  • Page 8: Estimating Cartridge Life

    INSTALLATION 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 AQ310s needed for a space. Here is the formula and table for making this determination.
  • Page 9: Room-Size Table

    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. 3. To conduct a smoke test, stand at the entrance of the room in front of the door and observe the direction of the smoke or vapor.
  • Page 10: Wall-Mounting Aq310

    INSTALLATION See Figure 1. If the smoke drifts out of the room,the AQ310 appliance should be placed on the wall furthest from the door. See Figure 2. If there is no clear direction that the smoke travels or it travels upward into the air-conditioning return grill, find a position near the air-conditioning supply grill.
  • Page 11 INSTALLATION In some locations local codes or rules require that the main power source be located beside the appliance. This will require an AQ310 hardwiring kit. If the appliance is PERMANENTLY CONNECTED in this way, a readily accessible disconnect device must be used. Consult with your electrician. 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.
  • Page 12 INSTALLATION Step 3 – Position the Mounting Bracket Place the mounting bracket directly over the power outlet (if hardwired or plugged elsewhere, position the mounting bracket to the side of the power source). Use the level to make sure the mounting bracket is horizontal. While holding the bracket level, use a pointy tool, screw or screwdriver to mark the location of the top two wall anchors.
  • Page 13 INSTALLATION Step 4 – Installing the Top Anchors Set the mounting bracket aside. Use an electric drill to make a " 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 14 INSTALLATION Step 6 – Drilling the Bottom Anchor Holes Drill a " hole as the guide for the anchors at the exact spot you have marked. Hammer the anchors in just enough to set them in place, then screw them in straight.
  • Page 15 INSTALLATION NOTE: Remember that the standard installation is to position the appliance right over the power source, storing the power-supply block and the power cord in the recess in the back of the appliance (US version only). To make this easy, do not untie the power cord and take just enough wire to make the connection.
  • Page 16 INSTALLATION Step 10 – Mounting the Appliance in Place Now unlock and open the door and insert the long round-head screws into the holes in the lower corners and into the anchors. Tighten the screws firmly.

    USER MAINTENANCE Cartridge Change When the reservoir is empty the cartridge needs to be changed. As noted in the Installation section, it is best to install the number of AQ310s so that, at the setting they need to run to adequately treat the space, the cartridge will last for the number of days between planned services.

  • Page 31: Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How does AQ310 work? AQ310 uses a recently patented technology to convert liquid fragrance compounds into tiny droplets less than the diameter of a human hair. By comparison, an 100th aerosol droplet is 100 times bigger and 1,000,000 times heavier. AQ310 droplets present 100 times more surface area to the air being treated, which means much less fragrance is used to create the scent effect.
  • Page 32 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How do I adjust AQ310? With the power cord plugged in you can adjust AQ310 up and down using the + /– buttons just to the right of the LCD screen. You can see the setting levels (1 to 50) on the right side of the LCD.
  • Page 33 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Is AQ310 eco-friendly? Yes, AQ310 is the most eco-friendly air freshener on the market. Unlike aerosols, AQ310 uses no propellants and produces no harmful volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Unlike many air fresheners, AQ310 uses no ethanol or simi- lar solvents to enhance the evaporation of fragrance chemicals.
  • Page 34 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Will AQ310 fragrances stain surfaces or fabric? Yes, all air-care fragrances will stain wood and stone and all fabrics if spilled. The best solution is avoidance by replacing the caps on cartridges after removing them and keeping the caps on all cartridges when not in use. How do I clean up a drip? If there is a drip, blot it as quickly as possible and then clean with soap and water.
