Page 7: Estimating Cartridge Life
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 AQ550s needed for a space. Please refer to AirQ’s ‘S3 (Sizing, Service & Success) Tool,’ available at AirQ Tools. -
Page 8: Appliance Location
AQ550 can use, rather than fight, the natural air currents in a room. 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. - Page 9 Step 2 – Mounting Kit, Parts and Tools mounting kit provided with AQ550 includes a mounting plate, which holds the appliance to the wall, and 4 screws and wall anchors suitable for plastered drywall — 2 short flat-head screws and 2 longer round- head screws.

Page 10: Installing The Top Anchors
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. -
Page 11: Hanging The Mounting Bracket
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. -

Page 15: Operation
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. -
Page 16: Positioning The Machine
Positioning the Machine The AirQ 550 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. -

Page 28: Chapter 8: Special Concerns For Track-Light Mounted Appliances
Special Concerns for Track Light-Mounted Appliances Track Light-Mounted installations (AQ550TL) 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 AQ550TL being blown back onto the surface of the machine by the ambient air flow. -

Page 33: Chapter 10: Applications
There are four basic applications for AQ550: ambient scenting, product marketing, odor control and aromatherapy. These applications are different in terms of their objectives, but they all employ the same combination of Prolitec’s proprietary air-treatment chemistry and AQ550 computer-controlled delivery system. -
Page 34: Product Marketing
• Hotel hallways The Prolitec approach to odor remediation uses a proprietary and patented neutralizer that inhibits the human olfactory system from detecting the odor and then injecting a small amount of scent to create an ultra-low concentration in the air of less than 1 ppm. This approach is unique and much more effective than traditional approaches that simply douse the odor with a high concentration of scent. -

Page 38: Chapter 12: Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How does AQ550 work? AQ550 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. - Page 39 How does AQ550 differ from aerosol room fresheners? The more expensive aerosols can produce a very pleasant scent, but only for a few minutes and in very high concentrations just in the area they were sprayed. AQ550 is what is known as a “continuous action” air freshener.
