HVAC Filters

We buy air filters from:

Air Filter Sales, aka "Cam-Fil" (has many sizes): 5365 SE International Way, Milwaukie, OR 503-233-5101

Their regular hours as of March 2014: Mon-Fri 7:00am-3:30pm

Try to coordinate pickup of air filters with truck runs to the area, e.g. Hallmark dropoffs in Oregon City.

We order a high-quality filter called a "30-30" which has a green filter material.

They have many sizes in stock and can usually quickly make the custom sizes we need.

Here's the list* of filters we need for all HVAC units in our facility:

* This list is accurate as of March 2014.

Qty	Size (inches)	Nominal* or Exact	Custom or Regular
1	27x30x1	Nominal	Custom
1	13x21x1	Exact	Custom
4	20x20x1	Nominal	Regular
1	20x24x1	Nominal	Regular
1	20x25x1	Nominal	Regular

Note: *Nominal air filter sizes are 1/2 inch less than written. Exact size is the actual written dimensions.

Other Sources - in a pinch, you can also get filters from these other sources. Their filters are not as good for commercial use, but OK for temporary.

Hankins (True Value) Hardware - they have 20x20x1 and 20x24x1

1720 SE Hawthorne 503-236-2372

Fred Meyer - has common sizes

HVAC Filter Log

Filters are changed when they're dirty, usually every 2 to 6 months.

They're inspected during Monthly Facility Inspections, and changed as necessary.

Evaluating Filter Condition
- If the filter is solid gray (on the inlet side), change it.
- If the filter is dirty but not solid gray, it can be used for another month or so. You can vacuum the dirty side to let air flow through the filter better.

Emergency Egress Lighting Test Log

Emergency Exit Sign lighting is tested monthly and annually for Fire Safety compliance.
A map of all 16 (as of Feb 2013) exit signs is on the Free Geek Floor Plan at:

Free Geek Floor Plan (main floor)
Print a map to make this job easier.
Download the link above, saving it (don't just open it, or you won't be able to customize later).
You want only these 4 Tabs to be "Visible" and "Printable": Layout, Room Names, Exit Signs & Lights, and Utilities.
Find each tab and double click the tab name. Make sure "Visible" and "Printable" are checked. Click "OK". Then Print the page.

The monthly test is holding the test button on the emergency light for 30 seconds continuously.
The lighting passes if it stays on and does not get dimmer for the full 30 seconds.
The annual test involves cutting power to each emergency light and making sure it can stay on for 1.5 hours.

Recent Monthly Tests Completed:

2014: 1/15, 2/12, 3/19, 4/23-5/13, 6/13
2013: 2/22, 3/26, 4/23, 5/21, 6/25, 7/23, 8/28, 9/27, 10/22, 12/10

Annual Tests Completed:

2/10/2013, 2/23/14

Here's a chart to help you know which circuit breakers to turn off when you do the annual test. The map you printed will show you a "Unit #" next to each EXIT sign which corresponds to the "Unit #" below in this chart. The map also shows a lightning symbol near each Electrical Panel so you can find it in the building.

Central Vacuum Systems

We have two central vacuum systems for cleaning computers:
- One for the Secure Data Area
  - The SDA central vacuum is a Nutone Model SV-400, purchased in 2013.
- A second system for the Build Evaluation and Test Area.
  - The BETA Central vacuum is a Nutone Model SV-450, purchased in approx 2009.
The vacuum units themselves are located above in the Attic / Mezzanine (for SDA) and the Treehouse (for BETA).
Checking the vacuum bags for each system is a monthly duty for the person in charge of facilities.

BETA Central Vacuum

The BETA Central Vacuum unit is located upstairs in the Treehouse.
Near the SW corner of the Treehouse, you'll see a large wooden box about the size of a water heater.
The box is a sound muffler for the actual vacuum.

Changing the BETA Vacuum Bag

Don't do this job if you have dust allergies. Even if you don't have allergies, you might want to wear a dustmask.
Go upstairs into the treehouse and locate the central vacuum canister near the SW corner.
Turn off the power strip to the right of the canister.
Undo the two clips along the waistline of the vacuum, then undo the hanging canister from the unit above.
Check the vacuum bag for fullness. If it's full, carefully pull it down.
Replace it with one of the bags near the other central vacuum unit which is in the attic along the north wall.
If we're running low on bags, remember to make an R/T ticket in the Supplies queue.
Replace the cannister, and snap the clips securely.

SDA Central Vacuum

The SDA Central Vacuum unit is located upstairs in the Attic / Mezzanine.
After you go up the stairs, turn right to face the Attic. The North wall is on your left.
The vacuum unit is the large red drum mounted in the center of the North Wall.

Changing the SDA Vacuum Bag

Don't do this job if you have dust allergies. Even if you don't have allergies, you might want to wear a dustmask.
Take note that the vacuum is plugged into the higher of the two nearby plug boxes. On that higher box, the vacuum gets plugged into the upper plug.
Unplug the vacuum.
Undo the two clips along the waistline of the vacuum, then undo the hanging cannister from the unit above.
If the bag is full, pull it down and replace it with one of the bags nearby.
If we're running low on bags, remember to make an R/T ticket in the Supplies queue.
Replace the cannister, and snap the clips securely.
Plug the vacuum back into the upper plugs of the higher box.
