Dealer Installation Instructions

Forced air handler/furnace systems:

The HEPA system should be installed as a bypass system, with part of the return ducted into the HEPA system. The filtered air is then rerouted back into the return air, and continues through the system to be heated/cooled.

NOTE: This filtration system is an ADDITIONAL filter, and does NOT replace the existing air handler/furnace system filter.

Preparation:

Here are some things to consider as you decide where to install the HEPA system.

Location:

Make sure there is room to open the HEPA filter access panel for filter changes/inspections.

Keep the HEPA system in a location where you can still access the air handler/furnace filter.

Keep the HEPA system away from possible water damage.

Vibration pads will reduce vibration for installations where the unit is placed on the floor.

Install HEPA System on floor or suspended platform. If the unit is suspended, screws must not penetrate through the cabinet. Make sure that you have the proper chains/straps/joists and equipment to keep unit secure.

Intake (Marked as ‘Air In’ on unit):

Intake ducts should be installed upstream of any humidifiers and be installed on the main return.

Intake duct should be installed at least 6 ft. away from the outflow duct on the main return.

Outflow (Marked as ‘Clean Air Out’ on unit):

Outflow duct should be installed as close to the air handler/furnace inlet as possible but not directly into the return air elbow of the main return.

If the unit is being installed independently of any other system, room diffusers are recommended to help distribute airflow evenly in the occupied space.

Ducting:

If HEPA system is installed where inlet and outflow collars face down, metal elbows must be connected to both inlet and outflow collars.

Each connection must be sealed with aluminum tape or mastic, including all take offs.

Installed duct runs should be as straight as possi- ble (if the duct runs are too long, reduced CFM may result).

If duct is exposed to unconditioned air, externally insulated flex duct is highly recommended.

Externally insulated flex duct can also be used for noise reduction purposes.

For best indoor air quality, do not use ductboard or fiberglass inside of ducts.

Electricity:

The unit must be plugged into a grounded 120V, 60Hz outlet.

2500HV, 6000V, 8500 & 10000, 6500, 4000HV specifications

The Americair series, including the models 4000V, 8500, 10000, 6500, and 5000V, represents a significant advancement in air purification technology. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, these units are engineered to enhance indoor air quality while ensuring maximum efficiency and user convenience.

One of the standout features across these models is the use of advanced HEPA filtration system. HEPA filters are designed to capture at least 99.97% of airborne particles, including dust, pollen, smoke, and other allergens, down to 0.3 microns in size. This capability is crucial for environments that demand stringent air quality standards, such as hospitals, schools, and offices.

The Americair 4000V model is tailored for smaller spaces, yet it packs a powerful punch with a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) that ensures rapid air cleaning. It's particularly suited for rooms up to 400 square feet, making it ideal for small businesses and home offices. The user-friendly interface allows for easy adjustments, and the lightweight design ensures portability.

Moving up in capacity, the Americair 5000V and 6500 models cater to medium-sized rooms, providing enhanced CADR levels. These units incorporate smart technology, allowing for app connectivity, enabling users to monitor air quality in real time and receive notifications for filter changes.

The Americair 8500 and 10000 models are designed for larger spaces such as auditoriums and open-plan offices. With high-performance motors and multi-stage filtration systems, these models not only purify the air but also circulate it efficiently. Additionally, they come equipped with UV-C light technology, which works to eliminate germs and bacteria, enhancing health safety in populated areas.

All models feature energy-efficient designs, ensuring they consume less power while maintaining high performance levels. Noise reduction technology is also integrated, making these units operate quietly, an essential factor for environments requiring minimal disruption.

In conclusion, the Americair series stands out with its combination of powerful filtration, energy efficiency, and user-friendly technology. Whether for a small office or a large industrial space, these models provide versatile solutions for improving indoor air quality, promoting a healthier environment for all.
