Operaon
Once installed using the above instrucons, your AF-24XX air cleaner(s) can be operated with the ip of a switch.
Because the AF-24XX series is designed as an “Air quality Maintenance” system, it is important that the units are
turned on in the beginning of the shi and le on unl the end of the shi. The reason the units need to remain on is
because Air Cleaners train the air current throughout the enre area in order to ensure that all of the air is cycling
through the lters. The process of training the air can take a while, but is usually about 30 minutes.
Maintenance
Follow these precauons when performing maintenance on the motor or blower.
Turn o motor, and LOCK OUT electrical service to the unit.
LOCK OUT even when changing lters.
Change lters regularly to maintain opmum performance. If the performance of your air cleaners appears to be
declining, try replacing the lters.
Be sure that replacement lters are always rated for the correct CFM and air ow.
NOTE FOR INSTALLING BAG FILTERS:
When installing berglass bag lters, MAKE SURE THAT NO FABRIC IS PINCHED BETWEEN THE HEADER
AND FILTER FRAME. Performance will decrease dramacally if bag lters are not properly installed. To ensure no
fabric is pinched, place your ngers inside each cell, and gently move each bag cell side to side, freeing any fabric
sandwiched between the header and lter frame.
If the system requires maintenance exceeding lter change, read below…
Take the unit down and place it on a level surface that allows access to the access panels on each side of the Main
Housing. To access the motor, pulleys and belt: Remove the door panel by removing (16) ¼-20x1-1/4” bolts with a
3/8 socket.

new belt. Release rotary tensioner. Test run for alignment.
Air cleaner has poor perfor-
mance. 1. It’s possible that the air cleaner may have been wired backwards upon instal-
laon. Air will blow out the exhaust
either way, but if wired correctly it
should blow at about 58 mph.
1. If the motor is wired to run the wrong direcon, disconnect
power supply, & switch the necessary wires around to reverse
the motors rotaon with the voltage you are using.
2. The bag lter may not be seated
properly 2. Reach in each pocket to make sure fabric is not between lter stop and lter frame.
Air is not staying as clear as
usual 1. Prelters may be loaded with debris 1. Turn unit o, lock out power to unit, then replace the prel-
ter by pushing clips out of the way and then sliding it out and
sliding a new one in.
2. Bag lter(s) may be spent
2. Follow step (1) to remove the prelter, then if unit is
equipped with clips, push them out and away from the bag
lter, slide out the old bag lter and slide in new one unl clips

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
AIR CLEANERS
1. Install AF-24XX series air cleaners
according to all electrical and safety
codes as well as the Naonal Electrical
Code (NEC) Naonal Fire Protecon
Associaon (NFPA) and the
Occupaonal Safety and Health Act
(OSHA). Only someone who is
qualied to do electrical work should
wire the units in.
2. These air cleaners are intended to
be installed at least 8.2 feet (2.5
meters) above the oor.
3. Specic duct design and dust
collector conguraons are required
under standards set forth by the
Naonal Fire Protecon Associaon
(NFPA). These are applicable when
collecng potenally reacve metal
dusts (like aluminum, magnesium and
other materials). NFPA also has

This informaon may contain
safeguards that are required for the
installaon, operaon and service of
AF-24XX series products.
!WARNING!
4. Avoid mixing combusble
materials like (but not limited to) the
following: bung lint, paper/wood
dust, aluminum or magnesium with
dust generated from the grinding of
ferrous materials. This creates a
potenal for res due to the mixing of
sparks and combusble materials.
5. A machine operator should NEVER
be allowed to put lit cigarees or any
burning object into this or any dust
control system.
6. If there is a chance for heated and/
or ammable materials to enter the
unit, installaon of the unit should be
evaluated to determine if a re
protecon/exhauson systems should
be installed. Federal, State or local
codes, as required by organizaons
such as NFPA and Factory Mutual
Insurance or your insurance carrier
may require such a system. Tanis
Technologies can oer basic
guidelines for such an installaon:
however, nal installaon design is
the responsibility of the purchaser.
7. Securely anchor unit to a permanent
or xed supporng structure, be sure
the structure is rated to hold the
weight of the unit.
8. Support this unit or clamp it to the
work surface when using it in a
portable applicaon to eliminate
potenal injury or damage to the unit
9. Ensure that the intake and exhaust
areas are clear prior to starng the
unit. Clogged intakes or exhaust can
cause explosion and/or re.
10. Keep arms and ngers away from
fan. Avoid all exposure to rotang
parts to prevent injury.
11. Do not aempt to remove/replace
lters while unit is running. Fan
blades can cause severe cuts. Be sure

Tanis Technologies 24 Series Filtraon Unit Revised 07.01.2020
the unit is disconnected from power
source
12. Maintain the unit in top condion.
Clogged lters can increase potenal
for re or explosion. Follow
instrucons for changing lters.
13. Turn the unit “o” and disconnect
power source before installing or
removing accessories, before adjusng
or changing set-ups or when making
repairs. An accidental start up can
cause serious injury.
14. Explosion relief vents are required
for some applicaons. Consult with an
insurance underwriter or an NFPA
manual to determine proper vent size
and rao. UNIT DOES NOT CONTAIN
EXPLOSION RELIEF VENTS as shipped
from the factory and must be eld
installed per NFPA standards.
15. The AF-24XX series units are made
to run connuously, check the lters
regularly for built-up debris.
Frequency of lter changes will
depend upon the environment in
which the unit is running.
16. To maintain warranty, be sure to
use only lters that are approved by
the manufacturer.
INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION
BEFORE OPERATING:
Disclaimer:
Although instrucons and
recommendaons are included for
installaon of your air ltraon
system, the manufacturer does not
assume responsibility for the
installaon of this equipment nor shall
be held liable for direct or
consequenal damages resulng from
improper methods, structural failure
or inadequate supports.
Installaon: (Diagram on PG. 5)
Installaon methods will depend upon
the style of intake opons that were
selected when your system was
ordered. The following is a basic guide
line and only a suggeson. A
professional installer should be
consulted.
One opon is to mount Uni-Strut to
the building structure, dangle
threaded rod through the holes in the
strut with a nut and washer 6” down
and under the strut. Li the unit up
unl the top of the unit taps the
threaded rod. Thread the connector
nuts onto the ½” studs provided in the
top of the unit. Start a ½” nut on the
threaded rod to be used as a jam nut.
Now screw the threaded rod into the
connector nuts and ghten up the jam
nuts.
The unit can now be lowered and the
nuts under the strut can be ghtened
up to nish the suspension.
The uni-strut rails, nuts, and threaded
rods are not provided with the units.
Again, mounng instrucons are only
a suggeson. Tanis Technologies is
indemnied from any liability related
to improper installaon. Improper
installaon could result in person
injury and/or damage to the unit.
Noise Declaraon
The gures shown are emissions levels
and are not necessarily safe working
levels. While there is a correlaon
between the emission and exposure
levels, this cannot be used reliably to
determine whether or not further
precauons are required.
