PPV fan applications require that a building have an entrance and an exit to support air flow through a structure to purge the structure of smoke and fumes. The VX700 PPV Fan puts out a cone of air to seal and pressurize the structure at the entrance. If the entrance is not sealed by the cone of air then some air will leak out around the door and the air pressure will drop through the structure, increasing the amount of time need to purge the structure of smoke and fumes.
When servicing the battery the negative cable is the first cable removed and the last cable installed. Avoid using fuels that are high in methanol or ethanol additives. In case of an emergency use the Emergency OFF Switch to kill power to the VX700. SM-VX700 Page 6 Rev. D...
