Congratulations on your new LIFA AirClean 3500 negative air machine!
LIFA AC3500 is designed for ltering / cleaning of airborne pollutants, such as
construction dust, quartz, mill and wood dust etc. which forms in new and renova-
tion buildings.
• Airow linearly adjustable until 3600 m
3
/h (2100 CFM) (max airow w/o lters)
• Durable construction for professional use
• Operates in single phase current, 200–277 VAC, 50/60 Hz (100–120 VAC also
available, the voltage change is done using an encapsulated autotransformer,
which has a 5A fuse)
• Negative pressure in rooms or HVAC air ducts
• Wide range of lters available
Note: There is an 8 second delay between switching on the machine and
the start of the engine!

6. Electrical connection
• Ensure that the voltage supply and the
current correspond to the information
stated in the CE-plating and the
information in these instructions.
• LIFA AirClean 3500 must be
connected to a single-phase current
(1~) 200-277 VAC (or 100-120 VAC),
50/60 Hz, 10 A.
Only authorised electrician may do the
repairs or installations of the electrical
components. In addition, electrician has
to be authorised by the manufacturer;
otherwise the warranty expires.
7. Noise level
The noise level of LIFA AirClean 3500 is
low (<70 dB) and it does not depend on
the operating environment.
8. Transportation
Check all parts before installation and
use. Ensure that none of them have
been damaged during transport and the
fan wheel rotates freely. The vacuuming
unit must be protected from moisture
and it must not be stored unprotected
outside. Please be careful when lifting
the vacuuming unit.
The following safety directions must be carefully observed in order to avoid
injury of personnel or damage to the environment or the equipment.
Following these instructions will ensure the safe and uninterrupted use of
the machine.
Safety Precautions
• Equipmentmustnotbeusedwithoutalter.
• This equipment must not be positioned nor used in the areas
where there is a risk of explosion or hazardous substances are
used.
• The equipment must not get wet and it must be protected
fromrain,vibrationandwind.
• Foreignobjectsmustnotbeinsertedorttedintothe
equipment.
• Themachinemustnotbecoveredduringtheoperation.
• The operator must ensure that the equipment is suitable and
designedforthetaskandthestatutoryrequirementsaremet.
Ensure that the power supply is
reliably earthed/grounded!
1. Avoid contamination of the
environment
The machine should be kept as
clean as possible. The lters must
be appropriately disposed of.
2. General safety
The power must be turned off when
the machine is not being used. It is
forbidden to make any modications to
LIFA AC3500.
3. Operating safety
The person/persons performing the work
should use personal protective equip-
ment: ltered mouth mask, helmet, ear-
muffs, goggles, overall, safety boots and
other necessary protective equipment the
project requires. The axial fan has
extremely powerful suction. Items
(clothing, hair etc.) could easily be
sucked into the intake cone and cause
injury. It is prohibited to remove
protective grating of the suction inlet.
The vacuuming unit must never be
used with an unprotected suction inlet
or exhaust outlet, because the fan
wheel could cause serious injury. Any
objects that get caught in the fan could
be thrown out at high speed and cause
injury. Always ensure the outlet air is
directed to a safe place where there
are no people or materials that could
be damaged. Never put your hand in
the vacuum.
4. Workplace conditions
It is prohibited to use the vacuuming
unit in handling of gases, which are
classied as corrosive, toxic or explo-
sive or contain high moisture. The
machine must not be used in areas
where there is a risk of explosion. The
worksite must be free of obstacles and
the main switch easily controlled.
5. Operating temperature
The temperature of the transferred
gas must not exceed 80 °C (175 °F).
The machine must not be used in an
environment where the temperature
exceeds 40 °C (100 °F) or drops below
–20 °C (-4 °F).

1. LIFA AirClean 3500 can only be used for the purposes that it
is designed for and which are outlined in the instructions. It is
forbidden to use the equipment for any other purpose without
written permission from the manufacturer. If this equipment is
used for a purpose other than in which it is designed for, the
manufacturer does not take the responsibility for any
consequences.
2. Persons responsible for operating this equipment / supervising
the use of this equipment must get acquainted with the
structure, functions and the safe use of the equipment.
3. It is prohibited to remove or disable any technical protective /
safety device while using the machine.
4. If the machine must be installed in a way that protective / safety
device is disabled or device functioning is limited, work supervisor
/ person in charge must immediately be notied of this.

Operating Principles Service and Maintanance
The machine must be unplugged before carrying out
maintenance!
Regular service and maintenance:
• Filter exchange
Filters must be replaced when the pressure difference is ≥2 kPa. This
can be seen from the differential pressure gauge. The person replacing
the lter must wear personal protective equipment. Old lter can
be disposed of as mixed waste or as hazardous waste (hazardous
materials).
• Machine cleaning
The body and the ends of the machine must be cleaned thoroughly
after every use for example by sweeping with a damp cloth.
If there is a possibility that the lter contains hazardous materials, it
must be replaced according to the legislative guidelines regarding the
handling of hazardous materials. Also, the body and the ends must be
cleaned after operating the machine.
Please note that machine must be cleaned of hazardous materials
before sending it to the manufacturer or a servicer authorized by
manufacturer for maintenance.
Fans are equipped with fully closed ball bearings that do not need
lubricating. Fan units are maintenance-free.
Only an authorized electrician, who is also authorized by the
manufacturer, may carry out the electrical maintenance.
NOTE!
Possible repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer or a servicer
authorized by LIFA Air. Third party repairs will void the warranty.
Installation
Check that the exhaust air can ow unhindered
and protect the unit from vibration or blows.
Ensure that the suction inlet and exhaust outlet
are tted with their protective grilles, in accord-
ance with the regulations. The maximum permit-
ted operating temperature is 40 °C (100 °F).
Filters
The machine must always be used with at least
the pre-lter, which must be installed as shown
in picture above. Place the pre-lter between the
Fastening piece / frame for G4 pre-lter (No. 7)
and the Connection stud suction side (No. 8).
In addition, LIFA AC3500 can be used with a
HEPA/gas and/or a bag lter. For longer lifetime
of the HEPA/gas lters, we recommend using
the F7 bag lter and the G4 pre-lter. When
using all three lter-types in the same unit, an
additional pre-lter-box (g. d), length 31 cm,
12”) is required for the F7 bag lter. The pre-
lter-box is placed between the vacuum unit and
the parts No. 6, 7and 8, as shown in the picture
above.
In case a bag lter is not being used, the frame
for bag lters (No. 6) must be removed.
Electrical connection
The vacuuming unit has an EC-motor, which is
connected to a single-phase (1~) current. The
electrical power network must be earthed.
LIFA AC3500 can be used with a) a bag lter, b) a HEPA lter and c) pre-lter media. When using all
three lters at the same time, an additional d) pre-lter box for the bag lter must be installed as shown
in the picture above.
