Prior to Use

1. Remove any excess dust/dirt from exterior housing and control panel.
2. Be sure the HEPA Filter and Pre-Filters are installed properly with a positive seal.
3. Insure the unit is connected to a dedicated 10Amp, 110/115 volt circuit.
4. Make sure unit is safely positioned as not to impede any entrances or exits of the work area.
5. If applicable, check exhaust port connections for tight seal.

Caution: Insure your power cord is securely attached to the male recessed plug. If any movement or play is detected, change power cord immediately! If connection remains loose, immediately replace the male recessed plug.

Operation

1. When utilized in containment, the Novair should be positioned a minimum distance away from the entrance and located towards the center of the containment.
2. When using a HEPA filter, insure the filter is correctly installed and sealed. Anchor and secure the filter utilizing the supplied retaining brackets.
3. Install the Ring Filter and Pre-Filter pad into unit.
4. Insert the female end of your 10 amp rated, UL listed cord, into the male recessed plug on control panel.
5. To begin operation, depress the power switch to either the low or high position. Locate the differential pressure gauge located on the control panel. The gauge will register between 1.0” – 1.2” of water column. This is the initial reading when filters are new and unused. This reading will incrementally increase as filters become loaded with dust and debris. When the gauge reaches 1.6” – 1.8” of water column; either one or all of the filters are loaded and in need of replacement.
6. Pressing the power switch to the left will operate the unit in “Low” mode equivalent to 500 CFM.
7. Pressing the power switch to the right will operate the unit in “High” mode equivalent to 1000 CFM.
