Patrol Sensor; Active E-Ions Have Two Actions; Monitoring; Detection - Panasonic 2008 Brochure & Specs

Patrol Sensor

A sensor monitors dirt in a room 24 hours a day!
Air is monitored both during air conditioner operation and
when it's switched off. When dirt is detected, the air purifying
function is started to immediately clean the air in the room.
How It Works

Monitoring

Whether the air conditioner is operating or not, the sensor
constantly monitors dirt in the air.

Detection

The sensor measures the dirt
in the air, and above a certain
level the air is judged to be dirty.
If dirt concentration exceeds the sensing level, the Air
Purifying System is switched on.
