GENERAL INFORMATION
The PRED1200 is a multi-use air filtration device, equipped with pre-filters and a HEPA filter that are capable of
filtering many airborne contaminants. An optional carbon pre-filter for capturing low concentrations of odors,
vapors, gases, and volatile organic compounds, collectively known as OVG, is also available.
Types of contaminants captured by particulate pre-filters, HEPA filter, or carbon filters:
• Dirt
• Dust
• Drywall dust
• Saw dust
Note: To capture low concentrations of OVG, a Vapor-Lock
®
carbon filter must be used.
The PRED1200 is capable of providing particulate and odor, vapor, gas filtration with final stage filtration through
a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. The PRED1200 incorporates a series of particulate filters which
successively remove larger size to smaller size particles from the air. In addition to providing HEPA filtration, the
PRED1200 is primarily used in a negative pressure or recirculation mode. A negative pressure condition is
created in order to confine contaminated airborne particles. This condition exists when the static pressure inside
the room containing the unit is lower relative to the pressure of the environment outside the room. The static
pressure differential is created and maintained by continuously exhausting air out of a given room at a faster rate
than air enters the room from all other sources. In the recirculation mode, all of the filtered air is exhausted back
into the room containing the unit.
Standard Air Cleaning Stages (filters supplied with the unit)
The PRED1200 comes equipped with two progressively efficient particulate pre-filters mounted in the pre-filter
compartment, and a final stage HEPA filter, located in the lower section of the cabinet:
•
The first-stage 1"-deep, coarse particulate pre-filter (F621) is designed to capture particles 100 microns
or larger.
•
The second-stage 2"-deep, pleated pre-filter (H502) is designed to capture particles 10 microns or
larger.
•
Each HEPA filter (H610C-99) is tested & certified to capture at least 99.97% (9,997 out of 10,000) 0.3-
micron particles.
