The OmniAire 600V is a compact, versatile air scrubber with high airflow and variable speeds. It is used for removal
of toxic mold, asbestos and lead dust during renovation and abatement projects, and for purifying air in commercial
or factory sites and medical facilities. This popular, light-weight machine is made of strong aircraft grade aluminum
housing with smooth surfaces for easy sanitation. It can be used with multiple filter options such as HEPA, activated
carbon plus MERV 9 primary/secondary filter. Additional accessories include intake manifold, flex ducting and quick
clamps.

Receiving Instructions
Visually inspect the unit for damage. Remove the primary/secondary filter and ensure that the HEPA filter has not been
dislodged during shipping. The HEPA filter should be sitting on the filter guides and the filter tabs that hold the HEPA
filter in place should be tight.
If the filter is not seated correctly then remove the filter tabs, reposition the filter, and reinstall the filter tabs before
operation to ensure that there is no bypass around the filter. If the filter tabs are loose verifying that the filter is in the
correct position and retighten the filter tab nuts.
Operations
For Asbestos and mold abatement, the machine must be operated with a HEPA filter in place. Also, it is recommended
to use the primary/secondary filer and replace it frequently to extend the life of the HEPA.

To create NEGATIVE PRESSURE inside the containment,
more air has to be exhausted out than leaks into the
containment. Place the machine inside the containment
and hook a flexible duct to the outlet ring of the
machine exhausting to outside the containment.
(See Above) All of the air being exhausted has been
treated by the HEPA filter so no contaminants are being
exhausted from the containment.
To create POSITIVE PRESSURE inside the containment,
more air has to be pumped in than leaks out of the
containment. Place the machine outside the containment
and hook a flexible duct to the outlet ring of the machine
ducting the exhaust into the containment. (See Above)

Speed Control
The air flow can be regulated from 150 to 550 cfm by using the VARIABLE speed selector controller and the SPEED
CONTROL knob.
Start the Machine
To start the machine in high speed, set the rocker switch HIGH/VARIABLE speed to the HIGH position. In this position
the SPEED CONTROL is disabled.
To start the machine in VARIABLE SPEED, set the rocker switch to the VARIABLE SPEED position and rotate the SPEED
CONTROL knob clockwise to obtain the desired airflow. As the filters fill with dust, the efficiency of the filters is
maintained, but the airflow will decrease, and the vacuum reading will increase. Change the primary/secondary filter
frequently to protect the HEPA and to get more air flow. When the amber change filter light comes on, the HEPA filter
needs to be replaced ro restore airflow. Accessories such as an optional intake manifold can be used on the suction
side of the unit providing 12” connection for the flex duct. The discharge side of the unit has a 12” diameter ring for a
flex duct.
Maintenance
The blower and motor do not require any maintenance when the machine is operated with the HEPA filter in place.
Pre-Filter Replacement
The primary/secondary filter should be changed when the orange side shows it is loaded with dust. Changing the
filter can be done while the machine is running. Ensure that the orange side of the prefilter is facing the HEPA filter.
HEPA Filter Replacement
During your projects, your HEPA filter purifies the air and gradually becomes loaded
with sub-micron particulates. Even when the HEPA filter is fully loaded, the filter is still
removing particulates from the air at the rated efficiency yet at a reduced airflow. This
will affect the ability of the machine to provide positive or negative pressure within the
containment.
To replace the HEPA filter unplug the machine and remove the screen/manifold to
remove the prefilter. You will see 4 filter tabs holding the HEPA filter in place (see photo).
These tabs are secured with 1/4-20 Nylock nuts, which require a 7/16” wrench or socket. Remove all 4 filter tab retaining
nuts and remove the filter tabs and set aside. Slide the HEPA filter out along the filter guides and remove it from the
machine. ALWAYS TREAT THE USED HEPA FILTER AS HAZMAT AND PROCESS IT ACCORDING TO YOUR ESTABLISHED
HAZMAT PROCEDURES.
To replace the HEPA filter ensure that the gasket on the HEPA filter faces inwards toward the flange, slide the filter
in place along the filter guides and re-install the filter tabs and filter tab securing nuts. The nuts should initially be
tightened to where the stud is flush with the end of the nut. This will compress the gasket on the filter approximately 1/2
of the thickness. This allows for the filter to be reseated and tightened later if necessary.

Troubleshooting
Your Omnitec Design machine is designed and engineered to provide years of trouble free service. Occasionally
problems occur. Here are some helpful tips and solutions
The machine does not start
1. Check that the unit is plugged in and there is 115VAC available. Select either LOW or HIGH speed to turn the machine
on. If the red indicator light comes on, power is coming to the unit from the outlet.
2. Call Omnitec technical support to troubleshoot further.
The machine just hums when turned on
1. Unplug the unit.
2. Remove the HEPA filter and push the blower wheel by hand. If it does not move freely or if you hear a grinding/
scrapping noise as you spin it, then the blower wheel is touching the side of the blower housing. This may be due to an
impact of some kind and the motor mounts have been bent. Remove the motor/blower assembly and replaced the
bent motor mounts.
3. If the blower spins freely, check the capacitor. With the HEPA filter still removed from the machine, insure that the
wiring connected to the capacitor is plugged in and not broken. Re-plug the unit into the power outlet keeping the
switch in the OFF position. Then push the blower wheel and as it is spinning, turn the speed selector switch to HIGH. If
the machine keeps running, the capacitor needs to be replaced.
The machine will run for a few minutes then turn off
1. The machine must have a HEPA filter installed to operate properly. If you are trying to run it without a filter in place,
the motor will overheat within a few minutes and the thermal overload will engage and shut it down. Let he motor
cool off for 30 minutes, install the filter and try running the machine again.
2. If the filter is in pace and the machine still shuts off after a few minutes then the motor is faulty. Replace the motor.
The machine vibrates excessively when running
1. This is an indication that the motor bearings are worn out. If the machine continues running, at this point the
vibration will cause the center hub of the blower wheel to separate from the wheel requiring replacement of both the
motor and blower. Replace the motor.
2. If the machine does require electrical servicing of the motor or switches the following page contains a wiring
diagram to aid in repair or troubleshooting.
