INSTALLATION

READ THROUGH THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT.

SYSTEM PLACEMENT

• Observe all safety precautions as detailed in the Safety Precautions section of this manual.

• Ideal operating condition is between -20ºC and +40ºC ambient temperature.

• For best performance, position equipment in a central open area of the building.

• For spaces/ areas under 200,000 sq. ft, it’s recommended to install a minimum of one system per 40,000 sq. ft for energy savings and destratification applications and one system per 20,000 sq. ft for high filtration applications.

• Equipment can be located adjacent to wall(s), with minimum 6” of clearance, 2 sides must be unobstructed.

• Ensure clear, unobstructed airflow into filters for optimum performance.

• For placement, to help mitigate specific facility issues during cold or warm outdoor weather climates:

• For Cold Outdoor Climate Weather
  o If you are experiencing issues with “Cold Air Infiltration” through loading dock doors, you can locate the Atomic Air nearby loading docks and shipping areas where cold air ingress/drafts are present.
  The equipment will help to redistribute incoming cold air by propelling it towards the ceiling, this naturally causes the warm air to be pushed down and mix with the cooler incoming air – immediately raising the temperature at occupant level. This prevents the incoming cold air mass from travelling throughout your facility while simultaneously warming your shipping and receiving area workers and clearing the air of fumes and dust generated by trucks  and forklifts.

• For Warm Outdoor Climate Weather
  o Often during warm weather, facilities can experience stagnant air. For this application the Atomic Air system has an optional “Summer Hood” which redirects airflow horizontally. This provides a light, cooling breeze to the local  area. If you did not purchase a summer hood, please reach out to your local dealer for details.

PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING

• Ensure to remove all packaging.
• Place unit on flat level surface and lock caster feet, ensure unit is stationary.
• Confirm fan alignment and bearing integrity by ensuring fan impeller rotates freely and does not rub, it should move smoothly and quietly. Refer to the Care and Maintenance section of this manual for impeller check instructions.

FILTERS
Refer to the Operation section of this manual for the pressure gauge readings that indicate when cleaning is required.
Follow your local regulations and protocols for filter cleaning intervals and dust collection related to specific contaminants and pollutants.
Over-cleaning your filters is not recommended. Filters become MORE efficient over time as dust and dirt collect on the filter, the airway path between the fibers narrows, resulting in higher efficiency in dust and dirt collection.

REGULAR CLEANING OF YOUR WASHABLE/RE-USEABLE FILTERS:

1. Remove all 5 filters, take note of the front outer facing (dirty) side of each filter as you remove it from the equipment. Turn the latches on the sides of the unit to release the filter and lift out. Similarly turn the latches on the bottom filter then lift and slide out.
2. Bring filters outside to an open area or to a safe handling location to collect debris.
3. Use compressed air on the backside (side facing inside equipment when installed) to blow off particulate and build up on the filter. A face mask is recommended to prevent inhalation of debris.
4. Place filters back in your system in the same orientation (front side facing out) until your next scheduled cleaning. Insert bottom filter first and turn latches to secure, then insert side filters and turn side latches to secure.

For occasional deep cleaning of your filters a pressure washer may be used. This is only recommended two to four times per year.
Be aware of the airflow direction sticker to ensure you cleaned them correctly and replaced them with the correct side facing out.
IMPORTANT: Always place the same side of the filter facing out after cleaning.

FAN
