Introduction
The OmniAire Negative Air Machine series provides high-performance negative air scrubbing
through a variety of performance and feature options. These machines are used for the removal of
toxic mold, asbestos, and lead dust during renovation and abatement projects, and for purifying
air in commercial, factory sites, and medical facilities. These machines are made out of a strong
aircraft-grade aluminum housing with smooth surfaces, for easy sanitation. It can be used with
multiple filter options such as HEPAs, Activated Carbon plus primary/secondary filter. Additional
options include power coated housing and audio alarm. Additional accessories include an intake
manifold, flex ducting, and quick clamps.
Application Examples
Creating Negative Air Pressure
To create negative pressure inside the containment
area, more air has to be exhausted out than leaks
into the containment. Negative air may be required
for a workflow (asbestos abatement for example).
Place the machine inside the containment and hook
a flexible duct to the outlet ring of the machine
exhausting to outside the containment. In this case,
all contaminated air is contained inside the negative
air pressure space. Alternatively, the machine can be
outside the containment space, using a duct and an
intake manifold.
Creating Positive Air Pressure
An alternate workflow is to create positive air pressure in the containment area, which ensures that
treated air is pumped into the containment area.
Carbon Activated Filtering
For VOCs and odor control, an OdorGuard carbon activated filter can be quickly installed. Activated
carbon filters are designed to remove odors and gaseous pollutants from air. These filters are an
eective and quick solution to your VOCs and odor problems.

Operations
Your OmniAire unit will run 24x7 continuously for years with proper preventative maintenance and
prompt replacement of the proper filters. Even when the HEPA filter is fully loaded, the filter is still
removing particulates from the air at the rated eciency yet at a reduced airflow. This will aect
the ability of the machine to provide positive or negative
pressure within the containment. When the unit’s HEPA filter
is nearing full capacity, the “change filter” light on the front
panel will turn on. At this time you should replace the HEPA
filter so that you can maintain the airflow needed.
Prior to operating the machine, always check that the HEPA
filter is securely in place Tighten filter tabs if necessary. The
HEPA filter is secured with four filter tabs as shown in the
photo. It is critical that the HEPA seal is in place to ensure all
air passes through the HEPA. These tabs are secured with
1/4-20 Nylock nuts, which require a 7/16” wrench or socket.
Do not operate the unit without a HEPA filter in place.
Refer to the figure below for location and description of
controls available for each of the three models. To operate
the machine, turn the dial from O to the desired speed (Pro model), or flip the switch to the High or
Low speed (Prime and Plus models).

Maintenance
Preventative Maintenance
The motor and blower do not require maintenance and your OmniAire machine will run for years with
proper regular replacement of the filters. In addition, the unit’s power cord should be inspected for cuts
or other damage on a regular basis.
Prefilter 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 eciency yet at a reduced airflow. This will aect 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 above). 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 at a later time if necessary.

Troubleshooting
Your OmniAire Negative Pressure Machine is designed and manufactured to provide years of trouble-
free performance. If there is a problem, please reach out for technical support and we are happy to
help.
The machine does not start
1. Check that the unit is plugged in and there is 115VAC (or 230VAC) available. On the Pro model, when
selecting a speed the red indicator light should come on. On the Prime and Plus models, select
either LOW or HIGH speed to turn on the unit.
2. Contact Omni CleanAir 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 replace the bent motor mounts.
3. If the blower spins freely, check the capacitor. With the HEPA filter still removed from the machine,
ensure 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, remove
your arm, and as it is spinning turn the speed selector switch to LOW. [ENSURE NO CLOTHING OR
HAIR IS CLOSE TO THE MOTOR.] If the machine keeps running, the capacitor needs to be replaced.
The machine will run for a few minutes then turn o
1. The machine must have a HEPA filter (or bag filter or Vapor Trap 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 the motor cool o for 30 minutes, install the
filter and try running the machine again.
2. If the filter is in place and the machine still shuts o aer 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. Wiring diagram can be
provided.
