Chapter 5: Using The Ductless Enclosure

 

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Status Area 

The LCD displays the Paramount Ductless Enclosure’s condition during 
operation such as the filter types, face velocity, and bar graph to display the 
remaining filter life in hours.  This line can display any of the following 
messages: 

Filters OK 

Both filters are operating properly.  (No audible alarm) 

 

Check Filter-t 

The filter check life timer has expired as programmed and the filters 
should be checked with colormetric detector tubes or other 
instrumentation.  (Intermittent audible alarm) 

 

Replace Filter-s or -t 

The filter needs to be replaced immediately as either the Safety-First 
Vapor Sensor (-s) has detected filter breakthrough or the filter final life 
timer (-t) has expired.  (Continuous audible alarm; can be muted for 5 
minutes) 
Note: The early warning signal that occurs with 5-10% remaining filter 
life is an intermittent audible alarm along with “Replace Filter-s.” 

 

Check Airflow 

The airflow patterns in the ductless enclosure have changed, resulting in 
a sudden change in the motor speed. This is most likely due to a 
blockage of the exhaust filter outlet, complete blockage of the filters, 
filter saturation, or motorized impeller failure.  (Continuous audible 
alarm; can be muted for 5 minutes) 

Operating the Pivoting Sash 

You can open or close the sash by pivoting the sash.  A latch or gas spring 
will retain the sash in the open position for loading only.  Always work with 
the sash in the closed position. 

Starting the Ductless Enclosure 

1.

 

To start the ductless enclosure, press the “Blower” button. 

2.

 

To turn the fluorescent light on, press the “Light” button. 

Note:

  The sash must be completely closed before performing work in the 

enclosure.
