HOW TO REPLACE THE CARBON FILTER
Please wear masks and gloves when handling used carbon filters. Have a plastic bag
ready for immediate disposal. Remove the rear access panel. Slide carbon filter tray
out and remove the old filter. Place immediately in a plastic bag and secure. Dispose
of properly.
HOW TO REPLACE THE HEPA FILTER
The TRACS system utilizes a HEPA filter with 80 square feet of media and can last from
2 to 5 years in a residential and light commercial environment. The HEPA indicator light
on the front panel will illuminate when the HEPA filter requires replacement. Warning:
the HEPA filter is contaminated and should be handled with care. Please wear masks
and gloves when replacing used HEPA filters. Have a plastic bag ready for immediate
disposal.
TRACS is equipped with a locking system to ensure air will not bypass around the
HEPA filter. In the area between the HEPA
and UV lamps, two thumb screws extend
downward through the HEPA rail at the middle
of the filter.
These thumbscrews push the HEPA
downward into the HEPA plate to lightly
compress the gasketing and ensure a good
seal. Loosen the thumbscrews so that the
filter can be lifted (a putty knife may be used to
carefully break the HEPA
’s seal on the lower plate if necessary) and removed.
Slide in the new HEPA filter into the filter rail with the gasketing on the bottom. Tighten
the thumb screws until you feel slight resistance from the top of the HEPA. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN. The screws only need very light pressure on the filter to compress
the gasket and create the seal.
