HEPA Air Scrubber
(HEPAPro AS800)
The HEPAPro AS800 is a compact, portable HEPA Air Scrubber for abatement, resto-
ration, and construction projects. It is commercial, yet lightweight machine that is
easy to carry, transport and store. The unit has a 22”x 24” footprint, stands only 14”
tall and weighs less than 35 lbs.
HEPAPro AS800 oers variable airow, up to 800 CFM, that can be directed both
vertically or horizontally. It accepts a 16”inlet ex duct and a 10”lay at outlet duct.
The unit operates at less than two amps of power. It is capable of providing 4 air
changes per hour (the recommended minimum) in a 7500 cubic foot room (more
than a 30’ x 30’x 8’).
This HEPA air scrubber oers a 2-stage lter design including a tested and certied
HEPA lter and pleated pre-lter. An optional carbon/potassium permanganate
lter is available to absorb a wide range of odors and gases.

Air Ducting
If area to be ltered is dicult to access, congested or the air scrubber cannot be located within, air can be ducted to the
unit’s inlet. A round 16” diameter exible duct can be attached to the unit inlet. It connects by placing the wire in the
ductovertheductcollarlipatonelocationandworkingoveritoverthelipgradually.
Outlet Ducting
A detachable trapezoid shaped exhaust ring is supplied that will allow 10” round lay-at plastic duct to be attached to
the exhaust outlet. To attach ducting to the collar, remove the ring from the unit by pressing release tab at the top of the
grill. Put the plastic duct end through the inside of the ring. Roll the duct end outward so that it over-laps the outside of
thering.Cliptheringbackontotheexhaustgrill.
Negative Air Ducting
HEPAPro AS800 can be used to lter and exhaust air from an enclosed containment area. When exhausting air outside
the containment area, the air inside the containment area must be under slight negative pressure. This will help prevent
airborne particles from leaving the containment area, because negative pressure will draw air in through openings in
the space’s exterior surfaces.
Ducting
Power/Speed Control
The power/speed switch is located on the control panel. It powers the motor and impeller fan. Occasionally the impeller fan may
not start on the low speed setting. If this occurs, rotate the speed control to high speed until the impeller fan starts, then adjust it
to a lower speed.

all devices plugged into the receptacle must not exceed 10 amps.

Air Filters
The HEPAPro AS800 is equipped with two lters that progressively lter out smaller particles. An optional activated carbon/potas-
siumpermanganateltercanbealsoadded.Theseltersmustbecheckedregularly.Operatingtheunitwithdirtylterswillreduce

Filter Replacement
Warranty
Whenamber“lterchangelight”illuminates,itistimetoreplaceoneorbothl-
ters. Remove all ducting and run the air scrubber on high speed. If the lter light
remains lit; replace the pre-lter and run on high again. If the light remains illumi-
nated, it is time to replace the HEPA lter.
The life of the optional Activated Carbon/Potassium Permanganate Filters depend
on the hours used and the level of contaminants recovered. The activated carbon
removes the heavier volatile organics while the potassium permanganate removes
lowermolecularweightcontaminantssuchassmokeodorspresentafterredam-
age. An advantage of the blended media versus activated carbon only is that part
ofthe blendchangescolorasit loadsup withcontaminants.Itstarts outblack,
thenturnspink,thenbrown,andnallywhite.Itisbestchangedwhenitpasses
the brown stage and begins to turn white. It has lost most of its eectiveness at
that point.
