Americair 2500HV Operation, Maintenance, Risk of Sharp Edges Hazard, Electrical Shock Hazard

Operation

1.Make sure that the unit is plugged into a grounded outflow (120 Volt, 60 Hz).

2.For optimum performance, the HEPA system should operate when the indoor air handler/furnace blower is on.

3.For model 2500HV & 4000HV: Turn the unit on by pressing the on/off switch to the ‘1’ position. The switch should light up when the unit is on.

For models 6000V, 6500, 8500 & 10000: Turn the unit on by rotating the variable speed dial clockwise. The unit starts in High speed, turn all the way clockwise for low speed.

4.For model 2500HV & 4000HV: To turn the unit off, press the on/off switch to the ‘0’ position. The switch light should turn off when the unit is off.

For models 6000V, 6500, 8500 & 10000: To turn the unit off, rotate the variable speed dial counter-clock- wise until you feel or hear it click into the ‘off’ position

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance of your HEPA system will ensure years of service. The unit must be turned off during service/maintenance or when filters are being changed.

It is recommended that gloves and a filtered breathing mask be worn during filter replacement.

!WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Can cause injury or death.

Disconnect all electrical power supplies before servicing.

Do not operate equipment without access panels in place

!CAUTION

Risk of Sharp Edges Hazard.

Equipment sharp edges can cause injuries.

Avoid grasping equipment edges without protective gloves.

Filter Change Schedule

Note: Note: Failure to properly maintain your HEPA system will decrease the efficiency and air flow.

Pre-Filter:3 to 4 months*

HEPA Filter: 2 to 5 years

Inner Carbon Filter: 6 months

Optional Carbon Canister: 12 months

*Foam pre-filters (4000HV & 6000V) can be washed and reused

NOTE: Filter life is based on average air content. Some filters may need to be changed more often due to higher amounts of dust, humidity, or chemicals found in your ambient air. Additionally, people who are more sensitive to these airborne contaminates may desire more frequent filter changes.

Filter Changing Guidelines

Pre-Filter:

Dust and other large particles will collect on the pre-fil- ter over time. The color of the filter will change as par- ticulates build up on the pre-filter. Change the pre-fil- ter when you can see the particulate build up start to clog up the pre-filter.

HEPA Filter:

As the HEPA filter captures particulates, it will darken over time. Replace the HEPA filter when it darkens to the level seen in example D.

A. New B. Used C. Used D. Replace

Inner Carbon Filter:

The inner carbon filter will rarely look used. This filter captures odors and gasses, yet the filter’s appearance will not change. When this filter has reached it’s maxi- mum adsorbancy of odors and gasses, it will no longer work. Replace this filter when it no longer seems to capture odors, or every 3 months (12 months for optional Carbon Canister), which ever occurs first.
