Dear Customer,
Installing the Rainbow 36 V Ventilation and Air Filtration System in your
home can save the lives of you and your loved ones.
For your security, we recommend carefully reading this manual, as well as
watching the training film on the company’s website. Keep this manual in an
appropriate place, so that it will be available in the event of an emergency.
It is also recommended to practice operating the system from time to time,
but without removing the filter’s sealing caps and without attaching
the filter!
Safety Instructions
1. Use the system only in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
2.
Do not use the system for any purpose other than for ventilation and
filtration of a residential safety room, and protection from biological and
chemical warfare substances while staying in the safety room.
3. Only connect the system to the standard voltage outlet of a residencal
home (230 VAC). Other types of power supplies are liable to cause damage
to the system and will compromise proper functioning.
4. Protect the system from extreme weather conditions and moisture.
5. Store the system out of the reach of children. Do not allow a child under
the age of 10 to operate the system.
6.
Any repairs, including disassembly for repairs, should be performed by
professional technicians that are approved by Beth-El Industries, and
according to the details in the warranty.
7. By recommendation of the Civil Defense Command, arrange a periodic
service visit once every two years in order to ensure the suitability of the
safety room and the proper functioning of the system.

System’s Principle of Operation:
When the system is operating according to the instructions, air is introduced
to the room via the air inlet valve and the NBC filter (1). The filtered air is
circulated through the room and creates an overpressure, thus preventing the
entry of polluted air through crevices or concealed openings.
When the room is in a state of overpressure, the indicator vane (2) spins
around. In this state, it is possible to remain in the room without the personal
NBC masks (on condition that the room is not contaminated by NBC before
operating the system).
The slight overpressure that is created in the room is not harmful to humans
or pets.

Instructions for Operating the System
Important!
The system should only be operated in an actual emergency situation and in
accordance with the instructions of Civil Defense Command.
Attention!
Before operating the system, make sure that all doors and windows are
closed and sealed properly. Be sure that the openings of the plumbing, air
conditioning, water, and sewage--in the event that they are available in the
residential safety room--are sealed adequately.
Step 1
Remove the system cover
Grasp the two handles on the sides of the cover,
and pull it towards yourself.
Pay attention to the “Brief Operating Instructions
at Times of Emergency” on the inner wall of the
system cover.
Step 2
Remove the filter from the system
Hold the filter with one hand, and release the strap
with the other hand.
Step 3
Open the seal on the filter and remove
the sealing caps on both sides.
Note: To remove the sealing caps, rotate the cap
counterclockwise (1), and pull it outwards (2).

Step 5
Step 4
Remove the cover of the air inlet valve
To remove the cover, push the safety button downward (if
there is one) (1), and rotate the cover counterclockwise
(2).
Release the strap of the connecting hose (1)
and attach the loose end to the filter on the wall (2).
Make sure that the inlet cable is attached to
the electric blower and attach the other end to
the wall outlet (1). Press the operating switch
on the blower (2).
(Wait a few seconds for the blower to start working.)
Attention! The indicator vane on the air outlet valve will start
to spin after a few seconds--this indicates that the room is in the
required state of overpressure. In the event that the indicator vane
doesn’t rotate, this is a warning that the room is not properly sealed.
Attach the filter to the air inlet valve
Hold the filter by the handles and, with the blue arrow
pointing upward, insert the pins into the holes on
the flange that is on the wall (1). Turn it clockwise
until the green arrow is pointing vertically and the
filter can’t be turned any more (2).

In the event of a power outage or other problems with the electric blower,
the system can be operated by means of the manual blower.
The manual blower can be attached in two possible positions:
First Position
Attaching the manual blower directly
to the filter:
In a residential safety room, in which
there is an air inlet valve located at a
height below 1.6 meters:
Remove the manual blower from the system.
Match the blower to the pins on the filter (1).
Attach it by means of slightly rotating it
counterclockwise, and then rotate it clockwise
until it can’t be turned any more (2).
Start operation by alternately drawing and pushing
the blower (3).
The rate of operation is 30 cycles per minute.
Make sure that the indicator vane is rotating.

In a residential safety room in which
the air inlet valve is located at a
height over 1.6 meters:
Step 1
Take out the bracket from the cabinet (the bracket
is located at the bottom of the manual blower).
Open the two rear tabs (1) and attach the flexible
hose (2) to it.
Attach the bracket to the adapter on the wall by
means of sliding the bottom of the tabs into the
appropriate slots, as much as possible (3).
Be sure that the other end of the connecting hose
is attached to the opening of the air outlet of the
filter (1).
Attach the manual blower to the bracket by means
of the connecting pins. Match the blower holes to
the pins on the adapter (2).
Attach it by means of slightly rotating it
counterclockwise, and then turn it clockwise until
it stops turning (3).
Start operation by alternately drawing and pushing
the blower.
The rate of operation is 30 cycles per minute. Make
sure that the indicator vane is rotating.

Maintenance of the filter after use
• The filter has a very high adsorption capacity.
•
At the time of an NBC attack and afterwards, do not detach the filter from
the air inlet opening. If the filter has adsorbed NBC substances, proceed
in accordance with the instructions of the Civil Defense Command.
At the end of the emergency situation, the company should be
summoned for a service check and maintenance of the filter.
•
If there was no NBC attack, but the filter was attached to the wall nonetheless,
it is possible to detach it from the valve, to close the openings with the
sealing caps, and to arrange for a service check of the system.
Routine storage
• Close the air inlet valve (shock valve) by means of the decorative cover.
• Do not open the filter’s original seal or damage it in any way.
•
In order to maintain the proper functioning of the system, perform a
service check once every two years, in accordance with the instructions
of Civil Defense Command.

Troubleshooting
Possible Malfunction Possible Solution
The blower doesn’t work
During operation, check the connection
of the power cable to the electrical outlet
and to the blower itself.
In the event that the blower still doesn’t
work, try to attach it to a different electrical
outlet.
The flexible hose detaches
and falls out of the filter
and the blower
Check and properly tighten the end of
the hose to the appropriate opening of
the filter and blower.
The filter doesn’t fit into its
location in the inlet valve
A. Make sure that you are holding the
filter in the proper direction (with the blue
arrow on the label of the filter pointing
upward)
B. Make sure that you match the small pins
of the filter to the openings of the inlet
valve. Rotate it slightly counterclockwise
so that the pins will go into their proper
location, and then rotate it clockwise as
much as possible, until the filter locks
in place.
The indicator vane doesn’t
rotate
This is an indication that the room is not
properly sealed. Verify that the door and
windows are closed to the point of being
completely sealed, and similarly verify
that there are no additional openings
or leaks that are not properly closed off.
