PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT
Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how this system will operate if connected to any other
piece of mechanical equipment, i.e. a forced air furnace or air handler, operating at a higher static pressure.
Products are designed and manufactured to provide reliable performance, but they are not guaranteed to be 100%
free of defects. Even reliable products will experience occasional failures, and this possibility should be recognized
by the user. If these products are used in a life support ventilation system where failure could result in loss or injury,
the user should provide adequate back-up ventilation, supplementary natural ventilation or failure alarm system, or
acknowledge willingness to accept the risk of such loss or injury.
Your Fantech HEPA Filtration system should be installed in conformance with the appropriate local, provincial or
state requirements or in the absence of such requirements with the current edition of the National Building Code,
and / or ASHRAE’s “ Good Engineering Practices”.

Introduction
HEPA Air Filtration Systems
You have purchased a very effective air cleaning and treatment system incorporating HEPA (High Efciency Particulate Arrestance) lter technology.
This is the type of air cleaning equipment that respiratory specialists recommend most. To optimize the performance of your HEPA Filtration System, it
should be installed by a professional contractor who is familiar with your indoor air quality situation and the operation of other heating, ventilation and
air conditioning equipment that you may have.
Two Units to Choose From
The Fantech HEPA Filtration system is available in two different models, depending on your choice of installation. Typically the CM 3000 is used in
geographical locations where the HEPA unit can be installed in a conditioned space such as a basement, closet or heated crawl space, (Example on
page 5 & 6). The CM 3000 I (Insulated version) is normally installed in the southern U.S. states where it's common to locate the HVAC equipment in an
unconditioned space such as a garage or attic (Example on pages 7 & 8).

Operation
Your Fantech HEPA ltration system incorporates three stages of ltration. Air is drawn from the house via one of the installation examples, found
in this manual, by a powerful efcient EBM fan. The air is cleaned as it passes through the lters, where it is then reintroduced back into the home,
cleaned of the majority of harmful particles.
A semi-annual service schedule must be followed to ensure the HEPA unit is operating at its full potential.
Installation

Option A & B
* Diagrams are examples only. Actual installation may vary.
The return side of the furnace is the recommended location for the HEPA to connect to. The supply side is normally avoided due to the higher static
pressure.
Furnace fan should operate continuous or when HEPA unit is on and running. (Options A & B)

Option C
* Diagrams are examples only. Actual installation may vary.
Duct work can be concealed in walls or closets. If the floor is the only choice, special care should be taken to avoid noise or drafts.

* Diagrams are examples only. Actual installation may vary.
In options A & B, the air handler should operate continuously or when HEPA unit is on and operating.
Special care and attention must be given to ensure that all openings in unit, and its duct connections, are sealed, to prevent vehicle
exhaust from entering the unit. Always follow local and state building codes as well as good engineering practices.

* Diagrams are examples only. Actual installation may vary.
When unit is installed in an unconditioned space such as option C or option D, ductwork (not included) must be insulated and installed according to
local and state codes.
Unit should always be installed in a location that will allow the best possible access for service. Flexible ducting can be restrictive to airflow and
should be kept to a minimum. Avoid excessive turns, cramped ductwork and pinching.
*Proper airflow should be confirmed after installation

Installation may vary drastically from picture depending on location of all appliances. After installation, proper operation of all the appliances must be
confirmed by a qualified contractor.

Ventilation system (HRV/ERV) should be installed and balanced in accordance with its installation manual.
Furnace fan must be on when either the ventilation system (HRV/ERV) or the HEPA filtration system is operating.
A power damper is recommended to prevent backdrafting of some models of air to air changers, when in the off or standby position. This damper will
be installed between the HRV/ERV and the HEPA unit.
Models Flex100H, VHR100R, 70R, 150R, 1405R, 2005R, SHR1505R, 2005R & 3005R have an automatic backdraft damper build in that
activates when units are in standby position and do not need this additional damper.
All units should be checked after installation for compatibility and proper operation.

Service
The useful service life of the lter media in the HEPA Filtration System is directly related to the
volume of air passed through the system and the amount of contaminants in the air. In a typical
residential application, Stage 1 and 2, lters should be replaced every three to six months or when
needed. The Stage 3 HEPA lter should have a life span of two to ve years, again, depending on
the amount of particulate in the air and the maintenance of the Stage 1 pre-lter.
