5.0 COMMISSIONING 5.2 Status Indication
The filters fitted inside the unit are protected with a plastic film. The status of the unit is indicated by a series of LED’s on the front cover.
The variants are listed below.
Prior to commissioning remove the covers (Figure 20), take off the
film and replace. The display on the unit control panel will not indicate when a
higher speed setting has been triggered by an external source, such
