MOUNTING REAR HOUSING AND MAIN ASSEMBLY

Test the electrical outlet box first to ensure rated power requirements are met before beginning installation.
Remove air purifier from its shipping carton and remove all packing material.

Place the air purifier face up on a flat, stable work surface. Open the access panel by pressing in latches on each side of the unit (Fig 3).AERAMAX AM3

At the location of the two upper housing screws (Fig 5), insert a flat head screwdriver and gently twist to the release tab as shown in Fig 7. This will disconnect the main housing
assembly from the rear housing assembly. AERAMAX AM3 PRO Air Quality Control
System fig 2

Disconnect the main housing assembly from the rear housing assembly. Separate the main housing from the rear housing. Lift main housing assembly away from rear mounting housing (Fig 8).

REAR HOUSING INSTALLATION & WIRING
Reference rear housing and locate desired mounting location. Again, it is strongly recommended at least 2 mounting anchors for the air purifier be mounted to an existing stud.

Using provided template ensure the electrical outlet box is located behind cable hole (A) in the Rear Housing assembly (Fig 9). Drill holes and place anchors in the wall. If mounting on concrete, cinder block or brick-type walls route the wires through the “punch-out” hole marked (B) in Fig 9

Check for washers at all mounting screw locations (Fig 10). Pull wires from the electrical outlet box through the hole in the rear housing. Align housing over anchors and securely install all mounting screws.AERAMAX AM3 PRO Air
Quality Control System fig 6

Attach wires from the electrical outlet box to wires located inside the rear housing using wire nuts. Match up line (black) and neutral (white) wires (Fig 11). Make sure
all connections are made in accordance with federal, state and local codes and regulations.

MAIN ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid the risk of electrocution confirm the electrical supply has been disconnected or switched off before continuing any installation work.
AERAMAX AM3 PRO Air Quality Control System fig 7The power connector (B, in Fig 12) will carry power from the rear housing to the main housing once the assemblies are fully seated. The main assembly will attach to the rear housing assembly by the four screws previously removed (Fig 5 & 6). Two snap hooks (A, in Fig 12) will hold the main and rear assemblies together until the screws can be installed.AERAMAX

Carefully align the main assembly with the rear housing assembly. Slowly press into place until the snap is heard, and there is no gap between the assemblies (Fig 13). The unit should now support its own weight.AERAMAX AM3 PRO Air

Install four screws (previously removed) to secure main assembly to the rear housing assembly (Fig 14 & 15).

RE-INSTALLING FILTERS
