AS110001 CROMTECH™ AIR SCRUBBER
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
NOTE: Remove foam cap before use
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
•Do not expose to standing water or rain
•Connect to GFCI outlet
•Do not use an extension cord
•Unplug fan before servicing or changing filters.
•Do not block air intake or outlet. One foot
minimum distance to obstructions.
•Indoor use only
•Do not use as stool or bench
•Do not operate with damaged cord or plug.
•Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar
•coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic
area and where it will not be tripped over.
TRANSPORTING THE AIR SCRUBBER:
The Air Scrubber should be transported vertically or horizontally on the appropriate feet
located on the bottom of the unit or opposite the handle
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
The Air Scrubber can be plugged into a grounded 15 Amp circuit. It draws 2 Amps with clean filters
and no ducting. The amp draw will decrease slightly with added ducting and as the filters load with
particulate. Due to the presence of GFCI receptacle, the Pro model must be plugged directly into a
wall outlet. No extension cords should be used.
AIR DUCTING:
A. Inlet Ducting - Occasionally the area to be filtered is difficult to access and/ or the unit
cannot be in the area. In such cases, the air can be ducted to the unit's inlet. A round 16"
diameter flexible duct can be attached to the unit inlet. It connects by placing the wire in the
duct over the duct collar lip at one location and working over it over the lip gradually. It may
be removed after use for easier transport and storage.
B. Outlet Ducting - A detachable shaped exhaust ring is supplied that will allow 10" round lay-
flat plastic duct to be attached to the Air Scrubbers outlet. Put the plastic duct end through
the inside of the ring. Roll the duct end outward so that it over-laps the outside of the ring.
Clip the ring back onto the exhaust grill.
C. Negative Air Ducting - On the Air Scrubber can be used to filter and exhaust air from a
space. When exhausting to outside the space, the space will be under a slight negative
pressure. This will help prevent airborne particles from leaving the space, because the
negative pressure will draw air in through openings in the space's exterior surfaces.
Foam Cap

CROMTECH™ Operation & Instruction Manual
AS110001 CROMTECH™ AIR SCRUBBER OPERATION
CAUTION: Exhausting too much air from a space with open combustion devices (e.g. furnace,
fireplace or water heater) can cause those devices to backdraft. This can contaminate the space
with potentially fatal gases.
In such cases, the Air Scrubber must be used in one of the following three ways:
A. As a filtering unit only. Exhausting no air from the space and thus causing no negative
pressure or back drafting.
B. Exhausting a very limited amount of air which does not cause back-drafting. In case B, the
open combustion devices must be thoroughly checked to guarantee that they do not
backdraft while the Air Scrubber is running.
C. Direct the outlet duct from the Air Scrubber to the room with the open combustion
device(s). This will positively pressurize the room with HEPA filtered air, thus preventing
back-drafting. As in case B, those combustion devices must be checked after the Air
Scrubber is running to guarantee that they are not back-drafting.
POWER/SPEED CONTROL:
The power/speed switch is located on the control panel. When turned on to any speed, it powers
the impeller fan. Occasionally the impeller fan may not start on low speed. If this occurs, rotate the
speed control to high speed until the impeller fan starts, then adjust it to a lower speed.
CAUTION: Do not remove HEPA filter with the unit on. Removing the top and filters while running
will expose the dangerous rotating impeller fan. Disconnect the appliance before changing filters.
RESETTABLE CIRCUIT BREAKER:
The 10 amp resettable circuit breaker protects the unit and devices connected to it. The circuit
breaker is designed to sense the total current draw through the circuit. The circuit breaker "trips"
when more than 10 amps of electrical current are drawn through the device's power cord. Should an
over-current condition occur, the Air Scrubbers on-board circuit breaker prevents nuisance visits to a
remote power junction box.
IMPORTANT: Total amperage of the Air Scrubber plus all devices plugged into the receptacle must
not exceed 12 amps. The circuit breaker will not allow for loads in excess of 12 amps, although
there is a time delay before the overloaded circuit is broken.
IMPORTANT: When the Air Scrubber is plugged into a standard wall outlet and powered the Air
Scrubber's duplex outlet is live and AC voltage present.

CROMTECH™ Operation & Instruction Manual
AS110001 MAINTENANCE
SERVICING:
Before each use inspect for damage, blocked inlet/outlets. When the Air Scrubber is first turned on,
check for excessive vibration. If the unit vibrates excessively or if impeller rubs on housing, turn off
the unit immediately. Have a service technician inspect the unit to locate the problem.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when changing the HEPA filter as hazardous material could be
trapped in the media. Always make sure to dispose of filters in the appropriate way. If you are
unsure of how to safely dispose of any filter-consult an industrial hygienist to ensure that all
hazardous materials are contained and disposed of properly.
AIR FILTERS:
The standard Air Scrubber HEPA System is equipped with two filters that progressively filter out
smaller particles. An optional activated carbon/potassium permanganate filter can be also added.
These filters must be checked regularly. Operating the unit with dirty filters will reduce the airflow,
but will do no harm to the unit. The unit can be run indefinitely with dirty filters.
The two standard filters used are listed below (as installed in the unit from top to bottom):
1. 25 to 30% efficient (per ASHRAE 52.1-1992), MERV-7, pleated fabric pre-filter.
2. 99.97% DOP efficient HEPA filter
FILTER REPLACEMENT
When the amber "filter change light" illuminates. It may be time to replace one or both filters.
To check airflow accurately, an airflow meter or anemometer must be used:
1. When the filter change light illuminates; remove all ducting and run on high speed. if the
filter light remains lit; replace the pre-filter and run on high again. If the light remains; it is
time to replace the HEPA filter for full 500 CFM performance.
2. Airflow on high speed with all filters clean and no ducting is slightly over 500 CFM. The unit
can be run with very dirty filters and virtually no flow without harming the unit. The
operator's decision to change filters should be based on filter cost vs. the unit's filtering
effectiveness.
If airflow is 250 CFM vs. 500 CFM, the unit will filter particles from a space at half the rate. The
operator must judge if that is acceptable. If the operator determines the filters should be changed
due to low airflow, it is most economical to change them in the following order:
1. Change the pre-filter (top) first. This is the least expensive filter. Recheck the airflow. If the
airflow is acceptable, no other filters need to be changed.
2. If the airflow is still too low, the HEPA filter must be changed. To remove the HEPA filter,
follow these steps:
A. Loosen the eight screws one revolution
B. Rotate all eight clips out of the way.
C. Remove old filter.
D. Installing the new filter is the reverse of these instructions
Optional Activated Carbon/Potassium Permanganate Filters:
Optional filters are available. They use a blend of activated carbon and potassium permanganate.
This blend removes most contaminants encountered in most filtering applications. The activated
carbon removes the heavier volatile organics while the potassium permanganate removes lower
molecular weight contaminants. This is well suited to the smoke odours present after fire damage.
AS110001 MAINTENANCE

10
CROMTECH™ Operation & Instruction Manual
The life of the media blend depends upon both the hours used and the contamination level.
Another advantage of the blended media versus activated carbon only is that part of the blend
changes colour as it loads up with contaminants. It starts out black, then turns pink, then brown, and
finally white. It is best changed when it passes the brown stage and begins to turn white. It has lost
most of its effectiveness at that point.
The filter is the same size as the pleated fabric filter. Install it in place of the pleated fabric filter.
