- Refer to the Application Guidelines for recommendations on quantities to meet specified requirements for cleanliness and lighting.
These reliable, self-powered Fan/Filter Units provide a uniform flow of microfiltered air to meet cleanliness standards down to Class 10 (ISO 4).
All models use a 3-setting (hi/med/lo), centrifugal-type fan/motor with permanently lubricated bearings mounted inside a stainless steel housing with drop-in prefilter (stainless steel available). The HEPA or ULPA filter is mounted in a 304 stainless steel frame with stainless steel filter face grille; powder coated housing is available.
Advanced baffling technology ensures uniform airflow across the filter face and attenuates sound. Select HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, rated 99.99% efficient at removing particles ≥ 0.3 microns, or ULPA (Ultra-Low Penetration Air) filters, rated 99.9995% efficient at removing particles ≥ 0.128 microns. They provide years of no-maintenance, 24/7 operation, depending on your air quality.
All prices below include installation on a specified Terra modular cleanroom.

| Filter Replacement Alarm System |
|
This optional module monitors the efficiency of the HEPA filters and alerts personnel when the HEPA filters need to be replaced. The module's Photohelic gauge connects to the nearest Fan/Filter Unit equipped with a Challenge Port (Part # 6601-99) and displays the backpressure created within the FFU.
As the HEPA filter accumulates particles over its lifetime, pressure builds in the space between the blower and the HEPA filter. The Photohelic gauge features two manually adjustable needles that are used to mark the original backpressure reading and the maximum acceptable level (which is typically double the backpressure reading of a new filter). When the backpressure exceeds this set limit, the LED indicator light
located above the gauge will flash and a buzzer will sound, notifying
personnel that the room's HEPA filters should be replaced. An override
switch silences the buzzer, but the light continues to flash until the
filter is replaced.
If a HEPA filter accumulates too many particles and becomes clogged, it can result in a loss of efficiency that can compromise the cleanroom's ISO rating. If they are not replaced in a timely manner, severely clogged filters can destroy the motors in the Fan/Filter Units and potentially pose a fire hazard in the event of catastrophic electrical failure.

FFU Challenge Port
Air filters keep your environment clean, but validating their integrity can be cumbersome and knowing when to replace them is a challenge. Room designs, applications and staffing make each cleanroom unique. Therefore, it’s important to get baseline measurements of your equipment when first installed, and then set up a schedule for regular monitoring.
|
|
|
| Tubing fits into both the orange challenge port valve and the Magnehelic® gauge to easily record FFU pressure differential. |
Upgrade your fan/filter unit (FFU) to include a Terra-installed Challenge Port that both simplifies leak testing and helps establish a filter replacement schedule. The port is 3/8"-diameter, nickel-plated brass adapter fitting with a white polypropylene plug.

Price includes installation on specified FFUs.

| Night Service Switch |
- Energy-saving mode saves 25% of fan operating costs by reducing power consumption during off-hours
- Maintains round-the-clock cleanroom integrity at lower cost
- Easy to activate via panel-mounted switch (Wireless Cleanroom Control System also available)
Why Pay More for Less?
Terra cleanrooms are designed to meet a specified ISO cleanliness rating when a cleanroom is in use: with operations in progress, process machinery humming, and personnel in motion. So why pay to maintain that level of FFU performance when a production shift ends and people, the greatest source of contamination, leave the room?
With a greatly reduced contaminant load, a cleanroom at rest maintains its target ISO cleanliness standard with much less airflow, fewer air changes—and decreased power consumption. Terra’s Night Service Switch provides this cleanliness at a nominal cost, giving you immediate cost savings.
Simply select the “Night Service" Switch when you turn off the lights and go home. A separate operation circuit drops all Fan/Filter Units (FFUs) into low-energy operation mode, shaving 25% of energy costs off your power bill while maintaining uninterrupted cleanroom performance at your specified cleanliness level. With Terra's Night Service Switch, operators can save up to 7,000 kilowatt-hours per year with a return on investment in slightly over a year.** |
| Ordering Information |
A complete system includes fan/filter units and Terra's standard Power Distribution Modules (order separately), in addition to the units specified below. The Night Service Switch includes electronic configuration of each FFU controlled by this system. The Control Panel includes switch settings and indicator lights for Normal Mode and Night Service Mode, as well as a tamper-resistant master FFU Off switch.

| Eliminates surface charges generated by laminar flow for a cleaner cleanroom |
IonBar™ Ionizing Bar with FFU Installation Kit
The IonBar generates a balanced stream of positive and negative ions to neutralize surface static charges, protecting sensitive parts against ESD and eliminating surface attractions that make cleaning difficult. Its low-voltage design is intrinsically safe and minimizes EMI/RFI. Includes installation kit for easy attachment to fan/filter units (order separately), which disseminate ions throughout the cleanroom.
|
| Cord Adapter |
Connect your Terra Fan/Filter Unit directly to a wall outlet using this 3-foot cord adapter. FFUs are built with a 4-pin electrical connector for integration with a power module in a modular cleanroom or laminar flow hood. This adapter allows you to bridge the power connection when a power module is not used. Simply plug the 4-pin connector, that terminates in a NEMA 5-15 plug for connection, into the FFU power cord and fit the other end into a standard power outlet.

| Ceiling-Module Mounting Frame |
Stainless steel mounting frames allow ceiling modules to be installed in drywall or other hard ceilings without a ceiling grid.* The frames are sized to hold 2' x 4' fan/filter units or light panels, or 2' x 3' and 2' x 2' fan/filter.
Frames "cradle" the modules, and sit securely in the ceiling cut-out with support from top flange. Continuous seams in the 304 stainless steel frames' corners reduce deposit of contaminating particles and simplify cleaning. |
