To switch the unit on, locate the control panel and turn the variable speed switchclockwise to start the unit (see "Control Panel'' below). Then selecteither a maximum (500 CFM) or down to a minimum (250 CFM) airflow rate. To
maintain the optimal CFM, consult the IICRC 5520 standards, 10.3.t See
this manual's "Resources' section (pg.5) for how to get an 5520 standards guide.
5.The HEPA 500 is multi-positional. For more information, see "Specialized

Variable Speed Control Note that the MAX setting is located immediately left of the OFF button, and the MINsetting requires an almost 360 degree clockwise turn.
Change LightThe change light illuminates when you need to change the HEPA filter.
The Auxiliary OutletYou can "daisy chain" or interconnect up to 3 NEPA 500's to customize your air filtra-tion needs The unit can conduct a maximum of 12 amps when it is turned off, and 9amps when it is turned on That means you can plug other equipment into the unit,but the amperage is limited
Red Circuit Breaker Switch The primary purpose of the circuit breaker is to protect the machine. It turns the unitoff when more than 12 amps run through the on-unit circuit
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) The GFCI helps protect the user should it detect a sudden "ground fault,' the GFCIwill interrupt the electric current The GFCI will also trip when a short circuit or anoverload occurs.
When the GFCI "trips, unplug the unit, and look for potential hazards—standingwater, frayed cords, etc—anything that would cause a surge of electrical currentRelocate the unit and plug it into a different outlet. Then push the "reset" button, andcheck to see if it's operating; if so, continue use, if not call a Dri-Eaz TechnicalSpecialist at 800-575-5152.
About the filtersThe NEPA 500 utilizes a 2-stage filtration system designed with the most advancedHEPA filtration technology available. The first stage utilizes a pre-filter (Figure 3), andthe second a HEPA filter (Figure 4). The pre-filter captures larger particles, and theHERA filter captures 99.97% of smaller particles down to 0.3 microns.
For environments with a high volume of aerosolized particles, you can use 2 prefiltersto extend the life of the HEPA filter. See "Maintenance' for how often to replace filters.
Changing filters
1.
With a 3/8" wrench, loosen the 8 latches holding the inlet panel in place. See
Figure 2.
Slide the latches outward, away from the center of the inlet panel.

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the DefendAir HEPA 500 before performing maintenance.
Before Each
Always wear an appropriate NIOSH-approved respirator and personal protec-tive equipment when removing or replacing filters, or when cleaning theDefendAir HEPA 500
•Inspect the electrical cord for damage. Look for fraying, cuts, etc. Do notuse the unit if you find any Call Dri-Eaz for the nearest Service Center.
•Check your GFCI protection. Plug the unit in and turn it on, depress the red GFCI"Test" button. If it's operating properly the "Reset' button should pop up. (Note:
you'll need to depress the 'reset" button again for operation.)
When using the DefendAir HEPA 500 for water damage restoration:
•
inspect pre-filter before each use that could restrict airflow through the filter into the unit If any is visible,change out the pre-filter.
•Replace the HEPA filter when the Change Indicator Light comes on
Note: To be assured of true HEPA Oration, change the HEPA filter after
water damage job. or when the indicator light comes on. whichever
