LIMITATIONS ON USE
WARNING CAUTION
OVEREXPOSURE TO GERMICIDAL ULTRAVIOLET RAYS WILL
RESULT IN THE IRRITATION OF THE EYES AND THE REDDENING
OF THE SKIN. FOR THAT REASON, THE DEVICE IS EQUIPPED
WITH A DOOR INTERLOCK WHICH DISABLES THE UV-C LAMP
WHEN THE CABINET DOOR IS OPEN.
IF USER OVERRIDES CABINET DOOR INTERLOCK, RESULTANT
EXPOSURE TO UV-C LAMP RADIATION EXCEEDS DAILY
RECOMMENDATIONS AND WILL CAUSE INJURY TO USER AND
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
AV1000 IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY,
ELECTROCUTION, BURNS AND OR DEATH.
THE FAN USED IN THE AV1000 UNIT IS A ROTATING PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT RUNNING AT 3,000 RPM. ALWAYS SHUT DOWN
THE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO SERVICE WORK. UNPLUG IT FROM
IT’S POWER SOURCE AND WAIT A MINIMUM OF ONE MINUTE
FOR THE FAN TO STOP PRIOR TO UNLOCKING THE DOOR FOR
SERVICE. THE AV1000 UTILIZES SAFETY SWITCHES IN THE
DOOR THAT AUTOMATICALLY DISENGAGE POWER TO THE
UNIT UPON OPENING. IF THE DOOR IS OPENED WHILE THE
UNIT IS RUNNING, POWER WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF;
IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE, THE FAN WILL STILL BE IN ROTATION
AND BEGIN WINDING DOWN WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.
THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD TO PERSONNEL AS A ROTATING FAN
BLADE OF THIS NATURE CAN CAUSE HARM. ONLY CERTIFIED
TECHNICIANS SHOULD BYPASS PROPERLY SHUTTING DOWN
THE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO OPENING THE DOOR FOR ANY
REASON.

INTRODUCTION
The Defender by Schaefer™AV1000 Air Purication unit is
designed for ambient capture in commercial and institutional
settings. The fan is designed to move up to 1,000 CFM, capturing
and destroying chemical and biological contaminants.
How the AV1000 Works
1. Air is drawn into the AV1000 through the bottom grate.
2. Air is pulled through the carbon lter, which removes
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's).
3. Air moves through the antimicrobial pre-lter to remove
microorganisms.
4. Air is then further circulated through the destroy chamber
and any residual aerosolized particles are exposed to
germicidal UV-C light.
5. Air travels through the HEPA lter, which is 99.99% ecient at
0.3 micron particulate.
The combination of UV-C sterilization chamber with True HEPA*
ltration delivers 99.99% puried air back into the workplace.
Model Name AV1000
Airow 1,000 CFM (1,700 m³/hr)
Height 90.75 in. (2305.1 mm)
Width 30.72 in. (780.4 mm)
Depth 15.42 in. (391.8 mm)
Power Supply Single phase 115 V – 60 Hz
Current 10 amps
Weight 230 lbs. (104.3 kg)
Coverage Area 9,000 cu. ft. (836 m³)
UV-C Wavelength 254 nm
*A True HEPA ltration device or lter is the only type of HEPA lter that truly conforms to the
DOE standard for HEPA ltration, has the highest eciency, and hits the 99.97% threshold.
If the HEPA lter does not meet the DOE’s standards for HEPA ltration, then it is not
considered True HEPA.

Read all instructions prior to assembly.
Warranty is voided if the wall bracket is not installed and
correctly secured to the wall.
NOTE: Due to the variable nature of the location of placement,
the bolts for securing the unit to the wall are not included. A
qualied installer is required to select the appropriate bolts for
the specic structure.
REQUIRED TOOLS ( NOT Included)
• One (1) Medium Hex Key (5/32”)
1. Locate the studs for securing the L shape bracket (Fig.1) to
wall, consult an engineer if required, and follow all local
building codes and bylaws related to seismic restraint.
2. Put the unit in place and level it.
3. Remove 3 screws at the top of the unit, with included
Medium Hex Key.
4. Secure the L shape bracket (Fig. 2) to the unit with screws or
bolts. L bracket can either be mounted up or down.
5. Remove the bracket from the unit. Use the L shape bracket
as a guide to mark drill holes on the wall where the 3 screws
will go. Remove bracket from the wall and drill the holes. Bolt
the bracket back to the wall. Note: when cutting or drilling
into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
6. Line up slots on L shape brackets with the 3 screws that were
previously removed. Reinstall the 3 screws to the unit with
the Medium Hex Key and leave loose for nal adjustment.
7. Make sure unit sits at 90 degrees with a level. The unit comes
with four leveling legs, which can be adjusted to level the
unit. If you need to adjust the rear leveling legs, remove the
back cover. (Fig. 3)
8. Once the unit is leveled, tighten the 3 screws and unit to the L
shape bracket attached to the wall.
