FILTERS

Pre-Filter (16” x 19” x 1”)
The pre-filter has three layers of cleaning. This filter collects most of the larger particles that enter the purifier.
Polypropylene Mesh. This captures many larger particulates using static electricity to capture the particles.
Polyester Fiber Mesh. This layer captures additional particles. (Part Number F0068) Carbon Pad
This is for odor protection. (Part Number F0069)

HEPA Filter (16” x 19” x 2.5”)
The HEPA Filter included in your purifier is a medical grade filter used in hospitals and other medical facilities due to its ability to remove 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria down to .3 microns. (Part Number F60189)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS use safe and common sense precautions when working with Air-Care equipment. Do not block walkways with equipment. Remove delicate and breakable articles from the immediate work area. The following are precautions that should be reviewed by all persons who will be involved in the cleaning activity.

• Other than the filters, there are no user serviceable components in the Triton 440. Only trained technicians should attempt to make internal repairs on this equipment.
• Always turn off the main power switch on the control panel, or disconnect the power before opening or removing the back or removing the filters from the Triton 440.
• Be sure all power cords and electrical extensions are rated to meet or exceed the original Air-Care power cords (12 gauge), and inspect all AC power plug to be sure the Ground Pin is in place.
• Never connect power to Air-Care equipment unless all covers, and safety shields are in place. Mechanical and electrical parts.
• Never allow anyone except a properly trained technician to use the equipment or/and cleaning products.
• All Air-Care equipment is designed for US standard 115 volt, 60 Hz AC. Most Air-Care equipment can be special ordered to meet other worldwide standards for a reasonable price and delivery schedule. Always check the specifications on the equipment before connecting electrical power to Air-Care equipment. The Triton 440 can be special quoted for 220 Volt 50 Hz but may incur additional costs and may not provide the same performance as the 60 Hz model.

OPERATING THE TRITON 440
VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
DO NOT TURN ON THE
TRITON 440 PURIFIER WITH THE ACCESS DOOR OPEN

1. Place the unit in the desired location
2. Before operating the unit, check to see if the fan speed knob is in the OFF POSITION
3. Plug one end of the electrical cord to the socket in the back of the Triton 440
4. Place the other end of the electrical cord into an electrical outlet
5. Turn the speed knob clockwise to your desired fan speed setting.

CALCULATE ROOM SIZE FOR EFFECTIVE PURIFICATION

AIR EXCHANGE BASED ON ROOM SIZE
The size and number of machines depends on the volume of the space being cleaned as well as how many Air Changes per Hour (ACH) are required by local regulation. As a starting point, calculate the square footage of the room or rooms, multiply by the ceiling height. It is generally recommended to have 3 to 4 air changes per hour in occupied areas
SMALL ROOMS 10’ X 10’ X 8’ = 600 CUBIC FEET = 32 EXCHANGES OF AIR PER HOUR
MEDIUM ROOMS 20’ X 20’ X 8’ = 3200 CUBIC FEET = 8 EXCHANGES OF AIR PER HOUR
LARGE ROOMS 20’ X 40’ X 8’ = 6400 CUBIC FEET = 4 EXCHANGES OF AIR PER HOUR
EXTRA LARGE ROOMS 30’ X 40’ X 8’ = 9600 CUBIC FEET = 3 EXCHANGES OF AIR PER HOUR
The Triton 440 circulates ambient air through its filter system and exhausts clean air into that environment.
The Triton 440 is small enough to be placed inconspicuously in a corner of a room or beside a piece of furniture and quiet enough to not hinder normal conversation.
Multiple units and be used larger areas to distribute the filtration without requiring ducting in the room.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER USING ONE OR MORE OF THESE DEVICES?
There are only a few universal regulations or standards, but to say it is all guesswork is not at all true. On a construction site where large amounts of fine dust are generated, it would be expected that the workers would be wearing eye protection as well as some type of respirator to protect their lungs. If the site was adjacent to an office with a full staff, it would be unthinkable to start the work without a temporary barrier of plastic sheeting to prevent the dust from covering the occupants and the office equipment. If the dust was potentially toxic and the particles were too small to be seen by the naked eye, even more protection for both the workers and the adjacent occupants would be required. This is the basic reason, it is necessary to filter the air in the work area, and to put that contaminated area in a “Negative Pressure” condition.
The size and number of machines depends on the volume of the space being cleaned as well as how many Air Changes per Hour (ACH) are required by local regulation. As a starting point, calculate the square footage of the room or rooms, multiply by the ceiling height. It is generally recommended to have 3 to 4 air changes per hour in occupied areas. To convert this requirement to a Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) spec for the Air Purifier, multiply the Volume of the work area by 4 (or 3) changes/Hour then divide by 60 Minutes/Hour. To calculate the required CFM to filter the air in a room that is 15 feet wide by 40 feet long with an 8-foot ceiling, plug in the size of the room in the formulas for either 3 or 4 air changes per hour (ACH)As the filters become loaded, the effective cfm will drop slightly, so be sure you have a little more capacity than the minimum.
Air Purifiers may be required to circulate and filter the air within one or more of the contaminated areas to be collect contaminates as they are released into the air, as well as making certain there are no “dead spots” in the contained area where there could be a contaminate buildup.

PURIFIER MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE PURIFIER
The outside of your purifier should be cleaned occasionally with germicidal soap and water.
THE PRE-FILTER
The prefilter/filter pad will most likely be the part that is contaiminated the quickest as it traps larger particulates in the air.
REPLACING THE FILTER PAD
It is recommended that you wear protective clothing and gloves as this filter will most likely be very dirty with captured contaminants.

1. Remove the polypropylene mesh
2. Remove the dirty pad and dispose
3. Insert new pad and return the polypropylene esh.
