Unpacking
Inspect the Air Filtration Unit and check for 
shipping damage. Report any damage 
immediately to your distributor and shipping 
agent. Do not discard any shipping material until 
the Air Filtration Unit is installed and running 
properly. 
Compare the contents of your container with the 
following parts list to make sure all parts are 
intact. Missing parts, if any, should be reported 
to your distributor.

Assembly
Refer to Figure 1.
Tools required: 10mm wrench and cross-point 
screwdriver 
1. Remove
both
filter guards by pulling out on
the tabs so that they clear the slots in the 
sides of the cabinet. 
2. Remove the outer filter and inner filter
(intake side) and the diffusion filter (exhaust 
side). Remove any protective plastic from 
these items. 
3. Remove all styrofoam packing from inside
the cabinet.
4. Re-install the filters and filter guards in
proper order. The filters at the intake side 
should be placed inside the retaining plate 
on the cabinet. 
(The outer filter has an arrow printed on it to 
show direction of air flow; make sure it is 
facing the proper direction when installed.) 
5. If you will be suspending the unit from an
overhead structure, remove the four screws 
on top of the cabinet. Install the four eye 
bolts with hex nuts and washers into the 
threaded holes. Screw each eye bolt into the 
cabinet; turn it to desired position then 
tighten the hex nut against the cabinet with a 
10mm wrench. 
Installation
The unit must be anchored to
a building structure which will support a 
minimum of 100 pounds. Never mount to 
surfaces such as dry wall, false ceiling grids, 
etc. 
If mounting to ceiling, make sure chain and 
ceiling hooks are properly rated for hanging this 
unit. Clearance should be at least 7 feet from 
bottom of unit to the floor. 
This unit will work best if located away from 
corners and heating/cooling vents. 
Controls and Features
Refer to Figure 2.
The Air Filtration Unit can be operated by either 
the remote transmitter or the control panel on 
the cabinet. The remote transmitter uses radio 
frequency, and thus is not limited by line-of-sight 
operation. 
Fuse
The fuse switch will pop out in case of overload. 
Wait 3 to 5 minutes and push the fuse switch 
back in. 
Speed
The unit will always start on low speed. On the 
remote, press the up or down button to change 
speed. Or, on the control panel, press and 
release the Speed button. 
Timer
Press the timer button on the remote (the timer 
indicator will start flashing). Then press the up or 
down button to scroll to the desired time (from 1 
to 9 hours). Press the timer button again – the 
indicator will stop flashing. The unit will operate 
for the programmed time, at the end of which it 
will automatically shut off. 
Note: If the timer function is not used, the 
filtration unit will continue to operate until the off 
button is pressed. 
Change Filter
The “Change Filter” indicator will light up after 
200 hours of operation to remind the operator to 
inspect and to clean/replace filters if needed. 
To turn off the indicator light, press the Reset 
switch using a thin object, such as a ball point 
pen or paper clip.
