LG Bipolar Ionizer Kit

Product Usage Instructions

Installation

1. Ensure that the installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance is performed by a licensed professional installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
2. Check the shipping package for any damage. If there is shipping damage, contact the last carrier immediately.
3. Handle the equipment with care to avoid personal injury. Wear gloves and protective clothing when handling sharp sheet metal edges.
4. Refer to the provided wiring diagram for proper installation.
5. Secure the bipolar ionizer assembly using the provided #10-16 x 5/8 sheet metal screws.
6. For models 156-300, use the screw-in wire ties, wire tie, and edge protectors as instructed in the packaging.
7. Connect the power harness (only for LGH/LCH/KG/KC/KH 024-300 units).
8. Attach the warning label as instructed.

General Usage

The Bipolar Ionizer is designed to integrate with system controls for effective air cleaning. It produces both positive and negative ions, which have been shown to reduce harmful pathogens, pollutants, and odors in the airstream. The ions are dispersed into the occupied space through the duct system, proactively reducing airborne contaminants.

Application

• The Needlepoint Bipolar Ionizer (NBPI) kit is specifically designed for LG/LC/LH/LD/KG/KC/KH 024-300 units. The ionizer is equipped with dry contacts that allow a Building Automation System (BAS) to interface and indicate ionizer functionality.
• Note: Units equipped with M4 Unit Controllers can be monitored by the BAS. Units with an M3 Unit Controller or no controller need to be connected to a separate monitoring system.
• The Ionizers are also equipped with a green LED that indicates power is on. When the blower is in operation, power is delivered to the Ionizers and ions are generated.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, serviceor maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a licensed professional installer (or equivalent), service agency or the gas supplier.

General

The Bipolar Ionizer integrates with system controls for effective air cleaning. The brush-type ionizer produces both positive and negative ions. Ionization has been shown to effectively reduce harmful pathogens, pollutants and odors by the introduction of these positive and negative ions into the airstream. These Ions are dispersed into the occupied space through the duct system proactively reducing airborne contaminants.

Application

The Needlepoint Bipolar Ionizer (NBPI) kit is specifically designed for LG/LC/LH/LD/KG/KC/KH 024-300 units. The ionizer is equipped with dry contacts which allow a Building Automation System (BAS) to interface and indicate ionizer functionality.

Note:  The BAS will be able to monitor units equipped with M4 Unit Controllers only. Units with an M3 Unit Controller or no controller need to be connected to a separate monitoring system. The Ionizers are also equipped with a green LED which indicates power is on. When the blower is in operation, power is delivered to the Ionizers and ions are generated.

See table 1 for unit application

WARNING: To prevent serious injury or death:

1. Lock-out/tag-out before performing maintenance.
2. If system power is required (e.g., smoke detector maintenance), disable power to blower, remove fan belt where applicable, and ensure all controllers and thermostatsare set to the “OFF” position before performing maintenance.
3. Always keep hands, hair, clothing, jewelry, tools, etc., away from moving parts.
