Front Load Filter Option
Front loaded filter options require that the filters be removed
and replaced from inside the unit.
To remove filters, rotate the wire clips. This releases both the
prefilter and the final filter. When installing clean filters, check
to verify the filters are fully seated in the frame. See Figure 42.

Filter Gauges
Filter gauges indicate pressure drop for installed filters.
Table 16 shows the typical filter pressure drop for clean filters
at rated air flow. The tables also show a final pressure drop for
front loaded filters.
Where a single filter gauge is used, the prefilters can be
removed to check the pressure drop of the final filters.
