Packaging
1 each: 4900-10
Installation
The iWave-C is designed for metal duct mounting applications. The preferred mounting location is after a prefilter and before the cooling coil. An alternate mounting location is the supply air duct or the return air duct. The weatherproof housing will allow mounting indoor or outdoor.
Step 1. Turn power off to the unit.
Step 2. After finding the appropriate location, cut or drill a 4 inch
(100mm) round hole. Insert the unit into the 4 inch (100mm) round hole and
secure with four self tapping screws provided. Please note, if the unit is
being mounted to duct board, the included spring loaded wing nuts and bolts
will be required.
Wiring
Confirm power is off prior to wiring. Follow all local and national electric,
mechanical and building codes when installing and wiring. The iWave-C can be
powered with any voltage from 24VAC to 240VAC. The face panel of the unit is
labeled showing which terminals are 24VAC to 240VAC input, neutral, ground and
alarm wires and come prewired from the factory. Opening the unit is not
necessary for installation. The unit is provided with 6 feet of liquid-tight
flex conduit to reach a junction box for wiring. The wires are color coded as
follows:
- Black wire: 24-240VAC input
- White wire: Neutral
- Green wire: Ground
- Purple wires: Alarm Dry Contact
The unit is provided with alarm contacts for use with a building management
system. When the unit is powered and there are no faults, the alarm “dry”
contacts will be closed, providing continuity. The contacts are rated up to
250VAC at 1A.
CAUTION! NEVER TOUCH BRUSHES WHILE OPERATING. SHOCK MAY OCCUR. DO NOT CONNECT
WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.
Operation
Once powered, the unit initiates an internal check of all systems. After initializing, the display will blink between
ALARM RELAY WIRING EXAMPLE
Remote mounted LED will illuminate when the iWave-C is powered and there are no faults. All remote mount wiring, LED, wire nuts and voltage source are provided, mounted and wired by others.

“On”, “GPS” and the number of days the unit has been powered. If there is a
fault, the unit display will show “FALT”.
Cleaning Cycle — The iWave-C comes with a preset cleaning cycle designed to
clean the brushes every 5 days. At any time, the cleaning cycle test button on
the front panel may be pushed and the unit will initiate a cleaning cycle.
While the cleaning cycle is engaged, the display will change to “CLEA”. To
change the cycle frequency, hold the cleaning cycle button in for 5 seconds
once the display shows “CLEA” and then press it until you see the number of
days you want it to wait between cycles, 1, 5, 10 and 20. Most applications
will never require reprogramming.
Maintenance
The iWave-C is designed to be maintenance free for years of trouble-free operation with the patent pending self-cleaning system; eliminating the need to replace expensive UV lights/cells every couple of years as with competing technologies. Although extensively tested for durability, it’s possible over years of self-cleaning cycles, the carbon fiber brushes can wear from friction and require replacement. With the unit powered off, remove the iWave-C from the duct. Remove the two Phillips screws that fasten the brushes to the iWave-C. Pull the brushes out of the electrical connector and insert new brushes (available through Nu-Calgon). Replace the Phillips screws and attach the iWave-C into the duct and re-energize the device to initiate normal operation.
Troubleshooting
- Problem
- Unit won’t power up Display shows “FALT”
- No Display / LED
Solution
Confirm proper voltage is applied and to the correct terminal
Remove power, wait one minute and reapply power. If “FALT” still appears, try
using alternate power source, i.e. low voltage input versus high voltage input
or vice versa. If FALT still shows, call Nu-Calgon.
If the correct voltage source has been confirmed and the unit does not power up contact Nu-Calgon.
In rare occasions, small amounts of water can accumulate behind the face plate. To remove this water, you can remove the face plate entirely using the four screws. Be sure to replace the face plate prior to entering the unit back into service. You can also drill a small pilot hole using a 3/16” bit at the bottom of the plastic face plate as a drain for this water.
