Page 6: General Description
(TVOCs) in the room. The HEPAirX uses a HEPA filter rated at 99.97% efficient at removing all airborne particulates. (Other filter efficiencies are also available on special order, but HEPAirX models that use filters rated below 99.97% efficiency have not been recognized by the U.S. - Page 7 The room air enters the HEPAirX on both sides of the portion of the unit inside the room. (Refer to Illustration A-1-2) These two return air inlets are covered in a removable, washable filter mesh. A portion of this return air is exhausted through the heat exchanger to the outside to purge the room of particulates.

Page 8: Planning The Installation
Radiators or baseboard heating units may continue to operate normally. The HEPAirX unit needs to be installed in a window to the outside. Double hung-type windows are the easiest to adapt to. Sliders and casement windows are also possible but require a more complex installation procedure. -

Lower the set point temperature to force the cooling on to test for noise and vibration. Wait for the compressor and condenser fan to come on. (See section “HEPAirX Controls” page 21 for instructions) Do not proceed until you have checked for damages and confirmed you have power and unit is operational. - Page 10 Manufacturer suggests starting at approximately 45° angle. 5. Now set the HEPAirX window sleeve into the window and on top of the lower insulation panel and plastic channel. The tabs on the bottom should be between the stool and the lower insulation panel.
- Page 11 be in the center of the window but it may be adjusted to either side to account for obstructions or preferred placement. (see A-2-5 and P-3) 6. Keeping the window down and the sleeve in place, reach out and adjust the leg and foot against the siding.

Page 12: Installation In An Outside Wall
(see section view on A-2-5) Installation in an Outside Wall The HEPAirX may be installed in an outside wall. Since this requires cutting through an outside wall and possibly framing and trimming the opening, we recommend a qualified carpenter be engaged. - Page 13 ILLUSTRATION A-2-5...

Read all of the installation instructions before installing the HEPAirX system. The HEPAirX is heavy. Place the unit on the floor or on a level and stable surface that can support the full weight of the system. Move the HEPAirX unit into position with the smaller condenser section facing the window. -
Page 18: Wiring The System For Power
Wiring the System for Power Match the electrical outlet to the plug provided on the HEPAirX. Provide dedicated circuit and wiring for the system. Use only approved extension cords. Match the wiring breaker size to the rated load shown on the serial plate. See sample serial plate illustration below. -
Page 19: Electrical Plug Configuration
It is normal for the display to read an alarm condition upon initial start-up until the room begins to reach setpoint temperature. NOTE: The new HEPA filter in your HEPAirX may give off an odor for the first day or two after which the odor should dissipate. -
Page 20: Sealing Of The Room
Sealing of the Room The HEPAirX is designed to take control of the entire room. To prevent infiltration of particulates from adjacent spaces, the room should be sealed up. Allow the unit to run while sealing the door frame with foam gasketing and installing a door sweep to prevent infiltration. - Page 21 The top discharge section has four adjustable louvers. Adjust these to your individual preference but also to get as much mix in the room as possible. If the HEPAirX is located in the center of a room, a default position for the louvers would be that the two inside louvers be in the up position and the two outboard nozzles are at a 45°...

Page 22: Hepairx Controls
HEPAirX Controls The HEPAirX digital electronic controls are designed to automatically control the operation of the compressor, condenser fan, evaporator fan, heating coil and the room supply and exhaust fans. Refer to Illustration A-1-1 for the location of these components. The primary control is a high voltage electrical printed circuit board which contains all the contactors, relays and electrical connections for the above components. -
Page 23: Rocker Switches
Use low speed to maintain cleanliness. OCC/UNOCC – in the occupied position, the HEPAirX operates at full capacity with the evaporator, outside and exhaust fans running continuously. This is used whenever someone is in the room. -
Page 24: Control Settings
For example, in auto mode, if the heating is set up 70°F and the cooling is at 72°F, there is a 2°F delta. If the room temperature falls below 70°F, the heating will come on. If the room temperature rises above 72°F, the cooling will come on. If you are in the auto mode and press the up arrow, both the heating and cooling setpoints will rise keeping the same 2°F delta. -
Page 25: Maintenance
Maintenance The HEPAirX units are designed for minimum maintenance. The refrigerant system is hermetically sealed and requires no maintenance. The fans are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance. After start up, monthly maintenance and performance checks should be performed in accordance with the following. - Page 26 If it appears the filter is dirty, it should be removed to observe the inlet side (under side of the HEPA). Again, exercise caution when handling the filter. Remove the four nuts on the threaded posts and the two hold-down brackets on each side of the HEPA filter. (Fig.2) Fig.2 Fig.

Manual Reset Heater Overload Switch: The HEPAirX unit uses an electric heating coil to heat the room. This coil has a high temperature safety switch to prevent overheating. (see A-1-1 for location) The primary cause of overheating is lack of airflow over the coil which may be caused by plugged or dirty filters, or an obstruction in the air path. -
Page 28: Maintenance Schedule
This maintenance requires the unit be removed from the window and disassembled. This work should be done by a qualified air conditioning service technician. Maintenance on HEPAirX units requires working with high voltage and high pressure and sheet metal with possible sharp edges. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance. -
