5 INSTALLATION The Fan Powered HEPA unit is fully assembled from the factory with the exception of the HEPA filter which is shipped separately. Step 1 -- Step 2 -- Step 3 -- Step 4 -- Step 5 -- Carefully remove the unit from the shipping carton and inspect for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If shipping damage is found, do not install. Call the manufacturer to report damage. Wipe down unit to remove shipping dust and debris. Raise unit into ceiling and lower onto gasketed opening. Gasket should be a closed-cell material approved for the environmental conditions. It is recommended to further support the unit from above using the tabs welded to the plenum. A qualified technician should wire the unit to a 110-120VAC power supply per applicable codes and standards. Refer to the wiring diagram (Figure 4) on page 15 of these instructions. Install the HEPA filter per the Removal and Replacement of the HEPA Filter with Gel Seal section on page 7.
6 Cleaning the Fan Powered HEPA Unit Prefilter WARNING! Disconnect the unit from the electrical power source before attempting to service the unit. Tools required: Phillips screw driver Note: For maximum performance, wash prefilter every three to six months at minimum. Step 1 -- Step 2 -- Step 3 -- Step 4 -- Step 5 -- Turn the unit off with the rocker switch located on the unit. Disconnect the unit at the power source or at the service panel. Using a Philips head screw driver, remove the four (4) screws holding the electrical box cover. This allows access to the prefilter. Slide the prefilter out of the motor enclosure. Wash the filter with hot water and a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Do not use a caustic solution to clean the filter. Blow dry or let air dry and slide the filter back into the motor enclosure. Filter should be completely dry before reinstalling into unit. Using the Philips head screwdriver, reassemble electrical box cover to unit with four (4) screws.
7 Removal and Replacement of the HEPA Filter with Gel Seal WARNING! Disconnect the unit from the electrical power source before attempting to service the unit. WARNING! The HEPA filter may be protected by an expanded metal screen. This is to prevent accidental touching of the filter media. It is not meant to allow handling of the filter in these areas. Handle the filter ONLY by the frame. Tools required: Flat screw driver; 7/16 nut driver NOTE: The manufacturer recommends two people to remove and install the HEPA filter in the unit. Step 1 -- Step 2 -- Step 3 -- Step 4 -- Step 5 -- Step 6 -- Step 7 -- Step 8 -- Step 9 -- Turn the unit off with the rocker switch located on the unit. Disconnect the unit at the power source or at the service panel. Using a flat screw driver, release the face frame by rotating the four (4) fasteners a quarter-turn counter clock-wise. Unhook the safety cables from the filter clips. Set the frame aside. Using a 7/16 nut-driver, evenly loosen the nuts holding the filter retaining clips by working your way around the unit loosening the nuts a little at a time. To make installing the new filter easier, loosen the nuts until flush with the end of the threaded stud. USE TWO PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THE FILTER and rotate the filter clips toward the offset hole until clip is clear of the filter. Allow gravity to pull the filter away from the unit. If installing a new filter discard the filter in an appropriate manor. Unpack the new filter and inspect for shipping damage. If damage is found do not install in unit; call the manufacturer for replacement arrangements. Using two people, raise the filter into place assuring the seal edge is approximately in the center of the gel channel. The threaded posts will help align the filter. While supporting the filter by its frame, rotate the filter clips so that the clips are supporting the frame and are at 90º to the frame. Evenly tighten the nuts by working your way around the unit tightening the nuts a little at a time. Stop tightening when the aluminum filter frame contacts the stainless steel housing frame. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Wait at least 30 minutes before performing any challenge testing to allow the gel to fully adhere to the unit. Raise the face frame back into place, reattach the safety chains, and secure quarter-turn fasteners.
8 Step 10 -- Inspect all gaskets and seals for integrity. Reconnect power and turn unit power on. Replacement of HEPA Filter with Gel Seal Figure 1
9 Removal and Installation of the Variable Speed Motor WARNING! Disconnect the unit from the electrical power source before attempting to service the unit. Tools required: flat screw driver; philip s head screw driver; 7/16 nut driver; drill with 1/8 drill bit; 5/32 hex head driver Step 1 -- Step 2 -- Step 3 -- Step 4 -- Step 5 -- Step 6 -- Step 6 -- Step 7 -- Step 9 -- Step 10 -- Turn the unit off with the switch located on frame of the unit. Disconnect the unit at the power source or at the service panel. Remove the HEPA filter and set aside. See sections 2 and 3 for instructions. Remove the mid panel by removing the ten (10) screws with a Philips head screwdriver. Use a 5/32 hex driver to loosen set screw and slide fan off the motor shaft. Disconnect the 6-pin power cable and the 4-pin data cable from the motor. Using the 3/16 hex driver, remove the six bolts holding the motor assembly. Let the motor/fan/ring assembly down out of the unit. Mark the location of the motor mount ring on the motor housing. Use a nut driver or wrench to loosen the motor mount harness and slide off the motor. Reverse above steps to reassemble the motor/fan/ring assembly into the unit. Transfer mount location mark from old motor and replace the motor mount in the same location. Fan collar should be even with the end of the motor shaft.

11 ON/OFF SWITCH AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENT The Motor Accessible Fan Powered HEPA Unit is equipped with a two position, illuminated rocker main power switch located inside the plenum. DIGITAL AIRFLOW CONTROL The FPM includes a Digital Airflow Control unit to adjust the airflow in the range of 250 CFM to 700 CFM. The adjustment is made by turning the recessed knob located to the lower left of the display. To increase the airflow, adjust the knob clockwise with a small flat screw driver. Turning it counter-clockwise lowers the desired airflow. The digital display alternates between the selected flow input (%) and the current airflow (CFM). TESTING Each Fan Powered HEPA unit is thoroughly tested at the factory before shipment. However, many codes and standards require testing for by-pass leakage after installation. AJ Manufacturing encourages that the customer contact an independent, certified testing organization with technicians that are trained and experienced in performance evaluation and maintenance of clean air equipment. AJ Manufacturing recommends at least 30 minutes elapse after HEPA/ULPA filter installation before performing any type of challenge leak testing. The unit should be sealed to the ceiling and the room should have a positive pressure held during testing and normal operation.
12 TROUBLE SHOOTING Low Airflow If optional HEPA red LED light is on, replace the HEPA filter. Inspect the prefilter. Clean or replace as necessary. Adjust the digital speed control for higher blower output. Check the power supply for proper voltage, amperage, and distribution frequency Replace HEPA filter if airflow remains low. High Airflow Adjust digital speed control for lower output. Non-Laminar Airflow and/or Excessive Contamination Insure that upstream airstream is clear of large obstructions. Ensure that no other air moving devices are operating in such a way to disrupt the room s airflow pattern. Check airflow and if not desired airflow see above. Conduct smoke or photometer test on HEPA filter and gel seal. If fail seal or replace the HEPA filter as necessary.
