Operations & Maintenance Manual
AF Air Purifier iSeries
AF1000RNP and AF2000RNP
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! Youare now the owner of a QUATRO AirFlow Series RNP system, an advanced effective air purifier, designed specifically tohelp protect the
human respiratory system. You can expect a noticeable improvement in air quality as the unit begins the processof reducing microscopic airborne particulate.
The RNP system was designed to provide flexibility in the field. It can be used with adjustable discharge grills for simple recirculation or it can be converted to a
negative pressure system by replacing the adjustable grill with 6”(AF1000RNP) or 10” (AF2000RNP) discharge collar which has been supplied.
This will allow the end user to exhaust clean air from the room to create a negative pressure environment.
2.0 PRECAUTION
Read all the instructions contained within this manual before operating this unit. Keep this manual, as it contains information for proper operation and
maintenance. Keep all fastening hardware tight to ensure that the unit is in good working condition. Familiarise yourself with the way in which filters
are removed, installed, and serviced. All filters must be in place whenever this machine is in operation. Use only on a grounded electrical circuit; do
not use any two-wire electrical prong adapters to defeat the three-pronged plug on the end of the cord. When servicing the motor, be careful when
touching the exterior of the motor as soon as it has been turned off; it may be hot enough to be painful or cause injury. They are built to operate at
higher temperatures. Do not substitute any other filters (particulate or chemical) for those supplied, as this will alter the unit efficiency. DO
NOT SERVICE MOTOR OR CONTROL PANEL UNLESS UNIT IS UNPLUGGED FROM RECEPTACLE (ITS POWER SUPPLY)!
3.0 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The air is drawn in through an intake grille located at the bottom of unit. The air then passes through the particulate, HEPA and optional odor filters.
The clean air is then released through the top discharge grills into the controlled space. The AF iSeries Purifier features a threefold method of
operation; a) captures general particulate; b) HEPA filter removes microscopic particulate matter; c) Optional Chemical filters adsorbs, reacts or
scrubs toxic or nuisance gases (optional).

8.2 PARTICULATE FILTER REPLACEMENT
a) Open the filter access door with the appropriate tool (Phillips screw driver) to avoid stripping of screws;
b) Carefully slide pre-filters and high capacity filters along their support channels, Slide clean filters gently into place;
c) Ensure Dust Filters are replaced as per airflow indications;
e) If encountering difficulties, confirm that there are no obstructions in the filter track;
f) Hi-Efficiency filters must be replaced as per airflow arrow on the filter casing;
g) HEPA filters should be installed with gaskets facing up to seal on the section above the filter.
For critical applications, a secondary seal can be applied using continuous bead of removable sealant. (Part# AR321)
This would be applied to the middle of the gasket in a continuous bead prior to putting the HEPA into the system and then
Inserting pressure seal rods
h) The RNP systems are equipped with a HEPA pressure sealing mechanism. The easiest and most effective way to change the HEPA filters is
with the unit lying down on its back. Two or more people will be required to do this safely. Once lying down the pressure sealing mechanism rods
are to be pulled out to release the seal. There are loops on the rods tohelp pull. Ifit is difficult to remove please use a tool for additional leverage.
Please note it critical for thesefilters tobe tightand secure to avoid by-pass sothis is completely normal. If secondary sealant was applied please
remove this prior to installing new filter.
i) Care must be taken not to damage the exposed portions of the new HEPA filter. DO NOT bend aluminium separators as this will obstruct airflow.
j) RESET “Service Filter(s)” Light (see section 8.6)
8.3 Optional CHEMICAL FILTER TRAY (F003) MAINTENANCE
It is essential that the chemical filtermedia be replaced approximately every twelve months OR immediately following any detection of odor. After an
operating period of twelve months (or when the filters are consumed), call your authorised distributor to purchase a new set of chemical filtration
assemblies (Part No: F003-xxx ) prior to removal of existing one.
To replace Odor Filter (Part No: F003-xxx)
a) Ensure that the unit is unplugged, open door with appropriate tool to avoid stripping of screws;
b) Slide out the existing F003 chemical module, remove new F003 from the box that it was shipped in;
c) Reinsert new filter back into the system with removable lid on top;
d) Return door to the closed position and verify that an airtight seal is maintained;
e) RESET “Service Filter(s)” Light (see section 8.6)
8.3 Optional BULK CHEMICAL MEDIA FILTER TRAY (F003) MAINTENANCE
To refill existing F003 chemical filter cell with new bulk odor media:
a) Slide out existing F003 filter (see diagram below);
b) Unscrew the screws and lift off access cover;
c) Pour out used odor filter (this procedure may be dusty, therefore it is recommended to do this in a well-ventilated area. It is also
recommended to wear a dust mask, goggles and gloves when replacing bulk media);
d) Refill F003 container with fresh odor filters and replace the 2 panel covers and re-insert into unit as per diagram on last page of manual;
e) RESET “Service Filter(s)” Light (see section 8.6)
Filter disposal is the responsibility of the end-user. Please contact local authorities for proper and legal disposal.

9.3 POSITIONING OF UNIT
Mounted on four casters, the unit can be wheeled virtually anywhere in the room for optimal convenience. The unit is designed in an up-flow
configuration allowing the air to create a "sweeping" effect across the room. The clean air is released from top of unit, moving across the room in a
downward motion. The clean air pushes particulate and gaseous matter towards the floor level and draws it in the intake grille located at bottom of
unit. This configuration allows the particles which have already accumulated towards the ground to be pulled towards the return air grille. This results
in a very effective means of space cleaning. The AF iSeries Purifier is more efficient the closer it is placed to its intended source. Conversely, the
unit's efficiency is diminished as it is placed further from the source of pollutants.
9.3 REDUCTION IN AIRFLOW
As the unit cleans the air, the filters are removing the submicronic particles and dust from the air stream. As the filters accumulate debris (both visible
and microscopic), a restriction on the blower/motor is created. As the restriction becomes greater, the air capacity delivered by the blower decreases
rendering the unit less effective. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHANGE FILTERS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

CONVERTING FROM RECIRCULATION TO NEGATIVE PRESSURE
For AF-1000RNP units with serial numbers less than 75288
Step 1.
Remove all filters from the AF-1000 and place a cardboard or plastic sheet over the fan
assembly to catch as much steel material as possible during the cutting/drilling process.
If you decide not to replace the HEPA filter you must place something on top of the filter to
protect against the metal shavings dropping into the filter.
Step 2.
Remove the three black supply grilles by using a slotted screwdriver and pressing on the four
tabs located on the black grilles.
Step 3.
Use a jig saw or other type of steel saw to cut the metal material out in between the grilles to
leave a large rectangular opening.
Step 4.
The extra supply collar plate has been supplied; it has an 6’’Ø or 8” Ø opening.

QUATRO
Air Technologies Inc.
Fresh Air Purifiers-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Engineers Of Clean Air
Step 5.
Place the supply collar plate (M701 or M271-38) on the top of the unit - center it and use a marker to dot the location
of the holes, remove plate and drill a 1/16’’Ø pilot hole.
Step 6.
Place a continuous ¼” bead of white or clear silicone around the perimeter of the top of the unit before placing the
collar plate on top of the unit
Step 7.
Use the self-tapping screws to fix the plate on to the top of the unit permanently.
For units built with serial numbers greater than 75288 the 3 black grills will be mounted on a
separate removable plate (AR336-02). This will make the transition from Recirculation to
Negative pressure collar discharge a simple task. The plates will be removable and
interchangeable with no cutting required.
To convert AF2000 units simply remove the discharge grill (H001), apply some caulking to the
10”collar plate (H184) and screw down the plate over the discharge opening using the hardware
provided.
