. Connect the black wire to 100-240VAC and the white wire to neutral. For 208-240VAC installations, connect the white wire to the other hot leg, depending on the power supplied.

8. Trim the wires to length and connect to the appropriate power terminals, normally L1 and L2. Secure wires properly with wire ties or other NEC approved methods.

Operation

1. Turn on power to the AHU.
2. The ion device will be powered when power is applied to the AHU. Note: the ion device is designed to remain energized 24/7 and does not have to cycle with the fan.
3. Once unit is energized, the integral LED on the power pack will illuminate, indicating the unit is active.

BAS Alarm Operation

1. The purple wires connect to the integral alarm relay. When the unit is powered and there are no faults, the alarm contacts will be closed. When there is a fault, the contact will open.

Maintenance

1.  Remove power from the AHU and remove the required parts to access the iRIB. Confirm the iRIB power supply LED is not illuminated. It is good practice to ensure all voltage is removed from the iRIB. Take a screw-driver with insulated handle and touch a carbon fiber brush brass connector on one side to another on the opposite side. This will discharge any remaining voltage that could cause a potential shock hazard during maintenance.
2. Use a wet wipe or damp cloth to clean the iRIB. A soft bristle brush, like a toothbrush, can also be used to clean debris from ion emitters. Do not expose the iRIB to corrosive cleaners.

Note:
In order to prevent damage to the emitter tape, the should note be folded over onto itself.
An iRIB-18 should be fitted to a coil/substrate that is continuous and at least 18” long. Where the coil/substrate exceeds 18”, the polyimide tape emitter portion of the iRIB should be centralized on the substrate it is to be attached to.
An iRIB-36 should be fitted to a coil/substrate that is continuous and at least 36” long. Where the coil/substrate exceeds 36”, the polyimide tape emitter portion of the iRIB should be centralized on the substrate it is to be attached to.
