amount of the gaseous pollutants. You will need to determine the requirements of your application. The Vapor Trap is
a disposable V-Bank, 24”x18”x12” filter and contains 27lb of activated granular carbon. It can be installed in place of a
HEPA filter. We recommend using our primary/secondary filter in front of the Vapor Trap to extend its odor absorption
capacity.
Troubleshooting
Your Omnitec Design machine is designed and engineered to provide years of trouble free service. Occasionally
problems occur. Here are some helpful tips and solutions.
The machine does not start
1. Check that the unit is plugged in and there is 115VAC available. Select either LOW or HIGH speed to turn the machine
on. If the red indicator light comes on, power is coming to the unit from the outlet.
2. Call Omnitec technical support to troubleshoot further.
The machine just hums when turned on
1. Unplug the unit.
2. Remove the HEPA filter and push the blower wheel by hand. If it does not move freely or if you hear a grinding/
scrapping noise as you spin it, then the blower wheel is touching the side of the blower housing. This may be due to
an impact of some kind and the motor mounts have been bent. Remove the motor/blower assembly and replaced
the bent motor mounts.
3. If the blower spins freely, check the capacitor. With the HEPA filter still removed from the machine, insure that the
wiring connected to the capacitor is plugged in and not broken. Re-plug the unit into the power outlet keeping the
switch in the OFF position. Then push the blower wheel and as it is spinning turn the speed selector switch to LOW. If
the machine keeps running, the capacitor needs to be replaced.
The machine will run for a few minutes then turn off
1. The machine must have a HEPA filter installed to operate properly. If you are trying to run it without a filter in place,
the motor will overheat within a few minutes and the thermal overload will engage and shut it down. Let he motor
cool off for 30 minutes, install the filter and try running the machine again.
2. If the filter is in pace and the machine still shuts off after a few minutes then the motor is faulty. Replace the motor.
The machine vibrates excessively when running
1. This is an indication that the motor bearings are worn out. If the machine continues running, at this point the
vibration will cause the center hub of the blower wheel to separate from the wheel requiring replacement of both the
motor and blower. Replace the motor.
2. If the machine does require electrical servicing of the motor or switches the following page contains a wiring
diagram to aid in repair or troubleshooting.
