Congratulations on your purchase of your AIR160 Classic . The AIR160 Classic is based
on existing air disinfection methods that are already being used to purify the air in
hospital operating theatres. Three successful methods have now combined into a
single device that is suitable for smaller areas up to 100 m3. These three methods are:
air ionization, filtration and UV-C disinfection.
Purifying the air you breathe is no longer a superfluous luxury. An increasing number
of micro-organisms can be found in the air, including viruses, bacteria and moulds, and
these make our air less healthy to breath. We are increasingly made aware of how
dangerous these micro-organisms could become for human beings. As these micro-
organisms cannot be seen with the naked eye and are spreading through the air, this
hazard becomes even more pronounced.
Research indicates that the air quality in enclosed spaces can be very poor indeed.
Office areas, children's day-care centres, classrooms, old people's homes and family
doctors' or dentists' surgeries are examples of areas where many people come
together, and where the risk of infection through the air is correspondingly higher. Our
houses are also much better insulated than they used to be, with the result that natural
ventilation is steadily reduced. The quality of the air inside is therefore often poorer
than we think. Poor air quality at home is not only responsible for diseases, but can also
be the cause of headaches, respiratory irritation, insomnia and allergies.
With an AIR160 Classic device, you can disinfect the air up to 90% in areas up to 100
m
3
. In the case of larger areas, you can install several devices. Viruses, bacteria, moulds
and other micro-organisms that are present in the air are rendered harmless by the
device and are removed from the air, together with pollen, dust and odours. You will
quickly notice how the quality of the air has improved, and will feel fitter and more
comfortable. Your AIR160 Classic is the ideal tool to keep the air around you safe and
healthy.
Operation
The air is drawn into the underside of the device using a ventilator, thereby creating air
circulation in the room. The ventilator circulates 50 m
Depending on the size of the room, the ventilator can be set to the "low" position (25
m
3
air per hour / noise level 45 decibels) or to the "high" position (50 m
noise level 68 decibels). By setting a starting and a finishing time with the digital timer,
you can set the positions and the timing as you wish. For the best results, it is
recommended to keep your unit running 24 hours a day. If you place the unit in your
bedroom, for example, you could use the "low" position, which is at the same time the
setting for a reduced noise level.
The air that is drawn into the unit first flows through the "Aetaire High Air Flow (HAF)
Filter with Antimicrobial". This high-quality filter is also used in hospitals, among other
areas. The Aetaire filter removes larger particles from the air. This special filter has an
antimicrobial film that prevents the development of micro-organisms on the filter. The
antimicrobial film also reduces clogging of the filter and increases the filter's service
life. After passing through the filter, the air is treated with UV-C radiation. The special
Philips UV-C lamp in the unit generates an ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of
253.7 nanometres. The UV-C light destroys viruses, bacteria, moulds and other
primitive organisms. The radiation damages the DNA structure of micro-organisms and
prevents their reproduction.
The special aluminium interior of the housing provides additional reflection of the UV-C
radiation, thereby increasing the efficiency of the UV-C radiation up to 50%. The
reflection ensures optimum operation by completely exposing micro-organisms to the
eliminating UV-C radiation from all sides. After the UV-C treatment, the ionizer
launches 8.5 million negative ions per cubic centimetre into the air. The large number

air per hour /
of negative ions in the air improves the resistance of the body, and may even promote
healing processes. Outside air contains between 1,500 and 4,000 negative ions on
average. This figure is much lower in enclosed areas, between 0 and 50 ions per cubic
centimetre. Poor air contains a lot of positive ions. Micro-organisms easily spread
through the air using positive ions, and this also applies to dust and pollen. The
negative ions that are introduced into the air form a compound with the positive ions.
These compounds are too heavy to float in the air; they sink to the ground or are
stopped by the filter.
The integrated timer keeps an accurate record of the number of operating hours of the
lamp. This will tell you precisely when to replace the lamp and the filter. In areas where
more dust is present, the filter must be replaced more often. The air that is blown out
from the outlet at the top of the unit has been filtered to 90%, and has been ionized
and disinfected. Clean air in your living environment is better for your health. Pure air
not only increases the resistance of the body against diseases, but also reduces
respiratory problems, or could prevent such problems completely. Anxiety and
depression are reduced, or disappear completely. But the major effect is the prevention
of diseases.
