1. Safety
DANGER: ELECTRIC
SHOCK
DANGER: NOISE
The unencapsulated fan can
generate sound emissions>
70dB (A) (with the aintenance
door open). Damage or loss of
hearing can result.
EAR PROTECTIONS
Have device maintenance and
repair carried out by qualied
personnel only. Sufcient hearing
protection must be worn during
maintenance and repair work
when the fan is running.
Operation may only be carried out after a instruction and training.
Maintenance and repair may only be carried out by qualied personnel.
Observe the principles for the safe operation of electrical devices.
For maintenance and repair work, the accompanying documents for the supplier
components must be observed.
Hazard potential emanating from the AstroPure Air Cleaner.
Electric shock:
Electrical supply line can possibly be defective.
Under no circumstances use devices with a damaged electrical connection cable.
• Check the power cords before use.
• Damaged cables must be replaced immediately.
• Electric cables must never be exposed to water, heat or sharp objects.
• Do not move the device by pulling the power cord.
• Avoid running equipment and vehicles over power lines, or provide adequate protection
for them.
• The device should be in the off mode to connect or disconnect the main power supply.
• Internal cabling (fan, control panel, UV-C stage) can be defective.
• Do not continue to operate devices with an internal error and, if possible, disconnect
them from the power supply.
• Carry out maintenance and repair work only when the power supply is disconnected and
the AstroPure air purier is switched off.
Crushing Hazard:
Due to its own weight, there is a risk of crushing when transporting and moving the
AstroPure air purier.
This can result in bruising of the extremities.
The AstroPure air purier must be moved with an appropriate method to avoid accidental
injury or damage of any kind.
Preferred method is to use approved lifting gear and secured against unintentional lowering
of the load:
1. protect the forklift forks before lifting
2. lift up slighty the AstroPure unit using the forklift and remove it from the wooden pallet
3. put down the AstroPure unit using the forklift

Appropriate ow rate
To achieve best air cleaning results, the air cleaners ow rate must be adjusted to the individual
situation of the designated room.
Following calculation steps provide a basic guide line:
• The volume of the designated room in cubic meters (m³) is calculated by multiplying the room’s
length * width * height in meters: V = L * W * H
• The desired number of room air exchanges per hour (ACH) has to be selected (units: 1 /h). This
number is sometimes also referred to as air exchange rate.
When this value is not preset, the following ACH values represent the currently applied
recommendations:
• Good ventilation: ACH = 4 1/h
• Excellent ventilation: ACH = 6 1/h
• Purging of rooms: ACH = 10 1/h
16
1617
The necessary air ow rate is then determined by multiplying the room’s volume V with the
desired air exchanges per hour.
• Necessary ow rate = V * ACH
Example:
• A room has the dimensions of (L * W * H) = 5 m * 8 m * 3 m
• The volume is calculated to 5 m * 8 m * 3 m = 120 m³.
• The desired air exchange rate is ACH = 4 1/h
• The air cleaner has to deliver 4 1/h * 120 m³ = 480 m³/h.
