Hospi-Gard®AirCeil™
HEPA Filtration System
■Introduction
Purpose
The Hospi-Gard®AirCeil™ module is a self-contained, ceiling-mounted HEPA ltration system specically designed to provide
a high velocity airow pattern to lter out unwanted room particles including airborne microbiological contamination. The
AirCeil can either recirculate clean air back into the room or exhaust the air out to create a cost effective, negative pressure,
patient isolation room.
Description
Air enters the module through the intake grille located on the lower section of the unit. The air is evenly drawn by the motor/
blowers rst through a prelter and then through a High Efciency Particulate Air (HEPA) lter before being recirculated back
into the room through the Ceiling Filtered Air Diffuser. Alternatively, the HEPA ltered air can be exhausted to the outside or
returned to the main HVAC system to create negative pressure. Whether used for recirculation or exhaust, the Hospi-Gard
AirCeil moves air at a variable volume ranging from 300 – 600 cubic feet per minute (ft3/min) to carry away airborne particles
generated by the patient or activities within the room.
Features
• The self-contained, ceiling mounted HEPA ltration system is designed to t in a standard 2 ft x 4 ft T-bar ceiling grid or
other ceiling types.
• Designed to effectively create a low-cost negative pressure isolation room to meet CDC and OSHA guidelines.
• Tamper resistant IR hand held remote controller allows for “hands off” controlling of the module.
• The optional Ceiling Filtered Air Diffuser and 12-inch Clear Flexible Ducting allows the unit to be converted from a 100%
exhaust system to a total air recirculation system.
• Total height of the unit does not exceed 19.5 inches.
• Pending FDA and cUL listing.
• HEPA lter and prelter are room-side replaceable.

CAUTION AND WARNINGS
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of re, electrical
shock, or injury to persons, observe the following.
1. Installation work and electrical wiring
must be done by a qualied person(s)
in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including re-rated
construction.
2. When cutting or drilling into a wall or
ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring or
other hidden utilities.
3. Service to and decontamination of this
equipment should be performed by
an authorized technician trained and
experienced in performance evaluation
and maintenance of clean air equipment.
However, certain procedures are outlined
in this manual that can be performed by
the owner.
4. Before servicing the unit, switch power
off at service panel and lock service panel
to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally, and follow proper procedures
as necessary.
5. Use this unit only in the manner intended
by the manufacturer.

■Installation
Unpacking Instructions
1. The Hospi-Gard AirCeil unit is shipped fully assembled in an open crate.
2. Inspect the AirCeil crating for any external shipping damage immediately upon arrival. If any damage is observed, a freight
claim report should be completed and promptly led with the responsible carrier.
3. Carefully remove the open crating from around the AirCeil unit.
4. Remove the plastic wrapping from the AirCeil unit and inspect for any undisclosed damage that may have occurred during
transportation (Figure 1).
5. If any damage is discovered, le a claim with the responsible carrier immediately.
Assembly
Note: The Hospi-Gard AirCeil unit is completely assembled at the factory with the exception of the ¼-inch-20 eyebolts that can
be used when hanging the unit from an overhead structure.
• Insert four (4) ¼-inch-20 eyebolts (not included) into the nutserts located on the top-side of the AirCeil unit before lifting
into an overhead position (Figure 2, page 5).
• Raise the unit and secure it into place using “S” hooks and chain to suspend it from an overhead structure (supplied by
others).
• The AirCeil unit may be used to exhaust all of its air directly to the outside or to the main HVAC system by attaching 12
inch exhaust ducting to the duct collar, located on the side of the AirCeil unit.
Note: Verify that the ducting and the external exhaust motor/blower can handle the air volume exhausted by the unit.
• The optional Ceiling Filtered Air Diffuser (Part No. 63841) and 12-in. clear exible ducting (Part No. 63842) will convert
the AirCeil unit for use as a 100% Air Recirculation Unit.
• If purchased with the optional power cord, plug the cord into a properly grounded three-pronged receptacle, otherwise
hard wire according to the wiring diagram (Figure 8).
• Conrm the circuit to be used is sized to provide a minimum of 5 Amps and conforms to NEC (National Electrician Code).

■Operation
Airow Indicator Light
The Airow Indicator light on the AirCeil control panel (Figure 3 below) glows red when the unit is running and green when in
the standby mode or when adjusting the speed with the hand held IR Remote Controller.
Note: When the AirCeil is “OFF” both the red and green indicator lights are not lit.
AirCeil Flow-Set
The Flow-Set is a hand held Infrared Remote Controller congured to adjust the airow of the AirCeil unit. The combined use
of the Flow-Set Transmitter and the Infrared Sensor mounted on the control panel of the AirCeil, allows the motor to be turned
“ON” or “OFF”, adjustments to the airow index (from 1-100) and conrms the current airow setting.
Note: When any of the Flow-Set buttons are depressed, the Flow-Set Indicator Light will ash, indicating that a change has occurred.
During an adjustment session, the green Setting Indicator Light on the AirCeil Control Panel ashes each time a valid entry is made.
• The button to the left of the up arrow quickly increases to the airow index by increments of ten (see Figure 4).
• The button to the left of the down arrow quickly lowers to the airow index by increments of ten.
