Reading the Filter Life Indicator

Install a ViroSafe Filter into the system per the installation instructions contained in this operator’s manual. When the system is initially turned on, the filter life indicator will light up all the GREEN, AMBER, and RED LED’s. This indicates full filter life. The amber LED indicates that 10-20 minutes of filter life remains. The indicator LED’s will turn off one at a time until the red indicator light blinks indicating the life of the filter is exhausted. After the appropriate time has elapsed, the RED LED indicator will blink to indicate that the filter has expended its useful life and requires replacement. Each filter life led represents 10 minutes of filter life (60 minutes total).

•CIRCUIT BREAKER (Rear Panel)

Two 15 AMP circuit breakers are located on the rear of the system. They electrically protect both the system and the operator from damage or injury. If the system is overheated or if there is an electrical surge in the facility, the circuit breaker will “trip” and the system will not operate. To re-start the system, depress the circuit breaker back into its original position.
