COMMISSIONING General The initial commissioning and testing of your AirBench has been performed prior to delivery. However, as part of in-house commissioning we recommend that you complete the following tasks and record the results as appropriate in the system logbook.
Check the system logbook to ensure no routine maintenance is required. General use To use AirBench, ensure it is plugged in to a mains socket and the socket is switched on. Turn on the switch on the front of the bench.
The filters must be maintained / cleaned / replaced as described below. Proper filter care is essential for the effective operation of your AirBench. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer for advice. When changing filters, the seals on which the filters sit should be checked for damage and replaced if necessary.
Filter Pressure Gauges A filter pressure gauge is fitted as standard to the front of each AirBench. This indicates performance of the unit as a whole, and filter condition. Certain models show a red zone on the filter gauge; when the gauge indicates within this zone, filters may be blocked or require cleaning.

This service is available from us, or our approved testers. Thorough examination and test should include: Ensuring the prescribed maintenance routines are being completed and recorded within the system logbook.
