1. INTRODUCTION
This operation and maintenance manual is furnished with each AS-2000.
It outlines the general use and maintenance requirements for e󰀩cient and
safe operation.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND DATA IN THIS OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL PRIOR TO
OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
These instructions are for your protection and convenience. Please read
them carefully. Failure to follow these precautions could result in injury,
death or damages. Whenever using electric powered equipment, basic
safety precautions should be followed.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AS-2000 is a portable, electrically powered Air Filtration machine,
designed and manufactured by DIAMAPRO SYSTEMS. The machines
function is to lter air and remove suspended airborne particulates.
This unit has a three stage ltering system. The Pre-Filter stage captures
the bulk of the dust and debris. The second stage utilizes a two-ply Ring
Filter that captures any dust and dirt able to penetrate the Pre-Filter. The
nal stage is the 99.97% - 0.3 micron HEPA Filter or the 5 micron general
purpose lter. The HEPA lter is utilized in abatement work or areas where
an extremely high level of ltration is desired. The general purpose lter is
utilized when trying to reduce visible air born particulates that are deemed
non hazardous.
The AS-2000 requires a 110/115V - 20 Amp, single phase power source.
DO NOT USE CIRCUITS EXCEEDING SPECIFIED
VOLTAGE. HIGHER VOLTAGE WILL DAMAGE
CONTROLS AND COULD CAUSE SHOCK OR FIRE
HAZARD.
3. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Inspect the unit for any loose or damaged parts prior to use.
CAUTION: Be sure power supply is in the OFF position
prior to inspection!
A. Clean the surfaces of the unit to remove accumulated dust or dirt. Do
not use petroleum distillates, solvents, or thinners as cleaning agents.
Remove any accumulated dust and dirt from control panel.
B. Periodic checks should be made of the lter brackets to ensure
thumbscrews and knobs are secure.
C. Filters should be checked daily and replaced if needed. This will help
ensure proper air ow and extend motor life.
D. Inspect ALL power connection. Be sure that the recessed plug is secure
to the panel. If recessed plug is not secured, electrical shock or shortage
may occur.
E. Inspect your power cords connections for breaks, scorched areas,
melting, oxidation, or signs of wear. If cord shows ANY of these signs,
replace.
CAUTION: Do not tamper with or modify the blower housing, control
panel, drive motor, or wiring scheme. Tampering or modications
could result in premature wear or failure and will void factory
warranty
CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS
1. Power Switch
Switch used to turn on your AS-2000. Select either high or low set-
tings depending on the desired volume of air to be ltered.
2. Circuit Breaker
This is attached to the units main power supply to assist in protecting
the blower motor from power surges. The circuit breaker also helps
protect the operator against electrical shock or hazards.
3. Di󰀨erential Pressure Gauge
This is used to determine lter e󰀩ciency. The DPG measures nega-
tive pressure on the clean side of the lters. As the Filters load with
dust and debris, the negative pressure will increase and move the
needle of the DPG. A new lter will register 1.0-1.5” of water column.
A fully loaded lter will register approximately 3.0-3.5” of water
column.
4. Barbed Fitting
Inlet used to measure pressure of surrounding ambient air.
5. Male Recessed Plug
Firmly insert the female end of a proper gauge extension cord to
power the machine.
CAUTION: A loose, corroded, ill tted or damaged extension cord
can cause pre-mature failure and void your warranty.
6. Audible Alarm - (Optional Feature)
Audibly alerts the operator when lters are loaded or when air ow is
greatly decreased. The alarm will sound once the pressure gauge
reaches 2.8-3.2” of water column.
7. Visual Light - (Optional Feature)
Visually alerts the operator when lters are loaded or when air ow
is greatly decreased. The alarm will light once the pressure gauge
reaches 2.8-3.2” of water column
AS-2000 CONTROL PANEL

4. PRIOR TO USE
A. Remove any excess dust/dirt from exterior housing and control panel.
B. Be sure the HEPA Filter and Pre-Filters are installed properly with a
positive seal.
C. Insure the unit is connected to a dedicated 20Amp,
110/115 volt circuit.
D. Make sure unit is safely positioned as not to impede any entrances or
exits of the work area.
E. If applicable, check exhaust port connections for tight seal.
CAUTION: Insure your power cord is securely attached to the male
recessed plug. If any movement or play is detected, change power
cord immediately! If connection remains loose, immediately
replace the male recessed plug.
OPERATION
A. When utilized in containment, the AS-2000 should be positioned a
minimum distance away from the entrance and located towards the
center of the containment.
B. When using a HEPA lter, insure the lter is correctly installed and
sealed. Anchor and secure the lter utilizing the supplied retaining
brackets.
C. Install the Ring Filter and Pre-Filter pad into unit.
D. Position the unit on a at level surface and secure the casters using
the lock feature.
E. Insert the female end of your 20 amp rated, UL listed cord, into the
male recessed plug on control panel.
F. To begin operation, depress the power switch to either the low or high
position. Locate the di󰀨erential pressure gauge located on the control
panel. The gauge will register between 1.0” - 2.5” of water column. This
is the initial reading when lters are new and unused. This reading will
incrementally increase as lters become loaded with dust and debris.
When the gauge reaches 3.0” - 3.4” of water column; either one or all of
the lters are loaded and in need of replacement.
G. Pressing the power switch to the left will operate the unit in “Low” mode
equivalent to 1200 CFM.
H. Pressing the power switch to the right will operate the unit in “High”
mode equivalent to 2100 CFM.
5. REPLACEMENT OF FILTERS
The work atmosphere will impact the frequency of lter replacements. As
lters begin to load, the reading of the pressure gauge will increase
incrementally. When the Pressure gauge reads 3.0” - 3.4” or when airow
is greatly reduced, check the condition of lters.
CAUTION: If applicable, wear personal protective equipment during
lter replacement. Please observe all Federal, State, and Local
regulations regarding the handling and disposal of
hazardous materials.
PRE-FILTER REPLACEMENT
A. Set the power switch (diagram #20.1, item #3) to the o󰀨 position.

B. Remove Black Filter Door (diagram #20.1, item #10) to expose the
lters.
C. Reach in and remove the Pre-Filter (diagram #20.1, item #18).
Dispose of Pre-Filter accordingly.
D. Replace the discarded Pre-Filter with a new Pre-Filter.
E. Reinsert the Black Filter Door.
F. Insert the female end of your power cord into the Male recessed plug
(diagram #20.1, item #1), and set the power switch to the “High”
position. If the reading on the pressure gauge exceeds 3.0” - 3.4”
of water column, the Ring Filter (diagram# 20.1, item #17)
should be inspected.
RING FILTER REPLACEMENT
A. Follow steps A-D listed above referencing Pre-Filter replacement.
B. Reach in and remove the Ring Filter (diagram# 20.1, item #17).
Dispose of Ring Filter accordingly.

D. Reinstall the Pre-Filter.
E. Reinsert the Black Filter Door.
F. Insert the female end of your power cord into the male recessed plug
(diagram #20.1, item #1), and set the power switch to the “High”
position. If the reading on the pressure gauge exceeds 3.0-3.4” of water
column, the HEPA or General Purpose Filter should be inspected.
HEPA/GENERAL PURPOSE
FILTER
A. Follow steps A-D listed above for Ring Filter replacement.
B. Locate the bracket thumbscrews (diagram #20.1, item #12). Loosen the
four bracket thumbscrews by turning them counter clockwise.
C. With all four thumbscrews loose, push the top of the lter brackets
(diagram #20.1, item #11) inward towards each other, and remove from
the front of the unit.
D. Firmly grasp the right and left sides of the HEPA or General Purpose
Filter (diagram #20.1, item #16), and pull the lter directly towards you.
Remove the used lter and dispose of accordingly
E. Carefully inspect the replacement HEPA/General Purpose Filter
gaskets for cracks, gaps or defects Any defective gaskets must be
replaced.
F. The HEPA and General Purpose Filters have two sides; one side has a
gasket, the other does not. Insert replacement HEPA or General Purpose
Filter, gasket side rst, into machine and press rmly against the housing’s
internal rib.
G. Reinstall the lter brackets. Once the brackets are installed, turn the
thumbscrews clockwise until tight. This will secure the main lter.
