Instructions for Use

Transporting the Defend 1050

When transporting the Defend 1050, care should be taken when moving the unit to the desired location.

The transporter should be positioned close to the back of the unit holding the transport handle firmly with both hands. The transporter should place one foot against the base of the Defend 1050 for anchorage and pull the handle slowly towards them, stepping back on to their other foot.

Stabilize the Defend 1050 at a comfortable angle, depending on the transporters individual height, where minimal pressure is exerted against the body to ensure stability.

Once the destination has been reached, allow the unit to gently return to the upright position. The transporter should place one foot against the base of the unit and gently extend their forearms, allowing the unit to rest on its front feet.

The Defend 1050 should be placed in a dry location and connected to a suitable grounded outlet. The product is intended to be used as a floor standing unit only.

Once the product is installed, turn the power switch on the back of the unit to the ON position. The device is now ready to operate, please use the control panel to activate the unit to the desired speed.

Control Panel and Location

The control is located on the top panel of the Defend 1050 near the front of the unit.

The control panel layout is shown in Figure 1. The control features are listed below:

Power control

The control button on the furthest left-hand side of the control panel is for switching the device ON/OFF; the power button. The power button is clearly illuminated with a blue LED to indicate when the device is on. The blue LED is illuminated when in the ‘ON’ mode and non-illuminated when the device is in the ‘OFF’ mode.

Air flow control

The control allows the user to select the device airflow using selection button ‘+’ on the right-hand side for incrementing the air flow setting to a higher airflow, and ‘-’ on the left-hand side for decreasing the air flow setting to a lower air flow. The air flow setting level is clearly indicated by illuminating a series of blue LEDs in sequence (from left to right) according to the speed setting (e.g. two LEDs for speed II, three LEDs for speed III). The Defend 1050 has 5 selectable air flow speeds.

Save airflow to memory

There is an ability to save a selected airflow to memory so the device will revert to the last known speed on power-on. The last known speed can be saved to memory by holding the ON/OFF (1) and ‘-‘ (3) buttons for three seconds. To revert to factory settings and to clear the air speed memory the ON/OFF (1) and ‘+’ (5) buttons are held for three seconds.

HEPA Filter replacement test

The HEPA filter replacement test indicator is for information purposes only. The filter replace button, for testing the filter back pressure, is on the furthest right-hand side of the panel. Upon pressing the filter back pressure test, the device shall override the air flow setting to speed 5 air flow for testing the filter for a period of approx. 30 seconds. The test button shall remain backlit illuminated blue LED while the device is testing the air pressure.

The device will indicate that the HEPA filter needs to be inspected for replacement by illuminating the test button in orange or a continuous LED light in orange.

The device will indicate that the HEPA filter does not need to be inspected by illuminating the test button in green or a continuous light in green.

Novaerus recommends replacing the HEPA filter every twelve-month (12) period to ensure optimal performance, or when the filter test check output indicates to do so; whichever comes first. Discoloration on the HEPA filter may indicate that the filter has exceeded its life expectancy. The expected lifetime of these filters is approximately twelve months (12) under normal clean air conditions (such as that of a hospital ward).

Service and Maintenance Instructions

Service

No serviceable parts are contained within the Defend 1050 unit. The units should be opened by qualified Novaerus personnel only. The unit is designed with tamper-proof screws to ensure that it cannot be easily opened by anyone other than service personnel.

Maintenance – Replacement of Filters

Before replacing filters, ensure the power is switched off at the rear mains switch. Ensure all filter doors are securely closed before switching the unit back on via the rear mains switch.
