4 Technical Description
4.1 Unit description
AP BIO air purifiers are equipped with a filtration system for decontamination of air.
This process is performed by filter inserts of filtration class ISO ePM1 55% (F7) and
HEPA filter inserts of filtration class H14 with active bactericidal, fungicidal and viru-
cidal agent AirFend ™, which filters and decontaminates bacteria and viruses.
AP BIO air purifiers are fully completed at the factory and are subjected to a test oper-
ation, so they are easy and quick to install.
Directives and regulations Units meet the following directives and standards:
– Directive on Machinery 2006/42/EC
– Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU
– Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) 2014/30/EU

The control panel (2) used to adjust the air flow rate of the unit.
The electrically driven fan (4) creates a constant negative pressure in the air column.
The air flows through the indoor air inlet (1) and further through the ISO ePM1 55%
(F7) filtration barrier (7). In this step 55% of particles and microbes are captured.
A second HEPA H14 filtration barrier (6), which is also impregnated with the 100%
natural AirFendTM bio-decontaminating solution in powder form, deactivates viruses
and bacteria.
The clean air flows out through the air outlets (5) where traps are present to reduce
noise levels.
The indicator light (3) indicates a filter change when the loading conditions are
reached.

5 Shipping and storage
5.1 Delivery
The units will be delivered with casters and with mounted filters.
Upon receipt of the units, inspect them for shipping damage and verify that the ship-
ment is complete (refer to chapter 2.2 "Packaged content") according to the freight bill.
Take photographs of all visible transit damage.
5.2 Transport
•Before lifting or shipping the unit, make sure that all mountings are fixed and
secured.
•Only use lifting gear with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
•Never use damaged lifting gear.
•Ropes/chains must not be knotted and/or be exposed to sharp edges.
•Only use ropes/chains of the same length.
•Only use the designated lifting gear (provided on site).
•A girder with suitable load-bearing capacity must be used to ensure the stability of
the lifted load and to avoid the lifting gear coming in contact with the unit.
•Move the unit carefully without fast irregular movements.
•Do not move the unit in case of strong wind conditions.
•Always set the unit down gently, without bumping it.
•If required, engage a specialist company to ship the unit.
Notice!
Missing parts or claims of shipping damage can only be reported to the transport
insurance if the damage has been confirmed by the delivering carrier.
Notice!
We recommend keeping the equipment in the original packaging for protection and
ease of handling during shipping and storage.
Remove the original packaging only just before installation.
Up to commissioning, protect the unit from building dust, dirt and damage!
Danger due to high loads!
Inappropriate handling with high loads can lead to death or serious injuries.
For unit weight, refer to the order-related documentation and the unit identification
plate.
Danger due to overhead loads!
Never stand beneath suspended loads, since there is always a risk that the lifting
gear, tackle, ropes or slings are faulty or damaged. Failure to follow safety precau-
tions could result in death or serious injury.
•Wear safety clothing and protective helmet.
•Never stand under suspended loads!

TRANSPORT WITH PACKAGING
Only appropriately equipped personnel must perform the transportation in compliance
with the applicable safety regulations. Lifting and rigging the unit must only be per-
formed using lifting devices appropriately designed to support the entire weight of the
unit. Do not stack the units!
Fig. 5-1 Transporting with packaging
1: Crane
2: Identification plate
3: Lift truck
•Lifting with the lift truck (3)
Position the fork at the unit bottom and set it to the widest possible position.
•Lifting with the crane (1)
To lift, insert poles into the feet of the unit that are long enough for the lifting ropes
and anti-slip devices to be attached. For the dimensioning of the pipes, please refer
to the figure in the corresponding section.
To avoid damage, make sure that the hoist ropes cannot rub against the unit.
•For your own safety wear gloves and safety footwear when lifting or shipping the
unit.
5.3 Storage
Allowable storage conditions / allowable air condition for un-installed units
The storage of air purifiers and filter inserts with the virucidal agent AirFend ™ is
allowed in warehouses of type IE 12 according to EN IEC 60721-3-1 ed. 2. Units must
be stored in a weatherproof, dry and dust-free location.

6 Assembly
6.1 Erecting the unit
The unit must be installed at a location that fulfills the following requirements:
– Ensure that the ground are level and that it can support the weight of the equipment,
so that no vibrations or operating noises occur when the unit is operating.
– The unit must be installed in such a way that it is only accessible to trained and
authorized technical personnel. If required, use appropriate equipment to keep
unauthorized persons away from the unit.
– To achieve the best performance of the AP BIO air purifier it is desirable to position
the unit as close to the center of the room as possible. Make sure that the indoor air
inlets at the top of the unit are not blocked, otherwise operation, performance and
noise levels will be affected.
– Roll the unit to the desired position and apply the brake on the front casters
(AP BIO 2400 and AP BIO 1000).
– Connect the power supply. If necessary, use an extension cord compatible with the
electrical power of the unit (see identification plate).
Note on mounting and installing the unit!
Here you will find information on how to mount and install the unit.
Placement, installation and assembly may only be carried out by qualified
specialists with proper professional training and experience in the relevant
accident prevention regulations, as well as other generally recognized safety and
occupational health codes.
Note on moving the unit!
If the FläktGroup units have been moved from one plant/location to another,
repeated commissioning is required.
Notice!
Use only the supplied order-related documentation and enclosed detailed
dimensional drawings when transporting the unit.

Notice for the first unit activation!
– When the unit is switched on for the first time, the AirFend is transferred to the
HEPA filter which activates the biological AirFend layer.
– This will result in a smell of cloves and other biological substances.
– Such smell emissions are normal and do not represent a reason for complaint.
– This smell subsides in a few days following the activation.
– Activation of the AirFend layer can cause allergic reaction.
