FUSES 

Switched units: A fuse is provided on the switch front plate. 

Speed controlled units: An additional fuse is provided within the speed control panel. To check this fuse, 

remove the service panel; the speed control panel is mounted on the rear of the service panel. 

Compressed Air 

VertEx VP requires a compressed air supply at 5 bar. Supplied air must be clean, and oil/moisture free. 
Contaminated air will result in poor cleaning of filters, filter degradation, or failure of components. We 

recommend installation of a shut-off valve, bleed-type regulator with gauge, filter, and condensate filter prior to 
the air inlet to the AirBench. 

You should regularly check the tank to ensure it is clean and dry internally. If moisture is present inside the 
tank, this can lead to corrosion. Your insurer may also wish to access the tank for regular inspections and you 
should ensure they are aware of the presence of an air receiver of 5l volume within this unit. 

Ducted Units 

As standard, VertExes are configured to discharge upwards through the top of the unit, without ductwork. 
Ducting should not be retrofitted to the discharge from the unit without consultation with the manufacturer. 

When configured for exhaust to atmosphere via ductwork a discharge spigot will be visible. These units are 

designed to connect to ductwork of the same size as the discharge spigot (generally 250 or 300 mm 
diameter). 

Ducting should be installed by a professional and should not provide greater than 100 Pascals resistance. 

Flexible ducting should be avoided as it may cause excessive back-pressure on the fan, and lead to reduced 
airflow. 

Any other configuration is non-standard and should be discussed with the manufacturer. 

Assembly of Accessories 

These items apply only when they have been ordered with the VertEx. 

ENCLOSURE 

Enclosures are supplied flat packed for assembly at point of use. Each enclosure is supplied with installation 

drawings and assembly should follow the process laid out in these drawings.
