that are used when hanging the unit from an overhead structure.
Step 1A. Store units on 4’ side until ready to install, to prevent damage to the motor
vibration grommets.
Step 1B. Carefully remove the unit from the shipping carton and inspect for any
damage that may have occurred during transportation. (see Figure 1)

Step 3. Raise the unit and secure it into place using “S” hooks and chain to
suspend it from an overhead structure (supplied by others).
Step 4. Plug the unit into the appropriate voltage (115V, 277V A.C.) grounded
receptacle (if purchased with optional power cord) or hard wire according
to the wiring diagram (section VIII), page 10.

Non-Laminar Flow and/or Excessive Contamination
Step 1. Insure that no large obstructions are upstream of airflow pattern.
Step 2. Determine that no other air-moving devices are operating in or around clean
room which disrupt room’s airflow pattern.
Step 3. Check air velocity and if low, conduct the “Low Air Velocity” procedure
outlined above.

IX. TESTING
Each ELIMINATOR filter unit is thoroughly tested at the factory before shipment.
However, because of the “rigors” of shipping, TRION encourages its re-test after
installation.
TRION recommends that the customer contact an independent organization, with
technicians trained and experienced in performance evaluation and maintenance of clean
air equipment.
Some of the testing procedures performed on the ELIMINATOR include aerosol
challenge of HEPA filters to assure specified performance, along with air velocity
measurement and adjustment tests.
