1. Install the air cleaner according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Install the GA51 on the common wire of the blower
motor as shown in the diagram.
3. Open the main power junction box on the side of
the furnace and run the leads of the GA51 relay
into the junction box.
4. Connect the leads of the
GA51 relay in series with
one of the electronic air
cleaner leads. Connect the
remaining lead and ground
wire. The 120 VAC source
must be independent of
the furnace blower motor.
5. Check all wire connections, close junction box
and restore furnace to working order. Test proper
functioning by observing that the air cleaner’s
indicator lamp turns on when the blower runs and
turns off when the blower stops.

1. Replace all safety devices.
2. Reconnect power to furnace.
3. Activate furnace blower motor.
4. Check load for operation. It should now be working properly. Check
indicating lamp or other conditions showing that the load is receiving
power.
5. Switch off the blower unit. The power to the device should shut off.
6. If the device is activated properly and turns off when the power
through the common wire is removed, installation is complete.
7. If the device is not powered when the blower is turned on:
• Ensure the device’s power switch is in the “ON” position.
• Recheck all wiring.
• Check line fuses.
• Confirm that five or more amps is flowing through the control wire.
Wrap additional turns around the bracket if necessary.
