Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and all other federal, state, provincial and local

regulations.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The PAS1200 is a multi-use air filtration device, equipped with pre-filters and a HEPA filter that are

capable of filtering many airborne contaminants. An optional carbon pre-filter for capturing low

concentrations of odors, vapors, gases, and volatile organic compounds, collectively known as OVG,

is also available.

Types of contaminants captured by particulate pre-filters, HEPA filter, or carbon filters:

• Dirt

• Dust

• Drywall dust

• Saw dust

Note: To capture low concentrations of OVG, a Vapor-Lockcarbon filter must be used.

The PAS1200 is capable of providingparticulate and odor,vapor, gas filtrationwith final stagefiltration

throughaHigh EfficiencyParticulateAir(HEPA) filter.ThePAS1200incorporatesa seriesof particulate

filters which successively remove larger size to smaller size particles from the air. In addition to

providing HEPAfiltration, the PAS1200 is primarily used in a negative pressure or recirculation mode.

A negative pressure condition is created in order to confine contaminated airborne particles. This

condition exists when the static pressure inside the room containing the unit is lower relative to the

pressureof theenvironment outsidethe room.Thestaticpressuredifferentialiscreated andmaintained

by continuously exhausting air out of a given room at a faster rate than air enters the room from all

othersources. Intherecirculationmode,allofthefilteredair isexhausted backinto theroom containing

theunit.

Standard Air Cleaning Stages (filters supplied with the unit)

The PAS1200 comes equipped with two progressively efficient particulate pre-filters mounted in the

pre-filter compartment, and a final stage HEPA filter, located in the lower section of the cabinet:

• Low concentrations of OVG

•Low concentrations of Volatile

Organic Compounds (VOC)

• Unpleasant nuisance odors

• Lung-damaging particles

• Metal fumes

• Smoke

• Mold and fungal spores

•The first-stage 1"-deep, coarse particulate pre-filter (F621) is designed to capture particles

100 microns or larger.

•The second-stage 2"-deep, pleated pre-filter (H502) is designed to capture particles 10

microns or larger.

•Each HEPA filter (H610C-99) is tested & certified to capture at least 99.97% (9,997 out of

10,000) 0.3-micron particles.

Note: The particulate filters in the PAS1200 do not remove odors, vapors or gases, including volatile

organic compounds.

Optional Vapor-Lock Carbon Filters (must be purchased separately)

Vapor-Lockpleated, high-capacity, carbon filters (part # VL1002) are available for capturing OVG.

This 2"-deep filter can be used as a third-stage pre-filter, to reduce airborne OVG by chemically

bonding the OVG molecules to the surface area of the carbon granules, via a process known as

adsorption. The VL1002 filter also provides a similar level of particulate filtration efficiency to the

H502pre-filter.

Effective carbon adsorption is dependent upon the amount of carbon & exposed carbon granule

surfaces, and the dwell (contact) time the OVG molecules have with the carbon granules.

Operating the unit at lower speed settings to increase dwell time can therefore improve OVG

adsorption, though it is highly unlikely that all of the OVG will be removed in one pass of air through

the unit. Operating the unit in the recirculation mode can increase effectiveness, by exposing OVG

particles to multiple passes through the Vapor-Lock filter.

It is almost impossible to provide accurate estimates to two commonly asked questions: “how

much time will it take to capture all of the OVG?”, and “how do I know when a carbon filter should be

replaced?” Unfortunately, unknown factors, such as concentration levels, fresh-air intake volume,

temperature, and humidity prevent establishment of any more accurate ‘rule of thumb’ than one’s

sense of smell. Since off-gassing of adsorbed OVG can occur when the adsorption capacity of the

filter is reached, replace the carbon filter as soon as odor breakthrough is sensed. More detailed

information on carbon adsorption can be found in an article titled: “Activated Carbon: How Is It

Used? How Does It Work?” which can be found on the Links and Articles page of the Mold

Abatement, Restoration & Renovation products section of theAbatement Technologies website,

www.abatement.com.

TO DETERMINE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PORTABLE AIR SCRUBBERS

Note: The Mold Abatement, Restoration & Renovation section of theAbatement Technologies

website, www.abatement.com, includes a handy Air Change Calculator for all PAS models.This

calculator provides users with a simple way to determine how many units are needed to provide a

given number of air changes per hour (ACH) in any size containment area, and eliminates the need

for user calculations. Simply enter the dimensions of the containment area, theACH required, and

select a built-in safety factor (SF) , to compensate for potential losses due to filter loading, inlet and

exhaust collars, ducting, etc. (Please note that use of a SF is recommended, but not required). The

calculator does the rest.

To determine the number of units required without using the Air Change Calculator, proceed as

follows:

1. Calculate the volume inside containment (V), in cubic feet, by multiplying the length of the

area (L) x the width of the area (W) x the ceiling height (H), in feet.

2. Determine the minimumACH required in the job specification.

3. Select a safety factor (SF). Most users build-in between 10% (SF = 1.1) and 25% (SF =

1.25), or more. If you don’t wish to use a SF, proceed to Step 4.

4. Calculate the minimum total airflow required (Total CFM), as follows:

Total CFM = (V xACH x SF) ÷60.

5. # Units Required = Total CFM ÷CFM rating for the Unit.

6. Always round up to the next whole number. For example, if the minimum requirement is 2.1

units, 3 units are recommended, not 2.

Example 1:

How many 900 CFM units are needed to provide at least 6ACH in a 25’ x 30’x 10’ containment area,

with a 20% safety factor?

V = 25 x 30 x 10 = 7,500 Cubic Feet

Total CFM = (7,500 x 6 x 1.2)÷60 = 900 CFM

Minimum # PAS Units Req’d = 900 CFM ÷900 CFM (airflow of unit) = 1 Unit Required

Example 2:

How many 900 CFM units are needed to provide at least 5ACH in a 50’ x 42’x 10’ containment area,

with a 25% safety factor?

V = 50 x 42 x 10 = 21,000 Cubic Feet

Total CFM = (21,000 x 5 x 1.25) ÷60 = 2,188 CFM

Minimum # Units = 2,188 ÷900 = 2.4 = 3 Units Required

Note: This example illustrates the importance of a Safety Factor. If no SF were used, only 1,750

CFM (2 units) would be required.

PAS1200 TRANSPORT

Note: The PAS1200 can be transported in the horizontal position. If extremely poor road conditions

exist, or excessive shock and vibration are expected, take precautionary measures by padding the

unit to provide impact absorption during transport.

Caution: Always use caution when moving the PAS1200 inside a building or home. The unit weighs

85 pounds. Older structures with weakened floors or staircases may require special considerations

for safe transport.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

1. The PAS1200 requires a minimum of 110 volts AC, 60 Hz to operate properly; however,

maximum airflow performance requires 120 volts AC, 60 Hz.

2. Due to momentary start-up current surge, the unit requires a 15 amp circuit that is free of other

loads.

3. Extension cords used for the PAS1200 must be UL listed, heavy duty No. 14/3AWG industrial

grade 3-wire type. Use of larger numerical gauge (lower capacity wire) power cord(s) may result

in electrical shock, fire hazards and/or damage to unit. The cord(s) must be in good condition

and in continuous lengths (no splicing) and should not exceed a total of 50 feet in length. Make

certain that any extension cords used do not reduce power to the unit to less than 110 volts. Use

of a voltmeter to confirm adequate voltage is recommended.

4. Check to ensure that any circuit to which the unit is connected is protected by a 15 ampere

circuit breaker.The unit itself is equipped with a 10 amp circuit breaker.

5. The PAS1200 should be connected to a three-prong, properly grounded electrical outlet equipped

with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) device. A GFCI is an electrical safety device that will trip

the circuit and stop the flow of electricity if leakage of current is detected.

Important Note: The GFCI on the PAS1200 control panel only detects leakage of current

from the unit or an electrical device plugged into the GFCI. The PAS1200 should be

plugged into a GFCI receptacle at the power source to protect the power cord and the unit.

This GFCI will trip the circuit if it detects leakage of current from the power cord or unit.

6. To avoid personal injury, fire hazards and/or damage to the PAS1200 electrical system and power

cord, do not connect or disconnect the power cord to an electrical outlet unless the motorized

impeller is “OFF”.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE OPERATION

1. Never allow unauthorized individuals or children to operate the unit at any time.

2. AbatementTechnologies urgesanyoneoperating thePAS1200to wearthe proper personalprotective

equipment and follow safe work practices in accordance with federal, state, provincial and employer

regulations.

3. Check the condition of power cord(s) before using them. Damaged cords can cause fatal electric

shock and/or motorized impeller failure.

4. Power cord(s) should never be exposed to water, heat, sharp, or abrasive objects; in addition, they

should never be kinked or crushed. Avoid tightly wrapping the cords to prevent kinking of the internal

wires.Always replace damaged power cords immediately.

5. Never pull the unit by the power cord.

6. Avoid running over power cords with utility equipment and vehicles.

Important Safety Instructions

a. Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug. Discard unit or return it to an

authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

b. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar

coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from

traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

Caution: As with any piece of electrical equipment, always make sure that the unit is turned “OFF”

prior to connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet or disconnecting it from an electrical outlet.

Failure to do so will cause “arcing”, and could result in personal injury, fire hazards and/or damage to

the unit. Do not disconnect the power cord from supply receptacle while the unit is operating.

Warning: To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not expose this unit to water or rain. Do not touch

the electrical outlet or power cord(s) with wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp surface.

Warning: Risk of electrical shock! Can cause injury or death! Turn unit “OFF” and disconnect

power cord from supply receptacle before replacing the HEPA filter and before cleaning or

servicing the unit.

Warning: The PAS1200 is equipped with an automatic restart motorized impeller that will restart

without warning after a temporary power interruption or recovery from a thermal overload (over-

heating) condition. Keep clear of the motorized impeller at all times to reduce the risk of injury.

Warning: To reduce risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the PAS1200 with any solid state

speed control device. Do not use in a cooking area.

Caution: The PAS1200 is designed for indoor use only.

PAS1200 CONTROL PANEL

1. Power Cord - Hardwired, 10 foot power cord for

connection to electrical outlet.

2. Speed Control Switch - Serves as the power

switch and provides a variable adjustment to the

speed of the motorized impeller.

3. Power Indicator - Green light that indicates speed

control switch is “ON” and system is connected to

power source.

4. Hour Meter- Provides a count of the total operating

hours.

5. Filter Change Indicator - Primary – Amber light that indicates excessive restriction on air intake or

loading of the pre-filter(s) and that filter change procedures should be followed.

6. Filter Change Indicator - HEPA- Amber light that indicates excessive restriction on air exhaust or

loading of the HEPA filter and that filter change procedures should be followed.

7. Circuit Breaker - 10 amp circuit breaker that provides protection for the unit’s electrical components.

8. GFCI Receptacle - Electrical safety device that will trip and stop the flow of electricity if leakage of

current is detected from the unit or an electrical device plugged into the GFCI receptacle. The PAS1200

can supply a total of 7 amps of electrical power for additional equipment that is connected to the GFCI

receptacle. Do not exceed this 7 amp limit.

Note: If the equipment connected to the GFCI receptacle draws more than a total of 7 amps, the circuit

breaker on the control panel and/or the building breaker will trip. This condition can be remedied only by

reducing the total amperage draw.

BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT, NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

The rear axle, 2 rear wheels, 2 bushings for securing the wheels to the axle and anAllen wrench are packed

in a separate box that is included with the PAS1200. Place the axle through the circular opening in the lower

rear section of the cabinet and center the axle. Slide the wheels and bushings onto the axle and tighten the

bushings in place using the Allen wrench. Refer to FigureA.

Inspect and tighten any HEPA filter retaining nuts that may have loosened during transportation. Inspect the

filters for any material or structural damage prior to use and replace any damaged filters before operating the

unit. Whenremovingany filterspriorto operation,alwaysput thembackin placewithairflow indicatoronfilter

housing oriented in the proper direction (if applicable).

As with any air filtration system, external airflow losses not attributable to the air filtration unit will

reduce the airflow of the system. The following recommendations can minimize airflow losses created

by external static resistance.

1. Always use the minimum length of ducting possible with the fewest possible number of turns

and bends.

2. Rigid metal ducting creates less turbulence and consequently less airflow loss than flexible

ducting. Regardless of the type of ducting used, rigid, “sweep-type’, radiused connections

should be used for all turns and bends.

3. If flexible ducting is used, it must be kept as taut as possible to avoid flattening.

LOCATION OF THE UNITS AND MODES OF OPERATION

1. Negative Pressure - used to help ensure that airborne contaminants do not escape from a

contained area, by maintaining negative (lower) air pressure within that area compared to

adjacent areas. This is generally accomplished by placing the unit inside the containment

area and exhausting filtered air from the unit out of the area. The filtered air must be

exhausted outside of the containment area, either directly to the outdoors, or into another

part of the building. To maintain negative pressure, the air exhaust must exceed the air

supply by the greater of: 10% or 100 CFM. To achieve this differential, the air supply volume

to the area may have to be reduced. Negative pressure levels should be continuously

monitored.

2. Recirculation -used to reduce concentrations of airborne contaminants in a room or area

by continuously cleaning the air and exhausting it back into the same room or area.

3. Positive Pressure - used to help prevent airborne contaminants from entering a

containment area, by keeping that area under positive pressure compared to adjacent

spaces, so any air leakage will be an outflow of clean air, and not inflow of contaminated air.

This pressure differential can be established by:

a. placing the unit inside the containment area, and using it to pull air into the area by

attaching flex duct between the inlet collar and a location outside of the containment

area.

b. placing the unit outside of containment area, and using it to push HEPA-filtered air

into the area through flex duct attached between the outlet collar and a location inside

the area.

To ensure that the proper pressure differential is maintained, the volume of HEPA-filtered air

supplied to the area must be the greater of: 10% or 100 CFM higher than the volume of air

exhausted from it by the HVAC system. Positive pressure levels should be monitored

continuously.

Important Note: Do not operate the unit unless the pre-filter(s) and HEPA filter are installed,

and the filter access door and panel are in place and closed.

DAISY CHAINING

“Daisy Chaining” refers to the operation of multiple units on one circuit, with only one of the units

plugged into a 120V/15A electrical power supply receptacle. Each subsequent unit is plugged into

one of the GFCI receptacles on the prior unit, up to the maximum number allowed based on the

amperage draw per unit. The National Electrical Code limits the total amperage draw of devices

operating on one circuit to 80% of full load, which means that the total amperage draw on a 120V/

15A circuit, including the unit plugged into the building electrical power supply receptacle, must not

exceed 12 amps.

A total of three PAS1200 units can be “Daisy Chained” on a 15 amp circuit, including the unit

plugged into the building electrical power supply receptacle.

TO START UNIT

1. Check to make sure that the Speed Control Switch is in the “OFF” position. Plug power cord into

a 120 volt AC, 60Hz, 15 amp supply circuit.

2. Turn Speed Control switch clockwise past the click at the “HIGH” setting to turn power “ON”.

3. Set Speed Control switch to desired setting.

Note: Refer to the chart in this instruction manual entitled “AIRFLOW RATINGS” that lists the

airflows for the PAS1200.

Note: In the event of a power failure while the unit is running, or loss of power due to any

other cause, this unit’s motorized impeller will re-start when power is restored, after a brief

delay.

FILTER CHANGE INDICATORS

“Primary” light “ON” indicates one or more of the following:

1. Loaded pre-filter(s). Refer to filter change procedures.

2. Restrictions on air intake. Refer to Troubleshooting Guide.

“HEPA” light “ON” indicates the following:

1. Loaded HEPA filter. Refer to filter change procedures.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

Note: Personnel responsible for changing filters, servicing units or relocating units within

the facility are urged to wear the proper personal protective equipment and follow safe work

practices in accordance with federal, state, provincial, and employer regulations.

Note: Filters being replaced must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, provincial,

local and facility regulations.

System airflow reduction is generally the result of filter loading, blockage of the unit’s inlet or use of

excessive lengths of flex duct that is connected to the inlet.

Thesize andconcentrationof airbornecontaminants,temperature andhumidityconditions,andduration

of use determine how often filters need replacement. If the Filter Change Indicator(s) on the control

panel illuminate, this indicates one or more of the following: (1) pre-filter(s) are loaded, (2) the inlet or

exhaust is obstructed, (3) the flex duct, if attached to inlet or exhaust, is too long or has too many

bends, and (4) the HEPA filter is loaded.

Themethodof determiningwhen toreplace theoptionalactivated carbonfilter issomewhat subjective.

As the odor, vapor, and/or gas filtration capacity decreases, the user will begin to sense a slight odor

or taste of the contaminant, indicating that the filter should be replaced.

Note: The filters are not reusable, therefore, do not attempt to clean and reuse them.

Caution:Abatement Technologies PAS1200 Portable Air Scrubber units are designed to meet

or exceed standards for high efficiency air filtration equipment. Use only Abatement

Technologies parts, including replacement filters. Use of non-Abatement Technologies parts

and filters voids the product warranty and all performance claims.

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, always turn the PAS1200

“OFF” and disconnect the power cord from supply receptacle before replacing the HEPA

filter and before cleaning or servicing the unit.
