Installation General Location AQ570 is designed for permanent installation on wall surfaces over a 110 to 240V outlet (Fig. 1), mounted to a ceiling track-lighting system (Fig. 2), used as a table- or shelf-top unit (Fig. 3) or strapped to a column or pillar (Fig. 4). Service Area The service area range of AQ570 is from 200 to 30,000 cubic (10 to 850 cubic meters).
Estimating Cartridge Life Estimating how long a cartridge will last and the number of days between services is critical to performing an installation that can be serviced efficiently. This includes determining the number of AQ570s needed for a space. Please refer to AirQ’s ‘S3 (Sizing, Service & Success) Tool,’ available at AirQ Tools.
AQ570 can use, rather than fight, the natural air currents in a room. 2. Air currents in a room are determined by using a SMOKE TEST KIT available from Prolitec or any source of smoke or vapor, such as a candle or match.

If it makes sense to plug the appliance into an outlet that is near, but not behind the appliance, a rectangular, plastic wire-concealment conduit should be used (PN 10619). Step 2 – Mounting Kit, Parts and Tools mounting kit provided with AQ570 includes a mounting plate, which holds the appliance to the wall, and 4 screws and wall anchors suitable for plastered drywall —...
Step 4 – Installing the Top Anchors Set the mounting bracket aside. Use an electric drill to make a 1/8” hole at the exact location you marked. This will serve as a guide for the anchors. Use a hammer to tap the anchors in far enough so they stay well in position.
Step 7 – Hanging the Mounting Bracket Hang the mounting bracket by holding the bracket so the top holes match up with the anchors, then screw the 2 flat-head screws through the hole in the bracket into the anchors. Tighten the screws firmly, but do not crack the bracket.
Step 9 – Fitting the Appliance in Place Place the appliance so that the big holes in the top of the back cover fit over the rounded locking posts. In doing this, make sure the appliance is flush with the wall and the posts are in the holes of the appliance.
Scenting via HVAC System Unpacking Remove all parts from the container. The following items should be included: 1. The AQ/PS/RZ Appliance 2. 110/220V to 12V power adapter 3. Universal Adapter Kit 4. Sensor Housing comprising: a. Airflow Switch cable b. Three (3) Airflow Switch mounting screws c.
Installation for HVAC System Scenting Operation The AirQ generates micro-droplets 1/100th the diameter of a human hair from a reservoir of liquid in a disposable cartridge. These micro-droplets behave like a vapor. They are passed through a silicon tube and injected into the airflow of the air handler using an injector tube that is installed in a hole in the ductwork.
Positioning the Machine The AirQ 570 machine is mounted on a flat vertical surface — either a wall or on an air duct. The maimum run of the silicon injector hose between the Cartridge and the Injector Tube is 18”. The shortest possible run length is better.
Wall Mounting or Duct Mounting the Machine Step 1: Mounting Kit, Parts and Tools The mounting kit provided with the AQ570 (with HVAC kit) includes a mounting plate, which holds the appliance to the wall or duct surface; 4 screws and wall anchors suitable for attaching the mounting plate to drywall and 4 sheet-metal screws suitable for attaching the mounting plate to ductwork;...

4. The buttons will light alternately. 5. Press and hold for one second, and the display will show LOAD for about ten seconds. 6. The five buttons will light in sequence from left to right. 7. Remove the SD card; the display will show the currently loaded firmware version and the pump will run for one second.
Setting Scent Intensity 1. Determine the approximate size of the room in cubic feet or cubic meters by multiplying length x width x ceiling height. 2. Consult the Room-Size Table to give you a level (1 to 50) to set. THIS IS ONLY A STARTING POINT.
Plume Dispersion Fan The Plume Dispersion Fan reduces visibility of the plume and helps disperse fragrance within a room. The top port of the cartridge must be used for output with the fan running. NOTE: the included plume tube must be used, otherwise condensation may develop. Remember to keep the Front OUTPUT Port plugged.
Special Concerns for Track Light-Mounted Appliances Track Light-Mounted installations occasionally encounter a problem with fragrance deposits on the door of the appliance. Left uncorrected for several days the condensation can begin to drip, creating the appearance of a leak in the machine and damaging the floor. Cause This is caused by fragrance droplets from the output of the AQ570TL being blown back onto the surface of the machine by the ambient air flow.
USER MAINTENANCE Cartridge Change When the reservoir is empty the cartridge needs to be changed. The change process is simple. Best practice to wear gloves when manipulating the cartridge. 1. Unlock and open the door. 2. Turn off the power by pressing the power button. 3.
Inspect the o-rings on the air stem for breakage or deterioration. Replace as needed. Remove the plug from the Top Output Port first, then remove the large plug from the Air Intake port. Insert the new cartridge and replace the plastic tubing. Remove the empty cartridge from the property and deliver to a recycling center at a later date.
Changing an Appliance Appliance malfunctions are not intended to be serviced in the field. If there is no plume after following the procedure outlined above or there is any excessive noise level, then the appliance must be replaced with a new one. 1.
General Care • AQ570 is an electronic appliance. Treat it like a laptop. • Do not place or store AQ570 or its cartridges in extreme heat (more than 130˚ F) or in freezing temperatures. • Do not drop AQ570 on the floor. Do not drop it in or position it near water. •...

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How does AQ570 work? AQ570 uses a patented technology to convert liquid fragrance compounds into tiny droplets less than 1/100th the diameter of a human hair. By comparison, an aerosol droplet is 100 times bigger and 1,000,000 times heavier. AQ570 droplets present 100 times more surface area to the air being treated, which means much less fragrance is used to create the scent effect.
