PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Before You Start
Inspect all cartons and boxes for flaws and shipping damages.
If anything is discovered to be damaged, contact the shipping company and file a freight claim.
Ensure that all HEPA/ULPA filters are stored in a clean, dry location in a vertical position, as labeled on the carton.
Ensure ductwork is balanced to scheduled flow prior to proceeding.
NOTE: Extreme caution should be taken to avoid contact with filter media. Touching filter media may result in filter failure. Damage
to filters can occur during installation or during leak qualification testing. The filters supplied by Price have been 100% tested
and certified by the manufacturer to be free of defects and leaks. Price cannot accept responsibility for damage that occurs after
shipment, whether through transit, handling or installation, and will not replace filters under Price standard warranty.
To ensure fan filter units are properly balanced, read Technical Note: Design with VAV/Constant Flow Boxes and Ducted Applications prior to starting installation.
A minimum of two (2) people will be required to install the filters.

FAN FILTER UNIT
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Introduction
Price Fan Filter Units (FFU) are ceiling module diffusers consisting of a fan/motor assembly and Roomside Removable (RSR), or
Bench Top Replaceable (BTR) filters. The module is designed to provide unidirectional vertical airflow of filtered, clean air over a
cleanroom space.
Fan Filter Units (FFU) models will have three (3) stickers located on the back of the plenum. For ease of troubleshooting assistance,
replacement parts, and general factory assistance, it is recommended that the order number, and model line string be used as
reference. This information can be found on the Factory Label.

INSTALLATION & SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
Diffuser Module Installation
The Price FFU will come completely assembled from the factory with the exception of the HEPA/ULPA filters, which will ship in its
own carton, and the speed controller wall kits (if selected).
NOTE: Do not open the HEPA/ULPA filters until they are ready to be installed in the FFU units. All construction in the space should
be complete, the site and upstream air should be clean so as not to unnecessarily load the filter.
Sample line string for Room Side Replaceable filter:
STEP 1: Remove FFU from shipping carton and inspect for any damage.
FIGURE 1: UNIT UNPACKING
NOTE: Ensure the HEPA/ULPA filter has been safely stored in a vertical position, per carton label, until ready for use.
STEP 2: If unit is Bench Top Replaceable (BTR) refer to page 13 for filter installation prior to proceeding. Once BTR filter is
installed, proceed to the next step. If unit is Room Side Replaceable (RSR), proceed directly to next step.
Sample line string for Bench Top Replaceable filter:
STEP 3: Raise the unit through the ceiling grid at an angle until entire unit is above the grid
STEP 4: Lower unit onto the backside of the tees.
STEP 5: Secure the unit to the overhead structure using the eyebolts located on the back of the unit.

STEP 6: Adjust and level the unit so that it rests on the tees and there is adequate compression on the gasket to warrant a tight
seal.
Ensure that ceiling grid is properly gasket/sealed to prevent infiltration of unfiltered air from the ceiling plenum into the room side.
Above steps are manufacturer's suggested hanging techniques, always make sure to follow all local building codes, including
seismic, where applicable.
STEP 7: Refer to Factory Label to determine which speed controller is on the unit and use the following table for appropriate
reference page for the particular speed controller on your unit.
STEP 8C: Locate pre-installed electrical box for wall-mounted speed controller.
NOTE: Wall kit must be mounted horizontally, as shown above.
FIGURE 5: ECMDX WALL KIT SPEED CONTROLLER
FIGURE 6: ECMDX WALL KIT SPEED CONTROLLER
STEP 9C: Wire unit according to wiring diagram found on page 58 - 60. Motor speed controller will have color coded wires and
must be wired to the matching colors on the wall-mounted portion.
NOTE: 24VAC and COMMON will need to be run from the terminal block in the control box to the terminals listed 24VAC HOT, and
COMMON on the wall-mounted portion.
NOTE: Wiring should be carried out by a certified electrician and meet national and local electrical codes.
STEP 10C: Attach the wall-mounted controls faceplate to the electrical box using the screws provided.
STEP 11C: Wire the unit according to appropriate wiring diagram. If Power Cord (PC) option is selected, simply insert plug end
STEP 8D: Wire unit according to appropriate wiring diagram. If Power Cord (PC) option is selected, simply insert plug end into
electrical socket.
NOTE: Polarity is important and must be observed. It is also vital that the 24 VAC common side of the transformer be Earth
grounded.
STEP 9D: Hook up applicable BACnet, and/or local Building Automation System (BAS) according to wiring diagram found on
page 58 - 60. For multiple units, use provided cable to daisy chain units together. If using BAS or Local Set point, reference the
BFC controls section on page 39 for applicable instructions.
FIGURE 7: DAISY CHAINED FFU UNITS
NOTE: For additional information on BACnet, and the BFC controller, refer to the BACnet Wiring Guidelines, and BFC Manual which
are available on the Price Industries website @ priceindustries.com
STEP 10D: Wire the unit according to the appropriate wiring diagram found on page 58 – 60. If power cord option is selected,
simply insert the plug end into the electric socket.
NOTE: Extreme caution should be taken to avoid contact with filter media. Touching filter media may result in filter failure. Damage

STEP 5
Loosen cam locks on diffuser to prepare filter for installation. Be sure latches are turned inwards so as not to interfere with filter frame.
NOTE: Note location of filter alignment guides (minimum one per side, dependent on size).
STEP 6
Raise the filter in place using two people and being careful not
to contact the filter media.
STEP 8
STEP 7
Using the alignment guides, raise the filter into place, ensuring
filter gel seal channel seat into knife edge of plenum.
NOTE: Do not bottom out gel seal in plenum knife edge. The gel
seal needs to ‘float’ in gel seal to ensure proper seal.

NOTE: An adaptor/test fitting that is longer than 1.5” and/or wider than 1” will not fit.
STEP 4: Inject aerosol test agent and measure particulate counts according to local codes.
NOTE: Aerosol Sample port can be used to measure upstream particle counts. Refer to page 15 for static pressure port details.
STEP 5: Disconnect test equipment, and reinstall plugs in the static pressure (if applicable) and aerosol injection ports. Reinstall
diffuser face (if applicable).
If the safety cables were also disconnected when removing the face, they must be reattached. When reinstalling the face, care
should be taken to tuck safety cables in place without damaging the filter.
NOTE: Airflow and aerosol challenge concentration should be kept uniform during the test. Static pressure and concentration may
be sampled through the static pressure port during the test, if required, to verify flow and concentration.

frame and latch in place.
Filter may be repaired by a trained technician.
Check seal between unit and ceiling plenum and seal as
required.
Isolate unit by placing cardboard or sheet metal to create
vertical 'walls' extending 2ft below the ceiling plane. If filter
passes, sealing of adjacent lights, diffusers, and/or ceiling
If different set points are desired, they can be adjusted as follows:

Example:
HEPA filter with desired set point of 0.9 in w.g.
Number of turns at 0.9 in w.g. = 4
Number of turns at factory set point of 0.6 in w.g. = 2.2
Number of turns to field set = 4 – 2.2 = 1.8 (approximately)
NOTE: Maximum available pressure setting is 1.0” w.g. Do not exceed 4 ½ turns (total).
STEP 3: Turn screw clockwise the number of turns calculated above. You will need a 1.5mm hex Allen wrench
STEP 4: To check filter pressure set point and/or to fine tune, insert Magnehelic gauge into the static pressure port (located along
knife edge of diffuser – diffuser face must be removed to access).
STEP 5: Using an obstruction (piece of cardboard or equivalent), slowly increasing pressure on the unit by blocking off more and
more of the diffuser face until the LED turns from green to yellow.
STEP 6: Take pressure measurement at point the LED changed color and rotate the adjustment screw until desired pressure set
point is reached.
