Information about the device Device description Air cleaners are used to filter the room air. On building sites and renovation areas high concentrations of dust can arise, for instance when using angle grinders or during blasting, chiselling or demolition operations as well as when mixing dry mortar or tile cement. Depending on the inserted filter, the air cleaners of the TACseries serve to eliminate various dusts, e.g. from asbestos, building rubble, quartz, flour, wood, etc., but also mould spores, paint particles and mineral fibres in the air, possibly arising during the above-mentioned operations. This dust is to be vacuumed off as close as possible to the point of origin in order to reduce the pollution of the breathing air to a minimum. Depending on the used filter quality it is permissible to employ the device for the separation of quartziferous mineral dusts, wood dust, lead-containing dusts, artificial mineral fibres or high-temperature fibres. Application as vacuum generator for mould remediation and asbestos abatement is also a possibility. In case of other hazardous substances there are additional requirements; hence observe the corresponding Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances (TRGS) or the country-specific regulations. The device is suited for:

• producing a vacuum in a room, e.g. in heavily contaminated spaces;

• air purification in workspaces via air circulation, e.g. indoor building sites, workshops etc.;

• producing overpressure in a room, e.g. cleanroom;

• supplying filtered fresh air. The device is structured as follows:

• housing with stacking aid

• adjustable fan for air transport

• filter monitoring for air volume flow The device may be equipped with various filters. It provides the user with the possibility of configuring both the filter quality and the filter chain arrangement for the respective field of application. The filters must be selected according to the area of application. The device is approvable for asbestos abatement as per TRGS519, dust classH. Info The filters are not included in the scope of delivery! Choose the filters according to the area of application from our filter range. Insert the selected filters prior to initial start-up.EN 5 air cleaner TAC 3500 Device depiction

Notice For all filter installations always observe the correct flow direction according to the direction of the air current (air flow direction: from back to front)!

BOX 1: PRE-FILTER BOX

The pre-filter box can be equipped with a coarse filterG and/or a fine filterF. We recommend using at least one coarse filter for pre-cleaning, so as to maximize the service life of the subsequent filter.

• coarse filter G: Z-line filter G4(14)

• fine filter F: pleated M5 to F9(16) The coarse filter is to be assembled in a way that it is the first in the air stream.

One of the following main filter types is inserted in the FILTER BOX. Version I: High-efficiency particulate air filter: E10 to H14 or dust classM toH(15) The high-efficiency particulate air filter is inserted in the filter box with its clip-on frame as follows:

1. Pull the clip-on frame out of the guiding grooves.

2. Attach the clip-on frame to the air outlet side of the HEPA

3. Push HEPAfilter and clip-on frame into filter box2. Make

sure that the clip-on frame again fits into the guiding grooves. If applicable, place the HEPA filter with the clip-on frame on a table and fit filter box2 to the clip-on frame from above.

VersionII– alternative: Bag filter: M5 to F9 When a bag filter is used, the fine filter in pre-filter box1 may be omitted. The bag filter is simply inserted in the filter box without further assembly. The clip-on frame does not need to be removed for this. Notice When the device warns of a spent pre-filter (box1) or main filter (box2), still a flow rate of 500m³/h (TAC1500) or 1000m³/h (TAC3500) is ensured. For an effective filtration of pollutants the scheduled directives of the (German) employer's liability insurance association recommend to exchange the filter. Filter types (not included in the scope of delivery) The designated air filters are especially geared to these devices and come with the largest possible filter surface based on the geometric dimensions. This ensures maximum air flow rate and service life for safe operation.

No. Designation 14 Z-line filter G4 15 HEPAfilter E10 to H14/ dust classM+H 16 pleated filterM5 toF9 17 bag filterM5 toF9 The Vario-shift function provides the user with the possibility of selecting the filter quality and the filter ladder according to the case of application and the applicable rules and regulations. Filter ladder and configuration depend on the pollutant particle size, filtration efficiency and the field of application. The filter technology is monitored by sensors. For proper monitoring of the filter function sensor hose lines are connected to both filter boxes.8 EN air cleaner TAC 3500 Configuration A General configuration for the air filtration of coarse dusts and fine particulates or the separation of suspended matter according to EN60335-2-69 up to dust classH. Here the filtration of dust particles and other suspended material harmful and hazardous to health has priority. The filter ladder must be operated in a vacuum, i.e. with terminal fan: the fan is to be arranged downstream of the main filter FILTER BOX2. Configuration B Here air is usually lead from a contaminated area into a clean area, e.g. as filtered fresh air supply. Suspended matter as per EN1822-1:1998 up to filter classH14 can be filtered, a higher filtration efficiency is possible with a reduced air volume. The filter ladder is operated at excess pressure, i.e. with terminal fine filter: the fan is to be arranged upstream of the main filter FILTER BOX2. The TACseries is equipped with Vario-shift function. This means that the filter elements can be variably arranged for all application scenarios and in line with the regulations. Side view electrics:

• Before restarting the device, check the condition of the power cable. If there are doubts as to the sound condition, contact the customer service.

• Place the device in an upright and stable position on a horizontal and stable surface.

• Do not create tripping hazards when laying the power cable or other electric cables, especially when positioning the device in the middle of the room. Use cable bridges.

• Ensure that the extension cables are completely unrolled.

• Position the device near the source of air contamination.

• When positioning the device, keep a sufficient distance to heat sources.

• Make sure that no curtains or other objects interfere with the air flow.

• Make sure that the air inlet and outlet are not obstructed. Installation of the device in the room, the air of which is to be purified

• When positioning the device, make sure it is located in the centre of the room the air of which is to be cleaned. Alternatively, you can also position the device near the source of air contamination.

• Prior to operation you have to ensure that the filters have been installed in the device as desired.

• Also check, whether the pressure sensors are connected correctly. If the device, during operation, emits a warning of a filter being spent, the respective filter has to be replaced. If the device issues a warning, although a new filter has only just been inserted, check whether all sensor hoses are firmly attached.

• The device works in recirculation mode, this means that the contaminated air enters the air cleaner via the air inlet opening and is blown out through the air outlet opening in purified state. Air purification in sealed off area via air circulation:EN 11 air cleaner TAC 3500 Installation of the device outside of the room, the air of which is to be purified The device can be connected in either recirculation or ventilation mode.

• In recirculation mode, the air to be cleaned is led via a hose from the room into the air inlet opening of the device. The purified air is fed through another hose from the air outlet opening and back into the room.

• In ventilation mode, the air to be cleaned is led via a hose from the room into the air inlet opening of the device. This creates a slight negative pressure in the room. Clean, fresh air flows in from outside. Installation variants for maintaining the pressure: When connecting hoses, the following must be observed:

• The used pipes and hoses must be designed for the available static compression of the fans. They should preferably be laid in a straight line and at full length. 7.6m of air hose each can be connected to the air inlet and air outlet openings of the device.

• There ought to be a minimum distance of 1m between air inlet and air outlet opening. Connecting the power cable

• Connect the mains plug to a properly secured socket. Operation Operating elements
