- Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the product is suitable for your application.
- The installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
- After installation is complete, check out the product operation as provided in these instructions.
Mount Transformer
- Open access door.
- Remove and retain the two screws from the front of the power box.
- Lift and remove the power box.
- Remove and retain the two screws from the sides of the power box. See Fig. 1.
- Remove the power box cover.
- Place the transformer on the mounting holes. See Fig. 2.
- Remove the black wire from the power supply P1 terminal and place it on one of the transformer terminals.
- Connect the transformer black lead to the power supply P1 terminal.
- Remove the brown wire from the power supply P2 terminal and place it on the empty transformer terminal.
- Connect the transformer’s brown lead to the power supply P2 terminal. See Fig. 3 for the internal schematic of the electronic air cleaner with conversion kit.
Change Plug to Conduit
Disconnect power before installing the replacement power supply board.
- In the power box, remove and retain two wire nuts that connect the line cord leads to the power box wiring.
- Remove the power green lead from the green grounding screw on the wiring compartment barrier.
- Remove the power cord and the strain relief.
- Put the provided plug in the hole left by the power cord.
Complete Wiring
- Attach conduit through a power box side knockout.
- Wire the air cleaner directly to the line voltage using wire nuts. See Fig. 3. Secure ground connection to the green ground screw on the wiring compartment barrier.
- Replace the opowersupply box, cover, and access door.
- INTERLOCK SWITCH.
- OUTPUT REDUCTION JUMPER.
- AIRFLOW SWITCH DISABLE JUMPER.
- RESISTOR FOR W8600 WASH INDICATION THRESHOLD.
- ONE-CELL UNIT SIMILAR, BUT WITH JUST ONE CELL.
- POWER SUPPLY. PROVIDE DISCONNECT MEANS AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION AS REQUIRED.

The following procedures expose hazardous live parts. Disconnect from the power supply between checks and proceed carefully. These instructions are for use by only qualified personnel.
- With all components in place, connect power to the air cleaner.
- Turn on the air cleaner switch to energize the system blower. Check the following points of operation:
- The neon light next to the on-off switch is on. If a W8600E is part of the installation, check the wall panel and make sure the ON LED is lit. The W8600E CHECK LED will come on if there is a problem with the high-voltage power supply.
- Turn off the system blower. The neon light should go off after a few seconds. Turn on the system blower. With the air cleaner energized, push the test button. A snapping sound indicates that the collector voltage is present on the cell. The W8600E CHECK LED will come on when the test button is held down.
- With a multispeed blower, repeat steps 1 through 3 for each fan speed.
- If the operation is not as described, refer to the Electrical Troubleshooting section.
Troubleshooting
The following procedures expose hazardous live parts. Disconnect from the power supply between checks and proceed carefully. These instructions are for use by only qualified personnel.
Tools and Equipment
- Troubleshooting the electronic air cleaner requires
- Needle-nose pliers for stringing ionizer wires and inserting edge connectors.
- Test meter.
Neon light
- The neon light is powered through the power supply and is on when the power supply output voltage is normal.
Test Buttons
- When pushed, the test button shorts from collector voltage to ground. The resulting arcing sound indicates that high voltage is being supplied to the collector.
- The solid-state power supply controls current flow to the collector. On air cleaners with a W8600E, the CHECK LED will come on when the test button is held down.
Check LED
The CHECK LED is on the W8600E. It lights to indicate the following problems: excessive dirt loading (beyond that required to activate the WASH LED), partial shorting of the collector, continuous ionizer or collector arcing, power supply failure, excessive ionizer current, or any condition causing a major reduction in high voltage.
Power Box
Always turn off the power and remove the access door before removing the power supply or its cover. The solid-state power supply within the power supply box can be replaced.
When troubleshooting indicates a power supply or solid-state performance indicator problem, replace the entire power box or replace the power supply within the box.
The electronic air cleaner troubleshooting chart shows how to quickly isolate a problem in the air cleaner. Although a meter is needed for some steps, the primary diagnostic tools are the neon light and the test button. Resideo Inc., 1985 Douglas Drive North, Golden Valley, MN 55422 69-0769—02 M.S.

FAQs
Q: The Honeywell 203365A Electronic Air Cleaner: What is it used for?
Ans: As the air travels through your HVAC system, the Honeywell 203365A whole-house electronic air cleaner eliminates airborne contaminants like smoke, pollen, mold spores, dust, and pet dander.
Q: How frequently should the electrical cells be cleaned?
Ans: You might need to clean them more frequently if you live in a dusty region, have pets, or use the HVAC system constantly.
Q: Can I use a dishwasher to clean the electronic cells?
Ans: Before reinstalling, let the cells dry completely using a moderate cycle.
Q: There is a popping or snapping sound coming from the air cleaner. Is this typical?
Ans: Indeed, it is typical to hear sporadic popping or snapping noises, which signify that the electrical cells are ionizing particles.
Q: Is it possible to operate the Honeywell 203365A without my air conditioner running?
Ans: The air cleaner draws air through the filtering system using the airflow from your HVAC system.
Q: Can the Honeywell 203365A be used without my air conditioner running?
Ans: Using the airflow from your HVAC system, the air cleaner pulls air through the filtering system.
Q: Will gases or odors be eliminated by this unit?
Ans: Consider using it in conjunction with a carbon filter or an odor-control air purification system to eliminate smells or volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Q: Is expert installation necessary?
Ans: It guarantees secure fitment, appropriate electrical connections, and adequate airflow, all essential for optimum performance.
