3. Ensure the IQAir® system can clean enough air to cope with your room size. The actual hourly air volume cleaned by the system should be at least double the air volume of your room. If the rate at which pollutants enter the room air is high or the indoor air quality requirements are stringent, the hourly air delivery of the system needs to exceed the room air volume several times.
2.1 Unpacking To unpack the IQAir® system, open the top of the box and remove the square styrofoam pad which contains all accessories and product literature. Lay the box on its side, hold the system by the handle and pull it out of the box.
Chapter 2 – Setting Up 2.2 Fitting Your Air Purifier with Casters Attaching the supplied casters is optional. They make it easy to move the air purifier between rooms. Attention: Please be careful and roll the unit gently when moving it over thresholds or other obstacles to avoid breakage.
Important: The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord. Do not use the IQAir® system when the power cord becomes damaged. The power cord may be replaced with an approved cord with a two-pole plug. These power cords are commonly used for computers and similar appliances.
3.1 Description of Housing Components The IQAir® system features a modular tower design in which all important filtration and air moving components are positioned vertically in-line, i.e. stacked on top of another. Air is drawn into the system at the base, and passes through several filter stages to be returned to the room via the diffuser on top of the system.
3.2 Description of Removable Components The IQAir® system features a modular housing design which enables the easy replacement of all filters in a matter of seconds. The illustration below shows all the removable components. For more details on how to re pla ce filters, please refer to Chapter 6 –...
Power Key The Power key switches the IQAir® system on and off. When the system is switched off, the fan stops to run, but the system will remain connected to the power supply (standby mode). The standby mode allows for automatic timer start-up.
4.3 Fan Speed and Air Delivery The IQAir® system can be set to run at six different fan speeds which correspond to six different airflow rates. Speed 1 is the lower, speed 6 the highest fan speed. The higher the fan speed, the more room air will be filtered by the system.
Any air cleaner can only be effective if it filters a sufficient amount of air in an indoor environment. For general air cleaning purposes, the IQAir® system should be able to filter the room air volume at least twice every hour on the set fan speed to achieve a significant air quality improvement.
4.4.2 Filter Life Monitor The IQAir® system is equipped with an electronic Filter Life Monitor that calculates the remaining life of the sys tem’s filters. Thanks to the Filter Life Monitor, the user does not have to guess when filters need to be replaced or replace them at fixed intervals (which rarely correspond to the actual amount of use).
Chapter 4 – Using the Control Panel 4.4.3 Setting the Daily Timer timer status field The Daily Timer Menu allows the setting of a Timer ON period, which is defined by a start time and an end time. For the Timer ON period, a fan speed can be selected in the Timer ON Fan Speed Menu (see 4.4.5).
Chapter 4 – Using the Control Panel 4.4.4 Setting the Weekly Timer The weekly timer allows the activation/deactivation of the Timer ON period on certain days of the week. In its default setting the timer is enabled on all seven days of the week.
4.4.6 Timer Information in the Control Panel The IQAir® control panel informs about the timer status without the need to access the T imer menu windows. When the timer is activated, the second line of the display’s main window shows the selected start and the stop times. In addition, the timer LED will show a green light when the timer is activated.
Chapter 4 – Using the Control Panel 4.4.8 Filter Life Reset The Filter Life Reset function allows the filter life counter to be reset after a new filter has been inserted. As a result, the appropriate filter life LED on the control panel will be reset to green and the hour count in the Filter Life Reset display will be reset to the full life span of the new filter.
Gases and chemicals may be set free from solvents, paints, varnishes and from vehicle or industrial emissions, as well as pesticides. Such pollutants influence the life of the gas and odour filter in the IQAir® system. If there is a regular presence of gases and chemicals, it is recommended to increase the Chemical Index to “high”...
Chapter 4 – Using the Control Panel 4.4.11.2 Modifying the Filter Load Index The Filter Load Index menu allows the adjustment of the individual pollution indices to reflect the actual pollution levels in a particular environment more closely. This enables the Filter Life Monitor to perform a more precise calculation of the remaining filter life.
Switching the System On and Off To switch the IQAir® system on with the remote control, press any one of the speed control keys marked with 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. To switch the IQAir® system off, press the OFF key.
Chapter 6 – Replacing Filters The IQAir® system is equipped with a filter life monitor which is designed to assist you in determining when a filter needs to be replaced. If the pollution load is high and the filter load indices are not set appropriately, there is a possibility that the filter may not be effective throughout the displayed life time.
The stacked housing elements are held together by two locking arms that hook into the diffuser. To open the system follow the steps below. 1. Disconnect the IQAir® system from the power supply before at temp ting to open the system.
