Frequently Asked Questions - RA-650 B-Air

How do I change the filters on the RA-650?

Unplug the unit, open the door by releasing the sliding latches, remove used filters, install new filters (pre-filter and HEPA), then latch the door closed. Always wear NIOSH compliant protective gear when handling used filters.

What does the filter change indicator light mean?

The filter change light illuminates when the HEPA filter needs replacement. It may also indicate restricted airflow. Replace the HEPA filter or remove obstructions.

Can I daisy-chain multiple RA-650 units?

Yes, you can interconnect up to three RA-650 units using the auxiliary/GFCI outlet for customized air filtration.

What are the electrical specifications?

The RA-650 operates on 115 volts, 60 Hz, draws 2.5 amps, and has a 0.33 hp motor. It requires a grounded outlet.

How do I reset the GFCI or circuit breaker?

If the GFCI trips, unplug the unit, check for hazards like standing water or frayed cords, then press the Reset button on the GFCI. For the circuit breaker, push the button in to reset after addressing the overload.

What is the warranty coverage?

The RA-650 has a 1-year parts and labor warranty from the date of purchase. Transportation costs are covered for the first 30 days; after that, the customer pays shipping.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, do not use an adapter or extension cord. Always plug the RA-650 directly into a grounded 115-volt outlet protected by a GFCI.

How do I clean the unit?

Clean the unit after each job to prevent cross-contamination. Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Do not allow water inside the motor. Ensure the unit is dry before installing clean filters.

What should I do if the unit vibrates excessively?

Check for a bent motor shaft, bent fan blade, or excessive dirt on the fan blade. Replace the motor or fan blade as needed, or clean the blade with a slightly damp cloth.

Is the RA-650 safe to use around pets?

Yes, it is designed to remove pet dander and allergens. However, never allow children or pets to play near the unit while operating, and keep it on a flat, stable surface.

USER MANUAL RA-650 B-Air

Read all warnings and instructions before using this unit.

The B-Air ^® RA-650 HEPA Air Scrubber is a portable filtration system that removes airborne particles including mold, pet dander, dust, pollen, drywall dust, and other miscellaneous debris as small as 0.3 microns. The RA-650 utilizes up to 3 stages of filtration including a pre-filter, optional 2nd stage, and a HEPA filter. The RA-650 will create cleaner air in any environment. The pre-filter and second stage filter capture larger particles and the HEPA filter captures smaller particles.

Warnings!

Do not move or carry the RA-650 while it is operating. When the RA-650 is operating, the powerful airflow can cause unpredictable movement.
- NEVER allow children to play with or around the RA-650.
Do not alter or modify your RA-650 in any way. Use only replacement parts authorized by B-Air ^® . Modifications or use of unauthorized parts could create a hazard and will void your warranty.
- Store the RA-850 in a clean, dry environment. Do not store outdoors or allow water inside the unit's motor. If the motor becomes wet, allow it to thoroughly dry before use.
The RA-650 should never be operated near water as it will create a risk of serious injury from electrical shock. Handle unit with care to avoid causing damage or injury.
The RA-650 should always be operated on a flat surface. Do not operate where unit could fall, or on slippery surfaces, as this could increase the chance of injury, fire, or electrical shock.
- Keep all liquids from being drawn into the RA-650 and never operate unit without factory installed safety inlet and outlet grills in place.
Do not use the RA-650 near combustible gas, or hot air as unit could melt and cause a fire or electrical hazard.
Do not take the RA-650 apart or repair it unless you are qualified to do so. Never repair or service unit while RA-650 is plugged in.
Make sure the air intake and outlet are free from all materials and away from obstructions, as any restrictions may cause the RA-850 to overheat and cause a shock or fire hazard.
● Unplug the RA-650 before performing any service or changing filters.
- Do not stack more than 2 units high in order to avoid a tipping hazard – falling equipment can cause bodily harm.

Operation

1) Place the RA-650 upright on a level and stable surface with the handle up.
2) Remove the dust cover.
3) Plug the RA-650 into a grounded 115 volt grounded outlet with the correct voltage and amperage. For maximum protection against electrical shock, ALWAYS use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. If you are unsure about the outlet, check with a qualified electrician or service person. Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
4) To switch the unit on, locate the control panel and turn the variable speed switch clockwise to the desired speed setting.
5) Operate unit until area is clear of unwanted contaminants or until filters need to be changed. The control panel has a filter change light which illuminates when the HEPA filter needs to be changed. See section on changing filters for instructions.

Auxiliary/GFCI Outlet/Daisy Chain

You can interconnect ("daisy-chain") up to three RA-650's to customize your air filtration needs. The GFCI will "trip" if it detects a sudden "ground fault," or overload and interrupt the electric current. When the GFCI "trips," unplug the unit and look for potential hazards such as standing water, frayed cords, or anything that would cause a dangerous electrical problem. If such a situation exists, plug the RA-650 into a different outlet and then push the "reset" button which is located between the 2 outlets on the GFCI. If the unit will not operate check the circuit breaker section below.

Circuit Breaker Switch

The RA-650 is equipped with a circuit breaker switch to protect the RA-650. The switch is located directly above the GFCI outlet and cuts off power to the unit when it detects an unsafe amount of electricity passing through the unit. If the switch "trips," unplug the unit and look for potential hazards or anything that may be creating an overload situation. "Reset" breaker by pushing button in and continue normal operation.

Changing Filters

Warning! Contaminated Hazard

Always wear NIOSH compliant protective gear when changing filters and dispose of used filters according to your local regulations.

Filters should be changed after every remediation job and whenever the filter change indicator light comes on. The unit should also be cleaned after each job to prevent cross-contamination.

Make sure the unit is dry before installing clean filters.

To change filters:

1) Unplug the RA-650
2) Open door by releasing sliding latches outward, away from the RA-650 body.
3) Remove used filters and install new filters.
4) Latch door closed and plug the unit in a grounded outlet before operating.

Warning!

For the safe operation of this machine follow the instructions given in this booklet and the training provided. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to machine and property!

DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT!

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
