AAF International SAAF Cassette - Manual

SAAF ™ Cassette
Gasket Installation Instructions
(SAAF ™ Side Access Installation Only)
Better Air is Our Business ®
If the cassette is to be used in a side access application, sealing
gaskets must be applied before installing the cassette. Apply gasket
per the following instructions.
The instructions are specific to the installation of the Type HD
gas-phase chemical filter cassettes. Unless specifically mentioned
otherwise, the procedure for installing the Type MD and Type CG
cassettes will be exactly the same.
Preparing the Cassette for Installation:
Remove the cassette from its carton and plastic bag. You will notice
that each cassette or half-cassette is accompanied by a plastic bag
containing loose gaskets (see top right). These are supplied
specifically for use when the cassette is to be installed into an AAF
Side Access Housing. These gaskets are critical for the sealing of
the gas-phase cartridges to prevent by-pass of contaminated air
around the filters.
Note: All areas should be free of dust and moisture before applying
gaskets. Wipe the area with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Side gaskets:
Step 1: Remove the paper strip on the back of the black gasket to expose the adhesive.
Step 3: Firmly press the gasket into position so that it adheres to the side plate.
Step 4: Repeat to install the second side gasket on the other side of the half-cassette.
Step 2: Locate the gasket on the leaving air side of the half-cassette along the edge of
the cassette side plate. A gasket location guide has been formed into the side plate.
The gasket should be located to the outside of this line.
