Lakeair LA-1000FM Operating And Service Instructions - page 5
Adjustable Exhaust Grille
Large adjustable exhaust grille with individu-ally adjustable vanes
allows a variable air-flow to be presented to the room according
to size and traffic pattern.
Safety Interlock System
Located in the channel behind the collecting cell, the micro-
switch controlled interlock system will not allow operation of the
LAFC without having the intake panel locked into place.
Two-Speed Fan Switch
Your LAFC is equipped with a three-position switch that allows
for
High
and
Low
fan speed as well as a center
off
position. The
electronic collection system and the fans are designed to run
simultaneously.
System Light
The LakeAir LAFC is fitted with a sys-tem light which
indicates when your air cleaner is in operation. Located
below the three-position switch, the light will be lit when
all system connections are activated.
Piggyback Fuse System
The unit is provided with a fused circuit that protects
valuable components in case of a power surge. An
additional “piggyback” fuse is located in the fuse holder
for easy access if it is needed.
HOW YOUR LakeAir MODEL LAFC WORKS
In business establishments or public buildings, millions of airborne particles are continually being circulated in the air you breathe.
Your LakeAir Model LAFC Self Contained Flush Mounted Electronic Air Cleaner removes the smoke, dust, dirt, pollen, and other
pollutants from the air with an electrostatic process which works this way:
1.
The internal circulating blower mechanism
draws the dirt laden
air into the system where
it first encounters the outer PREFILTER
SCREEN.
2.
The PREFILTER SCREEN collects the
larger particles from the
air and holds them on
its intermeshed surface.
3.
In electronic units, the air then passes into
the ELECTRONIC
FILTER CELL where it
first meets the IONIZING SECTION with
its
many fine ion wires. These wires charge the
airborne particles
by exciting them with a high
electrical charge. As the charged
particles
move along to the COLLECTING SECTION,
they are
trapped by the collector plates much
like a magnet attracts and
collects metal fil-ings.
4.
In HEPA LAFC units, the air is drawn
through a high efficiency,
hospital grade me-dia pad. The harmful particles are trapped and
held by the closely spaced fibers.
5.
The ACTIVATED CARBON AFTER-FILTER, the final filter in the
system,
removes odors and freshens the air.
6.
The cleaned and purified air is then
returned to the room environment.
