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. Typical Return to Return Application For homes with horizontal forced air handler/furnace systems. (Air handler/furnace is shown in an typical attic. See figure 7.
PAGE 9
Dealer Installation Instructions Forced air handler/furnace system with an HRV/ERV This application provides filtration of all Outdoor Air (OA) that is brought into the home through the HRV/ERV, thus reducing the introduction of dust, pollen and mold from the outdoor air. For systems that have HRV/ERV units installed, we recommend ducting the ‘fresh air’ outflow from the HRV/ERV into the HEPA system.
PAGE 10
Dealer Installation Instructions Independent Operation: The HEPA systems can be used independently of any other equipment! The intake and outflow of the filtration system can be ducted into the same room to create a cleaner environment almost anywhere. The intake or outflow can also be ducted elsewhere. The intake and outflow should be installed on opposite sides of the room; however, this varies according to your specific needs.
PAGE 11
Operation (8500, 10,000 & AWW Units with on/off toggle switch) 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. 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. For units with a n on/off toggle switch, press the switch to the ‘on’ (1) position. 4.

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. Filter Changing Guidelines Pre-Filter: Dust and other large particles will collect on the pre-filter over time.
