Information about the device

Device description

Air cleaners are used to filter the room air. On building sites and renovation areas high concentrations of dust can arise, for instance when using angle grinders or during blasting, chiselling or demolition operations as well as when mixing dry mortar or tile cement.
Depending on the inserted filter, the air cleaner TAC 1500 S serves to eliminate various dusts, e.g. from asbestos, building rubble, quartz, flour, wood, etc., but also mould spores, paint particles and mineral fibres in the air, possibly arising during the above-mentioned operations.
This dust is to be vacuumed off as close as possible to the point of origin in order to reduce the pollution of the breathing air to a minimum. Depending on the used filter quality it is permissible to employ the device for the separation of quartziferous mineral dusts, wood dust, lead-containing dusts, artificial mineral fibres or high-temperature fibres.
Application as vacuum generator for mould remediation and asbestos abatement is also a possibility. In case of other hazardous substances there are additional requirements; hence observe the corresponding Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances (TRGS) or the country-specific regulations.
The device is suited for:
producing a vacuum in a room, e.g. in heavily contaminated spaces;
air purification in workspaces via air circulation, e.g. indoor building sites, workshops etc.;
producing overpressure in a room, e.g. cleanroom;
supplying filtered fresh air.
The device is structured as follows:
housing with stacking aid
adjustable fan for air transport
filter monitoring for air volume flow
The device may be equipped with various filters. It provides the user with the possibility of configuring both the filter quality and the filter chain arrangement for the respective field of application. The filters must be selected according to the area of application.
The device is approvable for asbestos abatement as per TRGS 519, dust class H.
Info
The filters are not included in the scope of delivery! Choose the filters according to the area of application from our filter range. Insert the selected filters prior to initial start-up.

Filter frame
The filter frame can be equipped with a coarse filter G and/or a fine filter F. We recommend using at least one coarse filter for pre-cleaning, so as to maximize the service life of the subsequent filter.
coarse filter G: Z-line filter G4
fine filter F: pleated M5 to F9
The coarse filter is to be assembled in a way that it is the first in the air stream.
For maximum efficiency bag and Z-line filters are to be assembled vertically.
Info
When the warning light lights up and the warning signal is emitted, still an air flow rate of 500m³/h is ensured. For an effective filtration of pollutants the scheduled directives of the (German) employer's liability insurance association recommend to exchange the filter.
Filter types (not included in the scope of delivery)
The designated air filters are especially geared to these devices and come with the largest possible filter surface based on the geometric dimensions. This ensures maximum air flow rate and service life for safe operation.
Using a bag filter
Info
Please note that the arrangement slightly differs if a bag filter is used. The bag filter is also inserted into the filter frame(10), more specifically in front of the coarse filter. Please observe the filter chain arrangement from coarse to fine.

Filter ladder and configuration depend on the pollutant particle size, filtration efficiency and the field of application. The filter technology is monitored by a sensor.
The fan and filter arrangement in the device corresponds to the general configuration for the air filtration of coarse dusts and fine particulates or the separation of suspended matter according to EN60335-2-69 up to dust class H. Here the filtration of dust particles and other suspended material harmful and hazardous to health has priority. The filter chain must be operated in a vacuum, i.e. with a terminal fan.

Start-up

When positioning the device, make sure it is located in the centre of the room the air of which is to be cleaned. Alternatively, you can also position the device near the source of air contamination.
Prior to operation you have to ensure that the filters have been installed in the device as desired.
Set the device up in a level, upright and stable position.
Do not create tripping hazards when laying the power cable.
Make sure that extension cables are completely unrolled.
Installation of the device outside of the room, the air of which is to be purified
The device can be connected in either recirculation or ventilation mode.
In recirculation mode, the air to be cleaned is led via a hose from the room into the air inlet opening of the device. The purified air is fed through another hose from the air outlet opening and back into the room.
In ventilation mode, the air to be cleaned is led via a hose from the room into the air inlet opening of the device. This creates a slight negative pressure in the room. Clean, fresh air flows in from outside.
Installation variants for maintaining the pressure:
Installation of the device in the room, the air of which is to be purified
The device works in recirculation mode, this means that the contaminated air enters the air cleaner via the air inlet opening and is blown out through the air outlet opening in purified state.
Air purification in sealed off area via air circulation:
When connecting hoses, the following must be observed:
The used pipes and hoses must be designed for the available static compression of the fans. They should preferably be laid in a straight line and at full length. 7.6 m of air hose each can be connected to the air inlet and air outlet openings of the device.
There ought to be a minimum distance of 1 m between air inlet and air outlet opening.
Connecting the power cable
Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains socket.

Errors and faults

The device has been checked for proper functioning several times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless, check the device according to the following list.
No. Designation
15 Filter change warning light 16 Power button 17 Air volume rotary switch
Switching the device on
Once you have positioned the device as described in the Start­up chapter, you can switch it on.
1. Ensure that air inlet and outlet are not covered.
2. Turn the air volume rotary switch(17) counter-clockwise to the lowest air volume.
3. Press the power button(16).
ð The power button(16) lights up.
Adjusting the air volume
By use of the infinitely variable air flow regulation you can adjust the fan speed and thus regulate the air flow rate of the device.
With the filter arrangement G4, F7 and H13 to meet the requirements of dust class H, the device with connected exhaust air hose (7.6 m, laid in 2 90° arcs) reaches an air flow rate of 600m³/h.
If the filter change warning light(15) warns that a filter change will soon be required, a minimum air flow rate of 500m³/h will still be ensured. Exchange the corresponding filters in a timely manner.
1. To increase the air volume, turn the air volume rotary switch(17) clockwise.
2. To decrease the air volume, turn the air volume rotary switch(17) counter-clockwise.
The device does not start:
Check the power connection.
Check the power cable and mains plug for damages.
Check the on-site fusing.
Wait for 10minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.
The device is loud or vibrates:
Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright position.
The device gets very warm, is loud or loses power:
Check the air inlets and air filters for dirt. Remove external dirt.
The warning light on the device lights up and an acoustic signal is emitted:
If the warning light lights up during operation, this means that the filters must be changed.
If the device issues a warning although a new filter has just been inserted, check whether any hoses connected to the device are kinked too much.
Notice
Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.
Your device still does not operate correctly after these checks?
Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the device to an authorized specialist electrical company or to Trotec for repair.
