STARTING THE UNIT
1. Check to make sure that the Speed Control Switch is in the “OFF” position. Plug the power cord into a
120 volt AC, 60 Hz, 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 PRED1200 SPECIFICATIONS that lists the
airflows for the PRED1200.
Note:
In the event of a power failure while the unit is running, or loss of power due to any other cause, after a
brief delay this unit’s motorized impeller will re-start when power is restored.
TRANSPORTING THE UNIT
The PRED1200 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 PRED1200 Portable Air Scrubber inside a building or home.
The unit weighs 70 pounds. Older structures with weakened floors or staircases may require special
considerations for safe transport.
FOAM INLET PLUG
The PREDATOR® Portable Air Scrubber comes with a foam plug (P/N: PLUG10) that fits into the inlet of the
unit. Be sure to remove the foam inlet plug before use and insert it back into the inlet after use. The foam plug
keeps any collected contaminants that are caught in the filters or inside the cabinet from escaping the unit when
the unit is not in use.
USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
Abatement Technologies’ portable air scrubbers are designed to be low maintenance devices and basic
maintenance should be performed as follows:
• Filters should be changed as needed based on the filter change indicator light. Follow the FILTER
CHANGE PROCEDURE as described in this manual. Filters can be changed earlier, if desired, to
maintain a minimum required flow rate.
• The unit should be cleaned with a damp cloth or a water-based cleaner/sanitizer as needed. Do not use
harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents to clean the unit.
Warning:
Keep electrical components dry as their exposure to liquids poses a safety hazard and can damage
components.
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 (PPE) and follow safe work practices in accordance with federal,
state, provincial, local and employer regulations. Abatement Technologies cannot recommend the type of PPE
required as that will need to be determined by safety/risk assessment personnel based on various risk factors,
including the type of particulates being captured by the air filtration device and the surrounding environment
where the units are being used, transported, or serviced.
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.
