ASR-200-AV-NBC Safe Cell Installation and Operation Manual Revision C - April 27, 2016 Assembling the Safe Cell The top and bottom end bells are shipped separate from the filter elements. The top end bell has the blower and power supply.
Page 6: Wall Mounting
ASR-200-AV-NBC Safe Cell Installation and Operation Manual Revision C - April 27, 2016 Wall mounting The mounting location should be near an electrical outlet and within reach of the air inlet (the wall mount flange or the intake blast valve). If the air intake hose will not reach the bottom air intake port on the Safe Cell, 4 inch, schedule 40 ABS pipe and fittings should be used to connect the hose to the air inlet.

ASR-200-AV-NBC Safe Cell Installation and Operation Manual Revision C - April 27, 2016 Installation Mount the wall flange over the air intake hole in the wall or ceiling. Remove the red plastic shipping caps from the intake and output ports. The hand pump is only installed when it is needed.
Page 8: Operation
ASR-200-AV-NBC Safe Cell Installation and Operation Manual Revision C - April 27, 2016 Operation — using the Safe Cell The Safe Cell is an emergency air filtration device. The granular carbon in the carbon adsorber will adsorb most any gas present in the atmosphere - including water vapor. To prevent this from happening, the red shipping caps should be left on the Safe Cell when not in use.

Page 10: How The Safe Cell Works
ASR-200-AV-NBC Safe Cell Installation and Operation Manual Revision C - April 27, 2016 How the Safe Cell works The Safe Cell draws unfiltered air from outside and pumps it into the protected space as filtered air causing a slight difference in pressure between the protected space and the outside. This increase in pressure inside the protected space is known as overpressure.
Page 11: Testing The System
ASR-200-AV-NBC Safe Cell Installation and Operation Manual Revision C - April 27, 2016 Testing the system General discussion The Safe Cell is only one component of a space protected from airborne pathogens. Others include proper sealing of the space and the release of overpressure in a metered amount. Your protected space should be envisioned as a pressurized vessel with a calibrated release valve.
Page 12: Changing The Filters
Section Replacement filters should be obtained from American Safe Room. Alternate sourcing of filters is not recommended and removes American Safe Room from liability resulting from inadequate performance by third-party filters. Page 12...
Page 13: Optional Hardware
Backup hand operated air pumps The ASR-200-AV-NBC Safe Cell is equipped with an internal automatic switching power supply. This system automatically switches the Safe Cell to the user supplied 12 volt automotive battery in case of failure of the main AC power.
