Filter, Operation and Maintenance
Instructions
The air filters in a ventilation system are designed to pre-
vent dust and other impurities from entering the building.
They should also protect sensitive components inside
the unit, e.g. coils and heat exchangers, from exposure
to impurities.
The dust separation efficiency varies considerably
between various filter types. The dust collecting
efficiency also varies substantially. It is therefore
important to use filters of the same quality and
capacity when you replace them.
Dust separation class is specified with standard des-
ignations:
• Pre filter G4
• Medium filters M5 and M6
• Fine filters F7, F8 and F9
Higher digits denote a higher collecting efficiency. The
filter is designed for one-time use. If the filter becomes
fouled, the unit will lose capacity. The filter should there-
fore be changed if the pressure drop across it exceeds
the specified value.
It is important to stop the unit before changing filters to
prevent dust from coming loose and being drawn into
the unit. The inside surfaces of the filter section should
therefore also be cleaned when the filter is changed.
Inspection
Check the pressure drop across the filter. The pressure
drop is measured with a manometer connected to
measurement outlets. The measurement outlets are
connected to each side of the filter. If the filter has
reached its specified final pressure drop, it must be
changed.
Filter replacement
1. Shut down the unit via the control terminal and
lock the safety switch in the 0 position.
NB: The safety switch is not designed for start-
ing/stopping the unit. Always start and shut
down the unit by means of the control equip-
ment.
2. Wait until the fans have stopped, then open the
inspection door.
WARNING:
Positive pressure inside the unit, risk
of personal injury. Allow the pressure
to drop before you open the inspection
doors.
3. Release the eccentric rails.
Eccentric rails
4. Remove the old filter by pulling it towards you.
5. Clean the filter cabinets.
6. Install the new filter, press in the eccentric rails to
engage them and close the inspection door.
7. If there is a non-removable filter monitor: attach the
probes on each side of the filter.
8. Start the unit.
Cleaning
Vacuum and use a damp cloth to wipe clean the inside
of the filter section.
