2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AS-1000 is a portable, electrically powered Air Filtration machine,

designed and manufactured by DIAMAPRO SYSTEMS®. The machine’s

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-1000 requires a 110/115V - 10 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-1000. 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 1.0-1.2” of water column.

A fully loaded lter will register approximately 1.6”-1.8”” 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 1.6”-1.8” 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 1.6”-1.8” of water column

AS-1000 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 10Amp,

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-1000 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.

male recessed plug on control panel.

E. 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” – 1.2” 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 1.6” – 1.8” of water column; either one or all

of the lters are loaded and in need of replacement.

F. Pressing the power switch to the left will operate the unit in “Low” mode

equivalent to 500 CFM.

G. Pressing the power switch to the right will operate the unit in “High”

mode equivalent to 1000 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 1.6” - 1.8” 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
