This instruction manual provides important information on the use of the HA700 and HA700A portable air
filtration units. These instructions must be carefully followed in order to operate the unit safely and correctly. If
there are any questions regarding the use or case of the unit, please contact Abatement Technologies
immediately at +1 800-634-9091 (U.S.) or +1 905-871-4720 (Canada).
Abatement Technologies strongly recommends users of the room air filtration units and accessories to follow the
most recent guidelines and/or standards published by the: Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Environmental Protection Agency, American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers, and all other federal, state, provincial and local regulations.
Note:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s publication “Guidance for Controlling Asbestos Containing
Materia
ls in Buildings”, EPA 560/5-85-024, includes helpful information on air filtration systems. Abatement
Technologies strongly urges anyone performing asbestos abatement to read the most recent edition of this
EPA publication before using any air filtration system.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The HA700 and HA700A are multiuse air filtration machines,
equipped with two pre-filters and a HEPA filter
that are capable of filtering many airborne contaminants
. An alternative 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
Lung-damaging particles
Low concentrations of OVG
Dust
Metal fumes
Low concentrations of Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC)
Drywall dust
Smoke
Saw dust
Mold and fungal spores
Unpleasant nuisance odors
Note: To capture low concentrations of OVG, a
VAPOR-LOCK®
carbon filter must be used.
The HA700 and HA700A are capable of providing particulate and odor, vapor, gas filtration with final stage
filtration through a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. The units incorporate a series of particulate
filters which successively remove larger size to smaller size particles from the air. In addition to providing
HEPA filtration, the HA700 and HA700A are 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 HA700 and HA700A come equipped with three progressively efficient particulate filters. The first two stage
filters are mounted in the pre-filter channel and the final stage HEPA filter is located inside the cabinet:
First stage, 1" deep, coarse particulate pre-filter (P/N: F621) is designed to capture particles 100
microns or larger.
